Wild Rose：My Dangerous Women Like a Moth to a Flame(5)
10Noah started asking me out a lot.We went to movie theaters, aquariums, and amusement parks and took photos on the merry-go-round. We lined up behind a little girl in a pink princess dress for more than half an hour just to get ice cream.I wanted to say no every time, but every time I saw his sparkling, expectant eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse him."Anyway, it's just an act. It's better to make it more real," I told myself....It didn't take long for me to understand why Barrel said that that night.Valenwich underwent a change of ownership and merged with another company. Barrel took over our big project with Valenwich and became one of the new people in charge from Party A.Noah played a sweet boy and stayed with me. It was not until the morning of the training that he hurried out and met up with the others at school.A few days earlier, Party A said they would send someone in charge to discuss the project face-to-face, so I stayed up for several days to come up with a

12I felt like the softest part of my heart had been ripped open. My fingertips trembled in pain, but I gave a sneer."How dare you pester me since you know what kind of person I am? Do you think I don't know what you did to get me fired just so I could be grateful to you for your offer? If I really get back together with you, aren't you afraid I'll slap your mother in the face and make your family a mess?"I didn't look at Barrel. I closed the door and drove away.Barrel liked me? I didn't think so.He was just upset that when I broke up with him, instead of thinking about him, I ended up with another guy.He was the same as Matt. They besieged me by all means for their interests.I wouldn't admit defeat. How could I?I gritted my teeth on my way home. I casually dropped my handbag on the floor and took out my phone. That was when I realized Noah had called me more than a dozen times and sent me dozens of messages."Karen, can you get back to me when you get this?""Karen, y

14She didn't finish the whole story so as to keep Noah in suspense.My parents planned to marry me off to an old bachelor for 70,000 dollars. I only mentioned it to Barrel, but I didn't expect him to tell Shay about it."You think too much. I broke up with your brother because he was seeing some other women while we were together. Whether I get married or not has nothing to do with you." I smiled."Are you angry?" Shay tilted her head to look at me, the very picture of a phony. "I'm just concerned about you. After all, you taught me for a long time when my brother made you my tutor."Noah couldn't stand it anymore. He frowned and said, "Shay, can you go now? I'd like to talk to my girlfriend. You're an eyesore to me."Shay stared at him with wide eyes, and her smile froze.Seeing that she did not respond, Noah lost his patience. He took my hand and led me straight down from the stand to a row of chairs at the edge of the court. There were a few reserves sitting there, as well a

16Matt laughed angrily. "How dare you admit it?"He turned to Noah and said mockingly, "Noah, did you hear her? This b*tch is up to no good. Do you still want to marry her?"My face went pale, and my lips had lost their color.For a moment, I hoped I would immediately lose my senses and not hear Noah's answer.But his voice came clear to my ears, serious, gentle, and even a little sad, "I know."Matt wanted to say something, but Noah interrupted him. "Why?" he asked."What do you mean by 'why'?" Matt frowned as if surprised by Noah's reaction."Why would Karen want revenge on you?"Noah turned and seemed to see my pale face, so he reached out to hold my hand.He gently and carefully covered my fingertips with his warm hand."You've never stopped harassing her all this time. After looking into her family situation, you thought she was alone and helpless, so you got worse. You are such a conceited man. How can you allow someone to escape from your clutches?" Noah said with a
Wild Rose：My Dangerous Women Retoucher(1)
I'm the personal retoucher of Chuck Smith, one of the most popular stars. To attract more clients, I put his edited photo and the original side by side on a website. He soon found out about it.When Chuck called me, I was working hard on editing a photo.After learning what I did, this crybaby was so angry that his voice trembled on the phone. "Rebecca, what the hell is this?"With that, he sent me a message.[Retoucher of celebrities, good aesthetic taste, reliable quality, and reasonable price, 2 dollars for each photo.]Next to the advertising slogan was a close-up photo of Chuck taken at an art gallery event three days ago.In this picture, his skin was dull, his eyes were half-closed, his chin was a little crooked for some reason, and some small pimples were on his cheeks.After my careful editing, all the defects on his face disappeared, but the natural skin texture was still preserved.My brain was spinning. Should I deny it or apologize to him? After hesitating for a fe

2The car stopped in front of a five-star hotel nearby."Get out of the car," Chuck said.I clung to the car door. "What are you doing? I'm not getting out!"As soon as I finished speaking, Chuck took a pair of sunglasses from his bag and put them on me.I paused and silently withdrew my hands.Chuck looked like a useless fool, and I didn't expect him to be so sensitive.He used to hide behind me, crying in the game, so I wasn't worried that such a coward would do anything to me.Moreover, given my plain-looking face, I didn't think he would be interested in me.I was afraid that people would look at me in surprise or disgust.After adjusting the sunglasses on my nose bridge, I followed Chuck upstairs. Then, he took me to a luxurious private room and said he was there to attend a meeting to discuss a script.Only then did I find out that he was about to star in a new drama, a part of which would be shot at our school?Like that, I got to know Chuck's director, screenwriter,

