Chapter 15 Vincenzo, the childish ghost

*************************

Once back at the magazine office, Lilian's good friend and receptionist, Judy TaylorZhuyi Yi, eagerly gestured to Lilian, wiggling her eyebrows. "Your Uuncle has been waiting for you all morning. He wants you to go to his office as soon as you come back. He doesn't look too happy!"

Lilian's heart sank. Ever since she fell from grace during junior high, her uncle had been playing the role of a father figure. Although he loved her, he never spoiled her. She hadn't come home for several nights this time, and he must be worried.

Inside her handbag was the key to the Lombardi family villa that Vincenzo had given her.

*She needed to come up with a foolproof excuse.**..*

After contemplating for a while, Lilian finally pushed open the office door.

Her Uuncle, Edwin Calvin, who had a plump figure, was sitting in the boss chair, wearing a tired expression. When he saw her enter, his tone was both worried and accusatory. "Where have you been these past few days? Running around for news without coming home? Are you hiding something from your uncleme?"

*Her heart froze. Did she seem like she was hiding something?*

"There's a big news...," Lilian smiled pleasingly as she sat down. "I got the scoop on Yoo-na's new drama last night. There's a fully nude scene of full nudity today, and I'm planning on sneaking in to see if I can snap some photos."

As soon as he heard there was big news, Edwin's eyes instantly lit up, but then he became serious again, saying, "Let someone else cover it. You haven't had a good rest these past few nights, go home and get some sleep."

She also wanted to get a good night's sleep...

*If someone else covered this news, her identity as a mistress would be exposed, wouldn't it?*

"ActuallyIn fact, Uncle, for the sake of convenience, and so I can move around more easily in my work, I rented a house outside. I was worried you wouldn't agree, so I didn't mention it... It's very close to the center of the city center, much better than our small house." Lilian managed to squeeze out a sincere expression, trying hard to persuade her uncle.

"Isn't her identity as a mistress revealed? Actually, Uncle, for the sake of convenience, I rented a house outside so that I can do things more easily. I was worried that you wouldn't agree, so I didn't say anything... It's very close to the city center, better than the small house at home." Lilian squeezed out a sincere expression, trying hard to persuade her uncle.

"Renting a house outside? How can that be? It's not safe for a young girl to be alone outside of our family home. Hurry up and give it upget rid of it!" Edwin stood up excitedlyimpatiently.

"Uncle, I'm already an adult. I know how to protect myself. I need to I'll go and take care of some news right nowfirst, okay? Bye, see you later!" Without waiting for Edwin he Uncle to say anything, Lilian quickly got up and ran out. Her uncle was a good-tempered man, and getting a house shouldn't make him angry for too long.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lilian was promptly sent to the film and television city studio by Vincenzo's driver.

This film and television city studio waswere the largest in the entire province and belonged in the Lombardi family to hide their more lucrative business in the backto E.S group. As soon as she entered, she saw actors in costumes walking around everywhere...

It was apparent that Iinside the studio they spared no expense when it came to buildingthat was built at a great cost...

Yoo-na, with fair skin, was sitting at the bedside wearing only a white gown. Her waist-length black hair was like a black waterfall, and her eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Her eyes were filled with tears as she slowly pulled down the white veil on her shoulders, revealing her beautiful curves in front of the camera, captivating everyone's attention.

Yoo-na was a professional actress, who even did nude scenes without hesitation, allowing people to admire her openly.

However, there was no media present, only Lilian silently taking photos with her DSLR camera, and no one objected...

"OK! Cut! Yoo-na, take a break and get ready for the next scene." The director with a stubble shouted.

*Lilian stood in the corner, looking at the photos in her camera. Which one would be better for the cover of the next issue of the magazine? The one in the white gown or the one without it?*

Suddenly, a woman's alluring and mature voice sounded in her ear, "Have you spent a few nights with Jue FengVincenzo?"

Lilian raised her head in astonishment and saw Yoo-na, the leading actress, standing in front of her. She was wearing a thin coat over her delicate white veil, and her eyes were looking at Lilian with a provocative and mocking gaze.

At such a close distance, Lilian noticed that the so-called lady had an unbelievably thick layer of makeup on her face, almost like a white mask. Her eye makeup was especially exaggerated.

