Yvie laughed and whipped out her phone to call a man named Kevin Quinn. As soon as her call was answered, she purred sweetly, "Oh, Mr. Quinn. Can't you call me just because I wasn't calling? It hurts, you know…"A middle-aged man's voice boomed over the phone. "What are you saying? I've been busy at work—I'll give you proper love once I'm free.""Busy with what? That project with Nolan Enterprise and Bolton Enterprise?" Yvie asked innocently like a teenager even though she could be a mother at her age.It certainly creeped Talia out…Nonetheless, Kevin was completely unconcerned. "Exactly. Working with two corporate giants at the same time is leaving me burnt out. If only you were here with me, and that special massage of yours…"He trailed off meaningfully, and Yvie rolled her eyes since she could read between the lines.She had met him through sheer coincidence, and only stayed in touch with the man after their fling because she thought him influential. Despite his gentlemanl
Even Kevin was inwardly scoffing at Yvie for overestimating her abilities.Did she really understand that Christopher was the type of man who had encountered every form of beauty? He would never fall for some mere pretty face!Bringing her back to attention, he looked around to see that there was plenty of food around the table, but all the wine glasses were empty."Apologies," he said, chagrined. "It seems we've run out of wine. I'll order some right away."Wanda quickly volunteered with impeccable timing, saying, "Oh! I was just heading to the washroom—I could go ask for some. We can't keep our guests waiting, right?"Kevin nodded, surprised that Yvie's niece was that tactful. "Sure, go on.""Excuse me, Mr. Bolton and Ms. Nolan. I'll be right back," she said.She left without issue since no one was actually paying her any attention. As she gently closed the door, she headed to the kitchen as arranged instead of the washroom or the waiter's station…At the same time, Kevin did
Before Melody could react, she felt a familiar pair of lips on her, and she instinctively pushed him away.However, Christopher's body was boiling as he urgently seeked her. Melody did not dislike that faint, familiar sweet scent he had, and they were soon earnestly in each other's arms.From violent spit-swapping to weighted nibbling, the experience was perfect for either of them.As Melody's scrunchie loosened and freed her hair, the man lovingly held it in his palm and sniffed it."Melody… Melody…" he murmured, her tenderness easing the fire in his body.All those days of wistfulness… and finally, release.Numbed by alcohol, Melody let go of all her worries just then and wrapped her arms around his muscular neck…It was a long night beneath the gentle moon.-Melody had no idea what time she fell asleep, only that her hips were sore and she felt like a truck had run over her.The morning light was a little blinding, and she turned around with much difficulty when she final
Talia saw stars from the slap and almost lost her footing, but Natasha spat, "You reap what you sow! Who do you think you're fooling?!"Christopher was surprised that Natasha showed up out of the blue, but he snapped sternly, "What are you doing, Natasha?! Stop it!"He had come to realize how stubborn and unreasonable his sister was. And if she dared to do this in front of him, who knew how much worse she got when he was not around!Beside him, Talia bit her lip but did not appear angry at all.She simply appeared at a loss. Her tears were welling up in her eyes as she looked a little afraid, and the red palm print on her cheek made her look especially miserable. And instead of snapping at Natasha, she reasoned with Christopher. "I'm fine, Christopher. Don't get upset with Natasha…"Natasha rolled her eyes in frustration. "Don't try to drive a wedge between us. Do you think I'm so stupid that I can't tell you're pretending, bitch?!"Her heart was screaming from the indignation
Melody did not want the old lady to be sad as well. Since she was just about to head over to meet with the inheritors and advertisers regarding their project anyway, she figured that she could bring her along. After all, the old lady might even be able to give them some pointers.Melody smiled softly. "Grandma, you're here just in time. I have a surprise for you."Hearing this, Linette smiled back. "I feel like the fact that you've managed the company so well is already a nice surprise enough."The woman spoke in a mysterious tone. "How does that count? This surprise is going to make you much happier.""Oh? Really now?" Linette seemed a little doubtful.The two soon arrived at a studio for Melody's embroidery project. Guiding the woman inside, they were met with a few young girls sitting inside, holding a needle and thread over their little stations. In the middle was a middle aged woman, her hair pulled back into a tiny bun with a flat silver pin. The figure seemed rather fam
Melody, on the other hand, had already looked away, annoyed that her high alcohol tolerance still lost to Christopher. Hence, she did not want to see him at all."There's still some time, and the weather is pretty hot lately. Why don't you come in for a drink, young man?" Linette warmly invited him.However, without even allowing Christopher a chance to speak, Melody interrupted coldly. "He's not thirsty."Linette gasped and slapped Melody on the shoulder. "How could you say that?"Her granddaughter had always been the most polite little girl since a young age. What had gotten into her today?Christopher seemed a little awkward too, so he decided to ease the tension. "I have water in the car, and the check in might be earlier than we expected, so it's best that I save you the trouble."Linette could not help but feel impressed with his considerate answer, so she just waved the two goodbye. "Alright, be careful then. Remember to let me know when you land."After the car drove off
Natasha called Talia up at five in the morning on a hot sunny day, just so Talia could help her buy a limited edition purse. She even went as far as to request a video to prove that she was indeed queueing for the purse. Whenever Natasha had to go to a bar, she would ask Talia to take all her punishments whenever she lost a game, drinking alcohol as though it was mere water. Talia even had to endure the dirty jokes some old men made, all while serving every single person present at the bar.Natasha's friends could not help but sneer. "Isn't that the famous dancer Talia Stewart? What is she doing here?""What dancer? She's just my servant." Natasha mocked the woman, smiling smugly.In an instant, the entire bar roared with laughter. However, Talia could not do anything about it, merely gritting her teeth and enduring all of this in silence.She swore to herself that once her plans succeeded, she would make everyone here pay for looking down on her.That day, Natasha ordered Talia
As an internationally renowned model, Albert was the focus of everyone wherever he went. He attracted a lot of attention, and it was hard for Christopher to ignore him.Since they were in a public place, Christopher opted for a polite greeting. "Good evening, Mr. Scott."However, Albert seemed interested in furthering the conversation. "I didn’t know you’re in charge of the project, Mr. Bolton."Christopher narrowed his eyes slightly.Albert was looking at Christopher with a harmless smile, but his tone was far from harmless. "That’s right. Are you surprised?" Christopher shot back.Albert snorted coldly, "I thought you’d be keeping your eyes on the silk hand embroidery project you’ve taken over recently. After all, it’s a chance for you to finally get close to Mel."Mel? Trying to sound intimate, was he? He used to call her that.Christopher was filled with disgust and disdain, but his expression was calm. "She’ll contact me if she needs me. As for you, Mr. Scott, you’ve ne
