In the evening, Bella was surprised to see Jex when she met Calvin. She knew Jex would be coming today, but she didn't expect him to come with Calvin. He was still well-dressed, with sunglasses covering half of his face, and a high-spirited smile, indicating he was in a good mood. This was Bella's second time seeing Jex, and her impression of him was good. Jex didn't treat her like a stranger either. After exchanging pleasantries, he complained to her about Calvin not being considerate enough, leaving his work behind to come and protect his wife, making him run around.Throughout the journey, it was Jex doing all the talking. Whether or not anyone responded, he kept talking non-stop. After chatting for a while, he finally changed the subject, "When in Thailand, one must eat seafood. I know a good restaurant; let's go there for dinner."Dinner? Calvin glanced at the sky outside the car window; the sun hadn't set yet. Wasn't it a bit early? Jex didn't mind, saying, "Three meals a day; I
Bella suddenly realized that she could tease him too, biting her lip and smiling coyly, "Yes!" She had always thought that lovemaking should be done in the dark in bed, just doing the deed, with all the variety being stuff of novels. But today she discovered that just a few kisses could make the routine things lively and interesting. No wonder he said she was boring in this aspect, she couldn't even take the initiative for a kiss. Calvin chuckled and slid his hands underwater, pinching her perky buttocks, "Little devil!" She placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned forward, pushing her buttocks into his large hands, feeling his accompanying movements, blushing involuntarily. But she still asked playfully, "Was today more interesting?" Huh? Calvin was momentarily stunned, then understood what she meant, "It can be even more interesting." She stared at him, he was too greedy! He knew he shouldn't push too hard; today was already a rare occasion of her taking the initiative. He pu
With the intention of resigning on her mind, Bella became even more impatient to deal with Devon. Upon hearing that he would be joining them, her face immediately darkened. Just think about it, knowing that this man had ulterior motives toward her, and had even reached the point of making advances, how could she remain calm? She didn't even want to look at him more than necessary, feeling that his gaze towards her was lewd and disgusting. She was afraid Calvin might notice something. Her face was instantly clouded with worry. After enduring a day's work, why couldn't he just leave her alone? Seeing her pale complexion, Calvin thought she wasn't feeling well and touched her forehead, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" She grabbed his hand and sighed, "Why is Devon tagging along?" His presence was so awkward; just knowing he was the son of the boss made them, the little minions, uncomfortable. How could they enjoy themselves with him around? Couldn't he just have some self-awaren
Emily's abrupt departure left everyone feeling awkward for a moment, but under Jex's moderation, the atmosphere quickly recovered. Emily wasn't well-liked, her words and actions were forceful, and everyone felt she got what she deserved when Calvin put her in her place. Even Devon, who usually didn't mind speaking his mind, felt relieved; Emily had been bossing him around for a long time. The dinner was still enjoyable. Afterward, with a bitter expression, Jex headed to the set, while Bella and the others planned to visit scenic spots for sightseeing and photos. The scenery was beautiful, and Bella and Bonnie seemed particularly excited. Devon, however, gazed into the distance, feeling somewhat sentimental. "Women are so emotional," he remarked. "It's just a bigger beach and a wider sea, with fewer people. I don't see what's so exciting about it for these two." Calvin, seemingly oblivious to Devon's words, kept his eyes on Bella. She happily ran ahead to the beach, doing something w
Bella was awakened by Fiona's phone call, struggling to open her eyes and check the time. Four thirty in the morning?! Did this even count as early morning? What was Fiona up to? As soon as she answered the phone, she heard Fiona's weak and tired voice. Bella, also feeling drained, complained, "Four thirty in the morning! What urgent matter do you have to call me at this time for?" So tired!"It's nothing, just insomnia.""If we were on WhatsApp, I would flood you with disdainful emojis!" Fiona yawned, "I went to bed at nine last night, but couldn't fall asleep until midnight. I thought watching the sunrise by the seaside would be one of the scenes, so I called you to get up and see it. It's so beautiful, like the poem 'The bright moon rises above the sea, as we share this moment.'""Fiona, you're going to regret this!" Bella thought to herself. The night was indeed as long as life itself. Fiona urgently needed a rich and varied life, look at her, going crazy out of loneliness!Fiona
Facing Julia's eagerness, Calvin subtly took a step back, creating some distance between them. He noticed her assistant approaching with an umbrella, then shifted his gaze back to Julia, remarking, "It's sunny out, Miss Julia, be sure to protect yourself from the sun." His tone was casual, devoid of any personal sentiment, almost like a weather forecast. He naturally knew when to say what, but often couldn't be bothered to engage. He believed that this remark would allow Julia's imagination to run wild. He didn't care how she interpreted it, as long as she focused on completing the current shoot. As soon as he spoke, Julia's assistant arrived, panting slightly from the hurried walk. Without saying a word, she immediately held the umbrella over Julia and Calvin's heads, providing some relief from the scorching sun. Julia claimed to be 168 centimeters tall, but she was barely 162, while Calvin towered over her. It was tough for the petite assistant. If their artist was cozying up to th
"Bundled publicity stunt?" Bella didn't quite understand publicity stunts. She thought writing a news article to create buzz was enough. Was it necessary to go to such lengths?Jex took a few sips of water handed to him by his assistant and said, "No pictures, no truth. Anyone could be the one spreading the news."With that said, Bella understood. On the internet, there were countless self-proclaimed entertainment reporters, D-list actors, extras, hotel waitresses, flight attendants, or those who claimed to have relatives in high positions in the entertainment industry. These people loved to leak information. On a busy set like this, you never knew who might secretly take photos to leak them. Even rival artists could cause trouble; the industry was too chaotic.In the blink of an eye, David and Julia approached. Bella didn't pay much attention when she first saw Julia, partly because she wasn't focused on her, and partly because Julia had been harassing Tang Ze by phone. However, Davi
Before returning from Thailand, Calvin had already finished reading "Like Waves and Tigers". He didn't express any opinions on the bed scenes in the text, but the more he remained silent, the more uneasy Bella felt. Calvin was the type of person who liked to catch others off guard, and who knew what he was thinking. This feeling of being left hanging in the air was truly uncomfortable, and Bella tried to ask him about his thoughts on the book, but he simply said that once Jex bought the copyright, it would be handed over to a screenwriter who would try to preserve the original content as much as possible.Preserve the original content as much as possible? What about the bed scenes... He seemed to know what she was thinking and added that only the kissing scenes would be preserved for intimacy, and then he didn't say anything else. Bella pondered over his words for a long time but couldn't figure out what he meant. Perhaps he really didn't have any other intentions. Who knows?Coming o
