âDid you realize what you said earlier by accident?â Henry Armstrong smiled as he looked at Georgie. His eyes were full of affection and gentleness.Georgie Clementine frowned slightly at him. âWhat?â she asked blandly.After saying that, she started struggling again.However, it didnât help.There was still a huge gap between her and Henryâs level of strength.Moreover, the scariest part was that, because she kept struggling and rubbing against him, he seemed to beâĶSensing his erection, Georgieâs body instantly shuddered. She didnât even dare to make a sound.Henryâs breathing began to deepen. With her warm and soft body in her arms, his heart started beating wildly once again.An indescribable flame suddenly caused his blood to boil.âBelieve it or not, if you keep moving, Iâll do it to you. Hmm?â Henryâs tone started turning affectionate, and so was his gaze.When Georgie heard this, she settled down. Her face was turning redder, and her heart was beating faster. âYouâĶ Le
Georgie Clementine couldnât resist rolling her eyes at Henry Armstrong. âIn that case, you can go and look for other womenâĶâ She said.Henry let out a long, helpless sigh. âIf I could easily fall in love with someone else, would I still beg you like this every day? DarlingâĶâGeorgie felt moved again by his words.These things he was saying, combined with his behavior last night, as well as the things Xyla Quest said previouslyâĶAfter a while, Georgieâs impression of Henry improved yet againâĶHowever, she still didnât dare to confirm her relationship with Henry so soon.After all, Henry had a history of fooling around.Georgie needed to wait a little longerâĶHenry gently moved closer to her ear. âGeorgie, be with me. Iâll give you all of me, including my life. Alright?â he asked seriously in an affectionate, deep voice.Georgie felt tingles in her body after hearing this.This was the most touching and romantic line in the world.âGive me a little more timeâĶâ Georgie said.H
It was very hard to imagine that a young master like Henry Armstrong, whoâd never cooked before, would be willing to try cooking for Georgie Clementine.Georgie was now slowly able to picture Henry clumsily holding a spatula and a pan while he fried eggs.In her mind, his clumsy appearance was even a little adorable.âDo you have anything like burn cream in the house?â Georgie asked calmly.âYeahâĶ But I heard thereâs a very effective way to treat a burn,â Henry said.âWhat is it?â Georgie asked.âThatâsâĶ Getting the woman one loves to kiss it,â Henry said.Georgie didnât say anything.This fellow couldnât stay serious for more than two seconds. Georgie was feeling a little speechless. âAre you completely shameless?âAfter saying that, Georgie couldnât resist rolling her eyes at Henry again.However, Henry started to laughâAfter that, he ruffled her hair affectionately. âGeorgieâĶ Tell me, why are you so pretty? Hmm?âGeorgie remained silent..âTell me, why do I love you so
In fact, there were even burned prawnsâĶGeorgie Clementine was speechless.This truly was the first time in her life sheâd seen a scene like this.Right then, Henry Armstrong walked over.When he saw this scene, he instantly coughed awkwardly. After that, he looked at Georgie. âAbout thatâĶ WhatâĶ Letâs ignore these detailsâĶ Come with me to the dining room,â he said.Georgie nodded before following Henry into the dining room next door.The dining room was huge.There were French windows on all four sides.From where Georgie stood, she could see the lush greenery in the courtyard.The lively and vibrant view put her in a great mood.In the center of the dining room was a large, round, European-style, grayish dining table.There was a pile of fried eggs on the tableâĶThere were also two sets of saladâĶ As well as a set of sandwiches.Although the fried eggs had tiny traces of being burned, they still looked somewhat edibleâĶMeanwhile, the salad seemed rather appetizing. As for
âHello, Miss Georgie, Iâve decided on casting Josh Batton as the male lead in my new movie.âIt was a WeChat message from Garry Herrman.Last night, he clearly said a few excellent male actors were being considered. He said he needed more time to select someone.Why did he immediately change his mind today?Did the other actors all fail the screening test?Regardless of everything else, Georgie was still very excited to see this message. She instantly replied to it. âAlright. Thank you, Director Herrman. Donât worry. Iâll make sure Josh gets prepared.ââOkay. Iâll send the script to Josh later. Weâll start filming on the thirtieth next month,â Garry replied.âOkayâĶâ Georgie wrote.Georgie felt genuinely happy that she was able to grab such a good opportunity for Josh Batton.At this moment, she couldnât help but smile.âWhy are you smiling?â Henry asked.âNothingâĶâ Georgie chuckled. She didnât want to tell Henry Armstrong too much.Henry looked at Georgie deeply before lowe
Xyla Quest immediately stood up and walked up to Louise Amherst to shake her hand. They then introduced themselves to each other.After that, they cut to the chase.Xyla led Louise over to the coffee table nearby and sat down.Xyla sat on the long couch, while Louise sat on the single couch nearby.After that, Louise equipped an infinite-length lavalier microphone on Xyla and herselfâĶOnce they had equipped the microphones, and the videographers set up their cameras, the interview officially beganâĶThe two smiled, shook each otherâs hand, and greeted each other once again in front of the camera.After that, Louise started saying a bunch of opening remarks.Once she was done, she started asking the questions she had preparedââBased on what I know, Miss Quest, youâre only twenty-two. Your father has already entrusted the company to you at such a young age. Do you feel pressured?â Louise asked.âHmm, to be honest, itâs not too badâĶ Certainly, I do feel some pressure. After all,
The person who arrived was none other than Stanley Batton.He was wearing a black shirt with a matching pair of black pants.Without a necktie on, the three buttons below his collar were also casually left unbuttoned. His sleeves were rolled slightly up to his elbows.He appeared casual with a tinge of laziness.Although it was an ordinary outfit, Stanley made it look unusually noble.There was a large bouquet of roses in his right hand.No matter how good the roses looked, they still couldnât compare to one-ten-thousandth of the manâs good looks.The moment Louise Amherst saw Stanley Batton, she and the three male videographers were all stunned.Even the three heterosexual men couldnât resist the charm of Stanleyâs good looksâĶThe three videographers subconsciously pointed their cameras at Stanley.Louise didnât think sheâd have this unexpected reward from interviewing Xyla Quest today.Louise was able to bump into Stanley, someone who never did any interviews!Stanley loo
