Chapter 1526: All depends on imagination
"...Jennifer Lawrence?"
Gawain took a little while to react, but his tone was still somewhat uncertain.
Tobias looked at Gawain's serious face, not joking at all, and realized that Gawain really didn't take Lawrence seriously.
"Even if you keep your distance, there's no need for you to deliberately refuse to answer her calls, right?" Tobias' thoughts strayed off track and wandered to other things.
Gawain quickly pulled Tobias back on track. "There's something wrong with what you said. I don't even have her contact information. How does she know mine? We didn't exchange business cards."
Tobias blinked and cleared his throat awkwardly. "I gave her agent your contact information. He asked about it, and I thought it would be good for you young people to make some friends..."
As he spoke, Tobias shifted his gaze guiltily and looked into the distance.
Gao Wen laughed dumbly and shook his head helplessly. "See, it's not my problem. You know my phone is set to anti-harassment mode. It automatically refuses to answer calls at 10 o'clock at night. I only set a few special numbers that are not affected. So I didn't know Jennifer called at all."
Because the unknown number was automatically blocked.
Tobias continued to look at the distant mountains with an embarrassed expression. No wonder Gawain couldn't be contacted. He was so careless that he forgot about it.
But the problem cannot be left unaddressed.
Clearing his throat again and drawing his attention back, Tobias looked back at Gawain, "Jennifer couldn't get in touch with you, so she just came here. She's waiting in the hotel lobby now."
This time, it was Gawain's turn to be dumbfounded -
What's going on? Tobias rubbed his nose. "If you don't want to go downstairs, I can tell her that you've rested and can tell her if you have anything to say."
Gawain did not speak, but looked at Tobias quietly. They had known each other for a long time. With Tobias's ability, he must have tried to stop Lawrence. After all, Tobias also knew Gawain's biological clock.
But Tobias still went upstairs and knocked on the door, and his expression was a little anxious. It seemed that he was unsuccessful, and Lawrence had thrown out a heavy bomb.
The corners of Gao Wen's mouth rose slightly, "So, what did Jennifer say?"
Tobias was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Gawain had seen through the situation, and his expression was somewhat helpless. "She didn't say anything, she just sat in the hotel lobby and refused to leave. It seemed that someone had recognized her."
Awesome, it’s really awesome——
Of course, they could just ignore it and pretend that Gawain had nothing to do with Lawrence. After all, the hotel lobby was a public place with people coming and going.
However, they need to think about the background of the whole story, the riot at tonight's premiere, and then Lawrence appeared in the lobby of the hotel where Gawain was staying in the evening; whether Gawain showed up or not, the paparazzi would be able to establish a connection, and catching wind of rumors and making something out of nothing is their strong point.
As an agent, Tobias can do a lot of things, but he is not omnipotent after all. Some things still require Gawain to do it personally.
The reason he was upset just now was that Tobias was completely kept in the dark and didn't understand what was going on. If he was kept in the dark and knew nothing, it meant that he had no way to formulate a countermeasure; but now that he understood Gawain's position, his brain started to work.
"Gawain, if you are not prepared to respond, just tell me and I will be prepared in advance. I just need to understand your position."
When the time came, Tobias did not find out what happened between Gawain and Lawrence, but chose to believe Gawain. This trust was not easy to come by, but it was also what Gawain had earned through his actual performance over the past six months. Tobias was willing to believe Gawain.
Instead, Gawain grinned, "Nothing, John, nothing happened between Jennifer and me, you don't need to guess."
It was obvious at first glance that Tobias had made up a melodramatic story in his mind, but Gawain knew that nothing had happened.
"After the premiere, a group of paparazzi chased her and she fled into the bathroom. I covered for her and drove the paparazzi out on the pretext of secretly taking photos of her privacy to avoid exposing her whereabouts. That's all."
"After the incident, I didn't notice the paparazzi. I guess the paparazzi didn't notice her either. At least, the paparazzi didn't take any photos of evidence."
In just a few words, Gao Wen summarized the thrilling events.
Tobias' mouth was big enough to fit an egg. "Gawain, you should know that even if they don't have evidence, it doesn't mean they can dispel their doubts, right? For the next period of time, they will definitely keep a close eye on the two of you and try to dig out some gossip."
"I know, believe me, I know." Gawain nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"So, it was really unexpected that she showed up in the hotel lobby. But if I didn't show up, it would seem guilty. I might as well go downstairs and take a look. Maybe I'll be photographed, or maybe not. At least, I should put an end to this matter. From now on, there should be no intersection between her and me."
The subtext is that the problem should be solved from the root. Even if the paparazzi follow closely, as long as they have no intersection, the paparazzi will not be able to take pictures of anything.
Tobias thought about it seriously, "Gawain, are you sure Jennifer doesn't have a crush on you?"
Gawain burst out laughing, "Yes, I'm sure."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Tobias was skeptical.
Gawain could sense Tobias's expression, so he thought about it carefully. Apparently, since their first meeting, every encounter between them was full of bumps and bumps, either accidents or conflicts. There wasn't even time to calm down and have a good conversation, let alone sparks.
"Yes, I'm sure. John, we're not in a Hollywood movie. Love is in the air. Believe me, if there were a camera, I would have been able to sense it."
Seeing Gawain still in the mood to joke, Tobias couldn't help but chuckle.
Finally, Gao Wen went downstairs.
Originally, Tobias was going to accompany Gawain downstairs to avoid suspicion in the presence of a large crowd; but as a manager, he had a special status, and if he was photographed, the paparazzi would say that the manager was escorting him, or that the manager's appearance was a cover-up, which might lead to a lot of speculation.
Therefore, it would be better for Gao Wen to meet openly and honorably. There is no need to hide anything in public.
From a distance, one could see Lawrence sitting quietly on the sofa in the middle of the lobby. He looked less cheerful and lively, and revealed a bit of youthful fragility in the tiredness and silence of the night. He seemed to be deeply lost in his own thoughts and unable to extricate himself.
Gawain walked to the sofa area, took a look, and walked towards the single sofa diagonally opposite Lawrence.
Lawrence noticed Gawain's figure and stood up suddenly. He was a little surprised and nervous. He subconsciously put his hair behind his ears and glanced at Gawain. For a moment, he didn't know how to start talking.
Then, the two of them just remained standing like that, quietly.
