Hadnât she promised herself that the next time she saw Orion, she would definitely give him a piece of her mind? But when the time came, not only did Xanthea not give him any grief at all, she ended up shamelessly accepting a meal from him. Worse yet, she had even taken leftovers home! It was utterly spineless!
How could she face him next time and righteously criticize him the next time they met?
One thing was clear: as a leader, Orion knew exactly how to win people over.
Staring at the gift box in her handâwhich girl could resist a sweet cherry-topped mousse cake?
Orion: âMs. Nightshade, good night.â
Although Xanthea didnât want to engage, there was an old saying that one should not bite the hand that feeds. Thus, before closing the door, she still managed to say, âGood night, sweet dreams!â
But that didnât mean she had forgiven him! Or that she had, well, best to try the cake first!
Had she just greeted him?
Orion paused, his hand on the doorknob, savoring her âsweet dreamsâ over and over before finally closing the door.
The large room felt empty and silent, devoid of any of the joy or liveliness when the girl was present.
He slowly pulled his hand from his pocket, revealing a piece of delicate, sexy lace underwear embroidered with a cute Hello Kittyâher favorite cartoon character from childhood.
For the first time, he was this close to herâseparated only by a wall, so close her most intimate piece of her clothing in his palm, yet he felt it wasnât enough, nowhere near enough.
He desired to have her, to embrace her, to kiss her, to possess her completely and perhaps even to confine her to a place where she could only ever see him.
Despite knowing he shouldnât get close, he repeatedly lost control, indulged himself again and again, until he was too deep in the mire to let go.
In the misty night, the glow of a cigarette lit up the pink Hello Kitty and the manâs face, which was slightly contorted by strong desire, as if the gentleman shedding his disguise to reveal his true, sinister self.
Cedric was awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call, âHello, boss, itâs late, do you have any instructions?â

âWhen is the launch event for âRealm of Illusionsâ?â
âThe day after tomorrow, at the Glory Building.â Cedric perked up at the mention of âRealm of Illusions,â âBoss, youâre not planning to attend Ms.
Nightshadeâs launch, are you? The trip to Highcliff for the Everhart family has already been scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and you have a very important contract to discuss!â
âIâm just passing by.â
Hearing the phone click off, Cedric put down his phone in resignation.
He knew his boss wouldnât miss any chance to see Ms. Nightshade, even if she was still mad at him.
Before Ms. Nightshade had even noticed the President, he had gone out of his way to create coincidental meetings and gather information about her, not to mention now that Ms. Nightshade occasionally flirted with him, the President definitely couldnât resist!
Upon arriving at Oli·hea Media, Xanthea immediately noticed Oliver and Benjamin, who had been waiting for her in the office for a long time.
âUncle, here I am... Movie King, what are you doing here?â
Oliver explained, âBenjamin thought it would be better to go with you to the launch event today, to avoid any nonsense from the gossip media.â
âNonsense?â
âYouâre new to the industry. Benjaminâs status and popularity far exceed yours, and itâs his first time in a TV series. If he arrives late, those marketing accounts will claim he took the role only due to financial pressures and is not interested in working with you. If he arrives early, theyâd spin it as you are playing a diva.â
