Chapter 195: Chapter 195: The Guess Confirmed
"Warren, I, I..."
Leon stammered and couldn’t come up with a reason for a long time.
Warren glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "There’s three minutes until departure. I don’t want you to go to the photoshoot with something on your mind. If you don’t clarify, then you won’t be going this time."
Leon was startled, quickly saying, "I’ll talk, Warren, please don’t stop me from going."
Although the Stardust Team has many fans in the e-sports world, their number of fans has reached a bottleneck in recent months.
This shoot is a great opportunity for them to break through and expand their reach.
Moreover, if the Stardust Team is missing one person, then it wouldn’t be the Stardust Team, and fans would speculate whether there was internal conflict.
He doesn’t want to drag the whole team down because of himself, bringing a negative impact to the team.
"Then tell me, what’s going on? You’ve been absent-minded since the meeting began."
Leon showed a trace of embarrassment and could only lay out his situation.
It turns out his girlfriend called him before the meeting, as he was about to answer, the phone died.
And later, all their phones were collected; he had no chance to call back.
"So, you’re worried she won’t be able to reach you, and once you return, she’ll break up with you?"
Leon sheepishly nodded and said, "Yes, because we are in an online relationship, the emotional foundation isn’t as solid as typical couples, so I... I’m sorry, Warren, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t be thinking about all this chaos."
Warren nodded slightly.
"Right now, you should be focusing on your career, don’t be trapped by love and romance. Once you’ve progressed further in your career, won’t you have any kind of woman you want?"
Leon wanted to say it’s not like that; missing the person you like means missing them.
But as he was about to speak, seeing Warren’s face, which was indeed the same age as them but carried a natural aura of authority, Leon lost the confidence to argue.
He’s also afraid he might argue and implicate a few teammates.
"It’s my fault, Warren. Please forgive me this time, let me get on the bus with them, I promise I won’t think about anything chaotic anymore."
Warren’s intention wasn’t to make things difficult for Leon, hearing this, he also said "Hmm," and said, "It’s good that you’ve thought it through, go ahead! Our show can’t leak even a bit of information, if the news gets out, the promotional effect won’t meet our expectations."
"As for your girlfriend, just cut off contact for a while. If she truly cares for you, I think she’ll understand."
"If she can’t understand, then it means she’s not the right one for you."
Leon replied with difficulty, "...Yes."
"Go on!"
Warren stretched out his hand and patted Leon’s shoulder, indicating encouragement.
Leon tugged at his lips, just as he was about to head out, he suddenly remembered something and took out two packages of tea bags from his bag.
"Warren, last time when I made tea for you, you thought it was pretty good. I still have two packs left, and I can’t take them with me, so I’m giving them to you, just don’t mind."
Warren was about to take them when he suddenly noticed the dried passionfruit in the transparent bag, his eyes instantly focused.
He suddenly thought of an unbelievable coincidence, his throat rolled up and down, asking, "Where did you get this dried fruit?"
"I didn’t buy it, it’s from my girlfriend. She made it herself. If you don’t like it, then I’ll give it..."
"No."
Warren interrupted Leon and said, "It’s not that I don’t like it."
"Then you are...?"
Warren looked deeply at Leon, asking, "You said your girlfriend is from an online relationship?"
"Yeah, what’s wrong?"
"If it’s an online relationship, do you know her full name?"
"I don’t know her full name, I just call her Ariana."
Ariana...
Ariana Grant...
Warren’s suspicion was halfway verified.
"Have you seen her before?"
"No."
"Does she know your identity?"
"No, we met playing games, she always thought I was unemployed. She’s rather timid, I was afraid to scare her, so I haven’t told her until now."
"So she doesn’t know who you are at all?"
Leon was increasingly puzzled by Warren’s questioning.
Warren’s current situation was like an identity check, but... why?
When signing the contract, it did not state that they were not allowed to date.
Especially since this was an online relationship, it couldn’t possibly be caught on camera.
"Hmm, she doesn’t know my name or appearance, let alone my profession. But, Warren, why are you... suddenly asking about this?"
"No reason."
Warren curved his lips into a smile, a smile that was rather meaningful.
Leon only felt chills down his back.
Warren was intimidating when not smiling, but even more intimidating when smiling!
"Warren, I really..."
"Alright, it’s nothing." Warren directly interrupted him, once again stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder saying, "Get on the bus first, everyone’s waiting for you. As for your girlfriend, I can’t reveal too much to you, but rest assured, just concentrate on going, return safely, and I’ll ensure you ’peace at home’."
Leon suddenly looked up at Warren.
"Warren, do you know my girlfriend Ariana?"
Warren neither nodded nor shook his head, only said, "Time’s about up, you should set off. Remember to perform well for your girlfriend, she’ll definitely be watching you on the screen."
Leon’s heart suddenly thumped, inexplicably excited.
"Yes!"
Having said that, Leon no longer tarried, under the protection of bodyguards outside the building, quickly dashed through a crowd of fans and got on the bus.
The fans only felt a gust of wind, and in the blink of an eye, Leon was gone, feeling a sudden sense of loss.
"So fast... I didn’t even get to take a photo of him."
"Men being too fast isn’t good, I hope The Wolves are slower in other aspects."
"The Wolves have a high nose, I heard guys with high noses are also quite capable in certain aspects. I’m so envious of his future girlfriend..."
"What nonsense, The Wolves belong to everyone."
"I didn’t say The Wolves couldn’t belong to everyone, I was just joking, wasn’t I?"
The girls were just as bold as the boys when joking around.
But as the bus left, the fans slowly dispersed.
Only a few girls still intensely looked through the revolving glass door at Warren inside.
Meanwhile, Warren dialed the phone at the old mansion.
Butler Prescott answered the call.
"Has the guest arrived?"
"Yes."
"Hmm, then let my mother know that I’ve finished work early, I can come home for dinner."
The Butler Prescott was suddenly delighted and said, "Yes! I’ll go tell Madam."
"Hmm."
Warren hung up the phone, raised his hand to call Assistant Lowell.
"Make a call to Ashley Shaw, and ask if they’ve left yet."
"Yes."
Assistant Lowell replied, called Ashley Shaw.
Ashley answered quickly, and Assistant Lowell vaguely heard the wind blowing.