4The second week after I accompanied Chuck to the set, I finally understood why the person I met in the hotel the other day said that Chuck's staff was not professional.Chuck terminated the contract with Grateedo Company and set up his studio half a year ago.There were only four people in the studio, including him and me.Chuck's agent, Lisa, and the photographer, Daniel, were his high school classmates.I remembered the strange photos they had sent me and suddenly understood why someone as good-looking as Chuck would look so ugly in them.I stayed at the hotel with Chuck in the evening because he asked me to choose some pictures for him to post on Twitter. However, among more than 50 pictures, I barely picked out three ones that could be used. But I had to make a ton of changes to them before they were released.Chuck looked at me carefully, saying, "Rebecca, I'm sorry to trouble you again.""Well, it's not a big deal. After all, you paid me for that." I tried to make it so

6I hailed a taxi and went to the film set.Chuck had just put on his makeup and was still waiting for his part to start in the lounge. When he saw me, he came over with tears in his eyes. "Did you see my sincerity? Are you still mad?"After a moment of silence, I asked, "Why did you buy me so many cosmetic items?""You...""I'd rather you gave me some money."Chuck's face darkened instantly. He glared at me angrily and complained, "You're not romantic at all. Weren't you touched when you logged on to the game and saw so many cosmetics?""I was touched, but my heart was bleeding," I said. "My heart ached at the thought that the money you paid for those items was enough to buy an iPad, five TF lipsticks, or ten meals from my favorite restaurant. But you gave the money to the game developer.""I won't talk to you anymore!"Chuck was so furious that he turned his back on me.I counted to five in my heart.He turned around and looked at me aggrievedly. "Are you not going to coax

15The boy stood at the door and looked over with deep eyes. Light and shadows overlapped, but the bottom of his eyes contained the darkest shade. It was as if his disguise had been peeled off so that he was no longer obedient and innocent.At that moment, he looked like a keen-witted adult who could manage on his own.Jason didn't care about Ryan's presence. He didn't even turn around to look at Ryan. He just stared at me as if he was waiting for an answer.I said in a stern and low voice, "Step aside!""Alright."He shrugged and stood straight. Only a few seconds had passed, but Ryan had walked over. He stood side by side with Jason in front of my desk.They were almost of the same height, but compared with Jason, his body shape was more like a teenager's."Rita, I've concluded my work. We can leave now." Ryan simply ignored Jason and said, "I've booked a restaurant. Now It's just the right time to go there."Jason, who was standing beside Ryan, suddenly laughed and asked, "

13When I was in high school, the Luther Group had too many irons in the fire. Since Henric's father was too busy, it was his mother, Celine, who issued the special scholarship each time.Because of Henric, I was always very nervous in front of her. However, I had to force myself to be calm and polite.Eight years had passed. Looking at her, I felt very calm. My mood was not changing at all."Hello, Madam. I'm Henric's..." I paused for a moment. "Old friend."Probably because of what had happened to the Luther family, she looked much older and thinner than she was eight years ago.Sitting opposite me, she now looked like a kind woman next door.However, when Henric heard what I said, his expression froze on his face."Old friend." Celine chuckled and picked up the teacup in front of her. "Indeed. When I went to your high school to grant scholarships, I often saw you and Henric walking together. You seemed to be very close.""Yes, I'm very grateful to Henric. He did help me a l

11After I sent Ryan to his house, it was already late at night.The young boy was always very clingy.In the house he had newly rented, there was a very big sofa. Under the dim light of the floor lamp, he pestered me to give him a goodbye kiss.I didn't agree, but he kissed me forcibly. He immediately apologized to me before I got angry. "I'm sorry, Rita. I won't do it again."I wasn't able to say what I wanted to say. I could only wave my hand helplessly. "Forget it. I'm leaving."He knew me very well, just like the way I knew him.Over the years, I had been interacting with the people around me. The relationship between me and Jason concerned more about interests and the sense of propriety of adults.Only my relationship with Ryan was different.Perhaps only with him could I sometimes feel pure happiness.I thought Henric was asleep, but when I opened the door, I found that one of the lights in the living room was still on. Under the warm yellow light, there was a faint sw

