“Is our daughter dating the investor of their film? Why are there so many rumors going around when I recently visited the crew?” Mrs. Mayweather was sitting on a chair next to the bed and peeling an apple. She was really curious and kicked Mr. Mayweather, motioning him to answer the questions.Mr. Mayweather responded helplessly, “You don’t have to care whether it’s true or not. We’ll know that when you ask our daughter about it when she wakes up.”Mrs. Mayweather reached out and placed a sliced apple next to his mouth. “Can’t you see that I’m curious? You should go and ask around the industry to see if that gentleman is married, how many people are there in his family, and how many girlfriends he has had in the past. If they’re really dating each other, then we do have to feel happy for our daughter, don’t we?”Mr. Mayweather ate the apple that his wife cut for him and laughed. “Alright, my wife is always right. Okay, I’ll go and ask around some other day.”Mrs. Mayweather placed
Louis was momentarily stunned. He then nodded and grabbed Ryleigh’s hand. “Okay, we’ll travel to Stoslo to visit Grandpa in the short future.”Ryleigh approached him and asked in a low voice, “Is your grandfather fierce?”Louis smiled and put on his serious look in an instant. “He’ll definitely give you h*ll if you’re a disobedient girl.”“Tsk! How dare you scare your own wife?” Larissa clicked her tongue and comforted Ryleigh after saying that. “Don’t worry. His grandfather won’t give you any h*ll. Louis would be the one to suffer his wrath even if something were to go terribly wrong.”Ryleigh smiled and nodded.…It was already very late in the night when Xyla returned home from the hospital. She went back to her room, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling.The scene in which Yorrick kissed her flashed across her mind as if it was a roll film.‘He’s really good at kissing, so good that I still can’t get my mind off it.‘Tsk, he’s definitely a player.’She sat up irritab
Yorrick nodded, “Alright, let’s have a few drinks at night.”…Xyla had a night scene and ended the shooting around 11:30 p.m. She was exhausted because that was the first time she felt that movies weren’t as relaxed as series. Mindy sent her home, and once she drove off, Xyla’s phone started ringing. She was curious who was calling her so late and when she took a look, it was… Yorrick?Hadn’t he blocked her?She picked up. “What can I do for you so late at night, Mr. Hathaway?”He said something that Xyla didn’t hear and thought something had happened to him. “Hello!”“Is that Ms. Mayweather?” The bodyguard picked up, “I’m sorry for bothering you so late. Where are you? Mr. Hathaway is drunk and won’t leave. The bar is closing, and I’m out of ideas. Could you come to help us, please?”Xyla pushed her hair out of her face and chuckled. “He’s drunk, and I need to help him?”The bodyguard was out of ideas. “Mr. Hathaway insisted on calling you. I’m sure he’ll leave if you come
Yorrick sat up and put the back of his hand to his forehead, then leaned back on the seat. When they got to the hotel, Xyla helped him into the room. Just when she was going to put him to bed, he pulled her down with his body weight, and she fell on him.Her lips grazed his nose, and she froze. His warm alcoholic breath blew onto her cheek, and she beamed at the man who was under her with his eyes closed. She tried to get up, but an arm pulled her back into his arms. She was stunned, and her heart skipped a beat.Yorrick slowly opened his eyes and smiled drunkenly, “I’m drunk.”“What… What does getting drunk have anything to do with me?” Xyla tried to get up again, but he held her tight with his arm, and she locked eyes with him.Yorrick looked drunk, but he might not be. “Xyla, I’m troubled by you sometimes.”Xyla was startled. “What? Troubled?Yorrick cupped her cheek and smiled. His alcoholic breath got in her face. “Yes, troubled by you because you’re everywhere. I don’t
Xyla smiled meekly, but there was no joy in her eyes, “I’m 29, almost 30. Isn’t that normal?”She got into the van.Mindy brought a glass of warm water and watched her drink it, “Xy, I don’t think you should be doing any one-night stuff. Your reputation would be ruined if the paparazzi caught you.”Xyla put the glass down and smiled. “I wouldn’t do too badly if it was with a high-class tycoon.”Mindy’s face dropped. …Xyla hadn’t met Yorrick for a week. Her final scene was today, and she would say goodbye to the crew after that.She walked to the car with the flowers from the crew in her arms. Mindy was opening the door for her when she saw a man waiting inside. She was surprised.Xyla immediately blocked her face with the bouquet and looked at Mindy, “Why is he— Ah!”Xyla was pulled into the car and into his arms. Yorrick motioned at Mindy to close the door. After a brief moment, Mindy closed the door.Xyla lowered her head and played with the petals, “How can I help you,
Ryleigh waved to them and walked toward Louis after they left. “Are you waiting for me?”Louis looked at her. “Who else would I be waiting for.” He raised his hand and played with her ponytail. She was smiling widely. “I guess the performance went well.”Ryleigh turned away and was proud for a moment, “There’s nothing that I can’t handle.”Louis pinched her cheek and chuckled. “What do you want for dinner?”Ryleigh took his arm. “I want some roasted chicken, lemon duck, roasted beef, and—”“Why are they all meat?”“I’m craving meat!” Her expression was fierce.Louis looked at her and glanced at her belly. “Oh, do you think you’re…”She paused. “What?”Louis pressed his palm to her belly with a smile. “What do you think?”Ryleigh slapped his hand away. “No way!”He chuckled and pulled her into his arms. “Barbara is pregnant now, so we can’t be too far behind, right?”She choked, then mumbled, “That’s not what I alone can do…”Louis kissed her cheek. “Are you trying to say t
Mindy looked at her. Xyla was in sportswear and seemed to be practicing her dance moves. Her neck was covered in sweat, and she had a high ponytail on with a bandana, sweat dripping down the side of her brows.“What’s going on?” Xyla curiously looked at Mindy, who was standing at the door, and suddenly froze because of the man who showed up next to Mindy. The door was blocked. Xyla looked at Mindy, who looked down. “I’m sorry Xy, I… You take care.”She escaped! Before Xyla could say anything, Yorrick pushed her inward and closed the door.“Yorrick, this is my home. I might just report you for trespassing!” Xyla pushed him, and he took two steps backward. Unexpectedly, he pulled her into his arms, turned around, and pressed her against the door. “Do it.”He put a finger to her lips and smiled. “I want to report you too.”She gulped. “For what?”Yorrick approached. “Ms. Mayweather didn’t pay me for s*x.” He grabbed her chin and raised her head. “Let’s go to the station and se
Xyla leaned backward flirtatiously. Yorrick had never seen this side of her before. Then, he heard her saying, “If I become your woman, will I be the only one? Or I have to fight with other women and wait for you to summon me like what the emperor in ancient times would do?”Yorrick pressed his tongue against the back of his teeth and chuckled. “You want to be the only one?”She clicked her tongue and collected her hair at the back. “I don’t like to share my belongings with other people.”He repeated, “Do you want to do it?” She turned her face sideways. “No, I don’t want to.”The smile on Yorrick’s face slowly faded away. He looked at her for a while before rising to his feet. He loosened his tie and asked again, “Are you sure about that?”“Yes, I’m sure about that. I’ll still give you the same answer no matter how many times you ask me,” Xyla replied defiantly.“Alright.” He gazed at her deeply and said, “You’ll come to look for me.”After that, he opened the door and left.
