Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- Clara took a sip, then politely set it down. Not really her thing. Aaron looked confused. "You don't like it?" He casually picked it up and tried it himself. He'd honestly thought it would suit her taste. The other three watched with jaws on the floor. Derek straight-up howled, "Dude! Who are you right now?!" Clara blinked. "What? It's just soup." Scarlett grabbed Clara's hand dramatically. "Oh honey, let me tell you something. My bestie once came to dinner with us and tried to give Aaron a piece of rib. He immediately made the staff bring him a whole new set of dishes. Said he had OCD.

OCD! And that friend? A super popular actress! She was so mad, she cried on the spot. Tell me that's not psychotic?" Clara nodded solemnly. "That's... yeah, that's extreme." Scarlett looked at her like she'd just found her new idol. "Seriously, how did you do it?" Clara's face turned scarlet. "I-I don't know! I didn't do anything! This has nothing to do with me!" Aaron could tell she was getting embarrassed again. His face darkened. "Eat your food." Then he peeled two shrimp and placed them on her plate without saying another word. ---- Scarlett elbowed Derek.

"Learn from your friend, will you?" Derek immediately started adding food to her plate. "Babe, I'm always this good to you!" Sure you are, Scarlett thought, poking her plate with a sigh. You're this good to everybody. Halfway through dinner, Clara's curiosity flared up again. "So, when you film those scenes where people are eating... do you guys actually eat?" Scarlett replied, "Not really. With a whole crew staring at you, it's hard to enjoy a meal." "What about kiss scenes? Are those real?" Scarlett smirked. "Usually, we fake it with camera angles. But honestly?

Real kisses look better on screen." Clara teased, "Girl, you're living the dream! So many gorgeous guys in your circle!" Scarlett laughed. "Then why don't you give it a try? With your face, you could blow up overnight." Clara waved her hands. "No way! I couldn't do it. I've got zero acting talent." Scarlett leaned closer. "Your face is your talent! But the job's no cakewalk. On my last shoot, a prop fell and hit my lower back. Doctor said I was fine, but it still hurts ---- like hell." Clara's expression turned serious. "Back injuries are no joke-especially if you plan on having kids someday.

Want me to try some acupuncture after dinner?" Scarlett's eyes lit up. "Wait-you know acupuncture? That's amazing!" Clara smiled. "It's no big deal." After dinner, the two found an empty room. Clara checked Scarlett's back, then carefully performed acupuncture. "This isn't anything serious," Clara said. "Just keep your back warm and don't lift anything heavy for a while. If I get the chance to give you another couple of treatments, you'll be good as new." Scarlett was amazed. "You carry acupuncture needles around with you?" Clara shrugged. "Doctor's instinct, I guess.

I'm just used to it." Scarlett sighed with gratitude. "Thank you so much. You have no idea how tough it is for us to go to hospitals. The second someone snaps a photo, it turns into a scandal. So we end up ignoring little injuries until they become big ones. I'm really lucky I met you." Clara nodded. "Women have to take care of themselves." ---- Dinner lasted a whopping four hours. And even when it was time to say goodbye, Scarlett was reluctant to leave. "Don't forget next Saturday!" she said. "I'll bring that hottie actor along.

And if he's busy, I'll get you an autographed photo at least." Clara beamed. "Deal! See you next week!" Then Scarlett glanced over at Aaron, who looked like he'd swallowed a lemon, and added, "You're not gonna suddenly cancel or bail, are you?" Clara laughed. "As if] I'll be there-on time!" Aaron shot Derek a deadly glare. This friendship? Over. Derek: Why is it always my fault?!
