"What’s wrong?" The man looked somewhat puzzled at Elliana Lyle’s embarrassed expression.
Elliana slowly turned her back, pouting her cheeks forcefully. Honestly, what exactly was she expecting?
"Nothing! Sleep!" She said and tugged the quilt, covering her head directly with it.
However, the man wasn’t letting it go that easily. He lifted a corner of the quilt from her head and whispered by her ear with his thin lips.
The shallow breath made her ears itch.
She only heard the man say softly by her ear, "Your foot still hasn’t healed, I’m afraid of hurting you."
If the lights were on, the man would certainly see her ears turning crimson at a visible speed.
The only solution now was to pretend to sleep!
As she pretended, she naturally fell asleep, and in her dreams, she vaguely felt herself being embraced, with a kiss landing on her forehead.
Such a comfortable embrace, she couldn’t help but snuggle closer.
Early the next morning, Elliana received a call from Luna.
"Hello~" Sitting on the bed, Elliana yawned and rubbed her eyes before asking, "How’s it going."
She only heard an anxious voice coming from the phone, "It’s not going well, John Shaw is really closed off, can’t get anything out of him, and the others know nothing. They say the main person in charge is John Shaw."
This silence from John Shaw was indeed a problem, since society today can’t resort to forced confession.
John Shaw closed off because of Sister Phoebe, even though she didn’t want Sister Phoebe to have any more involvement with such people, Nancy’s matter was truly important to her.
She sighed slowly and said to Luna, "Let me think of something, I’ll hang up."
She flipped through her contacts, found Phoebe Lyle’s number, hesitated for a moment but still called.
"Hello, Sister Phoebe..."
―――South City, Ning’an Road, Night Dream themed hotel.
On the white large bed was a couple entwined, the sounds that could make one’s heart race and face blush, were just six big words to the person under the bed.
The man on the bed was none other than George Lyle.
Luna sighed somewhat helplessly; had she known, she would have called Elliana after leaving, but she didn’t manage to get out before hearing footsteps.
Too late to jump out the window, she had no choice but to hide under the bed, not knowing when this stomach-churning sound would end.
"Mr. George, could you tip me some more? My monthly performance relies solely on you." The woman on the bed cooed.
Only to hear the man snap viciously, "Serve me right, and I’ll tip you." Followed by a heavy slap.
Luna, bored, took out her phone which was already silenced, dimmed the brightness, and started a game.
One round of the game reached the end page, and the commotion above her stopped a minute later, followed by rustling sounds, seemingly clothing.
A woman, alluring and seductive, zipped up her bodycon skirt, smilingly looked at the fat man smoking beside the bed, and said sweetly, "Mr. George, then I’ll be off, I have to stream in the afternoon."
Though smiling on the surface, the woman was already disgusted in her heart by the man lying on the bed.
The woman’s name was Pan Sisi, a dancing web celebrity on a streaming platform; after just transferring to a new platform this month, her popularity was dwindling, but unexpectedly received over ten thousand in gifts from a man named Mr. George.
Not only that, but he privately transferred several thousand through WeChat, hence she agreed to meet.
George Lyle smoked, looking a bit impatient; this woman was nothing special, lacking any of her streaming purity.
Then he took off the gold necklace from his neck and tossed it on the ground.
The piercing sound of metal hitting the floor startled Luna under the bed, but upon seeing it was a gold necklace, she understood what it meant and quickly pressed the screen off her phone.
Pan Sisi’s eyes lit up at the sight of the golden chain on the floor, didn’t hesitate to pick it up, "Thanks, Mr. George."
Seeing the man on the bed smoking, not intending to respond to her, Pan Sisi knew it was time to leave, "Then, Mr. George, I’ll be off."
After a while, Luna heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom; taking advantage of George’s bath, she quickly crawled out from under the bed.
She first cautiously checked the bathroom door, hurriedly checked the bed thoroughly.
The pillow was mostly covered with the woman’s hair; after searching for a long time, she finally found a short hair. For accuracy, she also collected the long hair.
Just as she was packing the collected hair by the bed, the water sound from the bathroom stopped, followed by the sound of the door handle being turned!
"Lana, can I have another bag?"
Lana standing next to Elliana, suddenly troubled, said with a suppressed smile, "No, Ma’am, you can’t have more."
It’s not about denying Elliana a favor, but Elliana had already eaten three bags, Lana really didn’t dare give her more.
Elliana turned her head, continuing to watch TV. Norman Bennett had already returned to the company due to work, leaving only her and one person, Zane Bennett and Summer Hue were also nowhere to be found.
Her foot was not healed, couldn’t go out, she could only sit alone on the sofa watching boring TV dramas.
Half an hour later, Summer Hue returned.
And brought back a camera and a bunch of cosplay costume props.
Clearly, it was about shooting an advertisement, only she didn’t expect Summer Hue to be so fast, having just mentioned it yesterday, all was ready today.
After placing the items properly, Summer Hue picked out necessary clothes and urged Elliana, "Let’s go, I’ll change your clothes."
Once dressed, Elliana thought her cosplay profession should be Grandma, her light green ancient costume, fresh and elegant.
"Just sit by this wall."
Summer Hue had already picked up the camera, while Elliana had to hold the reflector herself, constantly adjusting position, doing various poses according to her requests.
Unexpectedly, the shoot was quick, finished in ten minutes, much easier than her previous outdoor ad shoots.
Summer Hue looked at the captured photos, quite satisfied, mentioning a bit of editing and they were ready to use, then said, "When your foot heals, I’ll have someone shoot a MV for you, as we have Melody Harmony Group’s investment; we plan to test public next month."
"Oh," she said, no wonder Zane Bennett and Norman Bennett were in the study for half a day yesterday, turns out they were securing investment from Norman’s company.
"Yeah, we’ve already beta tested, want to try it?"
Lana was currently helping Elliana remove props, Elliana fiddled with the magic wand in her hand, saying, "Beta probably doesn’t have many people? I’ll wait for the public test, more lively with more people."
"Alright, once the pictures are done, promote it on Weibo for me, I’ve got to get busy now."
With that, Summer Hue left with the camera, not giving Elliana a chance to speak...
"I need a shower, these clothes smell like glue."
"Hello, Sister Phoebe."
"Elliana, my flight’s tonight, I’ll probably reach South City by tomorrow morning."
