Billionaire substitute bride Why should I bet with you?
Maria was quite certain she had never met the man before. He had not appeared at the banquet that night nor during the filming of the past few days. She hadn't the slightest clue what she could've done to offend him.Looking towards Director Grant with a puzzled expression, she questioned, "Director Grant, who is him...?"Director Grant let out a hearty laugh, patting his belly, "Ah, Mia, here's the thing. You're a hobbyist, not a professional. So, for the sake of the film's quality, I specially hired this gentleman, an amateur pool champion."Pausing for a moment, he added with a polite smile, "Don't take it the wrong way, Mia. I'm not saying you're bad at the pool. But San Diego is a small place, and we really don't know what the standard of the reigning 'Angel' is. So just for our film quality, you understand, right?"Maria did understand. She was generally easygoing, seldom taking offense unless deliberately provoked."I see, Director Grant. In that case, let's get started.""Go
Billionaire substitute bride And admit that you’re a loser!
Maria’s laughter echoed in the room, a mix of amusement and disbelief. "Why should I compensate you? Haven't you already been paid by Director Grant?"Maria had become a precious asset in Director Grant's eyes, and he wouldn't stand by while she was mistreated.He bristled at Samuel Wright's audacity, his face hardening. "Samuel Wright! Stop making a fuss. I know we delayed a day, but I compensated you. You've done nothing and received a good sum. You should feel lucky!"Samuel's anger stemmed from the fact that despite being hired for a handsome sum, he had not been valued. Hearing Director Grant air his grievance in front of the entire crew, suggesting he had somehow benefited unfairly, only stoked his rage."Who needs your money? What I value is my time! Do you know how much I can make by playing a game? The money you gave me isn't even worth my time!""If it's not worth your time, why are you here?" Director Grant, known for his temper, wasn't one to be disrespected.He stepped f
Billionaire substitute bride Oh no… I’m running late.
A wave of laughter rippled through the room, causing some people to turn.Maria’s adorable audacity was infectious.Guffaws echoed around the room.What man would willingly admit he is a loser to the whole world?The harshness of this condition was what made it so amusing.Samuel Wright gritted his teeth, irritation seeping into his features. Did they think his championship in the amateur competition was a fluke?"Fine, we'll bet!" He barked, his grip tightening around his pool cue. "Don't try to wriggle out if you lose!"Luna stepped forward, positioning herself next to Maria, "Rest assured. As Mia’s manager, I'll oversee the apology if Young Master Smith loses.I promise it will be to your satisfaction."Maria looked at Luna, surprised. Luna's support was something that would have been unthinkable in the past.Clearly, Luna was going out of her way to please her, even to the point of disregarding Mia’s honor. It seemed Charles was right about her intentions.Since filming had to co
Billionaire substitute bride You are amazing !
The billiard room where Charles decided to play was neither near nor far from the film set. It required a few minutes by car, or over ten minutes on foot.Maria was familiar with the location, and her anxiety to see Charles made her sprint down the narrow path without hesitation.Her slender figure moved swiftly, much faster than girls her age. The urgency in her heart propelled her forward, and remarkably, she covered the distance in just under ten minutes.As soon as she spotted the billiard room, she rushed inside."Charles..."She called out as she ran, but her breathless panting stopped her from calling out his name again. She finally found the room Charles had given her the address for. Placing her hands on the door, she pushed it open forcefully, " Charles..."The room swung open before her eyes, revealing an empty space, save for the pool table and a single person Charlie was leaning against the pool table. Hearing her voice, he gently lifted his eyelids, a warmth in his ey
Billionaire substitute bride Win-win situation
With a raised eyebrow, Charles tilted his head towards her. "Do you really think I would lose?""Of course not," she retorted. "You wouldn't have accepted the challenge if you didn't have some skills."Maria’s amber eyes sparkled as she continued, "I guess I stole your thunder last time. You didn't even show your full potential. I wonder who is the real deal, you or me. How about... we find a chance to spar?""You?" Charles shook his head with a mischievous grin, "I don't play games with women."Maria's rosy lips pouted instantly, and she huffed, "You look down on women!"Charles was caught off guard. He didn't mean to belittle women, let alone Maria. He simply believed he had an upper hand in a competitive match against a woman.But given Maria’s infuriated look, he had to reconsider.After a thoughtful pause, a devilish smirk flashed across his face, "Alright. But you know, there's no fun in a game without stakes.""Oh, definitely!" Maria's foxy tail twitched up in excitement, swayi
Billionaire substitute bride I hate Maria
Luna sat on the couch, watching Mia across the room. Mia was alternating between anger and smugness over something on Twitter, and Luna frowned in irritation."Mimi," she said, considering the situation, "you should step back from the shoot. Let Maria take over and finish the film."When Mia looked up at Luna, Luna had already concealed the irritation in her eyes. Luna was the considerate, protective older sister Mia knew.Mia didn't read into it, but frustration bubbled up within her. "Why, Luna? The marks on my body are fading. A bit of concealer can cover them, and they're nearly invisible without it."She had stayed home for days to hide the love bites on her neck. This morning, seeing the marks almost gone, Luna told her that Maria would take over the shooting, kicking her out of the film. Anybody would be upset by this.Watching Mia’s outburst, Luna shook her head but replied calmly, "Mimi, it's mainly because of Maria. She's shown off her pool skills on set, even challenging
Billionaire substitute bride Three day?
Today marked the last day that Maria had agreed to stand in for Mia during the filming.Ever since that day, Luna had been accompanying Maria to the set daily. Partly to forge a good relationship with Maria, and partly to win over Charles.So, she waited early outside Charles' room. She arrived early but chose not to ring the bell, opting to wait quietly by his door instead.In a short while, the door opened and Maria emerged.As usual, Luna peered into the room and didn't see Charles, so she grabbed Maria and shut the door behind them."Maria..."She began in a hushed tone, leading Maria towards the elevator while she spoke, "Can you finish filming this movie for Mia?""Huh?"Maria paused in surprise, "Where's Mia? Has she...?"The thought of Alexander, the man with the seductive eyes who had Charles, filled her with rage.Luna licked her lips, whispering, "No, she's been in her room doing nothing. But Maria, your performance on set has been exceptional lately. If Mia suddenly replac
Billionaire substitute bride You are not resisting anymore?
Luna and Charles didn't try to stop her. Luna even chuckled, "Poor Mimi, she's beaten."She didn't want to keep them waiting, so Maria made a beeline for the restroom. But about ten meters out, she saw a man at the entrance -- a man she knew.A rush of anger surged within her as she recognized him under the dim streetlight."Alexander, you're guarding the restroom now?"She didn't run away but went toward him. On her wrist was a monitor bracelet from Charles . Even if Charles was not watching now, she could use this as evidence when she told him about Mia’s matter later.To his surprise, Alexander had not expected "Mia" to approach him. He gave a slight smirk, his eyes full of lewd amusement."Miss me, Mia?""In your dreams! Bastard!"Maria cursed, yet she stopped when she was about ten feet away from Alexander.Even if she intended to gather evidence, she had to ensure her safety first."Oh, the pianist has a potty mouth..."She didn't move, so Alexander did, closing the distance be
