It was very hard to imagine that a young master like Henry Armstrong, who’d never cooked before, would be willing to try cooking for Georgie Clementine.Georgie was now slowly able to picture Henry clumsily holding a spatula and a pan while he fried eggs.In her mind, his clumsy appearance was even a little adorable.“Do you have anything like burn cream in the house?” Georgie asked calmly.“Yeah… But I heard there’s a very effective way to treat a burn,” Henry said.“What is it?” Georgie asked.“That’s… Getting the woman one loves to kiss it,” Henry said.Georgie didn’t say anything.This fellow couldn’t stay serious for more than two seconds. Georgie was feeling a little speechless. “Are you completely shameless?”After saying that, Georgie couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at Henry again.However, Henry started to laugh—After that, he ruffled her hair affectionately. “Georgie… Tell me, why are you so pretty? Hmm?”Georgie remained silent..“Tell me, why do I love you so
In fact, there were even burned prawns…Georgie Clementine was speechless.This truly was the first time in her life she’d seen a scene like this.Right then, Henry Armstrong walked over.When he saw this scene, he instantly coughed awkwardly. After that, he looked at Georgie. “About that… What… Let’s ignore these details… Come with me to the dining room,” he said.Georgie nodded before following Henry into the dining room next door.The dining room was huge.There were French windows on all four sides.From where Georgie stood, she could see the lush greenery in the courtyard.The lively and vibrant view put her in a great mood.In the center of the dining room was a large, round, European-style, grayish dining table.There was a pile of fried eggs on the table…There were also two sets of salad… As well as a set of sandwiches.Although the fried eggs had tiny traces of being burned, they still looked somewhat edible…Meanwhile, the salad seemed rather appetizing. As for
“Hello, Miss Georgie, I’ve decided on casting Josh Batton as the male lead in my new movie.”It was a WeChat message from Garry Herrman.Last night, he clearly said a few excellent male actors were being considered. He said he needed more time to select someone.Why did he immediately change his mind today?Did the other actors all fail the screening test?Regardless of everything else, Georgie was still very excited to see this message. She instantly replied to it. “Alright. Thank you, Director Herrman. Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Josh gets prepared.”“Okay. I’ll send the script to Josh later. We’ll start filming on the thirtieth next month,” Garry replied.“Okay…” Georgie wrote.Georgie felt genuinely happy that she was able to grab such a good opportunity for Josh Batton.At this moment, she couldn’t help but smile.“Why are you smiling?” Henry asked.“Nothing…” Georgie chuckled. She didn’t want to tell Henry Armstrong too much.Henry looked at Georgie deeply before lowe
Xyla Quest immediately stood up and walked up to Louise Amherst to shake her hand. They then introduced themselves to each other.After that, they cut to the chase.Xyla led Louise over to the coffee table nearby and sat down.Xyla sat on the long couch, while Louise sat on the single couch nearby.After that, Louise equipped an infinite-length lavalier microphone on Xyla and herself…Once they had equipped the microphones, and the videographers set up their cameras, the interview officially began…The two smiled, shook each other’s hand, and greeted each other once again in front of the camera.After that, Louise started saying a bunch of opening remarks.Once she was done, she started asking the questions she had prepared—“Based on what I know, Miss Quest, you’re only twenty-two. Your father has already entrusted the company to you at such a young age. Do you feel pressured?” Louise asked.“Hmm, to be honest, it’s not too bad… Certainly, I do feel some pressure. After all,
The person who arrived was none other than Stanley Batton.He was wearing a black shirt with a matching pair of black pants.Without a necktie on, the three buttons below his collar were also casually left unbuttoned. His sleeves were rolled slightly up to his elbows.He appeared casual with a tinge of laziness.Although it was an ordinary outfit, Stanley made it look unusually noble.There was a large bouquet of roses in his right hand.No matter how good the roses looked, they still couldn’t compare to one-ten-thousandth of the man’s good looks.The moment Louise Amherst saw Stanley Batton, she and the three male videographers were all stunned.Even the three heterosexual men couldn’t resist the charm of Stanley’s good looks…The three videographers subconsciously pointed their cameras at Stanley.Louise didn’t think she’d have this unexpected reward from interviewing Xyla Quest today.Louise was able to bump into Stanley, someone who never did any interviews!Stanley loo
After approximately an hour, Xyla Quest’s interview ended.Louise Amherst and the others reluctantly left Xyla’s office.Meanwhile, Xyla let out a long sigh as if she were finally relieved of a huge burden.In the past hour or so, she had answered so many questions. Now, her mouth and tongue felt parched, and her throat was scratchy.Xyla opened a bottle of Evian’s and took a sip before walking over to Stanley Batton. Naturally, she sat on his lap and grabbed his phone to look at it. “What are you looking at? I saw you looking at your phone the entire time I was doing the interview…”It was a photo of Xyla on the phone screen.He seemed to have taken it when she was sleeping at some point.It was taken from the side. Moreover, it was taken as a close-up photo. However, she still looked very good in it.Even without a beautifying filter, her skin still seemed flawless, and her facial features were exquisite.Xyla looked like a little fairy who had fallen asleep.Irrevocably, t
“Shocking! Countless months ago, the firework that went on for the entire night at Rosales Manor was actually Stanley Batton’s doing!”The content of today’s interview came out so soon. Xyla honestly didn’t expect that…This news was published by Weibo News…When Xyla saw this, she instantly tapped on the link.A large paragraph came into sight. In summary, it mentioned how Xyla revealed the firework incident at Rosales Manor during her magazine interview with Business Forefront…Right after that, Xyla saw a video clip of Louise Amherst interviewing her further below that was just published by Business Forefront and forwarded by Weibo News.This was a video of Xyla mentioning that Stanley Batton was the one who put on the fireworks at Rosales Manor.Business Forefront’s Weibo post had only been published less than a minute ago, but there were already over 100,000 shares, likes, and comments.Xyla instantly tapped on the comment section to have a look…The first line was a comm
When Xyla Quest heard Adam Shaw’s name, she instantly looked in the direction of the noise…Adjacent from her, in front of a Dior cosmetics store, was a couple.The man was Adam, while the woman was his girlfriend.Now, Adam no longer seemed to be in high spirits as he did before. He’d lost a lot of weight, and he had tired eyes.Adam was very particular about how he dressed up, but now he didn’t even care anymore.The black shirt he was wearing was already turning white from being over washed, and the light-blue jeans he wore looked the same.Xyla was truly curious about what happened to him.Meanwhile, his girlfriend still dressed up in the same way she did before. She was wearing branded items from head to toe.The red Hermes purse she was holding already cost several hundred thousand on its own…The man before Xyla, Adam, was her savior.On a fateful night, when Tom Sullivan and Emily Quest bullied her, Adam was the one who saved her. Moreover, he led her to find her mast
Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft
“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while
Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e
Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif
Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o
Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.
A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired
Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes
Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
