Levian's subtext was unmistakable. He felt that none of this was Christopher's business. He should get lost!His tolerance for Christopher was non-existent, and he was convinced that the latter was up to no good.Furthermore, he believed that this man had come to his senses, realized that his sister was a catch and now trying to rekindle a lost flame that he had not valued before. Nice try! But that was not going to happen.Instantly, Luke stepped forward, trying to pull Levian's hand away deftly.But before Luke could intercede, Christopher promptly countered. He brushed Levian's hand off, maintaining a stoic face and not registering any anguish in his look.He remarked in a cold tone, "You shouldn't worry about that."Levian withdrew his hand with a snort."Mr. Bolton, you can't be serious. It's not you that I am concerned about. My sister's just too kind-hearted and tends to look after everyone. I'm just making sure she doesn't wear herself out. You're not that delicate, I pr
The assumption perplexed Melody. "What made you think that?"Levian lounged on the sofa and grinned lazily."You can't blame me for overthinking it. Irwin claimed that you have taken a liking to the man he brought over yesterday in a hurry. Isn't that a new love interest?"With a playful lift of his brows, he teased, "No need to keep secrets. We're all grown-ups here. You have my full support, and I'm all for enjoying life to the fullest!"Melody was stumped by his words."You've misunderstood," she claimed blankly, taking a drink of the tea offered by the butler. "I just wanted to help him realize his full artistic potential since I think he's got it. That's it.""What?" Levian looked disappointed and checked again. "So, he's not a romantic interest?"He had been rooting for Melody to move on and to begin showing interest in other men.Andrew had been silent for a while and then said something out of the blue. His tone was gentle, but his words carried weight. He rem
Caught off guard by his boss's abrupt shift in topic, Luke quickly regretted overstepping his bounds by giving that counsel.Awkwardly, he confessed, "Not yet, sir.""You're so free?" Christopher gave him an intense stare and warned, "You have five days left of the one-week deadline."The admonishment left Luke feeling like a lump was stuck in his throat.Could there be anyone more miserable than him, he pondered? He was reprimanded for his concern over his boss's personal life. Why was his life so bitter?Of course, he dared not let his frustration show.Luke closed his eyes for a time before cautiously proposing, "I'll investigate the whereabouts of the miracle doctor. In the meantime, maybe you'd like to examine her photograph?"Facing Christopher's critical glance, he quickly patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'll start going through the surveillance footage right away and give you an answer before the deadline!"Christopher was silent, yet the mention of the phot
"Talia is causing a commotion on our company's roof, threatening to jump! There's already a crowd below discussing this fervently."Melody's brow creased in response to the news.She wondered what lunacy had infected Talia to make her want to cause havoc at her office."Have the police been informed?""Yes, they're on the scene now."Something hit Melody, and she ordered sternly, "Call Christopher to come and take her away!"Jenson seemed disturbed as he said, "She specifically asked for you. The police have asked for your cooperation in going up to the rooftop."Leroy had never encountered anything like this before. He was visibly bewildered. "What's all this...?"Albert, now on alert, recalled that Talia was the same person who had tried to humiliate Melody before. As a result of her defeat, she resorted to throwing a tantrum.He proposed, "She has the nerve to come here? Mel, I'll accompany you.""No, you two stay out of this. Besides, with the police already there, it w
Olivia was putting on a face mask. Her face was covered in white cream as she swiveled her head toward Natasha and asked, "Oh? What's the good news?" Her eyes zeroed in on the headline glaring from the screen. There was a news article titled "The Hidden Story Behind Nolan Enterprise's President Ending Up as a Mistress."The comment section beneath buzzed with nearly everyone chastising Melody for having questionable ethics."Wasn't this woman lauded for her independence? But she's involved in this sort of thing secretly!""I always thought those images of her were fake. She looked like a temptress, and now she's exposed as one!""Urgh! Being a mistress is low! I hope her company crumbles!"Olivia took a close look at the picture released by the media. The person dramatically threatening to leap from the building was none other than Talia!"Wow, this cheap slut has finally met her downfall!" Olivia detested Talia, but she was content as long as it made Melody's life difficult.
