Chapter 125 All Misunderstandings

Michael had managed to pull himself together, despite the throbbing pain in his back from Chloe's assault. He motioned for the man who had just gotten into the car to step

out.

"Hey, it's all just a big misunderstanding," he said, trying to sound calm.

"Mr. Martin, do you know her?" the man who had come to protect Michael asked, still looking a bit uneasy.

Michael scratched his head. "Know her? Yeah, I know her. We're pretty close..."

Chloe, hearing Michael's words, crossed her arms and pouted defiantly. "So what if we're close? Michael, I'm telling you, no matter how close we are, I won't just stand by and watch you bully a young girl."

Michael's frustration was evident as he pointed to his costume and questioned Chloe, "Bully a young girl? When did I do that? I came here to shoot a scene and got beaten up by you. What did I do to deserve this?"

As Michael pleaded his case, Chloe finally took a look around outside the trailer.

There were about a dozen people, some with cameras, some with audio equipment, and others carrying props. In the time it took her to beat someone up, the whole scene had changed.

Chloe began to feel that maybe today's incident was indeed a misunderstanding.

Chloe's words left Michael speechless.
