Bumpkin's Rich Handsome Husband

It might just be another requirement of the occupation, but it wasn’t something notable families could

accept.

It was normal for Sean to have reservations about this.

But what Veronica didn’t know was that Sean signing a one-year contract with her, and not interfering

with anything else she did, was not Sean’s intention. It was Matthew who wanted this for her.

How would Sean have the courage to sign a long-term contract with her when Matthew had personally

called him for a ‘friendly greeting’?

Maybe if he didn’t want Starshine anymore, that was!

“It’s rather late. You can go to the set tomorrow to film this scene.” After Johansson finished speaking,

he suddenly remembered that Veronica had to work. “Do you have the time?” he added.

He had already asked her about the contract she signed with Starshine Media Agency after the long

chat they had.

Naturally, he felt at ease about his collaboration with her after confirming that her contracted company

would not interfere with her other matters. Not only that, she had even showered Starshine in praise,

saying that it was a legitimate company.

“I have time tomorrow.” Veronica nodded quickly, unable to hide her excitement.

When everything was wrapped up, Larry and Stephen invited Veronica for a meal together again. The

three then went to a sushi restaurant, where they found the most quiet corner to sit in.

Because they all wore masks and were dressed casually and kept a low profile, they didn’t attract any

attention from the people around them.

They happily conversed, and it was 9.30PM when they left.

Larry, who suddenly remembered that Veronica hadn’t driven herself to the filming location, offered

then, “It is late. Let me send you home.”

“There’s no need for that. I can just get a cab.” She then gave a roundabout excuse for her rejection. “It

is more convenient for me to use a cab, anyway.”

It would take half an hour to drive to her apartment from here, which meant that it would be past 10PM

by the time Larry rushed back to the hotel.

She was worried that him getting insufficient rest so late at night would affect his filming tomorrow.

More importantly, Larry was no ordinary person. Veronica could only imagine the kind of false rumors

that would spread tomorrow if he was photographed sending her back to the apartment.

“It is so unlike you to be so wishy-washy, Demoness.” Larry was dressed in casual clothes, and had a

black cap and a mask on as he stood beside her when he reached out and patted her on the head.

“Hop in quickly. We would have reached your place by now if we didn’t spend time listening to all this

nonsense.”

He then turned to Stephen and said, “Let’s go, Stephen. Let’s send her home together before we return

to the crew.”

“That is a good idea,” Stephen readily agreed.

Finding it hard to refuse their kindness, Veronica had no choice but to get into Larry’s car. However,

instead of giving him her apartment’s address, she made a different request. “Please send me to

Westcross Children Hospital. A friend of mine just gave birth. I have to keep her company for a while.”

“Alright.”

Larry then started the engine of the sedan, turned on the GPS, and went straight to the destination.

“Veronica, feel free to ask me if you have anything you don’t understand.” Stephen, who sat in the back

seat, offered to help Veronica, who was currently seated in the passenger seat.

He realized that his interest in her had been piqued, though the time he spent with her was short.

With how they could happily talk about common topics and hobbies, it somehow made him regret

knowing her too late.

“Oh, okay. I—”

Veronica was just about to reply to him when Larry suddenly interrupted, “What are you calling her

Veronica for? Demoness sounds much better.”

“Demoness? That doesn’t sound very nice, does it?” Amused by Larry, Stephen let a handsome and

sultry grin show on his face while flashing his row of white teeth.

“It’s her nickname. It doesn’t sound bad at all!” Larry rebutted in all seriousness.

He then looked through the rearview mirror to glance at Stephen before he himself started to laugh

cheerfully.

This playful side of his was the exact opposite of the cold, ruthless image he portrayed on screen.

Veronica couldn’t get used to the contrast, and so she teasingly asked, “Do you think your fans will

regret liking you if they knew what a goofball you are?”

Because of how cold he looked when he was his serious self, most of the roles he was offered were of

domineering presidents and the like.

He had also attracted numerous fans because of his extreme good looks and talent in acting.

“I don’t care about that,” Larry answered her as he drove with both hands on the steering wheel.

“Do I look like I would believe that? If you really don’t care, why do you keep such a low profile when

that personality of yours would inevitably attract the attention of ladies?”

After seeing the many entertainment news, Veronica had come to understand that the charismatic

characters on the screen were completely different from how the celebrities were in private.

A lot of stars were intentionally ‘selling’ a false image to the public.

In recent years, many top stars had their true personality revealed due to the continuous exposure by

the media. Even those who went to prison for drug offenses, and those with problematic private lives

were all blacklisted from the industry.

She had seen Larry on TV before, and she had thought then that it must have been hard for him to still

maintain his public image when his true personality was polar opposites with his image to the world.

“I am not interested in those women.” Larry sighed. “Most of them have bad intentions. It is not easy to

find someone as dumb as you, so what is the point of keeping in contact with them? I will only end up

on the losing end eventually.”
