Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 132 The Feeling of Being in Love

Roman’s words made Erin reflect on her actions seriously.

“Roman, I caused trouble for you this time. I’m sorry I didn’t listen to you in the beginning, and I interfered in matters that I shouldn’t have-

Seeing how guilty she seemed, Roman didn’t have it in him to reprimand her anymore.

He said. “This incident concerns Simon. He is Chandler’s cousin, and they’re pretty close. So, your intervention isn’t exactly out of place. However, if you happen to learn something about someone else’s personal matters in the future, don’t get involved. You’ll make enemies for yourself inadvertently if you’re not careful enough.”

After a slight pause, he added, “Moreover, the interpersonal relationships in the entertainment industry are very complex and delicate. You

don’t know what connections and influence the other party has behind them. There are no kind and trustworthy people here. Just maintaining a cordial relationship with everyone is already very challenging. Since you want to be an actress, you should know how to protect yourself first!”

Erin accepted Roman’s sensible advice humbly. He spoke like a strict older brother. His words were blunt and somewhat piercing, but he was evidently saying all that for her own good.

“Thank you, Roman. I’m indeed too impulsive when handling things.”

Erin regretted how she’d handled things when she thought about the incident with Megan. In fact, she could have anonymously sent the audio recording of Megan’s affair with Percival to Simon. That way, she herself would be spared from getting entangled in their mess.

She couldn’t help but admire Chandler’s intelligence. He’d admitted to her in her hotel room that he was the one who had sent her the videos of lan and Tracy. He even used some hacking techniques to make it anonymous, so even if Erin hired professionals to investigate, they wouldn’t be able to trace it back to him.

Roman patted her shoulder and said, “It’s okay, take your time. The entertainment industry will make you grow quickly.”

At 11 pm. Roman escorted Erin back to the hotel with Ken. After she returned to her hotel room, it didn’t take long for Matthew to come knocking on her door. As it was late, Erin didn’t open the door for fear of being spotted by the other crew members.

Instead, she sent Matthew a text message that said, “It’s too late now. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

Matthew stood at the door, read her message, and then left.

By the time Erin finished showering and drying her hair, it was already midnight. Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Chandler.

The moment the call connected, Chandler scolded, “Are you dumb, Erin? Why did you meddle in Simon’s affairs? I’m his cousin, and even I didn’t interfere.”
