Summer Monroe felt her cheeks heat up, awkwardly covering her nose and coughing lightly, saying, "Then I’ll go take a hot shower..."
Since returning home, she hadn’t been exercising daily. Previously, she had spent a tough week on a deserted island, and her body had taken a toll, possibly because of this, her body wasn’t as good as before.
Damian Knight found Summer Monroe’s awkwardness amusing, and a smile involuntarily appeared at the corner of his lips.
But once he realized he was smiling, he quickly pressed his thin lips together.
The nearby hotel was quickly reached.
It happened to be one owned by Knight Group.
Damian Knight had a private suite in the hotel’s chain, and he directly accompanied Summer Monroe to the luxurious suite on the top floor.
"They will bring the clothes to you. I’ll be waiting here."
Damian Knight boldly sat on the sofa, holding a tablet in his hand to deal with business affairs.
His long fingers lightly tapped on it, his brows furrowed, indicating some company matters were not going smoothly.
Summer Monroe didn’t expect Damian Knight to stay in the suite instead of leaving.
It was her first time showering with a man in the room, making Summer Monroe feel inexplicably awkward.
But since Damian Knight was so focused on the tablet dealing with business, voicing her discomfort now seemed overly sensitive.
Summer Monroe thought for a moment, decided not to say anything, and directly walked to the bathroom.
However, she wasn’t aware that Damian Knight didn’t know what he was doing on the tablet throughout, and only when he received the system prompt "input error command," did he come back to his senses and exhale heavily.
He lowered his gaze, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff and exhaled, repeating several times until he finally felt his inner frustration ease a little.
But the next moment, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
"Damn..." Damian Knight couldn’t sit still any longer, stood up directly, and walked out.
As soon as he stepped out, the assistant came over with a bag of clothes.
"Young Master Knight..." The assistant got nervous immediately.
Damian Knight glanced at the assistant and asked, "Did you make the call?"
The assistant nodded apprehensively.
She saw Selina repeatedly having Summer Monroe film scenes of rain-drenched shots and remembered the instructions from the manager at Midnight Coffee House, so she called the main manager.
Unexpectedly, Damian Knight directly rushed to the scene himself.
The next moment, she heard Damian Knight say, "From now on, you will follow Summer Monroe. You don’t need to go to Knight Global Entertainment anymore."
The assistant was shocked: "CEO... Are you going to fire me?"
Damian Knight said, looking somewhat puzzled, "Fire you for what? From now on, you’re an employee at Knight Headquarters, but your work remains the same. If Summer Monroe has any issues that can’t be resolved, call me directly."
Damian Knight said this, pulling out a business card from his pocket: "It has my contact information."
The assistant was overjoyed, unable to express it with words, and could only keep thanking him: "Thank you... thank you, Young Master Knight!"
"It’s not a free card. If I find out she’s been wronged again, you can get lost."
"Yes! I will take good care of Miss Monroe!" The assistant’s hands were trembling with excitement as she held the business card.
"Alright, deliver the clothes inside. I’ll wait for her in the lobby."
"Yes, CEO!"
The assistant suppressed her excitement and happily walked into the suite.
She could see clearly now, Summer Monroe was her hope in life; if Summer Monroe was good, she would be too, otherwise... she might end up like Selina.
In the bathroom, Summer Monroe had finished her shower but felt a bit uneasy; her clothes were all soaked through and couldn’t be worn again, so she only had a bath towel wrapped around her.
Damian Knight said the clothes would be sent over, but she was done showering and there was no sign of them.
So should she go out wrapped only in a bath towel?
