“Um…”Ninian looked at Everett as she tried to explain the situation to him. Instead of looking at her, he was looking at the florist. At that moment, the florist was in a daze as he stammered, “A-Are you sure? Are you really going to pay me ten times more?”Everett frowned. His expression was as cold as ice. He said, “I’ll give you twenty times more if you clear this up in five minutes. I’ll deduct for every one-second delay.”The florist quickly perked up. He immediately ordered people to clear up the flowers. They were quick as a flash.“Wait for a second,” Everett said. The florist suddenly tensed up, afraid that Everett changed his mind.Everett then said, “As for the flowers, throw them into a bin far from here.”The florist let out a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and assured him, “Don’t worry, sir! I’ll make sure they disappear completely.”In just five minutes, the bunch of roses was gone. Not even a piece of leaf remained in sight. Zayn sent an assistant
“Honey, if you keep ignoring me, I’ll have to sit on your lap,” Ninian said with a smile. Everett stopped typing for a moment as his hands tensed up. She was amused when she saw him still pretending to be calm. She blinked and snuggled up to him regardless. His body instantly tensed up.She stretched out her hands and hooked them around his neck and said, “You’re still ignoring me, huh? I guess I’ll have to kiss you.”He pursed his lips and stayed still. He gulped, as his Adam’s apple moved up and down. Ninian’s eyes lit up when her keen eyes and hearing caught this. “Ha!” She narrowed her eyes, as if she had discovered some secret. “Did you ignore me on purpose, just so I’ll sit on your lap and kiss you? Hmph! Dream on!”She acted as if she was about to stand up as she said this.Everett hooked his arms around her waist, not wanting her to leave. She finally exposed his true intention. She looked at him and said with a smile, “I knew it, you were doing that on purpose!
When Everett mentioned this, Ninian scrunched her nose.“Do let me know if you find out anything about it.”“Why?” He looked at her as he narrowed his eyes and said, “You want to meet your guardian angel, right?”“Pfft, what?!” She laughed and said, “I want to beat him to a pulp.”‘His flamboyant actions can easily cause me more harm than good.’“Oh, yes.” She said, “Please keep an eye on the netizen’s comments. Make sure they don’t reach my family.”He nodded. He suddenly jerked a little and his eyes narrowed a little. Ninian was sharp and caught his change of reaction. She asked, “What happened?”“That’s strange.” He said, “The entertainment news about you has been suppressed. The incident earlier isn’t trending at all.”“That’s good news, right?” She was puzzled, “Does that mean things are still under control?”“This might not be the case.” He said, “I think this is your second brother’s doing. I guess he has found out about me.”Ninian’s expression instantly darkened. S
Harold opened the door. Many reporters were standing in front of the door. They took countless photos of him with their cameras. “You’re the legendary Winters sibling, aren’t you? Are you the second-eldest sibling?”“Mr. Winters, are you meeting someone here? Do you mind disclosing who you’re dating?”“There are so many roses outside here. Did your partner send them to you?”“There are a lot of people who want to date you. When will the mysterious woman reveal herself?”So many questions were thrown at Harold, making him dizzy. Luckily, he had experience in handling this kind of situation before. His gaze darkened and showed a contemptuous expression. He raised his hand and shoved the camera closest to him away as he narrowed his eyes. He then said coldly, “Who sent you here? Get out, now!”The atmosphere instantly tensed up when he spoke. The chaotic scene finally quietened down. A particularly bold reporter said, “Mr. Winters, we just want to ask you some questions.
The phone rang for a long time, but Harold did not dare pick it up.In the end, he had no other choice. He closed his eyes, picked up the call, and answered while stuttering, “G-George…”The person on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment before she chuckled in a clear and pleasant way. “What’s wrong with you, Harold?”When he heard the familiar voice, Harold’s eyes flew open in disbelief. “Grapie? Why did you call?”‘George didn’t call me? Why was I panicking, then?’“Yeah. It’s me. Didn’t you see the caller ID?” Ninian’s sweet voice traveled over. It was laced with amusement. Harold’s face instantly turned red. He felt awkward. The reporters whom he ignored still surrounded him. Harold waved his hand at them to chase them away. “Go. Shoo!”As he spoke, he started ordering the hotel staff, “Get rid of all the flowers. They’re embarrassing!”Once he said that, he returned to the suite and slammed the door shut. The reporters looked at each other at a loss ou
“Hmph. I don’t need his suggestion,” Harold acted tough and said, “But you can pass him the phone. Let him tell me his thoughts. Perhaps I can even give him guidance.”Ninian could only smile in resignation. Her watery eyes shone brightly. She looked toward Everett with a cocked eyebrow, as if she was asking for his opinion. Everett nodded and took the phone. “Hello, Harold.”“Who gave you permission to call me by my name?! Keep your distance. NONE OF US are close to you!” When Harold said the words “none of us”, he even stressed them to imply what exactly he was thinking. Ninian did not know whether she should laugh or cry when she heard this. Thankfully, Everett did not care about such details. He looked as level-headed and handsome as ever. His voice was also very calm. “Hello, Young Master Harold.” Everett went along with the flow and changed how he referred to Harold. He continued, “I heard that you’ve been researching nanometer medical technology lately, and I have some
“Alright, I was just joking. You don’t have to be so serious about it.” Ninian pinched his cheek and said, “Smile for me.”Everett gave her a resigned look, but there was doting affection in his eyes. “What are your plans for your work in the future?”“Plans…” Ninian tilted her head and scrunched up her eyebrows. “Honestly, I don’t have a goal right now. I joined the entertainment industry to get closer to you, and I achieved my goal. I feel a little lost as to what I should do next. In fact, I’m wondering whether I should continue staying in the entertainment industry.”“...I understand.” Everett remained silent for a while before he said, “You don’t have to come to a decision now. You still have time. You can figure out what you want to do and take your time making your choice.”Ninian nodded. “Alright.”After she finished filming, to her surprise, Everett drove her to the downtown area. Every time they went out together in the past, they went to places that provided secrecy
Everett raised his eyebrows and softly asked, “What’s wrong?”“Um…” Ninian glanced outside and said, “This place is too eye-catching.”She stopped talking for a while before she resumed, “You’re too attractive!”She initially thought they could easily come to a lively place to have a meal and take a walk like a normal couple.But she was already so jealous before even having the meal.“I smell jealousy.” Everett quirked his eyebrows and said, “Babe, do you smell it?”“I’m not…” Ninian was a little embarrassed. She blushed, but she still sat up boldly and confidently. Her flushed face looked slightly overbearing. “I don’t care. My boyfriend can’t be seen by other people. Let’s go to a private room.”Everett took off his gloves. After he used a wet tissue to wipe off his long, slender fingers, he smiled and tousled her hair. “Let’s do what you say.”He took out his phone. Just as he was about to call and make an arrangement, those teenagers who passed by outside suddenly walked i
