That friendliness only extended to strangers and not friends. Friends showed emotions, but Colton never paid attention to her emotions. Even if her father never asked for his opinion before speaking to Nolan, he didn’t say much about it. “I’m curious about the kind of woman that would interest you.”Colton looked around. “Is it that important to you?”Giselle was honest. “If I’m not even in your consideration, I’m curious about the woman that you would fall for. She must be much better than I am.”And maybe that was the reason he never thought about her that way.If that woman was really outstanding, Giselle wouldn’t feel so bad about it. Colton was silent. There were a lot of outstanding women. Giselle, for example, was one of them. She came from a great family and was disciplined and always learning. She was a good example of a lady. A woman like her would be a great wife because she would be able to manage the household and help him with his business, but if a woman had
’When did she start working together with Colton!?’Colton removed his coat and hung it in the closet. “Why didn’t you tell me that you moved?”Freyja crossed her arms. “Someone would tell you anyway.”Colton looked around the living room. He was so familiar with this place. He stopped in front of the piano and looked down. “Did Daisie ask you to live here?”She smiled. “Why else would I be here?” She then added, “I’m not living here for free. I’m paying rent.”He paused and turned to look at her. Freyja didn’t have anything that she should be proud of, but she was still so confident. Her confidence came from her character.She was never greedy and wouldn’t take advantage of others. She paid for everything so nobody would get to tell her how to get things done. Colton stared at her for a moment. “How much is the rent?”She paused, then looked away. “I’ll pay whatever I have.”She then remembered something. “I’m not paying it to you. Why do you care?”He chuckled. “I don’
Freyja tried to hit Colton, but he quickly grabbed her wrist and held her against the closet.She couldn’t push him away. “Colton, have you no shame!?”Colton raised her chin and stared at her flushed face. “I’ve never been ashamed.”Freyja didn’t know what to say.He lowered his head and kissed her. He just wanted to tease her, but it escalated quickly. He was familiar with her body, but if Freyja didn’t have feelings for him, she wouldn’t just let him get his way. That was the only time they had the same thing in mind.After a week, at the party to celebrate the end of their filming…Daisie attended the party. There were a lot of reporters at the door, and they rushed forward when Daisie and James showed up together.“Ms. Vanderbilt, who was the man you mentioned in your social account? Can you tell us a bit more about him?”James wanted to say something when Daisie pinched his arm. He took a sharp breath and smiled but didn’t speak. Daisie calmly said, “I’m sorry, but my
It was the same if Daisie had drunk too much champagne. If it were red wine, she would have been drunk by now.Her head was dizzy, and her cheeks felt hot by the time she left the banquet.When Mitchell was leaving, he stopped for a moment and followed after her.Daisie came to the parking lot, and there was a silver Cayenne not far away. Mitchell could sense that the man who came to pick her up must be the one who had been supporting her from the back.He hastily made a few quick steps to catch up to Daisie and grabbed her shoulder to give her some support. “Ms. Vanderbilt, you’re drunk. Let me get you into the car.”Daisie was stunned. Before she could do anything, Edison appeared out of nowhere and pushed Mitchell away. “It’s okay, Sir. My master will send her back.”Mitchell looked at Edison in astonishment.‘Master?’Just as he expected, the man was someone of great status.Edison waited until Daisie got into the car before heading into the driver's seat.Mitchell stoo
The next morning…After Daisie woke up, she went downstairs and was welcomed by the fragrance of fried eggs.Nollace was standing in the kitchen. While he was transferring the eggs from the pan to the plate, a pair of arms hugged him from the back.He was stunned for a moment and then turned his head around and smiled. “Morning.” She leaned against his broad back, feeling his body warmth. “Morning.”He said gently, “Go get yourself cleaned. Breakfast is ready.”Daisie went upstairs to clean herself up. After changing into a set of new clothes, she went downstairs again. Nollace had already served all of the dishes on the table. There was porridge, a few slices of bread, ham, and a sunny side up.She pulled the chair and sat down. Feeling a little bit embarrassed, she said, “Nolly, actually, you don’t have to wake up so early every day to prepare breakfast for me. I can do it myself.”He chuckled and pushed the porridge to her. “It’s okay. I enjoy preparing breakfast for you.”
“Mitchell from Zestar is looking for my identity. I think he wants to get back on his feet by selling my information to the media, but I can't come forward and settle the problem.”The chairman understood what Nollace wanted. “So, you want me to help you settle this problem?”He nodded. “You’re the chairman of Tenet Media, and you’re considered an influential figure in the entertainment industry. You're the best candidate to step in and solve this problem, and…”He paused for a few seconds and rhythmically tapped on the mirror's side. “If Mitchell manages to get back on his feet through the media, it’ll also affect Tenet Media. After all, I’m the one who exposed the scandal between him and Susan. Besides, I am a shareholder of Tenet, and the public might not be happy when they learn about it.”The chairman knew what he was talking about.Mitchell had bullied Daisie while shooting the film together. Initially, it was just a small matter, but after the incident went out of hand and
Susan did not want to wait until her contract expired. This was because it would be too late, and she wouldn't have any chance anymore if she returned to the entertainment industry at that time.She did not have a good family background like Daisie did. She had to rely on herself to get the things she wanted, so now that there was a chance in front of her, she had to grab it.“Alright. I’ll help you.”Mitchell stretched his arm forward and put it above her hand. Then, he said meaningfully, “I’ve already helped you, Susan. It’s time for you to help me back.”When Susan saw that he still wanted to take advantage of her when she was at the bottom of the barrel, she felt disgusted. However, she had to hold back her anger as she still needed him.…Charlie handed the script of the variety show to Daisie.Daisie took it, flipped through it, and then she was stunned. “What is this?”Charlie said, “Our chairman wants you to participate in this variety show. Right now, all media outlets
Just when Freyja was about to say something, her phone rang.She pulled her phone out, and she was stunned.It was Colton.Daisie glanced at her phone and smiled. “Well, speak of the devil.” Freyja went outside of the office to answer the phone. Daisie knew that Freyja wouldn’t dare to answer the phone in front of her, so she did not follow after her. When she turned around, she accidentally knocked the purse off the table.When she squatted down to pick the purse from the floor, a box of contraceptive pills fell out of the purse.Daisie picked the box of pills up and was stunned.Freyja returned to the office after finishing the call. She saw that Daisie was reading her script behind the table, so she did not disturb her. Daisie looked at Freyja. She was busy working in front of her computer. When the box of pills came into her mind, she pressed her lips tightly.She wanted to ask Freyja about it, but she couldn’t muster enough strength to ask the question. Perhaps she an
