"Could you ride a horse?"This touched on Charlotte's weakness, and she shook her head honestly, "No, I won't.""It's okay, I managed it."He spoke, paused for a moment, and then began to explain, "Aidan and the others invited me to go horseback riding in the afternoon, and they all brought their female companions."Charlotte understood: "Oh, okay, I got it."People who were not married brought their female companions, but he, who was married, did not bring his wife. Wouldn't people say that he had a marriage problem again?Understood, she understood everything!Leandro glanced at her for two seconds and said, "You played the piano."With that, he got up and left the piano room.Charlotte dared not be decadent anymore. She quickly lifted the piano cover and began practicing the piano.After practicing for over an hour, she picked up her phone and opened Elizabeth's chat box.Just now, the phone kept lighting up, and Elizabeth sent her a lot of messages.Elizabeth: Lottie, come out and
In the photo, the man's figure was extremely eye-catching.Leandro took just one glance and then withdrew, "Do you like watching?"Charlotte's face turned red instantly: "No, just, just eating melon!"Leandro handed her the phone back and said, "Don't look at it anymore.""I'm not watching anymore, it's not good-looking either, and it's not as good-looking as your abs."Are you crazy, Charlotte?What were you just saying?Just say you were not Charlotte!After realizing what she had said, she stood there, frozen as if her whole body had stiffened, her mind completely blank. Charlotte didn't dare to look up at the other person."Indeed."Leandro looked down at his reddened earlobe, resisting the urge to pinch it. "Next time, why don't you look at my abs instead? I can show them to you for free."Charlotte wished she could dig a hole right there and bury herself!Seeing her standing still, Leandro couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you not going to eat?"Charlotte looked up and glan
On a beautiful weekend, some people were in a good mood, while others felt desperate.Angela had no idea how things had turned out like this!Why is it her lying next to Paul Proctor now, when this was clearly the "package" she arranged for Charlotte?Since the incident happened until now, Angela has been completely bewildered.The "paparazzi" she had arranged burst in and started taking photos of her and Paul.She had nothing on her, so she couldn't even snatch the camera. As she watched them about to develop the photos, she became anxious and instinctively grabbed the nearby desk lamp and threw it."The paparazzi was chased away by the hotel staff who arrived later. She wrapped herself in a sheet and went into the bathroom to get dressed, even forgetting to ask Paul if anything had happened between them."Angela came out of the hotel with a blank mind. When she returned home and calmed down, she wanted to contact the people over there. By then, her photos with Paul had already been
"Was it you? Tiana, was it you--"Angela had not finished speaking when her phone was already busy.Tiana didn't answer her phone.She bit her lip and dialed the person on the paparazzi's side."What's wrong with you guys? Didn't I say it? After taking the photos, give them to me first. Why did you just send them out directly?""What are you saying? Our equipment was all damaged. How can we export the photos to you so quickly?""If not your people, then who? Only your people..."Angela, realizing the problem, said, "How many people did you send?""There were three of us, too many people would easily arouse suspicion from the hotel."Three people!But what she saw this morning was clearly five people!Angela suddenly realized that this matter might really be related to Leandro.If it was really like this, this dumb loss, she had no other way but to swallow it and there was no other solution at all.Perhaps, perhaps it was not just about swallowing this dumb loss so easily...Angela fel
Charlotte took a light nap and quickly woke up, then she hurriedly put on some "bare makeup" and changed into a set of sportswear.She was hesitating whether to wear a hat or not when Leandro knocked on the door.Charlotte quickly threw the hat in her hand to the side and walked over to open the door.The door opened, and the man had already changed into a more casual outfit: "Can we go out now?"Charlotte felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, and she instinctively pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes, yes, it's possible."The first time I went horseback riding, I didn't even know if there was anything wrong with how I was dressed."Is it okay if I dress like this?""No."Leandro shifted his gaze and landed back on her eyes, "Very fitting."Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, let's go then. Mr. Duncan and his team should have already arrived, right?""Don't worry, they hadn't arrived yet."Leandro lied calmly, "Did you apply sunscreen?"Charlotte nodded, "Wiped, wiped."
