Bella noticed that the director's attitude towards her had changed. As the director's attitude shifted, so did everyone else's attitude towards her. She couldn't help but suspect that Calvin's behavior that day was an intentional hint to the director. However, it didn't make sense—if he wanted to make things easier for her, a simple instruction would suffice. Why go to such lengths? Anyway, she had a rather comfortable last two days with the production crew, so comfortable that she almost felt like a big star. The day the program wrapped up, they held a small cocktail party to reward the entire crew. Everyone enjoyed such eating and drinking events. Although it was called a small cocktail party, everything was meticulously arranged, from the venue decoration to the food and drinks. Bella and Fiona found themselves in the middle of it, marveling at how money could solve so many problems. Honestly, they had only seen such scenes on TV. In their previous company, anniversary celebratio
Calvin never knew that Bella would be so cute when she was half drunk and half awake. Her eyes were blurry and her reaction was slow. After he kissed her fiercely, she suddenly pushed him away and turned over to sit up. He was shocked. What was she going to do? Did she forget to take a shower even when she was drunk? Women are sometimes really weird. When she took a shower, everything was extinguished. How could there be passion to continue?Bella half-knelt up with some sway. Calvin propped up his body and reached out to help her but she pushed him back to the bed. He put his hand on her slender waist and was puzzled, "Bella?""Don't move!" She pouted and muttered, and then moved her body again to sit on him. Calvin was stunned for half a second, and then laughed. Did she want to do it herself? Alcohol makes cowards brave. I didn't expect that the little white rabbit could also turn into a big bad wolf with the help of alcohol. It was interesting, and he was happy to see it. Now she
After indulging in drinks and pleasure, facing reality brought a bit of awkwardness, starting with Fiona’s teasing. She didn’t say much, just lamented that the Indian love oil she had specially gifted was neglected. Bella rolled her eyes dramatically. Last night was unexpected; she was so drunk that she only wanted to get back and sleep, and as for the Indian love oil, it should be left for Fiona’s blonde, blue-eyed CEO. Fiona casually tossed the oil back into her bag, scolding Bella for not appreciating her kindness.The two bantered as they packed up, preparing to check out. The resort’s environment and facilities were nice, but only for vacationers. They had been up and down the mountains daily, hardly experiencing any of the resort’s pleasures. Now, as they were leaving, it felt like they were finally liberated, ready to return to civilization.The lobby on the first floor was crowded with most of the show’s staff, everyone bidding farewell and leaving one after another. Bella saw
LAfter coming back from the show, Bella and Fiona indulged themselves for two days before feeling revived. However, while Bella was back to full strength, Fiona seemed frazzled. The constant phone calls were a buzzkill. By noon, they decided to find a place to eat and take a break.They entered a French restaurant, and before they even sat down, Fiona's phone rang incessantly again. Bella pouted, "Even the president isn't this busy."Fiona tossed her shopping bags aside and glanced at the caller ID. With a deep sigh, she answered with a cheerful tone, "Hello, Auntie... Yes, it's me... What? Dinner? Oh... I have to work late on Saturday... Uh-huh... Okay... I got it..."Listening to Fiona sweet-talk her aunt, Bella thought Fiona could be quite the tough talker online, but offline she was a pushover, easily cajoled by her aunts and uncles. After Fiona hung up, Bella asked, "Your aunt is setting you up with another eligible bachelor?"At their age, it was all about marriage and babies. W
When Bella visited Calvin's company again, she noticed a subtle change in Angela's attitude. Previously, Angela had looked at her with cold, dismissive eyes, clearly influenced by Jex's comments about Bella being Calvin's little "mistress." Angela, a proper person who despised unethical relationships, naturally didn't like Bella. But today, Angela was unexpectedly warm, leaving Bella a bit taken aback by her sudden friendliness.Before Bella could speak, Angela got up and led her to a nearby sofa, saying, "Mrs. Tang, Mr. Calvin is in a meeting. Please wait for a moment."Bella was surprised. Did Angela know? Feeling a bit embarrassed, she smiled, and Angela, understanding, said, "Mr. Jex loves to joke around and often catches people off guard.""Yes," Bella agreed, adding, "The higher-ups are promoting the new show, and keeping things under wraps is part of the plan.""I understand," Angela said, turning to pour Bella a glass of water.Suddenly curious, Bella asked, "How many secretar
The phone kept ringing, but Calvin remained unmoved. Bella felt uneasy hearing it, finding her recent position awkward now. Calvin held her still, withdrew, and grabbed a few tissues to clean her up. She blushed, clumsily trying to fix her clothes, but fastening her bra's clasp with her dress on was difficult.Without a word, Calvin took off her dress. She turned her back to him, covering her chest, her face flushed. The scene was undeniably intimate. He couldn't resist brushing her shoulder again, laughing amidst the ringing phone. "If I’d known, I would’ve just taken it off earlier."“Hurry up!” she urged, annoyed by the phone ringing incessantly. Jex’s patience was impressive.“No rush.” Calvin knew Jex; whatever he wanted wasn’t urgent, just idle chatter. He helped her fasten her bra and put her dress back on. Looking at her now, with her face flushed and eyes moist, she looked thoroughly ravished. He couldn’t help but smile.“What are you laughing at?”He shook his head and asked
Jessica turned at the sound of Jex’s voice and gave a seductive smile. Her heavily made-up face seemed about to crack, making Bella secretly worry for her. Fortunately, her concern was unnecessary. Bella was more curious about why Jessica was here at this time. Had she also resigned? That would be troublesome. How would she refuse Jessica if she clung to her persistently?Jex ignored Jessica’s overly made-up appearance and showed no surprise or questions about her presence. He enthusiastically engaged in conversation with her. Jessica seemed to regain her composure, giving the receptionist a disdainful look, but the receptionist, seasoned in handling such provocations, remained unfazed.After warming up with Jex, Jessica finally noticed Bella and Calvin, greeting them in an exaggeratedly sweet manner. Bella thought, "How long has it been since we last met? Jessica’s powers of annoyance have only increased. What has made her even more legendary? She used to shamelessly take advantage,
With Jex's status, he never lacked women throwing themselves at him. To Bella and Fiona, Jessica's behavior seemed bold, but to Jex, it was nothing. He was used to women seeking relationships or hidden rules; the entertainment industry was full of women bolder and more alluring than Jessica.However, Jessica did show some potential for the entertainment industry. Despite Jex's playful rejection, she remained unfazed and even agreed, "That's right. I'm single because I refuse to settle. People say I'm picky because I'm pretty. It's laughable. If I have the means, why shouldn't I be choosy? Those who settle for less deserve the leftovers. If married life isn't better than being single, why get married? I won't settle for less!"Bella suddenly lost her appetite. Why be so harsh? Let her be picky if she wants. Why step on others to elevate herself? If no man on Earth is good enough for her, she might as well go back to Mars. Fiona chuckled, "Men are like computers; even top configurations
