The event venue was in Newcove, a four-hour drive from Westine.Micah was the driver, while Sandra headed there alone without an assistant. As a model, Sandra was relatively well-known in the industry. She was often invited to attend fashion week events worldwide, making her a rising star in the modeling world. This time, she was participating in a variety show that her agency had arranged. The production team invited ten guests to Newcove to shoot a five-day, four-night variety show. Sandra was the least renowned among the guests. Her agency had sent her to increase her fame. With her status, she did not need to have a bodyguard. However, she heard rumors about the director making advances toward female guests. Sandra was worried she would be taken advantage of, so she spent considerable money to hire a bodyguard to accompany her. Along the way, Sandra joyfully chatted with Micah. Even though he was not very talkative, he would chime in occasionally to keep the conver
Suddenly, Chelsey received a call from Shannon. "Chelsey, are you free tomorrow night? Let's have dinner together. I'd like to introduce my boyfriend and thank you for helping me move on."Shannon was unaware that something had happened to Lucas. Nevertheless, Chelsey decided to keep it from her.After a moment's silence, Chelsey agreed, "Yes, I'm free. Send me the time and place.""Alright, I'll send them to you in a while," replied Shannon. Judging from Shannon's cheerful tone, Chelsey could tell that the bliss of love enveloped her. Chelsey felt happy for her. She thought that one could only find happiness by being true to oneself.…The following day, Chelsey went to the appointment alone. The dining place was an upscale vegetarian restaurant adorned with classic and elegant decorations.Many of the dishes featured herbal elements, and it was a favorite spot among the upper-class society. Chelsey met the radiant Shannon and the mature but reserved Tobias in the quai
After dinner, the trio had dessert together.As an outgoing person, Shannon talked a lot. Most of the time, Chelsey and Tobias were merely listeners. Meanwhile, Tobias' gaze lingered on Chelsey, sparing little time to look at Shannon.Shannon noticed it and felt uncomfortable.After seeing off Chelsey, Shannon held Tobias' hand and said meaningfully, "Chelsey is pretty, isn't she?""Indeed, she is," Tobias admitted.But apart from Chelsey's beauty, there was something else he wanted from her. Tobias' interest in her intensified.Shannon was even more upset after hearing her boyfriend praise another woman. She pouted and remarked, "Don't you know you shouldn't compliment another woman in front of your girlfriend?"Tobias' arm encircled Shannon's slender waist. He leaned in, his lips brushing against her ear, and his warm breath tingling her as he asked, "Are you jealous?" "Yes, I am jealous. From now on, you're not allowed to praise other women."While saying that, Shann
Shannon frequented luxury boutiques. Thus, she was well aware of Civi Group. She could not believe her ears. "A-Are you serious? Tobias is the owner of Civi Group?" Chelsey answered, "Yes, I'm not lying. To tell you the truth, I was quite surprised when I saw him earlier. You're gorgeous, have a great figure, and are talented. You and Tobias are truly a perfect match."Shannon was on cloud nine after Chelsey praised her. She had already started to imagine herself attending various fashion week events with Tobias. She pictured herself becoming the darling of the fashion world.The suddenness of this pleasant surprise caught Shannon off guard.Although she was brimming with joy deep down, she remained modest in her words. "Oh, come on. I'm not as great as you said. I didn't even know Tobias was so capable. I thought he was just a regular rich man."But an ordinary wealthy person could not afford a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Chelsey couldn't care less if Shannon was after Tobias
Micah formally replied, "It's okay. I don't need to rest. I'll stand guard outside your door.""But I feel bad…" Sandra tried not to sound too eager and added, "You can protect me inside the room, too.""Okay."Micah was not interested in people from the entertainment industry, especially models like Sandra, who relied on their looks and sex appeal. He believed that no matter how attractive they looked or how great their figures were, they were merely playthings for the rich. Micah's ideal type was someone like Chelsey—quiet but talented. After taking her room card, Micah followed Sandra upstairs. When they arrived at the room, he stayed true to his words and stood guard outside the door.Sandra was guilty. She gracefully leaned against the door and gazed at Micah affectionately before saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cruz.""Don't worry about it. I'm here for work, not a vacation. You should go in, Ms. Scott. Don't worry, and have a good rest. I'll ensure you're safe," Micah r
Micah's shirt was soaked. As their bodies pressed tightly together, he could feel Sandra's softness.He refrained from looking down, but a blinding white blur remained within his peripheral vision. Micah suppressed his body's instinctive reaction and remained silent as he swam toward the pool's edge with Sandra in his arms. Sandra, on the other hand, deliberately struggled. Her legs also occasionally brushed against places they should not. Sandra blushed as she felt Micah's robust physique, her heart racing. She wished she could drag him into her room immediately and devour him completely. Wearing an icy expression, Micah brought Sandra to the pool's edge to let her climb out herself.However, she sat there and said coyly, "My leg still hurts. I can't walk."Without saying another word, he lifted her up and placed her on a lounge chair. Micah even thoughtfully brought Sandra a towel.She wrapped herself in the towel as Micah crouched down, asking in a low voice, "Which le
After swimming, Sandra returned to her room and excitedly called Chelsey. "He truly is innocent! His ears turned red when he saw me in swimwear. Haha! I'm starting to like him more. I must win his heart over!" Sandra declared. Chelsey chuckled. "Don't be too eager and scare him off. Be more reserved, alright?""Why didn't you remind me earlier?" Sandra sighed and added, "I went swimming this afternoon and pretended to drown."I manage to trick him into getting in the pool. But in the end, he was almost going to end the contract and leave because of my advances."Fortunately, I was smart enough to say I was simply evaluating his character. So, I managed to convince him to stay and continue protecting me."I think he's still a virgin. Do you believe it?"Chelsey found Sandra's antics amusing."You've only known Micah for a short time, and you've already figured out if he's a virgin, huh?"Sandra giggled with the phone in her hand before replying, "Don't you know who I am?
Sandra thought the production team was overly frugal. How could they expect anyone to eat just a few pieces of vegetables and a small portion of shredded carrots?Although she needed to maintain her figure, eating only vegetables would not give her energy.Sandra closed the box and ordered takeout on her phone. She wanted to eat crawfish, steak bites, grilled oysters, and grilled lamb chops. After ordering the food, she opened the door to find Micah eating the boxed meal. Sandra furrowed her brows, snatched away the food, and threw it in the trash. "Don't eat that," she said.Micah glared at her and questioned, "Are you out of your mind?" He was eating just fine, but she snatched it away and threw it out.Worried that Micah might get angry, Sandra awkwardly explained, "I've ordered takeout. Let's eat together later. "The food prepared by the production team is terrible. It's so bland. No one will feel full after eating it."Micah withdrew his gaze, replying indifferently
