She’d have to let Aiken have it sometime. The ‘Stygian Nation’ was about to start shooting soon. She’d transfer Victoria to another filming set and keep them apart if he taught Cedric more ways to flirt with a lady!He frowned when he saw her staying quiet. He was almost twenty-eight years old and this was the first time he had done something like that.“Do you hate it?” he asked with his deep voice. His cold bearing was intimidating even over the phone.“I love it.” She knew he had abandoned his cold, arrogant attitude for her sake, but she had to admit that he truly doted on her. That earlier smooch was proof of it. There was even a touch of flirtatiousness in it.He smiled lightly at her answer. He gave it everything he got and did something he’d never do for her sake. It’d be all worth it as long as she liked it.Then, Maia proceeded to finish the buckwheat porridge under his watchful eyes. He smiled contently when he saw that she finished it.However, Eddie showed up. It w
Baz entered Lumiere Mansion. With the help of Eddie’s map, he could easily enter the storage room undetected. From the information given to him, he knew that there would not be any housekeepers entering this storage room. So, Baz stayed there until nightfall. Just then, a loud commotion came from the floor above. “Bitch! Were you trying to seduce another man? You’ve been married to me for two years, but you’ve never shown me a smile! If you're so good at acting, why don’t you do it at home too?”At this hour, most of the housekeepers were already back in their quarters. Baz tip-toed up the steps and leaned against a wall on the second floor as he looked into the room. He saw Andrew hitting Shelly, who was already lying on the floor. She lay motionless as he continued to hit her. Not putting up a fight or uttering a single word. Baz had never seen such a horrible scene. He had never seen someone so lifeless when being attacked. She did not defend herself or yelp. Not even a s
When Shelly told him this, she had a nonchalant expression. It was as if she was talking about dinner plans. She smiled sadly, “I’ve been married to him for 2 years. I’ve gotten used to this. This has been the worst decision I’ve made, but I had no other choice.”Shelly raised her head and looked at Baz with teary eyes. “Could you help me? You’re Baz’s assistant, and I know you’re here for a reason, am I right?” Baz remained silent as he did not know how to answer her. "It looks like I was right. I heard that Sally had gotten most of the support from the Fox family. She will most likely be able to be the CEO of the Fox family businesses. “I know Eddie wouldn’t allow this to happen. Even though I don’t know much about the family, I can see that they’re not on good terms. Unlike Andrew and I, they don’t even try to pretend they have a good relationship. “I’m envious of how they don’t even bother to try pretending. It’s just disgusting that Andrew wants me to play the obedient an
Shelly immediately pulled him closer and kissed him on the lips. Baz was caught off guard, and everything spiraled into chaos. His self-control disappeared. The bathroom was filled with sounds that would make anyone blush. After two hours, Shelly collapsed into Baz’s arms from exhaustion. Baz glanced at her in his arms as his head was spinning. In his career, he had never failed a mission as severely as this. Everything was out of his control, as he was not even aware of his actions. It was like he was in a trance. “Mr. Baz, am I really that bad in bed?” Shelly’s question drew Baz back into reality. His face turned red. She was definitely not bad. “I can tell from your face that you were quite satisfied.” She smiled as she snuggled into his embrace. “I just didn’t want to show this side to Andrew. I don’t love him at all.” As he carried her back into the bedroom, he told her seriously, “I’ll take responsibility for this. You don’t have to worry.” “What do you mean, Mr. Baz?
Cedric glanced sharply at Baz and noticed a hickey on his neck. He immediately frowned. “Are you going to explain yourself?”Baz nodded as he explained what had happened between Shelly and him. However, he had also omitted the parts that he had felt embarrassed about.“So, you went to the Lumiere Mansion and slept with someone else’s wife?”“Mr. Cedric, I—”“Well done.” Baz lowered his head in embarrassment and said, “I’ll take full responsibility for my actions. However, Shelly is innocent, and she has experienced domestic violence from Andrew for a long time. “She said that she’s willing to work with us to gather evidence in exchange for her freedom. I also want her to leave Andrew, and I hope you can help us.” “We don’t know if she is sincere,” Cedric commented coldly.“Cedric’s right.” Eddie was standing at the door when he heard Baz briefing Cedric about his mission. “She had given herself to you at your first encounter. Don’t you think this is suspicious? Tell me, Baz,
He had no right to ask her this question. He was the one who had taken advantage of her. Baz was frustrated at himself. As he was about to tell her to ignore his question, Shelly patted his head with her hand.“I believe it. I like you.” She smiled sweetly at him. Then, she took his hand and placed it on her waist. “I still have a backache. Could you help me with it?” She had already laid on the bed before he could react. Baz clenched his fists tightly as he noticed the bruises on her back. They were all inflicted by Andrew.“I’ll apply the ointment on your wounds before I massage you.” Shelly just lay quietly on the bed. The dark red bedsheet accentuated her fair skin, making her look like a beautiful princess lying in wait for her prince. After Baz had tasted her, he needed to call on all his willpower not to be distracted by the view.He quickly applied the ointment on her back. Shelly could feel his gentle touch as he tried his best to ensure it did not hurt. “Baz, why did
Later, a bodyguard's voice rang out, "Young Master, she's looking for you."Upon hearing "she," Shelly immediately knew who it was."Okay." Andrew's mood noticeably improved as he walked towards the direction of the stairs.After Andrew left, Shelly whispered to Baz, "It's Sally looking for him. Guess what Sally wants with him at this time?"Baz wasn't clueless, he immediately understood."I know.""I don't know. What do you think they're up to?" Shelly clearly knew but intentionally wanted Baz to speak.Blushing, Baz said, "Doing things like we did."Shelly laughed, "Go over there." She pointed her fair hand towards the location of the big bed.Baz, holding her, walked towards the direction of the bed.Baz held Shelly, cleaning her up and reapplying medicine."Before using the surveillance device, open the circular button at the back, embed it in the bouquet of flowers in the vase. It won't be discovered, and ordinary devices won't detect it. You can completely relax.""Ye
Maia couldn't help but chuckle at the fact that Fischer took this matter so seriously. Then, Fischer asked again, "Miss, how did Baz find this girl?"Maia briefly explained the process to Fischer."What?!" Fischer was shocked. "Andrew's wife? Shelly?""Yes," Maia nodded."When I was studying abroad, I went to the same school as her. If I remember correctly, her family runs a perfume factory. She was quite famous at school, especially for her beauty. She knew how to use her looks to solve problems. This time, could Baz be manipulated?""I don't know. Baz went to the Lumiere Mansion, and she found out about it. If she wanted to tell Andrew, she didn't need to wait until now, right? Besides, Shelly also wants to get rid of Andrew. Even if they're using each other, it can be considered mutually beneficial.""But if Baz genuinely falls in love, this..."Normally, Fischer spoke much less than Baz and often teased him, but beyond that they had a very close, almost brotherly relationshi