After approximately an hour, Xyla Questâs interview ended.Louise Amherst and the others reluctantly left Xylaâs office.Meanwhile, Xyla let out a long sigh as if she were finally relieved of a huge burden.In the past hour or so, she had answered so many questions. Now, her mouth and tongue felt parched, and her throat was scratchy.Xyla opened a bottle of Evianâs and took a sip before walking over to Stanley Batton. Naturally, she sat on his lap and grabbed his phone to look at it. âWhat are you looking at? I saw you looking at your phone the entire time I was doing the interviewâĶâIt was a photo of Xyla on the phone screen.He seemed to have taken it when she was sleeping at some point.It was taken from the side. Moreover, it was taken as a close-up photo. However, she still looked very good in it.Even without a beautifying filter, her skin still seemed flawless, and her facial features were exquisite.Xyla looked like a little fairy who had fallen asleep.Irrevocably, t
Xyla quickly reached for Hannahâs hand. âIs that right? Hannah, youâre amazingâĶ! Youâre practically on par with Leon!âHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. âNot at all.ââOh, cut it out. If you hadnât helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?â Leon chuckled.âI guess Iâve lived up to my promise.â Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. âYes, Hannahâs very capable. Sheâs our family pride.âHannah laughed. âI was lucky to be accepted by your family.âIn fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft
âHannah, Iâve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?â Leon asked, serious.âYes, I amâĶâ Hannah answered without missing a beat.âIâll protect you. From now on, you donât have to worry about a single thing.â With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannahâs face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surrealâĶHannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannahâs dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But nowâĶ Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while
Over time, Leonâs feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannahâs mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasnât a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedâĶThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnât he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldnât utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e
Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymondâs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. âWho are you? Donât you know what youâre doing is illegal?âLeon sneered. âYou donât deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.âLeonâs domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.âMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?â One of the men dressed in black asked.âMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonâs son?!â Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.âHow dare you address our president by name?!â Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif
Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahâs body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. Stammering, she asked, âMr. GrayâĶ What is the meaning of this?â âWhatâs the meaning of this? Ha! Donât you know whatâs good for you? You dumb b*tchâĶ Youâre lucky that I set my sights on you!ââHow dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!ââEven when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!ââDo you think Iâm stupid? That I canât think? Do you honestly think Iâd fall for your lies again and again?â Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o
Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnât about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnât leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond GrayâĶ Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didnât know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.
A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. âMs. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs todayâĶââHe lost his temper and claimed heâd destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another songâĶâ The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there werenât many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didnât respect women at allâĶ Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired
Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. âNice to meet youâĶ Thank you in advance!ââNo problemâĶ Do let me know if thereâs anything you donât like about your makeup too,â Lina said.Hannah nodded. âOkay, sureâĶââBy the wayâĶ Do all the signers here get such good treatment? Iâm surprised weâre even assigned our own makeup artists,â Hannah asked carefully as she wasnât aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannahâs question directly. She held Hannahâs hand casually the next second, âCome here. Iâll start doing your makeup nowâĶâHannah noddedâĶLina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannahâs makeup.An hour later, Hannahâs appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannahâs long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannahâs makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes
Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven oâclock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensenâs office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. âHannah, youâre hereâĶââHereâs the contractâĶâ Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed itâĶRihanna smiled upon seeing this. âOkayâĶ Iâll transfer the money into your account tonightâĶ Iâve told our big boss about your situation. Heâs fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good jobâĶââHe said you can sing without worrying about a single thingâĶ If you need any help in the future, do let us knowâĶâ Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. âThank youâĶ Please thank our big boss for me too.