Charlotte came back after making the phone call and found that Nathan and the others had already ridden away.Leandro was still waiting for her in the same place, except that he had some protective gear on his hands.Charlotte hurried over and said, "I'm sorry, my assistant called me to confirm the upcoming months' performance schedule.""How many performances were there next?"Charlotte glanced at him and said, "Not many, just two."She declined most of them because they were mostly abroad and too far away. She didn't really feel like traveling so much this year.Leandro held the knee pad and said, "Come here, I'll help you put this on."Charlotte was taken aback and quickly reached out her hand, saying, "I can handle it myself."I'm so embarrassed about this, so many people were watching!Today is the weekend, and there were quite a few people at the horse ranch.The man moved his eyebrows and eyes slightly, but didn't say anything, and handed the knee pad to her.Charlotte took it
Leandro looked at her and explained, "The first time you came, I was worried about you riding alone. Can you ride alone after you have learned?"Charlotte thought the same way, "Sure."Just one question, "Did I have a coach to teach me?"Mainly, she has been here for so long and hasn't seen any coach."I taught you."Charlotte heard what he said and pursed her lips, "I was afraid."The staff member who was untying the horse rope on the side chuckled, "Mrs. Romero, don't worry, Mr. Romero is very skilled in horsemanship."Charlotte looked at Leandro with a puzzled expression and said, "I didn't mean that, what I meant was, I was afraid that I was too dumb and wouldn't be able to learn.""If you can't learn it, you will continue to learn next time."Leandro said as he led the horse, "Say hello to Windchaser."Charlotte looked at Leandro and said, "I couldn't."Leandro taught her where Windchaser liked to be touched. Charlotte saw Windchaser wagging its tail contentedly and knew that it
Leandro looked at the sudden appearance of Hanna, a hint of dissatisfaction flickering in his dark eyes. "Hanna, Lottie, this is the daughter of my mother's good friend.""This is my wife, Charlotte.""Hello, Ms. Norton."Charlotte realized it and smiled at Hanna.Hanna looked at her, "I was a little rude just now, I hope I didn't scare you, Ms. Bernard."She said, her gaze shifting towards Leandro, "I won't disturb you anymore."With that, Hanna kicked her feet and the white horse carried her away.Charlotte turned her head and thought about what Hanna had just called out, "Lance." She felt a sourness in her chest, as if someone had squeezed a drop of lemon juice into it.She didn't know if she was being oversensitive, but she always felt that Hanna was doing it on purpose.Charlotte suppressed her sour thoughts and forced herself to say, "Ms. Norton's equestrian skills are really good.""Generally."Upon hearing Leandro's words, Charlotte suddenly felt less sour.She glanced in the
The manager’s attitude immediately shifted to one of caution and respect. "Miss, do you have any other phone numbers?"Shannon realized it was time to stop pushing. She was worried that Emmett was just an ordinary customer at this store, since he never really shopped for women’s clothing."Never mind, it’s fine. Since you’re clearing the place, we’ll just leave."Shannon said this, exchanging a glance with Melany. They linked arms and were about to head out.The manager, having seen the photo on Shannon’s phone, wasn’t about to let her walk out so easily.Though Shannon wasn’t wearing any high-end brands, her graceful demeanor suggested she could be someone understated. If they let her walk out now, they might risk offending a major customer.If they offended a big client, the manager’s position was as good as over."Please, miss, wait!"As Shannon reached the door and was truly about to leave, Sarah’s mocking voice came from behind. "I wonder whose photos they stole to pretend with.
Melany froze for a moment, glancing at Shannon. "Shae?"Shannon gave Melany a smile, feeling a bit awkward. "I gave them Emmett’s number."She recalled that every season, there were always a few pieces from this store in her wardrobe."Please wait a moment."Wendy and Sarah both noticed the movement from Shannon’s side. Wendy, who had just grabbed her phone to continue playing, now wore a displeased expression.Sarah, putting down the clothes she was holding, walked over to Wendy. "Wendy, do you think those two might be VIP members too?"Wendy sneered. "I don't know whose card they borrowed."Confidently, Wendy continued, "VIP members at this store are no joke. You need to spend at least a million a month, and more than twenty million a year to get VIP status."Though rich people might not see a million a month as much, the fact that one would spend over twenty million a year at one store was no small thing.She had her VIP membership because her mother loved this store too. Every new
The two women found another parking spot and parked their car. However, Melany was still angry. "Do you know those two women, Shae?"Shannon shook her head. "I don’t know them. It's just that last week when I was shooting the 'Dong Ting' endorsement, my car was rear-ended by her. I was planning to talk privately, but the car owner wouldn't let it go, and in the end, Clarissa called the cops."Melany had heard about it. "...Wasn’t she driving under the influence that day?""Yeah, Clarissa said she had all her points taken away.""Ah, no wonder she didn’t drive today!" Melany pressed the elevator button, then added, "Those two women seemed like strangers. I’ve never seen them before."In the high-society circles of City A, Shannon and Clarissa knew just about everyone. But those two women were unfamiliar to her."Probably not from A City," Shannon said nonchalantly.The elevator doors opened, and Melany walked in first. "Forget it, don’t let them ruin our mood."Shannon snorted. "Let’s
