Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 295 Protecting Him?

Rena called Philip, "Hey, Philip, where've you been? Chloe told me you landed a role. What's it about? What kind of role needs my scarf as a prop? Hurry up and bring it back."

Rena had been keeping her job as Michael's assistant under wraps, only Chloe and a few others knew.

Of course, not many people were aware of her relationship with Michael either. If a celebrity's relationship goes public, it could wreck their career.

Philip was completely oblivious to Michael's stormy expression.

He kept bragging to Rena about his achievements that day. "Rena, guess whose role I got today? Michael's... Mic's! Isn't he your favorite?"

"Mic got hurt and is in the hospital. He asked me to play a gay character to support him."

"Mic even praised my acting skills, Rena. I'm so pumped!"

Philip's words caught Rena's attention. But when she found out Michael was injured, she got anxious. "Philip, which hospital are you at? Which room? How did Mic get hurt? Is it serious?"

Rena fired a barrage of questions at Philip. Listening through the phone, Michael felt his simmering resentment ease slightly upon hearing her obvious concern for him.

'That heartless girl,' he thought with grudging warmth, 'still knows how to worry about me after all.'

Philip gave Rena the address of Michael's hospital. Rena grabbed Chloe and rushed to the hospital.

When they saw the tiny wound on Michael's foot, Chloe and Rena were speechless.

Chloe crossed her arms and teased Michael, "Michael, this is a bit much. Rena said you were hurt, and we rushed here. I thought it was something serious, but..."
