3Later on, while he was asleep, Belle got up and found herself something to eat. She was starving to death, but she didn't have any appetite.Despite that, she had to have some food.She had to conserve her strength. The day of her getting freedom was around the corner.She took out a carton of milk from the refrigerator and forced herself to drink it. When she raised her hand, she saw the bruise on her wrist.It was left when she first got kidnapped here. To avoid her from fleeing, Louis tied her hands behind her back.Later, as he gradually trusted her, he untied her.She got along very well with him these days. He was even willing to let her out, but he would secretly follow after her.It was an accident that she met her classmate yesterday. Then she came up with that plan.Without that classmate, how could she find a way to get out of her current situation?However, that came with a price. She was forced to have sex with him all night. Moreover, he got more frantic and u

8A few days later, Belle received a contract about First Kiss.She read through it, and when she made sure that everything was okay, she asked Brandan to sign it.The remuneration they offered wasn't very handsome. It was 3 million dollars. But it contained an earnout in the contract. If the TV drama sold well and was the most-watched, Belle's company could get about 9 million dollars. If it didn't sell well, Belle's company would pay the investor 50% of their investment. That meant that they would lose money.However, according to the current situation, it was impossible for this TV drama not to receive a high audience rating.A week after signing the contract, Brandan headed to the site to shooting scenes.It was a high-budget television drama with famous directors. What was more, it was adapted from a popular novel that went viral on Twitter. There was no way Belle's company would give up such a good opportunity to propagandize it. They attached so much importance to Brandan'

12When they shoot scenes the next day, Howard threw a fit.Brandan somehow performed poorly. He even had to shoot a simple scene many times.The director called for a break, the look in his eyes showing how mad he was at Brandan.Due to his poor performance, the staff's workload increased. They were exhausted and complained.Brandan felt frustrated when they looked at him reproachfully. He stayed in the nanny car sulking, refusing to shoot scenes.The assistant tried to persuade him many times, but it was to no avail. He had no choice but to call Belle for help.When her phone rang out, Belle was in her father's office. The atmosphere was intense.She and her father had a big fight. Her father thundered and said she hadn't come home in the past few years and now she come to him for properties."You're not my daughter," he shouted at her.Belle had thought that he had no longer treated her like his own these years. Instead, he doted on her half-sister. Despite that, his words

17"What brought you here, Ms. Murphy?" Louis' assistant kept her from the vehicle.An assistant was so arrogant?Belle concealed the displeasure and said, "I want Reed. I have something for him.""Hold on. I'll ask him first," the assistant said before he entered the car.He closed the door with a loud sound.His actions left Belle speechless.After a while, the assistant got out and said with a smile, "Sorry, he is drowsy. He said you can come to him another time if it's about work. He's on his break now."Belle obviously didn't expect to be rejected twice.It was evident that he was obviously doing it on purpose.He had had personality changes. Why did he become so indifferent?"Can I have a minute with him if it's about personal stuff?" she continued.She was reluctant to give up like that.Her request put the assistant in a difficult spot.Belle thought to himself, "Now that he has forgotten me, then I'm just a nobody to him."On second thought, since they had just

20It was a long drive to the hotel.The two of them sat in the car silently. It was so quiet that an embarrassing atmosphere surrounded them.While Belle was playing with his phone, she felt a weight on her shoulder.Startled, she turned to only find that he had rested his head on her shoulder with his eyes shut.She was a bit annoyed and awkward."Get off me," Belle said, pushing his head away.But in the next second, he leaned on her shoulder again.She wanted to get him off her again, but he groaned in pain and frowned."I feel a little uncomfortable," he said in a hoarse voice. He made it sound like he didn't feel well.Since he didn't look well, she thought it would be too mean of her to push him away. But she really couldn't standing coming into contact with others."Hang on. We're almost there," she said as she still got him off her.He didn't open his eyes and just leaned against the back seat. She didn't know if he was asleep or not.After a while, he asked her w
