Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 389

This hoo-ha soon died down once it was resolved.

Suzy was fired and naturally, the filming of the show could no longer be completed in time.

The third female lead had to be replaced and because casting took time, the schedule could not be confirmed yet.

Feeling anxious about this matter, Lucy frowned.

Nevertheless, she hardly had time to think about this as Joel took her away as soon as this issue was settled.

When Joel led her away, everybody noticed the fiery wrath in his eyes and Lucy felt that she was about to be engulfed in the flames.

However, the man held a tight grip on her arm that she could not break free.

By the time they were in the car, Lucy broke free from his grasp while panting. She asked irritably, “What’s the meaning of this?”

Joel scoffed and commanded the chauffeur, “Drive to the hospital.”

Lucy was stunned.

“Why the hospital? My arm is bandaged and it’s just a small wound.”

Yet, no one listened to her. After a while, the chauffeur had brought them to a private hospital in the vicinity.

With that, Joel dragged Lucy out of the car and sent her to the doctor.

“Check the wound on her arm and give her a tetanus shot.”

The hospital was owned by the Fosters, so the doctor recognized Joel.

As soon as he heard Joel’s orders, he nodded his head. “Yes, Second Young Master. Don’t worry, I’ll bring her in now.”

Then, he led Lucy away.

Before Lucy could react, she was taken into a room and made to sit down on a chair.

Following that, two doctors removed the bandage on her arm swiftly and reapplied medicine on the wound while a nurse got a tetanus shot ready.

The petite Lucy sat still in the center of the room while the medical staff fussed about her. For the first time in her life, she realized that she had been cast into the spotlight.

However, she found this place to be somewhat bizarre.

Lucy was a bit puzzled. She looked at Joel, who was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed, and chuckled. “I just think you’re overreacting. It isn’t that serious and there’s no need for a tetanus shot. Besides, the doctor at the film set has treated my wound. Aren’t you asking for trouble by having it treated again?”

Joel smiled coldly. “Stop flattering yourself. I was just being ethical and I’m worried that your arm will be messed up, that’s why I got the staff to examine you again.”

‘After all, I don’t know how competent the doctor at the film set is. Things will get even more complicated if he’s incompetent.’

Nonetheless, he did not reveal this thought to Lucy.

With a sigh, Lucy allowed the medical staff to treat her.

Half an hour later, the work was done. She asked the doctor, “How is it? Am I ok?”

The doctor grinned. “Everything’s fine, Miss. Although the wound looks serious, it’s just a flesh wound. Make sure it doesn’t come into contact with water for these few days and have a good rest.”

Lucy nodded.

Then, she turned towards the man at the doorway and gave him a “told you I’m fine” look.

Joel turned his head aside, ignoring her.

Unbeknownst to Lucy, he was berating her in silence.

‘Stupid woman, you don’t know what’s best for you!’

Very soon, Lucy’s wound had been re-examined and treated once more. She massaged her arm as she stood up and thought to herself, ‘Joel might be a bit rough around the edges, but he has a heart of gold.’

At least, he cared for her.

She sensed a warm, fuzzy feeling in her heart. However, at the same time, he dragged her to the payment counter.

“Pay up.”

“What?”

Lucy was surprised.

She turned to regard him with an extremely hostile gaze.

“Joel, just be honest. What do you want? Why do I feel like you have a bone to pick with me?”

God knew that she was in desperate need of money, yet this fellow kicked Suzy out at this time so the filming could not be completed on time. As a result, she could not get paid.

Whenever this came to her mind, Lucy was filled with rage.

Though she knew that Joel had done that to help her.

Still, she believed that this man had other intentions.

Joel raised his eyebrows and a guilty expression flashed across his face.

“I don’t have a bone to pick with you! You… You take my kindness for ill intent. I was just trying to help you, seeing as how close we were when we were kids, and you assume I’m attracted to you.”

He was not honest with himself when he uttered those words.

However, Lucy was not interested in arguing with him anymore.

“Fine, no matter what intentions you harbor, please keep your distance from me. I’m heading back to the film set, see you later!”

After that, she corrected herself viciously, “No, I meant, see you later. Not!”

Then, she hailed a cab and departed.

Joel puffed his cheeks in anger as he watched the car sped away.

He kicked a stone on the road towards the grass and snarled, “Ungrateful b*tch!”

Due to Lucy’s injury, the third female lead had to be recast. Hence, filming was halted temporarily and the crew had to take a few days off.

Unexpectedly, something occurred on the first day of their leave.

A popular, verified account on the internet leaked several photos.

The photos showed a corridor in a large entertainment center, where a pot-bellied man could be seen wrapping his arms around a young woman.
