Paulo took the document and walked to his desk.After reading the contents, his feelings gradually turned complicated. He looked at Jenny and asked, "Why is there no photo of the male lead?""Mr. Dunn said the male lead hadn't taken the photos. But in a week, the male lead will join the filming crew to shoot with Miss Lane," Jenny answered truthfully."Erin probably agreed to film this movie for Chandler."Paulo looked rather lonely.Jenny asked, "Since you're unhappy, why do you still invest in this movie?"He responded calmly, "Chandler agrees to Erin filming. Why can't I support her? I also hope Erin can see my encouragement."His words shocked her. Faced with her surprise, Paulo said, "Jenny, don't judge me.""I dare not."His indifferent expression made her believe that he would forget Erin one day.Five minutes later, as Jenny was about to leave the villa, she met Rylan."Jenny, what task did Boss give you?"Seeing his curious expression, she looked at him with contem
Paulo looked at her, and his expression softened a little. "Just say it."Lucille asked embarrassedly, "As your bodyguard, would I have to live in your house?"He replied, "Isn't this normal? How would you save me if someone sneaked into my house and kidnapped me? Do you think I could call you in time?"The kidnappers would capture him successfully before she arrived!Lucille smiled awkwardly for asking such a stupid question."Any other questions?" Paulo asked.She shook her head. "No more."He looked at the contract. "Then sign it."Following his gaze, she picked up the contract again. "Okay! I'll sign it! Boss, the wage is given daily, right?""If you don't like it, I can pay you monthly."Lucille immediately waved her hands. "No! Daily pay is fine!"Paulo returned his attention to his documents without saying another word.Lucille quickly signed the contract and handed the duplicate copy to him."Just place the contract on the table. You'll start work tomorrow. Any que
Lucille followed Paulo immediately.After a few steps, she felt annoyed because she seemed too flattering toward him.Why couldn't she be herself every time she faced Paulo? He was the boss!…Paulo took her to his car.He looked at her without a word. Her cheeks turned red again. "What's wrong?""Fasten your seat belt."Lucille looked down and saw that she wasn't wearing a seat belt. She panicked as she tried to put it on but failed to buckle it.Paulo reached out and helped her.After he drove out, he said, "Lucille, you're distracted when you see me. How can you protect me in the future?"When he pointed out the problem, she lowered her head and dared not to look at him. Her voice was low. "Boss, I'll overcome it. I'm just not used to it.""What are you not used to?"Lucille blushed and confessed, "I'm not used to seeing overly gorgeous things ..."He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Things?"She immediately changed her words, "I mean people! Gorgeous people!""You mea
Paulo gave Lucille a ride back home. They reached in under an hour.He quickly drove away in his Rolls Royce as Ivy happened to return to the neighborhood.Standing at the entrance, she watched the luxurious car fade into the distance."Anyone who knows that rich dude cruising in a Rolls Royce must be pretty darn lucky!" she exclaimed.…Just as Lucille entered the living room, she received a surprise call from her cousin, Kyle."Lucy, are you home?"Hearing his voice, Lucille felt her eyes start to sting. Holding back tears, she replied in a thick voice, "Yes, I'm at home ...""Why the tears?" Kyle asked, realizing that she was about to cry."Kyle, I miss you!""How about I come over for dinner tonight?" Kyle suggested."But my best friend moved back and is staying with me," Lucille replied hesitantly."No problem, she can join us. I'll bring your favorite lobsters. Do you have butter and garlic at home?""Yes!""Awesome, see you tonight.""What time will you arrive?" L
Lucille and Kyle walked out hand in hand, heading for the elevator on the first floor.Kyle paused before speaking, "Lucy, no matter what happens, we're family. I messed up this time. I shouldn't have let so much time pass without reaching out to you ...""Kyle, it's on me! I'm just glad you can forgive me!""Come on, is there anything between us that needs forgiveness?"He pulled her into his arms and continued, "Grandma is gone, and from now on, we only have each other. I know you value your freedom, and I'll try my best not to control you."But if you ever decide to date again, just give me a heads up, okay? Your taste is questionable!"Lucille awkwardly laughed and agreed, "Sure thing. If you disapprove in the future, I'll end it right away!""That's more like it!"Kyle finally smiled, feeling content."Alright, head upstairs. I won't pressure you to travel since you're short on time, but remember, I'm here for you," Kyle said."Thanks, Kyle!" Lucille replied.Kyle sighe
About 30 minutes later, Lucille excused herself to use the restroom.Right after she left, Paulo exited the president's office.The executives bid him farewell respectfully before leaving.Looking at Rylan, Paulo asked, "Where's she gone?""Ms. Haynes went to the restroom," Rylan replied.Paulo paused for a moment, sounding relaxed as he asked, "Does she know about Marley?""Yep." Rylan nodded."And her reaction?" Paulo questioned further."Seemed like she didn't react much," Rylan shrugged.A flicker of displeasure crossed Paulo's eyes. He left with a dark expression, one of his hands casually tucked in his pocket.Rylan trailed behind him and couldn't help but mutter, "Boss, if you're into Ms. Haynes, you've got to let her know! She won't pick up on anything with that distant expression of yours."Hearing this, Paulo suddenly halted and turned to face Rylan.Rylan was startled and kept his head down."Boss! Are you done with your meeting? Why did you leave without waitin
