Chapter 317: Chapter 317

As soon as Anna Thornton entered the restroom, she noticed Wyatt Jagger following her in and couldn’t help but frown.

"Can’t you read? This is the ladies’ room!"

Upon hearing this, Wyatt crossed his arms and lifted his chin to look at Anna, "I don’t need your reminder! Anna Thornton, you think just because you hired two bodyguards to follow you around, I won’t get a chance to settle scores with you?"

"Wyatt, I was just joking with you last time, and you’re still holding a grudge? The Great Actress Ford doesn’t like stingy men, you know." Anna kindly reminded him.

"Stop with your tricks!" Wyatt pretended not to be swayed by Anna, but he quickly emphasized, "I’m never a stingy person."

"Uh-huh, I can see that!" Anna nodded in agreement.

"Nobody has to mention the incident at the bar last time, and make sure your bodyguards are careful. I’m not going to hit you, nor am I going to flirt with you, so stop looking at me like I’m a thief every day."

"Of course they do! Just this morning, I ran into one of them in the men’s restroom. I don’t know what the deal was, but I was using the toilet, and he kept staring at me so much that I couldn’t pee."

It seems that to avoid another incident of not being able to pee due to staring, Wyatt specially came into the ladies’ room today to talk to Anna.

"Which bodyguard are you referring to?"

"The slightly chubby one!"

Wyatt must be talking about Mason King.

Although Anna had already confiscated Mason’s little notebook, he still had one in his head.

Anna suspected that the reason Mason was always staring at Wyatt was to observe his subtle moves and record them before reporting everything to Conrad Sterling.

The two were fired by Conrad and specifically placed by Anna’s side.

How could Anna not know about this?

But Mason King’s and Leo King’s skills are truly remarkable, having them as bodyguards made Anna very confident.

The photo of Anna entering the restroom with Wyatt was leaked, and the news headline was exactly what Angela Thornton had submitted.

At that time, Anna was filming a scene with Wyatt, and as the scene ended, Mary handed her a tablet displaying the news.

"No wonder I saw the crew staff whispering just now; turns out they were looking at this!"

"Anna, should we discuss how to respond?" Mary asked her, "Several media outlets have already called me."

"No need!" Anna thought this incident wouldn’t affect her, "He’s the one who went into the wrong restroom, not me! If he comes to pick a fight with me later, just tell him that."

On the other side, Wyatt quickly got the news and immediately came over to question Anna.

"Did you deliberately have someone take the photo to use me for hype?!"

Wyatt came to bother her without thinking things through, and Anna wasn’t interested in dealing with him.

However, Mary still explained to him, "Wyatt, look closely at this photo; it’s you following Anna into the restroom. How could we have known you’d dare to barge into the ladies’ room and prepared someone in advance to take pictures?"

Due to Wyatt always being not very polite to Anna and Mary, Mary didn’t want to be too attentive to him.

Anyway, the reasoning was explained clearly, and Wyatt could figure it out himself.

This was purely because of him, and he also implicated Anna.

Wyatt cleared his throat and immediately seemed less justified.

"Well... let’s discuss how to handle this. Just now, over a dozen media have bombarded my agent’s phone. I said before shooting that I didn’t want any scandals."

"Oh, that’s your problem!"

Wyatt understood Mary’s meaning, "You’re not going to cooperate with me to send out a statement?"

"It wasn’t Anna who went into the wrong restroom."

"Wyatt, I heard you’re pursuing Marilyn Ford. Now that rumors have spread between you and Anna, it’s surely not what you want. But you know Actress Ford used to be in the same company as Anna. When she left, things were a bit unpleasant with us, so we’re not speaking for your own good."

Mary, being an agent, couldn’t whimsically express her displeasure like Anna did.

Even if she had shut Wyatt up, she had to make amends immediately, acting as if they were really considering it for him.

"A single person’s clarification is more credible; two people would seem coordinated. Also, your response shouldn’t mention Anna, or else Marilyn Ford might not even open it.

Wyatt rubbed his nose and had to go back to discuss with his agent how to respond.

Mary made a good point; Wyatt couldn’t let Marilyn Ford be disappointed with him after seeing the news, so he had to be the earliest to clarify.

The idol drama leading man has an excellent PR team; this matter isn’t something they need to worry about.

After Wyatt left, Anna suddenly sat up looking around.

"Anna, what are you looking for?"

"Where’s Angela Thornton?"

"She didn’t seem to come today; I guess it’s like you said, the excitement lasted for three minutes. After shooting a couple of scenes, she found it boring and didn’t come anymore."

Anna estimated Angela would lose interest after three days.

Never expected her not to show up the second day.

They begged for two days, and she lost interest so quickly?

At noon that day, Wyatt proactively posted an explanation on Weibo.

He stated there wasn’t a rendezvous or romance; it was simply a restroom mix-up. He followed Anna’s silhouette, thought it was the men’s restroom, entered, realized it was wrong and left without lingering inside.

This idea definitely wasn’t his own but from Wyatt’s PR company.

Originally Wyatt didn’t even want to issue such a statement, thinking it made him look foolish and damaged his tall, handsome image in fans’ minds.

But the PR company advised him that a silly response would completely neutralize any gossip.

Besides, who forced him into the ladies’ room anyway; he went himself!

Wyatt feared being laughed at after clarifying, but there was no need to worry.

Because the public’s focus wasn’t on him at all; it was on Anna’s new drama look.

She could actually lead Wyatt to go to the wrong restroom? The silliness revealed professionalism.

This was Anna’s new drama’s first look reveal.

"Oh my god, the person in front was Anna; she actually cut her hair off?!!"

"Really didn’t recognize her!"

"I used to think Anna looked too aggressive, definitely would be limited in acting. Didn’t expect her men’s look to be so cute, makes me want to say ’I can!’ "

"Can’t wait for her and Wyatt to pair up as a CP; she led him to the wrong restroom. These two are so funny, they should just end up together."

"When exactly is this drama airing? I really want to watch it!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.ɴet

Unexpectedly, a bit of gossip turned into free advertising for the drama, which delighted the director.

Even, the crew specially opened a Weibo account to record the fun little matters on set, quickly gaining followers.

However, on the other side, it wasn’t as cheerful.

Conrad Sterling had just finished a business meeting when Marilyn Ford, seemingly having gathered information, appeared before him.
