"I didn't!"It's all Elizabeth's fault. She said, "It's normal to be scared for the first time. Just light some scented candles, dim the lights, and create a romantic atmosphere. Everything will fall into place."Charlotte quickly denied it.Thinking about how Leandro had just seen the message Elizabeth sent, Charlotte was afraid that he would bring up the topic again. Subconsciously, she straightened her body and decided to focus on watching the movie. "Let's watch a movie."Leandro leaned back on the sofa behind him and casually responded, "Oh."The movie was a serious suspense film, but it seemed like the scale of this suspense film was a bit large.The movie was playing for about twenty-five minutes when the female protagonist and the male protagonist suddenly started passionately kissing.The audio system was particularly good, with 360-degree surround sound. The sound of the male and female protagonists kissing and their rapid breathing could be heard in the audio room.Charlott
Charlotte sat restlessly again, feeling the same awkwardness she used to experience as a child when watching idol dramas with her parents and witnessing the sudden kiss between the main characters. She didn't know where to place her gaze.The excessively good equipment made people feel like they were there, the iron bed clanged and clanged, and the actress's unabashed screams made the entire audiovisual room narrow.In the quiet audio room, there was only the sound of the movie playing, the ambiguous moaning, which made the air become hot. Charlotte felt that even her breathing was not smooth.The room was filled with that sound, very awkward. Charlotte raised her hand and wiped her forehead, her gaze sweeping over the fruit on the table, and a thought struck her: "The watermelon looks so sweet."She said as she took the opportunity to get up from Leandro's arms and grab a piece of watermelon.At that moment, the supporting actress suddenly exclaimed, "Hmm--"The effect of the stereo
Charlotte was overwhelmed with affection, her ears filled with Leandro's deep breaths and the restless pounding of her own heart.The big hand withdrew from behind her waist, stopping at her side, hesitantly probing, but ultimately not venturing in.He gained momentum, and the passionate deep kiss gradually turned into a comforting kiss.Charlotte closed her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled. Her cheeks turned as red as freshly boiled shrimp.Her mind was blank, only feeling the gentle kiss of the man's reassurance.After about half a minute, her consciousness slowly returned. Her almond eyes opened, filled with a watery glimmer, like a lost fawn in the woods on a clear morning.His black eyes looked at her, filled with unabashed desire, so intense that it felt like a tightly woven net, completely ensnaring her.He raised his hand and gently brushed away the playful strands of hair that clung to her cheek, his voice hoarse as he spoke, "Mrs. Romero."Charlotte furrowed her brows and he
Watching the bathroom door close, Charlotte finally mustered the courage to open Elizabeth's chat box.Underneath the unread message that Leandro had seen, Elizabeth sent several more messages: "Hey? Why aren't you replying?"Elizabeth: I understood, I disturbed, I'm sorry.Charlotte glanced over and sent an emoji directly: [Rabbit speechless.JPG].Elizabeth responded quickly, just as Charlotte had sent the message. She replied back in the next second, saying, "Why are you messaging me if you're not being affectionate with your husband?"Charlotte: ...Elizabeth: No joking, there's something I want to tell you.Charlotte saw that she was serious, touched her slightly warm cheek, and raised an eyebrow in confusion.Elizabeth: Last week at the company dinner, I saw my uncle at the restaurant. He was on the phone at that time, saying something like "Stop trying to get a penny from him again." I'm worried if something happened to my uncle. Can you go home and check on him when you have ti
Charlotte didn't know how she fell asleep, but that night she had another indescribable dream.This dream was even clearer than the previous ones, and it even had details.When Charlotte opened her eyes, she found that it was already bright outside.Leandro on one side was no longer in bed, she touched her flushed cheek and let out a slight sigh of relief.Luckily, Leandro was not in bed, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to face him for a while.Last night, she actually dreamt that she tore Leandro's clothes and did this and that.Don't think!Just thinking about it makes me feel shameless!Charlotte quickly slapped her cheeks to wake herself up a bit!Just after washing his face, Leandro, who had just finished swimming, walked in through the door wearing a loose bathrobe.His black eyes fell on her, finally resting on her face. "Good morning, Mrs. Romero."Charlotte felt a little guilty, "Good morning.""Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?"He was speaking when a pe
Just as Greyson finished speaking, another voice saying "Dad" came through.Leandro, who had parked the car, followed behind Charlotte as Greyson's voice had been quite loud just now, and Leandro clearly heard it.Charlotte glanced at her father and then turned to look at her husband, feeling quite awkward about the situation.Greyson coughed a few times, "Don't mind, Leandro. Dad didn't mean anything; Dad is just worried about you guys!""I don't mind, Dad. We have a relatively free week, so we came over to see you with Lottie."Greyson was immediately touched. "Ah, you young people, it's rare to have a weekend, just go and have fun by yourselves! Why come and accompany an old man like me?"Charlotte held Greyson's arm and said, "Dad, you were not an ordinary old man, you were a fun old man!"She saw the fishing gear in Greyson's hands and asked, "Dad, did we disturb you while you were fishing?"Greyson looked at the fishing rod in his hand and exclaimed, "You little rascal! Your dad
Leandro had no idea that she would make such a move. His dark eyes sank as he looked at Charlotte, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down: "Kiss me again?"A deep and hoarse voice, with a hint of restrained desire.Charlotte was also impulsive just now. When she heard him say "one more time," her face turned red.I looked up and saw that the green light had just turned on.Her eyes lit up and she breathed a sigh of relief as she exclaimed, "The green light is on!"Leandro looked at her for two seconds before calmly withdrawing his hand and slowly starting the car.Charlotte turned her head and looked out of the car window, raising her hand to touch her cheek.Hmm, although feeling shy, it was mostly sweet.Oh, she has also become bad.Charlotte had planned to stay at home all day today, but unexpectedly, she was sent back by Greyson after only having lunch.When she left in the morning, she told Joyce that she didn't need to cook for lunch and dinner today.Returning to the villa, th
The phone inside the bag rang loudly, and Charlotte gently tugged on his clothes, indicating for him to let go.Leandro frowned, slightly dissatisfied, and withdrew.Charlotte blushed and glanced at him, "It might have been my dad calling.""..."She took out her phone and saw the caller ID, which made her pause for a moment.Dangelo?What was the point of calling her at this time?Charlotte glanced at Leandro, and it was evident that Leandro also saw the caller ID.She felt inexplicably guilty, "I'll take a call."Charlotte gently pushed him away and walked over to the sofa, leaning against the backrest with her phone in hand. Only then did she answer the call, saying, "Hello, Dangelo?"A casual male voice came from the phone, "Ms. Bernard.""Is there something wrong, Mr. Bullock?""Well, this is how it goes. I signed up for a variety show this year, where professional singers compete with amateurs and other singers. The recording is scheduled to start around October and will last fo
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
