âWhat are you doing?â
Xanthea lifted her head, her eyes wide with alarm, as if she were staring at a ruthless kidnapper.
Ever since she got into the car, he had locked her in without explanation, and now he had her strapped to the seat, planning to take her to some remote area in the Everglades to spend the night. If this wasnât the behavior of a kidnapper, what was?
She thought crazed fans were scary enough, but he was proving to be even worse!
âItâs dangerous to behave like this on the highway, Ms. Nightshade.â
âI think youâre the dangerous one here! Let me go, drop me off at a rest stop, or else Iâm calling my uncle to tell him youâve actually kidnapped me!â
Orion looked at her, a faint smirk appearing in his deep eyes. âGo ahead, but do you really think Mr. Lopez will believe you, Ms. Nightshade?â
Xantheaâs heart skipped a beat, recalling the story of the boy who cried wolf. Especially since her uncle trusted Orion so much, he would surely think she was just playing pranks again. It infuriated her!
She wished she could record his sinister smirk right now and show her uncle what kind of person he really was!
âOrion, are you doing this on purpose? To get back at me for biting you earlier?â
âYouâre overthinking it, Ms. Nightshade.â
Orion opened his laptop and began to review some contract documents seriously, seemingly no longer interested in engaging with her.
Seeing him disregard her like she was nothing, Xanthea felt a surge of anger and wanted to bite him again, but trapped in his car, she had no choice but to bow her head.
âOrion, if you let me go now, we can call it even. From here on out, we keep to our own paths, okay?â
âHey, are you even listening to me?â
âI mean, if it helps, Iâll let you bite me back!â
In frustration, she rolled up her sleeve and thrust her arm in front of him.
My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace ï¤Chapter 119 Her fair, smooth skin glimmered in the light of the laptop, catching Orionâs eye. He traced her arm up to her elegant curved neck, over her well-
defined collarbone, and finally rested on the enticing fullness above, his gaze darkening as his Adamâs apple bobbed slightly.
âThe place Ms. Nightshade just bit, it wasnât here.â
Huh?
Xanthea froze for a moment, looking at the fresh bite mark sheâd left on his collarbone. He wouldnât want to bite her in the same spot, would he?
The scoundrel!
She had fallen on him by accident, biting reflexively without thinking much of it. Now, such an intimate and ambiguous spot, if left with a bite mark or scar, could easily be misinterpreted as a love bite. She had filming later on, absolutely not!
It seemed he was rejecting her offer.
Hypocrite, kidnapper, jerk!
Xanthea silently seethed, cursing him in her mind while forcing herself to close her eyes.
Itâs just one night, right? Just wait, once she got through this, she would find a way to get her revenge!
The car finally fell into a long silence. Cedric curiously glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that Ms. Nightshade had fallen asleep â no wonder.
Arguing herself to sleep amidst a quarrel, Ms. Nightshade was truly a unique character. And joking about letting him bite her back had ironically come true.
Actually, his boss hadnât initially planned to take her to the Everglades; he made the decision just because he wanted to keep her away from those obsessive fans.
But unbeknownst to Ms. Nightshade, amidst praising and genuinely admiring the Movie King, she inadvertently stepped right into Irionâs no-go zone, which really led to her being âkidnappedâ by the President, truly an unfortunate turn!