10Fineview finally decided to cooperate with the Luthers. After we went back, Henric was busy with the business of their company.When I was free, I contacted Ryan and invited him to meet me at a restaurant that we used to frequent.Probably because I hung up the phone in a hurry that day, the boy was not in a good mood when he came. He deliberately wore a straight face sitting opposite me, as if he was saying, "Come and coax me.""It was my fault. I shouldn't have hung up on you that day."I took out a box from my bag and put it in front of him. "I'll compensate you with this. Is it Okay?"Ryan didn't take it. Instead, he looked up at me and said, "Our university asks us to look for chances of internships during the summer vacation. If you want to compensate me, give me a chance to work as an intern in your company."I raised my eyebrows. Before I could answer his question, he had already taken out two pieces of paper from his bag and handed them over. I lowered my head and gl

9When the hot June was over, Ryan called and told me that he had finished the exam.At that time, Henric and I were sitting by the French window. Outside the window was the vast sea. Henric's pupils were light-colored. When the sun was shining, the blue light of the sea was reflected in his pupils, which looked as clear as the spring water.However, as I answered the phone, his clear pupils instantly darkened."Rita, I've finished the exam." Ryan's excited voice sounded on the phone. "Can I see you this evening?"I leaned into Henric's arms and said lazily, "Not today. I'm on vacation."He was silent for a moment. Then he suddenly asked warily, "Who is with you?""Good boy, you should not ask this question."I was playing with the buttons of Henric's shirt now and then. "I'll contact you when I go back."After hanging up the phone, I sat up straight in Henric's arms. I turned around and found that he was still sitting very straight. He did not want to bend down even an inch.

7I had intended to coax Henric, but not long after I got up, Jason called me."My car is waiting for you downstairs." He paused for a moment and said, "There are 20 minutes left for you to wash up. We must arrive at Hampton before 10 o'clock.""Got it."I hung up the phone and put on my clothes. Before I finished washing up, Henric had already heated up the milk and the sandwich. Looking at me, he was sitting at the dining table. It seemed he was asking me to make peace.He had always been cold and arrogant, so it was rare for him to give in. I sighed and walked over. I picked up the glass of milk and drank it all. I bent down and kissed him on the lips. The remaining milk had stained his lips. "There is something urgent in my company. See you this evening."Henric slowly wiped away the liquid with the finger pulp. "I'm also going out today."Although the Luthers had gone bankrupt, I knew he still had to deal with a lot of trivial matters. I nodded and said, "I see. If the Luth

4The moment Ryan sat down beside me, Jason stretched out a hand to him and greeted him with a faint smile. "Nice to meet you! I'm Jason Reed."His name was well-known in the city. Naturally, Ryan had heard of him before.Ryan pursed his lips more tightly, but in the end, he still shook hands with Jason. "I'm Ryan Harris.""You seem to be very young. Are you still a college student?""I'm a sophomore. After all, Rita doesn't like men who are not young."Jason smiled and drank up the wine in his glass. "It's something natural. Young people are obedient and easy to deal with. If I just want to have some fun, I also want to make friends with young girls."Ryan gritted his teeth. He had almost crushed the wine glass in his hand. "Really? It seems that you are quite experienced, so you are not at all innocent."…I rested my chin on my hand. With great interest, I listened to their bickering until Jason's phone rang.He answered the phone. The smile on his lips did not change, but

The night before my ideal lover came back, I told my young boyfriend that I wanted to break up with him.He was about to cry. "I don't want compensation. I just want to stay with you for a while longer."The bank card I handed over was rejected by him. After a moment of silence, I agreed.However, he went further. "You should wear the nightdress which I like best."At midnight, I lit a cigarette. Leaning against the headboard, I looked at him lazily. "What are you looking for?""The piece of clothing you have bought for me. I want to take it away as a souvenir."When he said this, his voice seemed to be shaking a little.I sighed and beckoned him. "Good boy, come here and let me kiss you."In fact, Ryan Harris was very obedient as well as very pure. He was almost the perfect lover that I had taught myself.If Henric Luther hadn't come back, I might be in a relationship with Ryan for a few more years.But there was no other way. Since my true boyfriend had returned, the substi

15The next morning, when I went downstairs, Jacob's Bentley was already parked there.I opened the rear door of the car, got in, and then looked at him without saying a word.We didn't meet each other for two weeks. He seemed to be a little thinner. When he faced me, his usual indifference completely disappeared, only tenderness was left.It seemed like nothing happened and we were not changed.I felt a lump in my throat. So I turned my head and tried my best to say calmly, "Go."We did not speak to each other after.After reaching Jacob's home, I walked alone to the secondary bedroom and started packing my luggage. The familiar scent of pomelo surrounded me, mixed with the faint smell of tobacco. The atmosphere was a little bit charming.For a moment, I almost couldn't help telling Jacob that I still loved him.Although I just lived here for a few months, this house gave me so many memories that I could not help but recall many things as soon as I walked in.The night Jacob
