Yorrick pinched the foot of the glass, took a sniff at the aroma of the wine, and smiled. “You’re quite a wary person, Ms. Mayweather.”“I’m in an enclosed room with another man, so how can I not be a little more cautious?” Xyla changed her sitting posture casually and placed her legs on the couch. “I still don’t know your name, Mr. Rich Boy. After all, I have to accompany you and act around you in the coming three months. I have to know at least what your last name is.”He lifted the glass and glanced at her through the transparent glass. “My last name is Hathaway.”Xyla was astounded for a short moment. “This last name actually a thing in Zlokova?”“It seems that you don’t pay attention to the news, Ms. Mayweather.” Yorrick believed she really did not know his identity.‘If she were trying to play hard-to-get, it would be impossible for her to put such a question forward.’“I’m not interested in the news.” Xyla flipped through the contract. “Since I’ve signed the contract, it’s
“You!”A muffled laugh came from behind. Yorrick put down his wine glass, walked toward Xyla, and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Ms. Smalls, we’re about to go to bed already. Do you want to stay back and watch?”Xyla deliberately hid in his arms. “Honey, you naughty boy. How could you ask others to watch?”Yorrick pinched her chin and stared down at her bare face.Sweat beads rolled down from the sides of Jodie’s forehead.‘Are they planning to kiss in front of me?’Jodie’s eyes turned bloodshot due to the wrath burning within her chest. In the end, she bit her lip, turned her head away, and ran out of the room.It was also at this time that Xyla pushed Yorrick away from her, walked to the couch, and picked up her bag. “That should mark the end of tonight’s play. I should head back already—”“How are you so sure that she won’t be waiting at the door?” Yorrick interrupted her with a smirk.She stopped moving forward and looked back at him. “Then are you telling me that I’l
Unexpectedly, an accident happened.The dagger that was originally a prop stabbed right into Xyla’s right chest.The male lead was astonished, and his mind went blank instantly. “This…”Xyla lowered her head and took a glance at the wound, and a vague sense of pain originated from the stab.‘What the f*ck!? The dagger turns out to be the real deal!?’The director and the extras on the side did not notice anything out of the ordinary and did not stop the shooting.The male lead was about to draw out the dagger and yell to the director for help, but that was when Xyla grabbed the blade suddenly, gnashed her teeth, and uttered her line in difficulty, “Moses Miller, you actually have the balls to hurt me. You still ended up hurting me for that sl*t!”The male lead’s hands trembled a little.‘Unbelievable! She persevered after such an accident took place!’Seeing that she had moved on with her line, the male lead could only bite the bullet and continue. “Yes, if you dare to… If you
Xyla stared at the ceiling. “You can take it as a yes.”“I can take it as a yes.” Mindy looked a little confused. “What does that mean?”“It is what it is, literally.” Xyla did not want to explain too much, but she looked at Mindy when she thought of something. “By the way, how’s the crew doing with the investigation?”Mindy replied, “The crew is currently investigating the props. Generally speaking, the props bureau wouldn’t make such mistakes.”Mindy looked incredulous. “Moreover, the real props are only used as decorations. The props master just wouldn’t make such a mistake for the scene between you and Howard.”‘The fake props used by the crew usually look so real that they might get mixed up with the real items, so it’s inevitable to get them wrong if they’re not appropriately allocated. However, Howard's prop dagger in today’s scene is specially prepared, and it’s impossible for things to go wrong.‘Unless…’Mindy was shocked. “Could someone have replaced the fake prop wit
Mr. Mayweather turned his head and asked with a slightly puzzled expression, “May I know...”Xyla faltered. “He is… an investor of our crew. He must’ve come to pay me a visit.”Everything clicked for Mr. Mayweather in an instant.Yorrick nodded politely toward Mr. Mayweather. “Mr. Mayweather, it’s my honor to finally meet you.”Mr. Mayweather smiled politely and scrutinized him from head to toe. “You’re not from around here, aren’t you? I haven’t seen you in showbiz before this.”Yorrick grinned. “Yes, I’m indeed not a local.”Xyla was worried that Yorrick would be exposed and quickly suggested, “Dad, don’t you still have work to do? There’s no need for you to stay here with me as I have Mindy by my side. So go home first, and tell Mom I’m fine. I’ll be discharged after a few days’ rest.”Mr. Mayweather wanted to say something, but his daughter kept trying to drive him away, so what else could he say? He was already relieved after verifying that his daughter was safe and sound.
Yorrick crossed his arms and glanced at Louis at ease. “If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Lucas, you should have something to say to me, right?”Louis turned around and stared at him. “It’s rumored that there are always countless women surrounding you, Mr. Hathaway. So, if you’re only staying together with Ms. Mayweather for the fun of it, I’ll advise you just to find yourself someone else.”Yorrick laughed. “Mr. Lucas, aren’t you married already? Why are you still so concerned about your ex’s affairs?”Louis frowned and explained solemnly, “Xyla is just a friend to me. However, even if she’s just a friend, I won’t sit idly by when I know she’s getting herself into trouble. She’s not one of those women that you often find around you.”Yorrick walked past him and stood on the balcony, and a dark blue pattern could be seen faintly reflecting off the dark suit under the sunlight. He then looked downstairs. “This is between her and me, and it’s not like she doesn’t like it either.”Louis looke
‘She won’t even think twice before deciding to end me!’The doorbell rang.Nathan got up, walked to the door, and asked cautiously, “Who’s this?”“The apartment’s management,” replied the person outside.Nathan opened the door without thinking much, and two plain-clothes detectives broke in abruptly and subdued him on the floor.Before Nathan could say anything, the detectives had already taken out their badges. “You’re Mr. Hayes, aren’t you? You’re suspected of interfering with a filming crew’s operation, endangering the safety of others, and indirectly inflicting bodily injuries. You’re to come to the precinct with us for further investigation.”Nathan was stunned as he was detained.Several reporters were outside when they walked out of the apartment, all cameras pointing at him, and flashes were flaring non-stop. Thus, Nathan lifted his hand to cover his face subconsciously.“Nathan, someone accused you of rigging the props and causing Xyla to get injured on the set. Is thi
Maisie hugged Nolan from behind. “I heard that Yorrick is currently in Zlokova?”He placed his cell phone on the table. “That guy had his eyes fixed on the project between Eastwood Enterprise and Tristan and went there to take over.”She was pondering about something while Nolan pounced on her abruptly. She was startled but then placed her finger on his lips. “Mr. Goldmann, you’ve been loafing around and doing nothing a lot recently. All you think about all day long are filthy and indescribable events.”Nolan held her finger. “As long as I have you by my side, I wouldn’t mind turning into a fatuous and mindless man for the rest of my life.”Maisie raised her eyebrows and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Then you better take good care of your Johnson and your manhood.”Nolan kissed her and unbuttoned her. “The eastern hemisphere has a lot of food and recipes that help boost power and stamina in that department. All you need to do is cook some for me regularly, and I’ll certainly
