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
Seeing that it was getting late, Christopher got out of bed, washed up, and changed into his usual suit. He ignored the dull pain in his stomach, and went downstairs.Steaming porridge and side dishes were already served on the dining table. The butler quickly greeted him. "Sir, you haven't had breakfast yet!""I’m late," said Christopher. He strode out of the door, and told the driver, "I want to be at the company in ten minutes.""Sir, you’ll get a stomachache if you don’t have breakfast!" the butler said worriedly. He rushed out, but only saw the leaving car. He could only sigh as it drove away.Christopher had been busy with work lately. The butler was worried about his health, especially now that he had skipped breakfast when hungover.Christopher reached the meeting room just in time. He had always been punctual, and had strict requirements for his employees.Luke pulled out the chair for him. He sat down, and began to listen to the heads of various departments report on
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
