Xyla didn’t know why she had suddenly dreamed of the past. Maybe her brain was almost forgetting, and the memory was prompting her?She looked at Yorrick, “Do you have any requirements for your lover?”Yorrick looked at her pinkish lips. “What do you think?”He wanted to get close, but Xyla put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him away. His eyes were dark, and then she slightly turned away. “I threw up last night and haven’t brushed my teeth. I don’t want to disgust you, thanks.”Yorrick chuckled and pressed his warm lips to her forehead. Xyla paused. What was that supposed to mean?Yorrick messed up the top of her hair and stood up. “Rest well.”“Xy, I bought…” Mindy brought some soup into the room and froze when she saw Yorrick as he was leaving.Mindy brought the soup to her after Yorrick left. “Was Mr. Hathaway… worried about you?”Xyla got out of bed and laughed. “He could be worried a few more times. The next time you might just see me in the funeral parlor.”Mind
The leads had an interaction on stage with the fans, and then there was an interview. Xyla, who was trying to lay low, didn’t say anything the entire time. She yawned once and was captured on camera.The microphone was suddenly passed to her, and the interviewer asked her to say a few words. She was surprised but took it calmly. “This was my first movie, and I had a great time working with the crew. I’d like to thank the director for giving me this chance to perform.”The reporters might have been trying to create some buzz when they asked her to play the violin on the spot.Everyone there understood what was going on. Xyla had chased after Louis when she was still a model, and the reporters there knew that she had learned to play the violin because of him.Now that they were asking her to play the violin at the event, were they trying to cause a stir?She didn’t show discomfort but instead smiled. “Is my piano performance not good enough?”When the reporters saw that she didn’t
Xyla was curious, “A few more days?”Yorrick raised his eyebrows. Xyla suddenly scoffed. “Don’t you need to spend time with someone else?”He pinched her chin. “Who am I supposed to spend time with?”She pushed his hand away and sat up. “How would I know?”She stretched her hand out to grab a bathrobe at the edge of the bed and tied her hair up. “If some other woman is waiting for you, I’m not going to take all your time.”She wanted to get up, but Yorrick put out his arm, pulled her back, and whispered in her ear, “Are you jealous?”Xyla was stunned but smiled. “I’m just a lover. I have no right to be jealous.”Yorrick laughed and pushed her face toward him. “You’re good at guessing your place.”Xyla escaped from his arms and went to the bathroom. After cleaning, Yorrick ordered food, and the server pushed a cart into the room at 8:00 a.m.Xyla was eating a salad when her phone started buzzing. She turned to look, and it was Mindy. She opened it, and the event was trendin
The manager was worried that Yorrick wouldn’t be comfortable, so he said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Hathaway. We’re in the middle of a building site, so there are no hotels nearby.”“It’s alright. I’ll stay where Mr. Topaz usually stays.” Yorrick took the cold beverage.The manager nodded. “Alright, I’ll arrange for it.”When the manager left, Yorrick took a sip of the cold beverage and glanced at Xyla, who was sitting next to him with her arms crossed. He put the cup down and smiled. “Why? Are you not happy that we’re staying at a building site?”Xyla turned to look at him. “You insisted that I come over with you.”She understood something and smiled. “You didn’t want your other lover to spend too much time under the sun, so you brought me over as if I’m not tanned enough.”Xyla had applied a lot of sunscreen when she got off the plane, but she still felt that she was getting tanner. Yorrick smiled and looked at her with a hand under his chin. “You’re definitely jealous if you keep me
“I won’t.” Xyla walked closer to him and was going to jump on him when he turned sideways and evaded. He then grabbed her by her wrists and held her down in bed. “Ouch, it hurts!”Yorrick smiled with a clenched jaw. “Hurts, huh? Don’t you dare play with me.”“You played with me first. You brought me here to work. Even my dad didn’t ask me to work at home. Let go of me!”Xyla struggled, but Yorrick grabbed her harder. She yelled out loud because her arms were going numb, “Yorrick Hathaway!”Yorrick let go of her. “If you don’t wash your hands, you’re not going to sleep in the bed tonight.” He turned and left. Xyla sat up and rubbed her arm. “Do you think I want to sleep with you?”Still, this man was afraid of a cockroach, and it was a small one too. That was rare. Yorrick didn’t return after he left. He probably went for a site inspection with the manager. Xyla opened the fridge, but there was nothing inside. She put on her jacket and walked out, looking for somewhere to e
Fortunately, the two children next door were still young. The eldest sister, Elaine, was seven years old, while the youngest brother, Dominic, was only four and a half. They were particularly well-behaved and wouldn't cause any trouble. “Xyla, what is this?” Elaine had never seen a drone before, and she was curious about it.“This is a drone, and it can take panoramic shots. We can see very far away through it too.” Xyla squatted on the ground and taught her how to control it. “Come, I’ll teach you how to control it.”Elaine nodded obediently as she watched Xyla control the drone diligently.After Xyla had taught Elaine how to control the drone, she gave the control panel to her. “Come, give it a try.”Elaine looked at her and took the control panel carefully. A smile broke across Xyla’s face when she saw Elaine carefully control the drone as she had taught her.Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from her father. She walked to the side and answered the call. “Dad?”“Where
Xyla struggled to get herself out of Yorrick's arms but to no avail. She raised her head to look at him and asked, "When you said you're going to put me on the blacklist, you were lying, right?" Yorrick narrowed his eyes. “Yet you still fell for it.”‘My dad is right!’She gnashed her teeth and asked again, “So, that means you’re toying with me?”Yorrick secured her tightly in his arms and leaned in closer. There was a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips as he said, “I thought you’re a smart woman, but it seems like I’m wrong. You’re just as naive as other people.”Xyla took a deep breath to calm herself down. “Do you think this is fun?”Yorrick looked at her, but he did not say anything.“I'm sure you have a lot of fun fooling me around like a monkey, right, Yorrick? You said you don't want to get too involved in a relationship, so I went along with you. You have so many women by your side, so why can't you just let me go?”Xyla couldn’t hold herself anymore and cried. Sh
Yorrick suddenly put a bottle of drink on the fold-out table in front of her, and she froze. She tried to glance at him but couldn't do it too obviously. Then, he took her sunglasses off all of a sudden. She took them back, put them back on, and turned her back on him with her arms wrapped around her.Yorrick chuckled and extended his arms to grab her shoulder. “Are you still angry with me?”Xyla pushed his hand away, pointed at him, and said through gritted teeth, “Take your filthy hands off me. If not, I’m going to sue you for molestation!”Yorrick placed his hand on his forehead and looked at her. Then, he laughed. “Look around you. There are only the two of us in the business cabin.”Xyla was stunned. She rose to her feet and looked around, and just like Yorrick had said, there was no one in the business cabin. She was dumbfounded and dropped back in her seat. “What do you mean by this?”Yorrick leaned closer while twirling his finger around her hair and replied, “It happene
