Chapter 354

? ? ? ? ?

The voice had a hurtful familiar tone, and Raegan turned her gaze to the source. The woman looked strangely familiar. Then it dawned on him. It was none other than Lauren, Mitchel's first love.

Raegan couldn't help but smile. «You must be the infamous mistress?»

With that single sentence, Lauren's face flushed crimson. "What nonsense you are..." Her words stopped mid-insult, realizing that all eyes were staring at her.

Lauren gritted her teeth, she never expected Raegan to be so blunt.

Her careful image as a refined lady was about to be tarnished.

With a smile stained with lingering resentment, Lauren replied, "Oh, please tell me it was a joke."

«A joke? For sure yes". Raegan didn't back down, as Lauren had been the first to use sarcasm.

Cary stepped in to ease the tension: “You are both extraordinary ladies. The design industry is starting to grow thanks to talents like you. "I'm impressed."

"Cary, I'm flattered." Lauren took the moment to smooth things over.

This meeting brought together prominent figures from the design industry, and she was determined to prevent her past from coming to light, which could tarnish her burgeoning career and reputation.

Although his current position in the industry was modest, he had a big shot behind him, and he couldn't allow that big shot to find out anything about his disgusting past.

With this in mind, Lauren chose to hold back, refraining from contributing much to the conversation.

Cary took the lead in most discussions. In reality, this meeting served as a bid selection process.

In the past, smaller studios rarely had the opportunity to compete directly with Studio Alpire, an unwritten rule that had prevailed.

However, with the inclusion of Crescent, of comparable style and influence, the dynamic had changed. There was an air of curiosity among those present, wondering if the makeup and styling company responsible for this year's Sino Entertainment A-list stars would change.

After all, the appeal of celebrities often eclipsed that of even the sexiest advertisements.

Halfway through the meeting, Cary excused himself to go to the bathroom. As the chamber bathroom was occupied, he ventured out.

After a while, Lauren discreetly walked to the bathroom door.

He examined the area, which he found empty, and entered.

The bathroom was spacious and offered a comfortable seating area.

Before Lauren could stand at attention, Cary pulled her up and brushed her waist with his hand.

Lauren rested her knees on the toilet lid, facing the wall.

The mirror behind her reflected the curvaceous nature of her buttocks as she knelt there.

Cary, still in his forties, looked refined with his glasses, but in terms of sex, he seemed unconventional. He had a tendency to look for unusual places to satisfy his desires.

With a push, Cary pressed Lauren against the wall. With that push, her skirt, designed for comfort, rose, revealing her shape, and the sight was tantalizing.

Cary chuckled, eyes half-lidded, and said with a sly smile, "You're such a temptation, darling."

Lauren responded with a flirtatious moan, “All for your pleasure…”

About fifteen minutes later, the two of them were done. Lauren's face turned red. Just when she was getting a little excited, the sex ended abruptly due to Cary's helplessness.

Cary playfully pinched her waist and asked, "Baby, is that good for you?"

Lauren couldn't help but roll her eyes. This had to be one of the most disappointing moments of his life.

He couldn't help but compare Cary to the professional services he had used before. Those young people could perform for hours without pause.

Instead, Cary and his limitations turned out to be a complete disappointment.

However, Lauren blushed on purpose and sweetly replied, "Of course, Cary, you're amazing. How can you be so skillful?

Pleased with her response, Cary pinched her teasingly and said, "It's all thanks to you, my dirty little whore."

Lauren, shamelessly fawning, continued to shower him with compliments: “I could never keep up with you. "You're quite a stud."

Cary smiled contentedly at her words. Raising an arrogant eyebrow, he spanked her hard and said, “You better not go whoring when I'm gone. Have you been seeing other guys?

Lauren responded with a flirtatious laugh: "I promise I only treat you like this..."

Regardless of the truth behind his words, they provided a certain satisfaction that left Cary feeling somewhat distracted.

Once the compliments had run their course, Lauren redirected her attention to the urgent matter. He enveloped Cary in his embrace, his eyes searching for answers. Cary, can we be sure there will be no surprises this year?

The absence of surprises suggested that the contract would probably remain in the hands of Estudio Alpire.

Cary's attitude changed abruptly, becoming serious and cold in response. "This year is full of uncertainty," he responded.

Lauren's expression underwent a rapid transformation and she launched her questions urgently: "What do you mean by 'uncertainty'?"

Explain yourself, Cary.

“This year, Crescent has significant support, courtesy of the Foster family, who have organized a fair competition,” explained Cary.

In the area of ​​large entertainment corporations, clandestine deals were common and often ignored by leaders.

However, the explicit mention of "fair competition" indicated that Crescent had influential supporters.

Although they did not explicitly require cooperation with Crescent, the phrase “fair competition” had nuanced implications.
