“Your defeated opponents would be furious if they heard you say that. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t rattle you—yet someone as incredible as you claims to lose his temper so easily.”
Asher stayed silent, his gaze steady on Wendy.
“Was I wrong just now?” Wendy blinked her dark, glistening eyes. “What part wasn’t right?”
Though she was the one hurting, the one weighed down by sadness, seeing him so anxious and worried made her want to comfort him instead.
Asher cradled Wendy’s face and kissed her.
The kiss was gentle, lacking their usual intensity—nothing like the desperate, fiery ones where their bodies seemed to fuse together. Lips met lips, nipping lightly, parting with traces of saliva glistening at the corners.

The Rising Temperature between Me and My “Step-brother” Chapter 244: 275°F
Whether it was her lengthy commute or her frugality with food expenses, Wendy didn't feel embarrassed. But in front of her ex-boyfriend who had already soared to great heights, any comparison—or even just saying it out loud without comparing—felt a bit pitiful."Actually, I'm really doing quite well," Wendy paused. "Asher, how are Simone and the others?"Asher: "Mm."Wendy: "That's good."Mid-conversation, Jessica's message came through. She was concerned about whether Wendy had gotten home safely and also asked if Wendy knew Asher, because of what Wendy and Asher had said about him taking her to the intersection to catch a ride. After all, other girls hadn't even dared to think about getting into his car yet.Plus, Jessica remembered that both of them had attended SU, and Zara's reaction to Wendy was so intense, as if they had known each other before.Seeing Wendy frowning at her phone in the rearview mirror, Asher turned to loo

The black SUV glided smoothly along the highway, passing countless flickering neon signs. Wendy rolled down the window a little, letting the cool night air rush into the cabin, dispelling the inexplicable heat of the July evening.How did he know she worked at TAL?Wendy's heart beat a little faster. Maybe he had seen the staff list, or overheard someone mention it?Then why did he later suggest switching the shoot to have him do it?Things like this—you could never know the answer by guesswork alone. As long as you didn't ask, they remained forever as unconfirmed speculation.But given their current situation, she couldn't just ask Asher directly. Wendy's mind was a tangled mess. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and leaned back. She didn't want to worry about it anymore.Nothing was wrong. She was perfectly fine on her own. Why did he have to show up?It wasn't like anyone missed him so much they couldn't sleep—sh

Just as she was about to blurt out, "He doesn't like me," Wendy caught herself. Saying that reason out loud felt like an admission.Wendy said, "We're not suited for each other.""If that's the reason, then let me tell you, you are suited! You're perfect for each other!"After saying this, Zara pulled Wendy to go find Asher. With one hand being held by Zara and the other holding a wine glass, it was hard enough just keeping the wine from spilling, let alone trying to push Zara away. So, she was dragged right in front of Asher."Asher, Wendy is looking for you!"The man lowered his eyes to look at her. "What is it?"Wendy stared at Asher with a panicked expression. That wasn't true!Surrounded by people, Wendy knew she had to say something, no matter what."I... I wanted to ask if... you could..."Give her an autograph? Take a photo with her?Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Asher's car by the entr

"I don't get the feeling that Asher and his sister are very close. Look at how she's acting all spoiled, but Asher doesn't react at all.""Yeah, he's so cool!""Enough, stop being such a fangirl. Asher isn't like other athletes; he hardly has any scandals. I don't think he's coming up here."The conversation between the two girls who walked over to the bar caught Wendy's attention.Indeed, she had been tense for so long, but Asher hadn't come upstairs. With the alarm lifted, Wendy breathed a sigh of relief. But just as she reached Jessica's side, someone came up the stairs.It was the sound of two sets of footsteps with different rhythms.Taking a cue from a bold girl who approached him first, Asher was quickly surrounded by enthusiastic influencers the moment he reached the top of the stairs. He was wearing a white Phoenix Suns practice tank top and blue jeans, his shoulders broad and straight, his muscles strong. Sincere exclamations—"So buf

Wendy's memory was correct. Zara's university was indeed in D state, and she was just staying in New York for a short time during the summer break.Zara's boyfriend, Grant Holland, had transferred to the Suns during this year's trade period. Additionally, July happened to be Asher's birthday month, with his birthday on the 17th, which was next week.On top of that, it was currently the team's training period; the regular season wouldn't start until September. During this time, every move the players made was of great interest to fans and the media. Zara was trying to build her online channel, and Asher and Grant were her best topics and sources of traffic.Zara had countless reasons to be in New York, so she assumed Wendy was the same—work was one part of the reason, and Asher was another.But Zara hadn't expected Wendy to be so heartless.Jessica's pure white villa had a basement, so a high set of steps led up to the front door. Incessant squeals from

"Wendy is truly amazing. She's always punctual with all her work, never procrastinates, and she's managed my Chinese account brilliantly."Jessica lifted her chin, in a blatant show of pride.Zara had heard enough and went to a nearby table to get a drink.Jessica didn't notice—she wasn't close with Zara. Theirs was more a friends-of-friends relationship."She's helped me secure many commercial deals, but most importantly, she's very smart. She vets all my videos. Whenever there's a sensitive social topic, she immediately flags it for me to change. Wendy majored in International Relations at SU for her undergrad. She's really helped me a lot."As soon as Jessica finished, someone nearby asked, "Wendy, do you still have time for a part-time job?""Hey! I won't allow you to poach her!" Jessica shielded Wendy, then noticed the paper bag she was holding."Is this for me?"Wendy handed the gift over. "Yes, for your five-year anniversary. I
