“Luke, is this show important?”Mona asked her agent tentatively. Mrs. Yale was not a person to be messed with. Back then, they had argued rather unpleasantly.This time, the person holding the reins was Mrs. Yale. According to her vengeful character, she would most definitely use it to her advantage to fulfill her personal vendetta.“Of course, it’s important. It’ll be your first gig after setting up a studio. Don’t you want a good start?”Luke paused and realized something was wrong.“Why did you ask? Do you not want it?”“I’ve had a problem with the designer before. I think no matter how perfectly I perform, there’s no way she’ll let me have the center position.”Mona expressed her thoughts in a flat tone. Her nonchalant look made Luke frantic.“What? You offended the designer?” Luke exclaimed, “Mona, you really— Do you know how powerful her family is? How did you even come into contact with a person of her class?”Mona pinched the bridge of her nose and frowned slightly, a
Tim tugged the white shirt on his body and smiled faintly, revealing two dimples on his handsome face. “No, I just think I should respect you since you’re my boss.”Mona grinned. She looked friendly, but at the same time, he could not figure out what kind of person she was. “What kind of boss am I? Do you think I’m scary because you saw me scold Luke earlier?”Tim scratched the back of his head and nodded. “Yeah.”“Haha.”Mona laughed brightly and did not explain. At that moment, Ben drove the car over. They got in and set off for the venue.The company had equipped Mona with a spacious and magnificent Mercedes-Benz MPV. Mona sat nearer to the front while Tim sat by the door.Ben was a chatterbox and helped to maintain a good atmosphere. He occasionally found a topic to talk about.“You look quite young. How old are you?”“Guess.”“It’s not easy to guess. While I think you look like you’re in your twenties, people nowadays take good care of their skin. Especially beauties like
The person in charge of the show heard Mrs. Yale’s words and looked at Mona, who was standing to the side.To be honest, she was not late. Her clothes had not fit her, so her styling was delayed for a moment. There was no need to be so harsh.“Mrs. Yale, Mona is the model recommended by Mr. Rockwell of Starbright. She’s a good candidate. How about we interview her first before making a decision. How does that sound?”When Mrs. Yale heard that, her expression darkened. She was instantly displeased.“Haven’t you always been very strict? Why are you being perfunctory now? You should know that this is my show. The first requirement I need from a model is a good character. Everything else is out of the question.”Mrs. Yale raised her head with a demanding expression. It was clear she wanted to block Mona’s way.Ben was angered by Mrs. Yale’s look and wanted to stand up for Mona, but she held him back.“My apologies, Mrs. Yale, for delaying your precious time with my tardiness. How ab
Mona stood up. Ben and Tim came over to help her carry her skirt and walked to the back of the catwalk.Mona looked through the curtain at the other candidate, who had just finished her walk and was heading down the stage.Realizing it was her turn soon, she straightened her dress and tensed her body to find a balance point she could use for support.“On stage.” The person in charge backstage ordered in Mona’s ear. She held her head high and walked on stage with a catwalk that made her look like a professional model.The other two candidate models had a dazzling spotlight shining on them. However, once Mona got on stage, all the lights went out. A beam of white poured down from above her head, enveloping her in white.Mona froze for a moment. With the light shining on her like that, it would only make her face look white and puffy. The effect must not be desirable.She quickly regained her composure and did her best. As a professional model, she would inevitably encounter unpredi
“It’s about Mona.” Raymond’s long fingers tapped on the screen, arranging for a driver to take him to the show.Thaddeus was displeased. “Mona? When did you guys get so close?”Raymond picked up his suit, stood up, and hurried outside.“Let’s save that for later. Your ex-wife is being bullied at a show, and I have to go save her. Are you coming?”Thaddeus stood up immediately, and his expression became tense.The two tall and handsome men walked out of the cafe, turning heads wherever they went.Raymond’s driver drove the car to the entrance of the building and took the two men to the direction of the show.Along the way, Raymond showed Thaddeus the video of Mona’s catwalk. After watching it, the man’s expression suddenly turned cold and sullen. The tense air around him made the driver nervous, so he sped up.Raymond saw Thaddeus’s worry written all over his face. The latter did not look like the usual cold and aloof CEO at all.As the saying went: It was impossible to hide on
“Ouch.” Mona frowned. It was quite painful.“Bear with it for a while. It hurts a little at first, but it’ll pass.”Tim’s hand gently massaged her foot. The force he used was not too little or heavy. It was just right.Mona’s hand could not help but clench as she endured the pain.Neither noticed that the stylists and staff had left the dressing room, leaving just the man and woman alone.Not long after, the door of the dressing room opened again, revealing Tim half-kneeling in front of Mona as soon as Raymond and Thaddeus walked in. They could not see what Tim and Mona were doing from their angle, but from Mona’s soft and muffled noises, it was enough for their imagination to run wild.The scene in front of them was like a small fire that lit Thaddeus’s heart and instantly ignited a blazing fire.The man’s sanity went up in flames. He took large strides toward the two, grabbed Tim, and smashed his fist into Tim’s face.Tim, stunned by the blow, crashed backward into the dresse
Mona widened her eyes and stared at Thaddeus.She could not understand this man at all. He punched someone without rhyme or reason and carried her around.Crazy. This man must be crazy!Seeing this, Raymond chased after them. “Hey, where are you taking Mona? She still has work to do here.”The man did not turn and simply said, “I’ll send her back in two hours.”Then, he disappeared from the venue with Mona in his arms.“Where are you taking me? You’re treating me with disrespect. Put me down!”Thaddeus did not care about Mona’s resistance and carried her to Raymond’s car. Then, he instructed the driver to go to a nearby five-star hotel.The driver looked at the resisting Mona and was a bit hesitant.It was broad daylight. Was it a good idea to carry a girl to a hotel room?“Why are you spacing out?” Thaddeus scolded coldly. The driver shivered and hurriedly drove to find a hotel.Mona moved her body toward the door and clutched the handle desperately, ready to escape as soon
Putting away her casual attitude, Mona kept a straight face. Her expression was unusually serious. “We’re divorced, Thaddeus. Do you know what you’re doing?”The man was expressionless. “I always have a clear goal. I don’t need you to remind me of what I’m doing.”Mona looked fixedly at the man’s sculpted face, feeling helpless and angry.She could never understand what this man was thinking. He was the one who wanted a divorce but kept coming to pester her after it.It was indeed as he said. He only did things when they had a purpose. So maybe he had a goal in mind for doing all this.Thaddeus told the receptionist to give him the presidential suite, specifically requesting a room with a large bathtub.When the receptionist checked them in, she secretly looked at Mona with strange eyes. There was curiosity and contempt in her gaze, as well as faint jealousy.Mona could only bury her head in the man’s chest like an ostrich burying its head in the ground. As long as her face was