*What did she just ask? *

*Spent a few nights with **Jue Feng**Vincenzo**?*

"What do you mean?" Lilian frowned and asked.

She wasn't foolish enough to not sense the contemptdisdain and provocationaggravation in Yoo-na's tone. Obviously, she wasn't here to greet her Lilian nicely.

Yoo-na took a long, slender cigarette from her assistant and lit it, sneering, "AK Magazine, right? If it wasn't for Jue FengVincenzo personally speaking up, how can a third-rate magazine like yours keep up with my news?"

Lilian instantly lost any good impression she had of the innocent lady image Yoo-na portrayed on the screen.

No wonder they say actors have two faces, one on stage and one off. Yoo-na and Coco truly personify this.

*Does being a lady mean being a slut?!*

Seeing that Lilian ignored her, Yoo-na didn't mind either. Puffs of smoke came out from her cherry-red lips.

Lilian Yoo-na said to herself, "Take as many photos as possible, so that when you're kicked off the bed by Lord FengVincenzo, you can will only be able to take pictures of cats and dogs on the roadside."

...

*An unpleasant smell of smoke.*

The smoke from the cigarettes drifted Lilian's way, causing her to turn her head slightly. After a moment, she coolly replied, "So Miss LiuMiss. Kim can only be compared to cats and dogs on the roadside.?"

Yoo-na's mature expression changed, and she reached out and pinched Lilian's face. "Based on my experience dating Lord FengVincenzo for a year before, I know that he won't be interested in a woman like you for too long."

*Yoo-na dated Vincenzo for a year?!*

Yoo-na's long and pointy nails made Lilian wince in pain.

Lilian pushed her hand away and took a step back, looking at her with disgust. "Miss LiuMiss. Kim, please show some respect."

"Mr. Lombardi is here..."

"Mr. Lombardi is here for an inspection, so let's all be on our best behavior!"

A commotion erupted as a group of staff members, led by the executive director, rushinged towards the door. Soon, Vincenzo's tall figure appeared in the midst of everyone's attention. He wasn't wearing a formal suit, but instead a long silver-gray coat that emphasized his tall stature.

"Did Mr. Lombardi, did you come to inspect the studio today? Or are you working in the ‘back’ of the house today? You should have let us know earlier and so that I could’ve picked you up."

"Mr. Lombardi, please have a seat."

"Mr. Lombardi, have you made plans for dinner with a beauty? Could you give us the honor of joining you?"

...

Vincenzo stood upright, his handsome face exhibiting a sense of aloofnessdetachment and arrogance. Despite everyone's constant compliments to the King, Vincenzo couldn't be bothered to even offer a smile, acting like a king on his high throne.

Suddenly, Vincenzo raised his eyes and looked in Lilian's direction.

With a sigh, Lilian wondered why this man would follow her even though she was just here to take a photos.

Lilian reluctantly squeezed out a smile and prepared to walk over. However, Yoo-na, by her side, suddenly put out her cigarette and called out in a sweet voice, "JuefengVincenzo."

Yoo-na directly threw herself into Vincenzo's arms in front of everyone, smoothly taking off her coat to reveal her graceful figure covered only by a flimsy white veil...

"So, you finally came to watch me act?" Yoo-na complained asked with a flirty tonecoquettishly, her delicate hands hanging on his shoulders.

Vincenzo smirked devilishly, lowered his head, and met her crimson lips. Yoo-na immediately kissed him, their French kiss lingering passionately.

Everyone silently looked at each other, not daring to disturb them.

So, he came to find Yoo-na. Lilian narrowly avoided making a fool of herself by walking over. She felt somewhat relieved.

Turning her attention back, Lilian lowered her head and played with her camera. Without using the flash, she silently took a photo of the two passionately kissing.

*What title should she give to these photos?*

*When ladies start undressing?*

*The **Mafia King of Asia**CEO of E.S Group* *having an affair with an actress under his rule?*

These titles would definitely cause a sensation, as soon as they went to press, ... Lilian thought excitedly. Lilian couldn’t help but curl her lips at the thought its potential.

Like this news causing a sensation as soon as it comes out, it couldn't help but curl its lips.

*Seeing him kissing another woman, she could still smile?!*
