Eulalia’s face paled, her eyes misting with tears. “I... I just want to end our contract…” She struggled, but Cylus’s grip was too strong. She trembled like a leaf in the wind.Cylus glared at her, deleting the recording and formatting the phone for good measure. He then smashed it on the floor, shattering the screen.“No…”After searching her thoroughly to ensure she had no other recording devices, Cylus yanked her by the hair, throwing her to the ground. Her small, terrified face looked up at him, eyes wide like a frightened deer.“Unless you pay the breach penalty, an astronomical amount, you can’t end the contract,” Cylus sneered.Eulalia shook her head fearfully.“Then behave and stop with these tricks. You think you can outsmart me? Pathetic.” He raised his hand and slapped her hard. She tried to dodge, but her neck still took the blow. She crumpled to the floor, clutching her neck as tears streamed down her face.Lying on the ground, she curled up defensively, sobbing. “the com
Luckily, the protective film did its job and didn't get damaged. It would've been such a waste to sacrifice a phone just to deal with some scumbag.The phone got wiped clean, and the recordings were gone. Recovery was out of the question. But Eulalia never intended to use the phone to trap Cylus. Cylus has been in the entertainment industry for a long time; his guard is pretty high. He wouldn't easily spill the beans. But he has a major flaw—he can't handle anger.He's like a string of firecrackers ready to explode or a balloon that pops with the slightest prick. People tend to say things they've bottled up when they're emotional. Cylus had been annoyed with her since yesterday, holding it in until today, looking for an easy target to release it on. Eulalia, who he saw as worthless, was the perfect target. Plus, Evette, who was with him, didn't like him either.Sure enough, she easily got him to say more than she expected, and the content was even richer than she'd hoped.Eulalia took
“You weren’t like this before, were you?” Same face, but definitely not the same pushover. How could someone change this much? It’s like she’s a different person. If she had always been like this, hewouldn’t have underestimated her.“Well, think of me as having a split personality then. Get used to this version of me, and if you can’t, I’ll make sure you remember me vividly.”Eulalia tossed the magazine she was holding onto the table and said in an orderly manner, “I want the money transferred to me before midnight, and the termination contract sent to my email by the weekend.”Cylus’ face twisted, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t terminate the contract?”“I don’t want to terminate it now, but that doesn’t mean I won’t want to in the future. Do you really think your lousy co
Percival watched the car drive away, feeling a sudden emptiness inside. How could someone have eyes so similar to hers? The way she looked at him was exactly like in his dreams, and just thinking about it brought him immense pain.Oliver ran up to him, out of breath. “Boss, what’s up?”Percival murmured, “I just saw Eulalia.”Oliver paused, thinking back to the scene. “You mean the woman who just got in the elevator was Eulalia?”Percival didn’t reply, but his silence was confirmation enough.The woman who got in the elevator was wearing a mask that covered her face entirely, showing only her eyes. Oliver couldn’t understand how Percival recognized her as Eulalia.Besides, Eulalia had died three years ago, burned alive on a snowy Christmas day. They all knew that.“Boss, she’s been dead for three years. There’s no way you saw her.”
Back then, Ms. Hayak wanted to take Misty away, but Misty refused to leave. She absolutely refused to leave that empty mansion.Her legs were badly injured at the time. Even after recovery, she walked with a limp - a lifelong injury.The once beautiful ragdoll cat was left with only one ear after the terrible fire, and her fur was patchy. Percival kept glancing at the selfie Eulalia had taken with the cat.It was hard to believe this was the same gorgeous ragdoll from the photo.Misty became lonely after Eulalia died, eating and sleeping all alone. She spent most of her time in places Eulalia used to hang out.Percival tried to approach her, but always ended up scratched and bitten. Eventually he gave up and just filled her food bowl daily. He left the litter box cleaning to the daily cleaning service.After putting out cat food and water, Percival went upstairs with his pajamas to shower.He took a cold shower. With his clothes off, various scars were visible on his skin - knife mark

Victor asked the flight attendant for an iced coffee. She recognized him right away and got all flustered, bringing over a bunch of sugar packets with the coffee.Victor loves coffee but can't handle the bitterness - all his fans know that.He mumbled a "thanks" in that lazy, deep voice of his. When he talks low like that, it's a bit raspy and sends shivers down your spine.The flight attendant was blushing hard. If she wasn't on the job, she totally would've asked for his autograph.Victor drank half the coffee before setting it aside and pulling out his phone to scroll through Twitter. His manager glanced over and immediately frowned."Why are you still looking at her trending topics?" he asked.Victor was checking out Eulalia's trending posts. He didn't know why he was so into this chick, but he'd even made a burner account just to follow her."Don't tell me you've got a thing for her," his manager said, looking horrified.
