Chapter 1059: The Beautiful Talira, the Ultimate Temptation
"If that's the case, it seems that Talira was also involved in the casting for the film adaptation of 'The Twelve Evils.' I wonder what the final result will be..."
Some people's eyes turned to the woman on the far side.
Xiao He also looked over.
She was a beautiful woman wearing a white casual suit, with slightly wavy medium-length hair. Her bright red hair made her stand out even among the crowd, her fair complexion glowing. Her excellent facial features were like a masterpiece sculpted by God, so perfect that she didn't seem real. Even her emerald green eyes were like deep, dark pools, alluring yet dangerous, as if hiding unknown secrets.
Elegant, mysterious, mature, intellectual...
These were Xiao He's first impressions of this woman.
It's hard for anyone to feel disgusted by such a woman.
After all, beauty is an indisputable calling card; people can automatically read this information from the first glance they meet.
However, there are some things that beauty cannot conceal.
Xiao He stared intently at the person in front of him, sniffed, and remained silent for a long time.
In the end, it was the other person who broke the ice first, taking the initiative to come over and greet Xiao He.
"Hello, Xiao He, I am Talira Emil."
The woman first brushed aside the stray hairs that had fallen beside her ear, then raised her hand and clasped Xiao He's hand.
—When their eyes met, his dark green eyes were full of ambition, and his smile was perfect and sweet.
At the same time, Xiao He could clearly feel that the other person subtly scratched his palm when they clasped hands.
It was like flirtatious banter, or teasing teasing, full of charm and allure completely different from her face.
But in that instant, Xiao He had a sudden, chilling sensation, as if he had been electrocuted, and his body instinctively reacted with resistance.
If Xiao He hadn't still retained some rationality and managed to stiffen his body, he really would have wanted to immediately slap away Talira's hand in front of everyone.
However, this is not the end.
The moment Xiao He froze, Talira seemed to have misjudged his inner reaction. Thinking that her actions had successfully brought her closer to Xiao He, she took the initiative to move closer again, just like Lia had done earlier, wanting to hug Xiao He.
"Actually, I just got a job interview not long ago, and I was really looking forward to working with you, Xiao He. After all, I'm a fan of yours, and I've been following you ever since 'Law of the Jungle'..."
However, her attempt failed, and Talila even stopped mid-sentence—
At that moment, no one around could clearly see how Xiao He moved.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao He instantly appeared next to Mo Wensi.
"Um?"
Movens glanced at Xiao He beside him, then at Talila a few steps away, scratching his head in confusion.
Was Xiao He standing here just now?
Why does it feel like Xiao He's position changed when I glanced at him just now?
Even Talila looked at Xiao He with some surprise.
Facing the people around him, Xiao He simply raised his finger, which looked rather uncomfortable, and covered his nose. Then, he nodded apologetically to everyone and said, "Sorry, my rhinitis seems to have flared up. I'm not feeling too well, so I'll have to go now. See you again if there's a chance."
"Has Xiao He left already?"
Lia was somewhat surprised and regretful.
Movens immediately added, "We'll be having parties these next few nights, Xiao He, you..."
"Let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later."
Xiao He waved hastily, looking genuinely distressed, and then quickly left the scene.
Everyone was left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"When I arrived today, I heard that a Chinese actor had come to the hotel this time, and that he was very well-received. Sure enough, it was him."
One of the actors immediately lost his smile, crossed his arms, and sneered.
This person is an actor from Shield Screen Pictures.
Then another actor from the Shield Curtain mocked, "Don't let his big entourage fool you, he's a complete idiot. He just shook hands with Talila, and he reacted so strongly, hahaha, he was probably afraid of embarrassing himself, so he ran away first!"
Immediately, everyone burst into laughter, as if the harmony they had just displayed was all fake.
After all, the Shield Screen... is notorious for its anti-Chinese sentiment from top to bottom.
Being able to put on a show in front of Xiao He was already the limit.
Lia frowned slightly, glanced at the group of people over there, and seemed about to say something, but Morvens pressed down on her shoulder.
The two have known each other for over ten years and have always had a good relationship, having worked together for many years.
So when Morvens shook his head at Leah, Leah didn't say anything more. She just pursed her lips and said, "You guys talk first. I have something to do, so I'm leaving."
Morvens immediately responded, "I'll go with Leah too."
Meanwhile, Talira, who hadn't joined in the mockery from the beginning, simply straightened her sleeves and nodded to them, saying, "I'll be going now too, sorry everyone."
The three people then left one after another, leaving the others standing there exchanging glances.
-
Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he walked to the open-air balcony of the second-floor area.
He waved the air in front of him, and only then did he finally feel a little better.
"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao!"
Zhou Junhao suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the distance.
"Hey, Brother Xiao, why don't you chat with them a little longer?"
Zhou Junhao shook his glasses. "I saw it all from the second floor! I never imagined Hollywood actresses were this beautiful in real life!"
Xiao He: "Where did you come from?"
"I've been on the second floor the whole time."
Zhou Junhao pointed in a direction, "That location offers a view of the lobby entrance, making it easier to observe guests coming and going."
Unexpectedly, the floor-to-ceiling windows on the other side offered a direct view of the entertainment area on the other side.
Zhou Junhao thus witnessed the entire process of Xiao He interacting and communicating with those Hollywood actors.
Upon hearing Zhou Junhao's words and recalling his earlier teasing, Xiao He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"I want to talk a little longer, but I just can't take it anymore."
Moreover—
Xiao He opened his palm and looked at his hand. Even now, he could still feel the coolness in his palm, as if it had been licked by a poisonous snake.
Seeing Xiao He's serious expression, Zhou Junhao belatedly stopped smiling and also became serious: "Brother Xiao, you made contact with them, did you find anything?"
They've been under observation lately, and this time it seems like they took the initiative. Xiao He took the opportunity to probe and see what tricks the Shield Curtain was up to.
The result was unexpected—
“Talila Emil...”
Xiao He murmured softly.
Zhou Junhao immediately flipped through his profile: "She became a breakout star last year with the lead role in 'Otherworldly Wonderland,' and this film also helped Shield Screen recover the losses from the 'Twelve Evils' movie version last year. She's considered one of Shield Screen's key new actresses right now, and there were rumors earlier this year that she would be the lead actress in the web series version of 'Twelve Evils,' and also..."
"She smells terrible."
Xiao He frowned and interrupted Zhou Junhao.
"And also... um? What did you say, Brother Xiao?"
Zhou Junhao almost didn't hear Xiao He's words clearly.
"I mean—pay more attention to her, but don't get too close."
Xiao He rubbed the bridge of his nose, remained silent for a long time, then lowered his hand and said to Zhou Junhao earnestly:
"And she really smells bad."
Such a distinctive scent suggests that this kind of creature is not to be trifled with.
