Chapter 379
Zola walked into the washroom.
She was a little irritable.
She looked at herself in the mirror. There wasn’t much makeup on her face.
She did not like to put on makeup in private. After all, every time she went on stage, she had a lot of makeup on. She liked to not use any makeup when she was off-stage.
Zola thought. “Why does that director have his eyes on me? I am not the most beautiful or the most talkative among the actresses tonight. Is it because I don’t have any connections?”
Zola washed her face with cold water.
She knew very well if she turned him down tonight, he would make her leave the show the next round.
Additionally, this might have a profound influence on her career in the future. She might lose a lot of opportunities because
of it.
However, she didn’t want to take this step.
Ever since she stepped into the entertainment industry, she never wanted to take this path.
In the past, she never had to do it because she had people to rely on, no matter whether they actually gave her a hand or not.
However, she had lost that support.
Zola was struggling.
She felt that she would regret no matter what decision she made
She locked herself in the bathroom for half an hour.
If someone didn’t knock on the door, she might keep staying in there.
Zola took a deep breath and opened the door. When she saw the person at the door, she was stunned for a moment.
Then, she walked past him.
“Let me give you a ride home,” Leopold said.
He sounded like he wouldn’t take no for an answer.
“That’s okay. If you want to leave, you should go,” Zola rejected.
“Have you forgotten how you were last time you got drunk?” Leopold asked.
Zola said, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
Zola wanted to leave after she said that.
However, Leopold suddenly grabbed her arm.
Zola frowned and looked back at him. I said, I’m not going home!”

Chapter 379
She had made up her mind. She would mess around with that director first. She wanted to try to get him drunk, so he wouldn’t be able to do anything afterward.
After all, she was not in a position to refuse him directly.
Leopold said coldly, “Don’t force yourself.”
“That’s my business. It has nothing to do with you.” Zola wanted to shake Leopold off.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get rid of him.
She never knew he was this strong-
I can help you deal with what you’re worried about. You should go home now,” Leopold said.
Zola was slightly stunned.
She was surprised to find out that Leopold knew what was happening between her and that director.

She suddenly chuckled and said sarcastically. “How are you going to help me deal with it? Are you going to tell that director that I have turned him down, then make me lose my career?”
Leopold said. “Trust me, I can help with your career.”
“Trust you?” Zola smiled. To be honest, Leopold, I can trust anyone but you.”
Leopold’s expression turned ugly.
Zola said, “I had a lot of hope for you in the past, but every time it ended in disappointment. Tell me, Leopold, how can I trust you again? After you kissed me that one time, you went to kiss another woman the next day. After you had sex with me, you disappeared immediately. Leopold, do you want to play me again?”
Leopold said, “Zola…”
Zola interrupted him. “Forget it. They are behind me now. After I returned to the entertainment industry, I didn’t want to meet you again. I also don’t need your sympathy. I just want to have a normal life. I hope you can leave me alone.”
Zola used all her strength to shake off Leopold’s hand.
Leopold was leaning on his walking stick. After being pushed by Zola, he took a couple of steps back.
Then, Zola left without looking back.
Leopold’s grip on the walking stick tightened as he watched her leave.
Eventually, he chose to remain silent.
Zola returned to the private room.
The director was clearly getting impatient.
Some actors came to talk to him. Zola had to sit next to them.
After the director finished talking with them, Zola returned to his side.
The director asked, “What took you so long?”
“I bumped into Mr. Cavanaugh and chatted with him for a while Zola casually s

Chapter 379
He deliberately said, “Actresses all like Leopold. Of course, He is handsome and talented. You will never pay attention to people like me.”
Zola said, “Director, you must be joking. You are famous in the industry for your talent. Many female celebrities are attracted to you.”
The director asked boldly, “Does that include you?”
“Of course Zola poured the wine into a glass and handed it to the director.
He took it from Zola’s hand. At that moment, he deliberately touched her hand again.
Zola covered her disgust with her laugh.
Just as she was about to pull her hand away and make the director drink, she saw Leopold walk over.
Before Zola was able to do anything, the director quickly let go of her hand and greeted Leopold. “Mr. Cavanaugh, sit.”
Leopold sat between the director and Zola.
Zola moved to the side because Leopold sat down and his body touched her leg.
“Did I interrupt you two?” Leopold asked.
The director said, ‘Of course not. Let’s drink together. Then he said to Zola, “Zola, pour Mr. Cavanaugh a glass of wine.”
Okay.” Zola got up and poured the wine into two glasses. She gave one to the director and the other to Leopold.
The director instructed Zola, “Why don’t you pour yourself a glass? Mr. Cavanaugh specifically came to drink with us.”
Zola poured herself some and said. “To you and Mr. Cavanaugh
Then, she finished her drink.
“Although you said you can’t drink much, I think you are pretty good at drinking. The director praised her as he drank.
Leopold, of course, downed his glass.
“Zola, you have to toast Mr. Cavanaugh individually. If it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t be sitting here drinking with us,” the director deliberately said.
Zola did not refuse.
She knew that Leopold was the only reason that she was able to stay in this show.
She never found a chance to thank him. She also didn’t know how to thank him.
Now was the perfect time to do that.
She filled her glass up and filled Leopold’s glass half full.
“Mr. Cavanaugh, here’s a toast to you. Thank you for your trust in me.” As she spoke, she finished her drink.
Leopold glanced at her and also finished the wine in his glass
The director said, “That’s not nearly enough. Since Mr. Cavanaugh favors you, you should drink some more…”.
“Enough” Leopold grabbed Zola’s hand and stopped her from pouring the wine.

She immediately pulled out her hand from Leopold’s grip,
Leopold felt awkward.
He said calmly, “We still have a rehearsal tomorrow. Don’t drink too much.”
