Chapter 542 Better Be Him Than Others
"Looks like I didn’t need to lift a finger, fate’s on my side," Xavier said with a smug grin. "My schedule just cleared up because my project got suspended due to a location rights issue. Filming’s been put on hold."
By the end of his sentence, he was grinning like a cat that had just swiped a fish from the dog’s bowl.
He glanced at Rafael, who now wore a deep frown. Rafael wanted to argue, especially since he was all about the money.
He should be celebrating—this was a better opportunity for Xavier, one that would bring in more income.
But instead, he was torn. The thought of Xavier getting closer to Hera made him uneasy, and his conflicted feelings were evident on his face.
Xavier chuckled, clearly pleased. "Let’s go together, alright? I need to inform the director too."
"Okay..." Hera smiled sweetly at Xavier before returning to her meal. Seeing how easily Hera agreed to go with Xavier, Rafael decided not to push the matter further.
He understood that he couldn’t control who Hera interacted with, especially in the context of acting.
There would be times when she’d need to portray intimacy with male co-stars—perhaps even kiss or perform bed scenes.
But, in his mind, it was better for her to be with Xavier than anyone else.
At least with him by her side, no one would dare cross any boundaries with Hera, besides, Xavier was already one with them, so, Hera’s intimacy with Xavier would still happen one way or another.