Ever since Shannon discovered Randall’s feelings for her, she had mixed and complex emotions whenever she saw the messages he sent her. However, his message was strictly business, just the final version of the promotional video they had filmed together.The message was short and to the point—"The final video is ready."Shannon could only reply with a "Thank you" emoji and clicked to download the video, but she wasn’t sure if she should open it at this moment.Melany, noticing her strange behavior, waved a hand in front of her face. "What’s up with you?"Melany was a fan of Randall, and Shannon didn’t want her to know about the situation, so she quickly turned off her phone screen and shook her head. "Nothing, just spaced out for a second!""What were you thinking so seriously about?" Melany raised an eyebrow, glancing at her meaningfully. "Thinking about your Mr. Dunn?"Shannon froze. "No.""What’s there to be shy about? Absence makes the heart grow fonder! If it weren’t for Mr. Dunn
The two walked in silence for a while until they got to the car. Only then did Shannon take a deep breath, shaking his hand. “Emmett, please don’t be angry.”Emmett glanced at her shaking his hand but didn’t speak. He simply looked up, his gaze calm but focused on her.Shannon met his eyes, biting her lip. “I swear! I really didn’t have any feelings for him. You all told me that Randall liked me, and I was just curious, so I turned around to take a quick look!”Emmett instantly picked up on the key part of her words. “You all?”Shannon blinked, unable to escape his gaze, and finally confessed, “...I really didn’t think there was anything wrong with the way Randall looked at me earlier, really!”She said this with utmost sincerity.Of course, she only meant that she didn’t think there was anything wrong with Randall’s look earlier in the afternoon, but that didn’t mean his gaze just now was the same.“So what about the way he looked at you just now? You didn’t think there was anything
Emmett broke three digestion tablets in half, placing them in his palm and handing them to Shannon. “Next time, don’t eat so much. If you like it, we can come here more often.”Shannon felt embarrassed. Hearing him say this, her face turned even redder.She took the tablets from his hand and chewed them while mumbling, “I didn’t mean to eat so much.”She had been hungry and ate too quickly.Usually, she ate slowly, savoring each bite, but today, it felt like a starving wolf devouring its meal. She barely chewed before swallowing.Because she didn’t chew enough and ate too fast, she didn’t feel full. Before she knew it, she’d eaten too much.Emmett gently patted her head. “I’m not blaming you. Eating too much isn’t good for your stomach.”Shannon swallowed the tablets, nodding obediently. “I won’t next time.”He smiled, taking her hand. “Let’s go home, Mrs. Dunn.”Shannon nodded. “Mm-hmm.”She was exhausted after the long day of shooting, and all she wanted was to get home, shower, and
Shannon was caught off guard by this question. She blinked and replied, “But there is no 'if.'”If it were true, she really didn’t know what to do. After all, Randall never confessed anything, so what could she do?Emmett pinched her earlobe. “Nice try.”Shannon’s face flushed. She quickly changed the subject. “What are we eating later?”Emmett leaned back, looking at her. “Eat whatever you like.”“...”That was basically a non-answer!Meanwhile, the nanny van that had just left slowly came to a stop. The back door opened, and David stepped inside.As soon as he sat down, he saw Randall’s face as dark as a pot bottom.He clicked his tongue. “Who pissed you off?”Randall didn’t answer. He simply pulled down the brim of his cap, covering his face.David didn’t get a response, so he turned to the assistant behind him. “Terry, what’s going on with our Mr.Tucker?”Terry shrugged innocently, glancing at David. “I don’t know. He’s just suddenly in a bad mood.”“He was filming a promo with Sh
After confirming that Randall didn’t like her, Shannon quickly adjusted her mood. During the filming, she didn’t get distracted as often as she had before.Although she still had a few NGs, Shannon got into the groove and was finally able to continue the shoot.At first, she had some trouble getting into character, but gradually, she managed to improve. Her acting wasn’t top-notch, but she could easily handle the short two-minute promotional video.Besides, her "lychee eyes" could express a lot, and the character she was playing was a mute girl, so it worked out well. Overall, the shooting went smoothly.They shot from 2 PM until 7 PM. By the time they left the building, it was already getting dark.Emmett was standing by the car. Shannon didn’t see him at first, but it was Clarissa who spotted him and lightly tapped her on the shoulder, asking excitedly, “Shae, look, isn’t that Mr. Dunn?”The streetlights had already turned on, and Emmett was standing under one of them.Shannon lifte
Charlotte felt even more guilty as she listened to Dangelo's comforting words.She felt it was all Caroline's fault, otherwise she wouldn't have been constantly thinking about whether Dangelo liked her this afternoon!"What's troubling you? Tell me, maybe I can help you find clarity."Dangelo looked at her and raised an eyebrow.Charlotte took another sip of water, lifted her head slightly, and looked at him. "It's nothing, I just need to readjust."She spoke and paused for a moment, "Dangelo, may I ask you a bold question?"She was not someone who liked to pry into other people's privacy, but without resolving this issue, Charlotte felt it would be difficult for her to focus on the shoot this afternoon."What kind of situation would require the use of that polite tone?"Charlotte was taken aback, "Relationship issues."Dangelo clearly didn't expect her to be so direct, and his expression on his face visibly froze for a moment.Immediately, he lowered his head and looked at the Pocari
