Chapter 66 Can I Go In Now?

The following day, after Christopher finished washing up, the phone in his pocket began to ring. It was an unknown number, but he still chose to answer it. “Is this Mr. Yard?” A female voice came through the phone. Right away, he could tell that it was Maya. “You must be Miss Maya. Yes, it is me. Where did you get my number from?” “Scarlett gave me your number,” she replied. “Mr. Yard, I assume you still remember what we talked about yesterday! The press conference for ‘Glutton God’ will take place at 10.00AM. Don’t be late!” Press conference? He only remembered that there was such a thing when she mentioned it. “I’ll be there!” he said before he hung up the phone. The movie press conference was a more formal event. He initially planned to wear a suit, but after searching through his wardrobe for a while, he couldn’t find a single one. In the end, he simply put on a track suit and rushed over. At 9.40AM, he arrived at Caesars Palace.Currently, the entrance of Caesars Palace was crowded with people. Apart from large groups of entertainment media reporters who came upon hearing the news, many of Maya’s fans had also gathered in front of the hotel very early on. In addition, some big burly men in suits and sunglasses were there to maintain order. The size of this crowd was enormous. Christopher was going to step into the hotel when a tall, almost two-meter tall, hefty man suddenly held him back. “Don’t move. Non-staff are not allowed to enter,” the hefty man said. Non-staff? Christopher shook his head and said, “I was specially invited by Miss Maya to join the press conference today.” “You? A special invitation from Miss Soto? To join the press conference?” The hefty man laughed. Scorning at Christopher, he said, “Hey, kid, you should use your brain if you’re going to lie! Look at how shabby you look, yet you have the nerve to tell me you’ll be joining the press conference. Do you think I’m blind? No offense, but you’re definitely out of place here. Look at that person—if you want to go in to see your idol, you should spend a bit of money like him and dress up appropriately!” The hefty man pointed at a short distance away, where a middle-aged man dressed in Caesars Palace’s staff uniform was just kicked out. “Look at him. He custom ordered a special costume on the internet. What about you? Did you just come here looking like that? Fella, you still have to be smart if you want to get close to your favorite celebrity. Now, get out!” The hefty man assumed that Christopher was Maya’s fan since he had met several of them that morning. Thinking it was slightly ridiculous, Christopher did not bother to give any further explanation or waste any more time with the hefty man and simply walked inside. He thought it was only natural, but to the hefty man, it was no different from a challenge and break-in. The hefty man scorned, “Well, well, you sure are daring! You’re trying to break in, huh? But can you get in?” Immediately, he grabbed Christopher by the collar. The hefty man was so strong that he almost lifted Christopher off the ground. Because Christopher’s clothes were being tugged, it made him feel slightly uncomfortable, so he frowned and said, “Let go.” “Let go?” the hefty man sneered. “I will.” With that, he motioned to throw Christopher out.The hefty guy was big and tall, and he had been a soldier for several years. Even though he was not part of the special forces team, his abilities were still quite impressive. This fella looks scrawny, so he’s probably the type of person with little physical strength. I can easily throw him out,the hefty man thought. He had clearly exerted all his strength until his face turned red, but to his surprise, Christopher still remained unmoved. Huh? What’s happening? Looking at the hefty man, Christopher let out a sigh. Even though the hefty man was being impolite by grabbing his collar and not letting go, he thought about it and still chose to be patient. “Miss Maya really did invite me to join the press conference! If you don’t believe me, I will call her right now and ask her to come get me.” He’s getting more and more unreasonable! He said he’s gonna call Miss Maya to personally come and get him? Who does he think he is? He must have a loose screw! If I can’t throw him out myself, then I’ll have to get the guys! The hefty man beckoned some people from inside the hotel. Suddenly, a few more men with similar physiques walked out. “What’s wrong, Dwayne?” The other hefty men looked to the person called Dwayne and asked once they came over.“Get this fella out of here!” Dwayne commanded as he pointed at Christopher. “No problem!” Upon hearing Dwayne’s command, the hefty men went up to Christopher together. At this moment, the doors of an elevator not too far away opened. With her hair up and dressed in a blue off-shoulder evening dress, Maya walked out with a bunch of assistants surrounding her. “Mr. Yard!” At a glance, she spotted Christopher outside the building and exclaimed, “You’re here. I thought you hadn't made it yet! I was about to give you a call to ask you to hurry up!” Seeing him standing outside without moving, she asked, “Why didn’t you come in?” Looking at those hefty men who were glancing at each other, Christopher shrugged his shoulders. Just then, the person called Dwayne came back to his senses. He looked at Maya in bewilderment and asked, “Miss Soto, do you know this person?” “Of course!” She looked dazed. “He’s the special guest I invited to join the press conference for ‘Glutton God’ today. Why? Is there a problem?” “No, not at all!” Dwayne replied as he wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. Christopher looked at Dwayne with a blank expression and asked, “Can I go in now?”“Yes! Of course you can!” When Dwayne heard his question, he immediately made a path for Christopher to get through. Christopher, who did not intend on holding this against Dwayne, shook his head and walked right in. After seeing Christopher and Maya disappear from his field of vision, Dwayne finally let out a sigh of relief. He was beyond perturbed earlier out of fear that Christopher would give him trouble for his rude words and actions. It would’ve been disastrous if that had happened, but thankfully it did not. But who exactly is this person that Miss Soto treated him so nicely and invited him to join the press conference? He’s also incredibly young. If Miss Maya’s fans find out, they would probably make a huge fuss about it! … Inside Maya’s waiting room, since all her assistants had gone out to prepare for the press conference that was about to start, the only people left inside were her and Christopher. The atmosphere felt rather awkward. Maya was different from the image she showed on screen. She had a shy personality, so she stayed silent. On the other hand, Christopher did not know how to act in front of the national goddess, so he also stayed silent.This coward was still the same; he had lecherous intent but no guts to act on it.
