At that moment, Ivor decided to tag along the next time Bonnie visited the film set.
Meanwhile, Tatiana returned to her old ways after getting kicked out of the entertainment industry.
She leaned on a wealthy manâs chest and felt sickened.
âYou have to help me, Jonathan. Otherwise, they'll ban me from the industry forever,â Tatiana said as she flirtatiously drew circles on the older manâs chest.
âAre you trying Lo suck me dry, baby?â Jonathan held her hand and fiddled with them.
âThatâs not true. You're strong and have so much stamina. We can pull an all-nighter, yet you'll still be raring to go.â
âYou always know what to say.â Jonathan kissed Tatiana, and she almost barfed her dinner.
âCome on, Jonathanâyou have to help me. Pretty please!â Tatiana suppressed her true feelings and continued to coax him.
Jonathan was turned on and felt like he was on fire. âDonât worry about it. Iâm Xavierâs business partner and his good friend. Some even say weâre like brothers. All I have to do is talk to him, and you'll be back in the industry in no time.â
Tatiana was thrilled when she heard that.
âI know how close Jonathan and Xavier are. If Iâm not mistaken, theyâre related âmaybe distant relatives . Thatâs why I slept with Jonathan in the first place.â
He took his phone and said, âGive me a minute while I call Xavier.â
The call connected in no time. âHey, Xavier, itâs me, Jonathan. I need a favor.â
Meanwhile , Xavier glanced through some documents in his study. He answered the call, âWeâve known each other for so long, Jon. Weâre practically family. It hurts my feelings that you must âcall in a favor.â I thought you considered me family.â
âOf course I do! Youâre even closer to me than my actual brother. Why would I think of you as anything other than family?â
âOkay, what is it, Jon? Iâll do everything I can to help you.â
Jonathan looked at Tatiana, Icaning on his chest and anxiously staring at him. He said, âOne of your celebrities got on your wrong side recently. I wonder if you can be the bigger man and let it go. I'll treat you to a big meal when I can.â
âOh? Who do you mean?â
âThe rising starâTatiana.â
âHuh?!â Xavier was so stunned he had to put down his pen. âTatiana?â
Jonathan had a bad feeling when he heard Xavierâs somber response .
The former asked, âDid she make a huge mess or something?â
Xavier said solemnly, âI canât help you with that, Jonathan.â
âListen, Xavierââ
âNo, you listen to me!â Xavier raised his voice, and his expression grew grim. âSince weâve been friends for a long time, you should take my advice and leave Tatiana. Stop getting involved with her, or youâll get into deep trouble!â
Those words erased any adoration and intentions Jonathan had for Tatiana. He knew his old friend Xavier would not have said that if it were not true.
Jonathan said, âTatiana told me she got fired and banned from the industry because she offended someone named Bonnie. As far as T know, Bonnieâs a country girl whose family disowned her.
Donât tell me she has another identity or something.â
After some thought, Xavier said, âIâm supposed to keep it a secret, but I donât want your life to fall apart, old friend. 1â1l give you a hint, but whether or not you understand it is up to you. However, you canât tell anyone I gave you this hint.â
âAll right, you have my word. What's the hint?"
âBonita.â Immediately after, Xavier hung up.
Jonathan did not understand what Xavier insinuated . âThe former fell into deep thought, âBonita?
What does that mean? What is Xavier trying to hint at? Bonita... Bonnie... Bonita!â
âBonnieâsââ Jonathan almost blurted his thoughts. He caught himself and covered his mouth as his eyes widened in shock.
