Chapter 18 Tongue-tiedTinsley was stunned because she didn't think about it, and so she couldn't help stuttering, "But that…""Yeah, so what if you're known as a White Tigress who goes around in a mask?" Rory rolled her eyes because she knows that what Tinsley wanted to say was that she is a masked author so president Jarek won't care that she appears in a mask."Getting to know your identity is damn easy for someone like president Jarek so why would you need to go over in a mask when he's meeting you barefaced."Even though Rory's explanation sounds crazy, it doesn't sound like that in Tinsley's ears as she fell deep into thoughts while musing on Rory's words.Seeing that Tinsley had begun to buy her words, Rory became enthusiastic, "You're known to be anonymous but if you showed your face to President Jarek, he'd have the thoughts that you respect him and you're eager for the collaboration which will put you and your book in good hands." Rory explained which made Tinsley fall deep
Chapter 19 JasonA frown blossomed on Tinsley's face when she heard Jason spit out Jarek's name. She has always been strict with the feeds that the children saw, so how can Jason know about Jarek? "Who told you his name?" She asked Jason in a gentle and carefree manner but inwardly, she was nowhere near that.Jarek already knew his mom would ask and the way his mom was asking about that person made him unhappy. "Aunty Rory has his magazine." He stated blankly, which made her nod in understanding.Tinsley sighed in relief, but Rory was amazed by the boy's sharp eyes. Since Jason had mostly been stuck up watching TV, she found it incredible that Jason saw the magazine."Hey little Jason, you were quick enough to see that…"Jason stared at her disdainfully, "I'm not blind." He stated, which made Rory and Tinsley's lips part in bewilderment.(...) Jason is definitely in a bad mood this morning.But Rory was more interested in the news about her potential couple, "When did you meet Jarek?
Chapter 20 Meeting JarekTinsley expected the ninth floor to be filled with luxurious and blinging things, but she was surprised to see that the ninth floor was decorated to be homely and warm in order to make whoever is in here feel at home.Besides, every single decoration of it was a low-key but expensive limited-edition product.She steeled her nerves and walked inside, toward the dining room. The ninth door was built like a house. There was a fake courtyard and after it was the dining table.Tinsley finds herself breathless upon seeing president Jarek.Jarek was sitting on an expensive chair, three of his shirt buttons were unbuttoned, which showed his chest. His sleeves were rolled up which showed his muscular arms. Jarek was looking cold and handsome and his presence made every other thing pale.Jarek was busy on his phone but once he heard her approach, he looked up at her.Jarek was stunned to see the beautiful young lady. He never expected the writer of those amazing and sen
Chapter 21 Wild ThoughtsNot only did Jarek receive Tinsley's handshake, he even kissed her hand and asked her to call him by his name, which was so strange. Now, he's asking her to introduce herself when they should be talking business.Tinsley straightened her back, "President Jarek, you should have done an investigation before you decide to meet with me or didn't you?" She asked with a calm smile that stunned him.Jarek was taken aback for a few seconds; he never expected that Tinsley would answer his question with her own question, and it made him amused. "No," he replied."Why?" Tinsley blurted out unconsciously before she could recollect herself.She's not even afraid to question him. So courageous. "I don't need to." Jarek finds himself answering and at the same time, liking Tinsley's cute and straightforward manner.Unlike most women he met in the past, Tinsley was real and the most beautiful. And at the same time different from her two-faced sister, Lillee."Why don't you nee
Chapter 22 Request"The contract is fine with me," Tinsley uttered and placed the contract on the table calmly. "But I have a request," Tinsley uttered, which made him nod coldly."I want to be in charge of casting my actors," Tinsley muttered, which made him nod nonchalantly. He knew she'd definitely have that request.Jarek leaned forward, "I also have a request," he said, which made Tinsley smile slightly."I don't think President Jarek would be requesting for something considering that you're in charge of the whole cost of the production." She says."Taking actions without request will make me seem like a bad investor, won't it?" He asked, which made her scoff inwardly. Who doesn't know that president Jarek doesn't take permission? But why is he so unusual toward her?She faked a smile, "You're right. I'd like to hear President Jarek's request." Tinsley answered."I have someone auditioning for a female role," Jarek uttered which made her heart begin to sting without reason.It se
Chapter 23 BacklashesHearing that question made Mason forget his anger, "Cool.""What if he wants to snatch mom?" Jason tried to hide his worry."A cool man doesn't snatch," Mason says with a grin that irritates and worries Jason."Are you stupid? I'm asking what if.""I don't know. You are the stupid one. Hump!" He growled out in annoyance and began to walk away.Jason knew he was wrong and he quickly stopped Mason by pulling his hand back, "I'm sorry."Mason frowned but he sat down. "What are you thinking about?""That... what if President Jarek stole mum from us and dad?""Mom loves us so much, who is President Jarek?" Mason said with disdain for Jason's thought.Jason immediately nodded his head. Yes, he has been worrying too much."You're right," Jason said and Ariel began to walk over while holding a doll but before she could say anything, the horn of a car was heard which made Jason bolt to the door"Finally, mom is back." He said. But when he looked at the time, his mood fell
Chapter 24 Conrad (1)"Conrad," Lillee called in a voice filled with happiness. She quickly and happily jumped on Conrad immediately as he entered the mansion.Conrad tapped her soft cheeks playfully and kissed her forehead, "Did you miss me?" He asked her which she nodded her head to repeatedly."I do. I do." Lillee said with a shy, beautiful laugh which made him kiss her lips again and again."Stop being this way in front of my parents, be modest." Lillee chided with an innocent face and soft, shy expression that tickled his heart repeatedly."They know we're engaged. And it's normal." Conrad whispered and kissed her lips once more."You're so naughty, Conrad." Lillee pouted with a red face."I can show you more naughty on our wedding night." He said and bit her lips gently which made her hit his chest playfully."Sigh. All this younger generation doesn't put the elders into their eyes anymore," Mr William said with fake anger.Mrs. William came out of the kitchen carrying a dish fi
Chapter 25 Conrad (2)Lillee is really good at pretense and her act successfully made her parents and Conrad feel sad for her while cursing Tinsley inwardly.Seeing their sad actions, Lillee bowed her head and a smug glint flashed past her face. That's good, let them keep hating Tinsley, so she'd never come back.Conrad pulled her into his embrace and wrapped her hand around him, "Lillee, stop blaming yourself. It is all the Vixen's fault. If she never pretends to be you. None of that would have happened to her. Why can't you just be angry at her for once? She almost took me away from you, so stop crying on her behalf?" Conrad chided in a gentle voice.Lillee used her finger to wipe her tears away. "I know I should, but I can't help worrying about Tinsley. We don't know her state." Lillee explained softly."She'll be fine," Conrad said. "I'll continue to search for her for you, okay?" He asked in an insincere tone which she pretended not to notice as she nodded to him. "Right, have yo