As Jenson made a move to assist, Christopher swiftly bypassed Talia and caught Melody in his embrace, preventing her fall.His timely intervention spared her from any harm.The warm embrace made Melody feel momentarily disoriented. The scent of his cologne was a comforting presence, and it surprisingly settled the turmoil within her.Talia watched Christopher's tender and gentle treatment of Melody. It was an eyesore and a sight that filled her with vexation.She sprung to her feet, crying out, "Chris! Why are you holding this slut? Why protect her? You vowed to always be my guardian! Have you forgotten your promise to me?"As if struck by lightning, Talia's accusatory plea jolted Melody into her senses.This man, usually so composed and stern, had made such a profound commitment. Talia seemed to retain an enduring, innocent love in his heart. No matter her actions, she was always favored by him.Recalling Christopher's instinctive gesture of protection toward her, Melody wanted
The crisis management team at Nolan Enterprise wasted no time in springing into action. Meanwhile, Albert was on the move as well. He reached out to a public relations firm he trusted to scrub the negative comments and sway public sentiment back in their favor. - After leaving the rooftop debacle behind, Christopher found himself stepping into the elevator. He was meant to exit on the ground floor, yet he found himself impulsively hitting the button for the ninth. As the elevator doors slid open, he was brought back to his senses. Compelled by an inexplicable urgency, he needed to see Melody. He could not rationalize the impulse, but his instincts pushed him to act. Striding down the hallway with his imposing height and lengthy strides, it only took him moments to reach the office corridor. That was when his pace halted. The realization hit him that he might remember the floor, but he was unsure about its layout. With three complex corridors spanning the vast floor, he
A glint of crafty brilliance flashed through Talia's eyes. "We didn't really know each other before this," she said. "Simply put, she developed a crush on my partner. And I can't believe she has no sense of decency about what she did." The video sparked a massive internet frenzy as soon as it was uploaded. "Since this woman has gone public with her claims, surely they must be true." "She comes from money, and yet she has no morals at all! Stealing boyfriends from others?" "How revolting? Is anyone exposing her?" - The harsh comments flooding the internet overwhelmed all of the PR staff. These words stung Albert's eyes. His anger was uncontrollable, as the most precious woman to him was being slandered and soiled. "Damn it! I'm on my way to see her right now." Melody stopped him with a nonchalant wave of her hand and said, "Nah, you don't have to do that." Since she already had the crucial pieces of evidence in hand, she was confident she was capable of handling the
Luna nodded solemnly.Levian smiled, and rubbed her head. "Thanks for considering. I appreciate it."He took out his phone, and typed something.Luna watched curiously, and leaned forward to take a look. She was stunned when she saw that he had posted their photo on Facebook.She said quickly, "Delete it before they see it!"She regretted telling him that.Levian put the phone back into his pocket, and hugged her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry."Luna understood his intentions, and said nothing."I promised you I'll never let you down. That's not the reason for you to be my secret lover. I don't have to please my fans. I'm rich. I'm a professional racer, not a gigolo."Levian words sounded so sincere, Luna was touched. She raised her head to look at him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.Levian was stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled. "You amaze me, Luna.""Huh?" Luna looked at him confusedly."You’re brave enough to kiss me now."She blush
The sales assistant grabbed the old lady’s hand, and demanded, "You must pay for this dress!"Levian grabbed the sales assistant's wrist, and threw her to the side. The sales assistant staggered a few steps away due to the force."That’s not how you should talk to an elder."Luna stood before the old lady, and looked at the sales assistant coldly.The commotion attracted the crowd. The sales assistant looked panicky."It’s none of your business!" the sales assistant yelled, staring angrily at Luna and Levian.Luna blocked the old lady from the sales assistant's sight.The sales assistant observed them, and said sarcastically, "Tourists, huh? Mind your own business."Levian stared coldly at her. The sales assistant was frightened by Levian’s gaze."It seems your parents didn't teach you good manners. I don't mind teaching you today," he said coldly.The sales assistant shuddered. She had seen all kinds of people in the store, and could feel the pressuring aura of Levian.Her
Luna and Levian saw him, and smiled.After noticing their gaze, McCain's expression returned to normal. He walked toward them casually."Luna, did you sleep well last night?" he asked with a gentle smile.Luna was disgusted by his smile, and responded coldly, "Yeah."Levian grinned playfully, and said, "How about you? You looked tired."McCain’s smile froze. He looked a little panicky, and made an excuse to leave. "It's almost time. Let's find our seats."He left quickly afterward.Luna stared at him coldly. McCain looked weird to her."Why are you staring at him? Charmed?" Levian asked. He seemed jealous.Luna looked at Levian, and smiled, "Yeah, by you."Levian’s smile widened.McCain left the building and called Matt, but Matt didn’t answer. He gripped the phone, tightly and cursed under his breath.-A spotlight shone on a man, who walked to the stage under applause.Luna also clapped."That’s Gerald Bell, the president of Bell Group, the leading Group in Franconia,"