"B-Boss, I-I can't remember a thing. Now that you're awake, do you mind letting go of me?" Lucille stammered. Her hands pushed against his chest. Despite her flushed face, her eyes revealed a clear reluctance.Paulo's urge to tease her vanished instantly. Sitting up, he turned away and ordered in an icy tone, "Just go and sleep on the couch.""Alright, Boss," she replied, distancing herself from the bed. Yet, she suddenly halted and turned around slowly. "Boss, why would you ... hide the scalpel under the pillow?""It's just a habit," he replied casually."Oh ..."Lucille thought momentarily before asking, "Boss, do you get nightmares often?"Paulo's face turned frosty as he shot back, "Are you prying into my private matters now?""No, Boss. I'm just worried about you! If you're dealing with nightmares a lot, perhaps talking to a psychologist could help.""I'm a psychologist myself. Do you think I only specialize in plastic surgery?"She hurriedly waved her hands and sai
Jill was frustrated when she recalled how she had spent two hours putting on makeup, another hour perming her hair, and tried over 20 dresses to impress Chandler. Yet, she did not even get a smile out of him.Her confidence suffered an unprecedented blow. She was even beginning to wonder if Erin had told Chandler about her beforehand.If he had known that Jill was Erin's friend, this so-called test would be meaningless."Chandler, you're putting up a great act! You do look like a man who has no interest in other women! I admit defeat!"Jill turned around to leave, disappointed."Hold on!"Halting her steps, she looked back at him and asked, "Yes?"Chandler stepped out of his car. He stared into her eyes and questioned, "Are you here to test me?"Jill chuckled and exclaimed, "Stop pretending! I know everything ...""Pretending?" Chandler asked, confused.Jill sounded impatient, saying, "Didn't Erin already tell you about this?""Erin agreed for you to test me?""Of course! W
Erin chuckled lightly as she said, "Enny would have married and fallen in love with another man sooner or later. "If that man is Paulo, I would be more than willing. Enny will be very happy in her life, and I'm at ease entrusting her to Paulo. And with Paulo being so wealthy, I don't have to worry about anyone coveting Enny's status or her family's power.""You make a good point!" Jill agreed."Jill, if your wedding with Ryder happens around the same time as Enny's, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to help you," Erin said worriedly."No worries, I don't want a wedding ceremony. Ryder and I just need to register our marriage. We've been living together for ten years anyway," Jill said.Erin nodded. "Yeah, that's fine. Weddings are quite tiring anyway, whether you have one or not."After chatting for a while, Jill heard Ryder's footsteps and said quickly, "Let's talk next time. He's coming in." …At 10:00 pm that day, Erin visited Chandler's office at his company.However, h
Ryder turned around with skepticism etched across his face. "What could possibly be wrong? Look at how anxious you are."As she leaned against the doorway, Jill held her phone aloft. There was a challenging glint in her eyes. "If you can remain that calm after hearing this news, I'll play your game with you later.""Really?" Ryder raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with."Forget it if you don't trust me." She pretended to turn away.In a swift motion, Ryder closed the distance between them."I believe you. Now, tell me," Ryder said."Enny and Paulo have settled things," Jill announced with a smirk playing on her lips."Damn! Who told you?" Ryder's curiosity peaked.Jill waved her phone triumphantly. "This is exclusive insider information! Erin personally sent a WhatsApp message, see for yourself!"Ryder snatched the phone, his eyes scanning the message rapidly.The message read, "Enny was two months pregnant with Paulo's child, and the couple had visited Paulo's parents. Whil
Cyril looked at Paulo's departing figure and sighed. "Master is so good-looking. That's why Ms. Frost has been chasing him for so many years… Actually, Master and Ms. Frost really are a perfect match!"Only after Paulo's figure disappeared into the forest did Cyril turn around silently.He was suddenly startled. "Ms. Frost…""Why so guilty? I'm not some demoness who preys on monks!" Enny exclaimed.Cyril laughed. "Ms. Frost, you're really humorous…""I'm asking you, where is your master?" Enny demanded.Cyril hesitated and said, "I don't know where Master is."Enny called his bluff. "Liar!""I really don't know," insisted Cyril."Cyril, your master is going through the most difficult time of his life. As his capable assistant and disciple, you must help him!" insisted Enny.Enny's serious expression made Cyril ask curiously, "What trouble has Master encountered?""Well, he wants to be with me, but he's too embarrassed to ask. What should I do?" she asked."Does Master reall
