The CEO’s Surrogate Wife

Chapter 613 Why is He the Male Protagonist

"I see that Miss Aileen has a problem with my decision," Richard says sarcastically.

Aileen is a nervous wreck, she hurriedly explains, "No, it was a misunderstanding. I was just pulling his legs, I wasn't judging your decision…"

Aileen is rambling and she feels like the more she tries to explain, the worse it gets.

"I see, well then, please prepare for the next scene," Richard's tone of voice is as calm as a cucumber, it doesn't contain any emotions.

Aileen feels complicated, but she can only brace herself and continues filming. But she is even more disheartened as the next scene is about her and Albert, she really doesn't want to have anything to do with Albert, especially not in front of Richard.

The scene is about the male and female protagonist meeting for the first time.

Aileen is in traditional clothing, she descends from above and meets a pack of "thieves".

She cleanly executes a right hook, a left kick and a roundhouse kick, not for long, the "thieves" are all on the floor squirming in pain. She isn't trained in martial art and the director just teaches her the moves, but she is able to perform it perfectly.

Aileen is ready to leave the "thieves" behind, suddenly Albert appears before her, also in traditional clothing, he smiles disdainfully and says, "Why did you hurt my people?"

He flicks his tattered hat as he says that.

"They deserve it," Aileen replies arrogantly, a fight breaks out. She is nimble but Albert is better, in the blink of an eye, she is held tightly in his embrace.

Aileen is unhappy, she stomps on his feet. Albert let go of her abruptly, they stumble onto each other and fall to the ground. Their lips touch each other.

"Cut!" yells the director, everyone applauds and they all smile as the scene is smoothly taken in one go.

Aileen rubs her mouth roughly in disdain, the thought of the accidental kiss disgusts her. She knows that it is all an act but she feels uncomfortable. On the other hand, Albert licks his lips longingly, this girl appeals to him.

Aileen looks around and doesn't see Richard anywhere, she sits down in front of the make-up table dejectedly, Albert comes up to her again.

"I'm a good partner, right?" Albert doesn't know that the female protagonist is her, he worked quite hard to get this role.

"I underestimate you back then, but your acting abilities have improved greatly," said Albert sincerely, he admires her hard work.

Aileen stays silent, she doesn't want to talk to him.

"Are you angry?" Albert teases her even though he knows that Aileen has bad mood swings.

"I don't want to talk to you," replies Aileen furiously.

"Did you forget what we did together the other night?" Albert still badgers her relentlessly, even after seeing how scornful she looks. His words are dubious, it might spread rumours if someone hears what he says.

Aileen is astonished upon hearing him, it all starts from that night. She never would've thought that she… The worst thing is, the incident is plastered all over the media. She is flustered and ashamed.

"We can go over it again if you happen to not remember about it. You were so captivating that night, very enticing," Albert displays a yearning expression.

Aileen feels like throwing up, she glares at Albert and hopes to beat him to death. But Richard suddenly appears, she then quickly let go of Albert's hand.

Albert smells something fishy, this woman changes her mood like she changes her clothes, her eyes are always unfocused, but they glow the moment Richard appears, she also looks shy and embarrassed. Does she like Richard? The thought of it makes his chest tightened.

"Richard…" says Aileen nervously, she doesn't know what to say and calls out his name by reflex.

"I see that you guys are getting along well in private," says Richard expressionlessly.

We do not get along! Aileen retorts in her head.

"Yeah, we do get along quite well," Albert stands up and puts his hand on her shoulder, forcing her to stand closer to him. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Aileen is very disgusted by his action, she frowns and tries to shove him away, but her strength is unmatched, "Mr. Richard, don't trust his nonsense, he's a stranger to me."

She doesn't want Richard to find out what happened between them, she harshly denies Albert and hopes that Richard doesn't misunderstand.

"Do your best at filming, I'm leaving as I have matters to attend to. Don't disappoint me," Richard's eyes are fixed on Aileen as he says that.

Aileen catches his gaze and feels happy. She is melting from happiness just from this subtle action from Richard, he is trying to encourage her!

Albert's face darkens as he looks at Aileen being so euphoric, he says, "He won't like you, stop daydreaming."

He throws cold water on her excitement.

"It's none of your business," Aileen responses haughtily.

"I'm just kindly reminding you."

"No need, just don't appear in front of me ever again and it's all good," says Aileen with her hands on her hips.

Albert isn't bothered by what she said, he just replies plainly, "No can do."

Aileen's eyes are wide open, he continues saying, "We'll be seeing each other quite often, I mean for filming. Don't forget that I'm your male protagonist," he says the last three words slowly, Aileen is as angry as a wasp.

She is reminded of the other night because of this man before her...