Luna opened the door, and saw Levian leaning against the door frame with a helpless expression."What's wrong?"Levian shrugged. "The door lock of the smaller bedroom is broken. I can't get in."Luna glanced at the smaller bedroom, then looked at Levian suspiciously. "You didn't break it, right?"Levian immediately retorted, "Of course not!"Luna stared at him doubtfully.Levian touched his nose, and said in disappointment, "I'll take the sofa, then."Luna pondered, and whispered, "The master bedroom is enough for both of us."She couldn’t bear to let Levian sleep on the sofa in the living room. Besides, she trusted him.Levian smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead. "Thanks, Luna."Luna blushed, and her heartbeat accelerated. She was curious, how did Levian know that?Levian put his arm on Luna's shoulders, and entered the master bedroom."You go take a shower first," he offered."Okay."Luna walked to the bathroom with her clothes. Not long after, the sound o
Benito looked at Juan, and winked at his subordinates. His subordinates walked toward the Hellers."I want to know who sent them," Benito commanded in a deep voice.The Hellers were terrified, and spilled everything.One of Benito's subordinates walked to Benito. He nodded politely to Levian, and reported in a low voice, "A man named McCain sent them."Levian's expression changed.He knew it!"What should we do with them?" Benito's subordinate asked.Benito looked at Levian, and asked, "Levian, what do you say? I can keep McCain under custody.""Teach them a lesson, and make them cooperate," Levian said with a dangerous grin. "As for McCain, I have a plan for him."He looked at Luna in the car. McCain would never take the risk if he actually had feelings for Luna and cared for her. He wondered if he was McCain's target, or if this had something to do with the business summit."Okay," Benito said. He turned around and commanded his subordinates, "Take care of them and make the
The cemetery was ahead."Levy, they slowed down," Luna said. She frowned, confused.Levian quickly turned the steering wheel, and made an emergency 180-degree turn.Luna quickly grabbed her seat belt and closed her eyes after seeing the bright lights from the car tailing them. She then looked at Levian in confusion, wondering what he was up to.She was terrified when she saw Levian drive toward that car. They were going to collide! Suddenly, she heard a sharp friction sound, and both cars passed by each other.Levian turned the steering wheel again and circled around that car.He smiled and assured Luna, "Don't be afraid, Luna. Everything will be fine. Trust me."Immediately, Luna was calm.The driver of the car tailing them seemed irritated by Levian's provocation; he sped up, and tried to slam into their car.Levian grinned; he sped up as well, and drove away from that car.The driver seemed to realize something; he quickly slowed down, and turned around to drive out of the
Luna carefully poked Levian's arm.He grabbed her hand, and quickly pulled her toward him, "I'm your boyfriend."He gritted his teeth. No one knew how much he wanted to punch McCain when he saw that slimeball approaching Luna.Luna grinned, amused. "He's just a friend. You're my sweetheart."Levian was the best! No one deserved her attention except him.Hearing that, Levian was pleased and smiled. He put his hand against Luna's palm, their fingers intertwined.The driver suddenly braked when passing through an alley, and their bodies leaned forward."What happened?" Luna asked. She looked anxiously at Matt, the local driver she and Levian hired."Something ran through just now," Matt explained while unbuckling his seat belt. "I wonder what that was."He left the car and walked around.Luna heard a meowing, and saw a black cat pass by. She pointed in the direction, and asked, "Was it that cat?"Matt looked in the direction of her finger. "I don't see any cat. Probably a stray
Levian looked handsome and gentle under the spotlight. He took the microphone, and said slowly, "It's my honor to deliver my speech today. This summit brings together business talents from all over the world..."Levian kept his eyes on Luna as he spoke, and she concentrated on his speech.They noticed each other's gaze, and smiled.McCain tried to chat with Luna but noticed her gaze. He bit his lip, jealous. He quickly took his phone, and showed it to Luna, "Hey, Luna, I found the emails."Luna was too focused on Levian's speech, so McCain’s interruption annoyed her. She grabbed it, and read the emails. While Luna was reading the email, McCain looked at Levian and smirked. Levian's expression changed, and he spoke faster.Luna briefly read two emails. They were McCain's remarks about music, and how much he missed her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t find any confession.Still, she was a bit moved by the memories. She returned the phone to McCain, and said, "Than
Levian and Luna turned around, and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes."You look so beautiful today! It took me a while to recognize you."He observed Luna as he spoke.Luna frowned, uncomfortable with his gaze, and asked politely, "Do you know me?"That man was a stranger to her."Oh, don't you remember me?" The man clutched his chest as if he was hurt, and sighed. "I'm McCain. We were in the same music camp for three months, when you were seventeen."Luna thought for a while, and finally remembered him. She nodded, and smiled politely. "Oh, yes. It’s nice to meet you again.""I'm so glad I come. It's good to see you again." McCain smiled happily.Levian stared at McCain with a frightening expression that hinted at anger.Music camp, huh?He could sense McCain's intention.Luna noticed Levian's expression, and said to McCain politely, "The party is about to start. Let's take our seats."She wanted to leave, but McCain blocked her way. "I missed you so much. I l
