Even he himself was unwilling to admit it. When he watched her gaze longingly at him, he almost couldn’t control himself, wanting to embrace her and take her away!
For the first time, he became so irresolute, despite his usual decisiveness.
After staring at her for a few seconds, he suddenly turned decisively.
"Let’s go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his tall figure had already turned and gotten into the car.
If he stayed a few seconds longer, he feared he wouldn’t be able to leave today!
...
Several black cars left The Hillside Villa at the fastest speed.
The rain was still falling. Summer Shawcross watched the direction the cars disappeared in, and it took a moment before she regained her senses. Instinctively, she reached out her finger to touch the lips he had kissed, which were still red.
His breath still lingered there... and unconsciously, a smile appeared on her face.
"Ma’am, your phone!" The servant hurried over with a ringing phone.
Summer finally came back to her senses, quickly wiping away the slightly star-struck smile from her face, and reached out to take the phone from the servant.
Seeing it was a call from her agent.
"Hello, Jessica..."
"Darling, guess what invitation I just received?" Jessica’s excited voice came from the phone.
Hearing Jessica’s words, Summer was taken aback for a moment and then seriously recalled today’s date and recent major events.
It took her nearly a minute before she suddenly remembered something.
"The Golden Melody Awards opening ceremony?"
"Bingo, how did I never notice how smart you are!" Jessica laughed, then happily praised her.
However, listening to her agent’s compliments, she didn’t feel any joy in her heart.
Did that mean she was stupid before?
"You’ve finally made me proud this time. In the past, when I was trying to get an opening ceremony spot through connections, those people were indifferent to me. Not only did they refuse to help, but they also made snide remarks, saying the artist I represent didn’t have a good reputation! But now, the organizers are the ones asking you to attend this opening ceremony!" Jessica said indignantly, her voice full of excitement.
After listening to her agent, Summer was still a bit surprised.
She hadn’t expected Zeke Sawyer’s help to have such a significant impact on her.
In her previous life, she managed to attend the Golden Melody Awards because her agency used its connections to secure a spot, but some incidents at the Golden Melody Awards later sent her, who was already in a slump, plummeting to the bottom.
This time, she wouldn’t let such setbacks happen again, nor would she let those who harmed her succeed!
Thinking of this, Summer’s grip on the phone tightened a bit.
"This time, we must hold our heads high!" Jessica’s earnest reminder came again.
"Jessica, don’t worry. I know what to do."
"With your assurance, I’m relieved. The Golden Melody Awards opening ceremony is the day after tomorrow. We have only a little over a day left, and we need to prepare well and seize this opportunity!"
After Jessica finished speaking, Summer nodded to herself.
This time, she truly needed to prepare well... because she wanted those who harmed her to receive the retribution they deserved!
...
In the middle of the night.
Summer Shawcross was startled awake by a dream.
When she opened her eyes, a fine sweat had already formed on her forehead.
She propped herself up, feeling a bit dizzy, and reached out to rub her head.