Many years later, on the day Enny got her ID card, she drove to Skycloud Mountain overnight.There was a temple on the top of Skycloud Mountain, and she was going to see someone there.By the time she struggled to the mountaintop, it was already 6:00 am the next day.Enny was dressed in black. She wore white hiking shoes with a duck tongue hat and her hair casually tied in a ponytail.Her beautiful, bare face had been a stumbling block on her path to growth.Every year, the number of men she rejected could fill several trucks.That was just among those who had the chance to approach her, while those who didn't could only watch from afar.Enny looked straight ahead, wiping the sweat that had trickled down her cheek.She took a deep breath and walked into the small, secluded temple that was cut off from the world.She finally arrived just in time on the day the new chief abbot took office. In fact, she was there to prevent the new abbot from entering the monastic life!Driven b
Erin had planned to visit Matthew's "Thinkerin City" to buy a violin and visit him.But Matthew's shop was closed, so after waiting for half an hour with Enny, she went to another store to buy one.However, she happened to meet him on the street now.Matthew slowly pushed the wheelchair toward her.He was dressed very casually. He wore a plaid shirt with short sleeves, jeans, and branded sneakers.His simple style was a far cry from his rock star days.He looked somewhat thinner, his smile faint. "Erin, did you and Enny come to buy an instrument?""Yes, we bought Enny a violin. We actually wanted to visit your store." Erin's gaze drifted to Claire, who sat in the wheelchair.Matthew responded, "Sorry, I had to take Claire to get some medicine."Although Claire had been tragically affected by Matthew's obsessive fans years ago, she survived. However, she was left mentally incapacitated and was sometimes lucid for only a few hours.Matthew was loyal, taking it upon himself to c
Chandler's appearance wasn't anything mysterious or an extraordinary entrance.It was filled with the usual beauty and romance of a typical wedding.After reaching Erin, he knelt on one knee with a face full of happiness, opened the ring box with both hands and looked up at her.He asked, "Erin, will you marry me again?"Erin's heart was filled with joy as she asked jokingly, "If I refuse, will you force me into a wedding dress and marry you?"He replied firmly, "Yes!""Since I have no choice, I suppose I must agree," she said with a smile. Erin extended her hand for Chandler to slide the engagement ring onto her finger."You will be Mrs. Frost for the rest of your life! Don't even think about escaping!" Chandler exclaimed."Ah, I won't run. I am willing to be a happy prisoner," Erin said self-deprecatingly.Ryder rolled his eyes, his expression full of sourness.Kylan caught his expression and patted his shoulder without saying a word.As Erin put on the ring, everyone pres
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again as Enny started doing Erin's makeup."I'll get it, Mom. You stay seated, okay?" Enny said."Fine, Mommy won't move." Erin winked at her. Seconds later, Enny shouted, "Godfather!""Enny! You look so beautiful!" The joy in the man's voice was palpable.Erin stood up and walked to the living room, knowing Sean had arrived.By then, Sean and another man had already entered.They closed the door behind them."Erin, I've brought a makeup artist for you," Sean said with a slight smile.The man beside him bowed politely to her. "Hello, Ms. Lane!""Maya, your male disguise is a total failure. You just slapped on some rough makeup without even wearing a realistic mask. You don't look like a man at all," Erin teased with a laugh.Maya couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Frost's security measures are too strict. If I had worn a stranger's male mask, I wouldn't have been allowed in, and I would have been detained.""Why go through all the trouble o
Meanwhile, Erin had just gone to open the door of her hotel room.To her surprise, the person at the door was Roman."Rom! It's really you!" Erin exclaimed with joy. Dressed in a tailored white suit, Roman held a bouquet and joked, "Do you need to check my face to make sure I'm not wearing a mask?""Haha! I know it's you! Come in and let's talk. Thank you for the flowers!" Erin took the bouquet he offered and invited him inside.A minute later, Roman was sitting on the couch.He looked out to the underwater world from the floor-to-ceiling windows and remarked, "Enny and Eddie must really love this room.""Yes, the kids could watch it all night. Chandler specifically chose this type of room for the children," Erin explained.As Erin placed the fresh flowers in a vase, Roman inquired, "Where's Chandler?"Erin replied, "You should know what he's busy with, right?"Roman's gaze turned indecipherable, his tone probing as he asked, "You already know?"Erin laughed. "Yes. Did it d
Jill naturally denied it when she heard the question. "We didn't expose anything! Erin just happened to see us. What could we do? Pretend we don't know her? That's not realistic at all!""Did you really say nothing?" Ryder asked doubtfully.Calix was also skeptical as he questioned, "Erin is so sharp, and both of your acting skills are so poor. She must have figured it out."Tina exclaimed defensively, "We really didn't say anything! You two are so annoying! I'm dying of thirst here! Jill, hurry up and open the door. We can talk inside.""Yeah, I'm thirsty too," Jill echoed. She took out her room card, swiped it, and opened the door.The two women were about to close the door when Ryder stopped it with his hand. He asked, "What are you doing, not letting us in?""What are you coming in for? Don't you have your own room? Go away, we're going to take a nap!" Jill said grumpily."Taking a nap at this hour? Are you two pigs? The rehearsal is about to start," Ryder pointed out."W
