Chapter 70: Little Fox
"Of course." Howard and Raj turned back confidently, certain they wouldn't show any surprise no matter what beauty they encountered. However, after seeing clearly who was behind them, they felt as if someone had grabbed their throats.
Only a hissing sound could escape their mouths, and their entire bodies seemed frozen under some kind of spell.
"Hey, little fox, I don't know when you went to Hogwarts to study magic, but if I remember correctly, this move is called Petrificus Totalus, right?"
Ron said to the beauty behind them, looking at the two ridiculously motionless figures in front of him.
Megan Fox, whom Ron had always nicknamed "Little Fox," was someone he'd met by chance. Ron had once spotted Megan's car broken down on the side of the road while on assignment. At first, he didn't recognize her.
He just thought the figure bent over the hood checking the engine had an amazing silhouette.
But when Ron saw the face behind that hood, his reaction was no better than the current nerdy scientist duo. He even felt the urge to call his supervisor for backup.
"Hey! Boss? The most beautiful woman alive just showed up in LA. Are you going to do anything about this?"
The person approaching her wasn't some Transformers fan, but an older guy with a lecherous expression like Ron's, claiming to be a big-shot director. Ron only later discovered that the creep was the famous Michael Bay.
The rest fell into place. Megan auditioned for Transformers and landed the lead role, while Ron successfully started dating her.
As for the British actress Megan was mentioning, that was another story entirely.
"I'm not that little British actress who was chasing after you," Megan said, walking up to Ron amid the envious stares of the crowd. She hooked her arm through his and said irritably, "Lucky for her she's back in England now, or I'd punch her lights out."
A British actress? Based on the conversation, there was only one person who fit the description: Emma Watson, who played Hermione in Harry Potter!
Ron, you still claim you're just a regular guy?! How could a normal agent date two Hollywood stars at the same time? Ron could clearly see the gossip fire in Howard and Raj's eyes burning even more fiercely.
"Little fox, you know I'm not interested in minors, and it's illegal. As a law enforcement officer in Los Angeles, I wouldn't knowingly break the law."
Ron spoke righteously. If Megan hadn't just happened to catch them together that one time, she might have believed him.
"Ha," Megan snorted, but she didn't let go of Ron's arm. Instead, she held him tighter, making Ron's arm feel... well, indescribable.
However, Ron didn't forget the friends he'd brought with him. "Little fox, is there any way to get my friends in with me? And if you can, maybe get them Avril's autograph? Don't get me wrong, they're huge fans. You know how I am about music."
"Of course, but what do I get in return? Will you take me home to meet your family?"
Megan licked her lips seductively. The nerdy scientists' eyes were probably full of desire, but to Ron, she looked like a succubus ready to devour an innocent soul. Yes, that's right, a beautiful succubus.
The ugly ones are just demons.
"That's unfortunate. My mom's already back in Texas. She was in Los Angeles just the other day when you were doing press for your movie. What terrible timing!" Ron expressed regret, but inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite her vixen-like appearance, Megan was actually a relatively stable example among female celebrities. In the original timeline, she didn't have her first serious relationship until she was an adult.
"Because my family was strict and didn't allow dating too young, you know?" Wasn't that a great excuse? But in fact, in traditional religious families in the United States, this was completely normal.
Adulthood was another matter, but compared to her peers, Megan was still a relatively drama-free woman, having only had two serious relationships and one divorce.
In this timeline, she hadn't met her future ex-husband, but had inexplicably fallen head over heels for Ron.
"Okay, follow me," Megan said casually to the security guard and ushered the three inside. After all, this was a celebration party for the Transformers cast and crew, and Megan was the star of the show.
"Ron! You're incredible! You actually managed to win over a woman like that!" As soon as Megan stepped away, Howard immediately gushed with admiration. To an outsider, you might have thought he was the one dating the celebrity.
"It's nothing. Believe it or not, we're really just friends," Ron said, almost believing it himself.
"How can we be like you?"
"Why don't you just finish my project first, and I'll help you figure something out?" Ron scratched his head.
How to get famous female celebrities to fall for nerdy guys like Raj and Howard? It was an age-old question, and Ron had no magic solution. He could only try to encourage them, hoping to help bring their destined romances closer.
I heard Penny mention they recently hired two new waitresses at the restaurant. I wonder if Bernadette is one of them. I should check that out for Howard sometime.
A little while later, Megan returned with the autographs Howard and Raj had requested. Ron had to spend the entire evening acting as Megan's date, drinking and chatting with all sorts of Hollywood bigshots he didn't know, forcing smiles until his face hurt.
There were even two sleazy producers who put their hands on Ron's waist and asked him, in suggestive tones, if he was planning on becoming an actor with his good looks.
Damn it! What kind of acting? They just wanted him for other purposes!
Ron, disgusted, lifted his shirt slightly, revealing his IRS badge. He then asked them in a friendly tone if they'd paid their taxes properly, sending the two creeps running like they'd seen the Grim Reaper.
"Haha..." Megan leaned on Ron for support. If it weren't for Ron's steady hands, he'd have suspected the little vixen would have collapsed from laughing.
"Is it really that funny? If there's an event like this next time, can you please not drag me along? The entertainment industry is so messed up," Ron complained.
"Hahaha, I still crack up when I think of Harvey's expression when he saw your badge. Ron, you're quite the charmer. Even Hollywood's most notorious 'casting couch king' fell for your looks."
Ron was puzzled: "King? Wasn't that guy just now...?"
Megan looked at him teasingly: "It's said that Harvey prefers to be on the receiving end, if you know what I mean."
Ron shuddered. This industry is so twisted!
"Okay, so he's the producer who's been harassing you? I don't understand why you wanted me as your date to help you get rid of him if he's into guys?"
"Who said he's only into guys?" Megan took a sip of the champagne in her hand: "He swings both ways..."
