Ch. 71..75: Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire Chapter 71-75
Chapter 71: Humiliated In Public
There was an increasing loud scream of surprise. Lily Lawrence shoved through the crowd as well. “Why are you screaming? It’s just a man.” But she also screamed when she saw who it was. She even took a step backward out of excitement.
That step was right on Khloe’s foot. “Lily, you can see Cliff Benjamin every day. Why are you so excited, like the others?” Khloe criticized her with dissatisfaction. What Khloe had said was what Cliff had wanted to hear. He squinted slightly.
“No, no, no, Khloe, it’s my husband!”
“Your husband? Don’t you just have a sugar daddy?” Khloe replied with an expression of disbelief.
Lily was too thrilled to say another word. She waved and danced, but she still couldn’t speak a whole sentence.
Lily was the one who had just mocked Kylie for sleeping with the director, and had just claimed that she would never yield, even if the man was her Prince Charming!
But, this man was more than a Prince Charming to her. Lily wanted to take back everything she had just said. Forget the director, and she would be willing to sleep with the whole crew to act alongside this man!
Khloe looked over. Director Johnson was smiling from ear to ear, and gripped the motorcycle’s handlebars, as though he was worried that the man would escape.
The man had curly brown hair, and his earring glowed every time he tilted his head. He was wearing a motorcycle suit, with a helmet in one hand, and a charming smile on his face.
William Woolf! He was Kylie’s new partner! Khloe clenched her fists with jealousy. Why did Kylie get to have all the handsome men?!
Cliff, who was standing beside Khloe, was also unhappy. Although Cliff had the title of “Best Actor,” the crew respected him more than they adored him. He had never witnessed such a situation, in which the crew screamed out their affection for a man.
“He’s so good-looking! I even heard that a foreign fan who loved him so badly spent every cent to come to America for him”
“Sleeping with William Woolf is my life goal, so don’t get in my way!” Lily’s eyes were green with envy. “This is impossible. How can this be real! Kylie isn’t qualified to be William’s partner!”
William was one of the main reasons that Lily had entered the entertainment industry, to begin with. She had become an actress to get closer to him.
But Lily had been having a hard time due to her common background. When she had given up the idea, she had found herself a sugar daddy, who was a rich businessman. In spite of her many efforts, William’s agents had never responded to her, afraid that she merely planned to ride on William’s coattails.
Amid the mess, Julian Johnson said to William with a grin: “William, given your charisma, how can you risk coming here by motorcycle, and alone? I must thank you on behalf of the mayor for not causing a heavy traffic jam.”
William weighed the helmet in his hand and smiled. “If it hadn’t been for you, I would not have come here.”
“Oh, where is Kylie Finch? She has been waiting at the gate for a long time. Where is she right now?” Julian asked.
At that moment, Lily stepped forward to introduce herself to him: “William, I’m Lily Lawrence. It’s so nice to meet you!”
William turned around slowly and put on his most alluring look. Lily was beyond thrilled! Her heartbeat sped up, and her face flushed. She would die for that man’s smile!
At a slow pace, William reached out his hand to her.
Jesus, the man was going to shake her hand!! Lily was so nervous that she wiped her hand on her acting clothes before reaching out her hand to William.
Right when their hands were about to touch, William’s hand passed by her side, to instead catch a woman who was standing beside Lily.
Kylie Finch! It was Kylie Finch again!
“You know Kylie Finch?” Julian was surprised. Everyone present focused their attention on William. William explained, with happiness in his eyes: “I have ridden on her.”
That explanation was ambiguous enough to let people think. Kylie was furious, and her cheek muscles tightened. Couldn’t he be clear?!
Seeing that Kylie was becoming annoyed, William further explained: “I was in a fantasy movie once, and she was my ride then.”
“Really? That movie was a great success. Why didn’t I see her?” Julian was taken aback. Kylie felt like she had survived, and her hands were slightly shaking.
She tried to explain with a smile: “I was wearing a mask the whole time. It was literally difficult to recognize me.”
Julian suddenly realized that Kylie had mentioned, in the opening ceremony, that all of her past roles hadn’t been human, but he hadn’t thought twice about it.
“Since you two know each other so well, then we can begin now without further delay.”
Kylie thought to herself: Director Johnson, let’s shoot the newly-added scene! I would definitely portray it well!
In the scene, the head of the gangsters, Sam, showed up at the right moment and brought Becky Ruiz, who was unconscious, back to his place. But when Becky woke up, she didn’t know what had happened and fought back fiercely, throwing a mess of horse shit in Sam’s face in public.
William knew what Kylie had in mind, from her satisfied eyes. He stood beside her and said in a low voice: “My lady, are you planning to act out the scene in which you humiliate me in public?!”
Kylie rolled her eyes. “Wait and see!”
“You love me as deeply as you hate me…” William smirked. “I am enjoying the process of taming you. Let’s go and see!”
“Great! I’ll torture you!” Kylie clenched her teeth.
This asshole had totally cornered her! The director had added to her part, which had already caused many actors in the crew to be jealous. Now, he was going to be her partner. Was he trying to get everyone to curse her behind her back?
And Kylie could feel the anger coming from Lily and Khloe without even turning around! The two actresses would tear her to pieces!
What’s worse, Cliff, who had been treated as the most important figure, was now irritated as well.
Jesus, she’ll go to hell for displeasing everyone!
But Julian didn’t follow Kylie’s wishes and chose a challenging scene instead. Because the scene needed to be shot on a horse, he let someone prepare a fake horse as a prop, given the conditions of the shooting area.
When Kylie had put on her makeup and walked out, even Lily, who didn’t get along with her, was stunned.
Was this Kylie Finch? She was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, and high-top boots under the riding breeches. Her hair, in big waves, was tied up elegantly. The clothing suited Kylie well, and she looked charmingly brave.
“Kylie Finch, immerse yourself in the role and don’t limit yourself before an actor who is more experienced than you.” Julian didn’t expect that Kylie could perfectly represent the image of Becky he had in mind.
Right at that moment, the door to the men’s makeup room was opened. William walked outside.
Chapter 72: Isn’t That Normal?
It was tranquil there. But after three seconds, there was a huge slapping sound that pierced many people’s eardrums.
William Woolf looked like a completely different person, now that he was dressed for his part. He wore a white jacket and held a whip. Even though he was just standing there casually, he nonetheless looked very domineering.
He seemed complacent when he noticed that Kylie Finch was looking at his changes with wonder. “What? Now you can’t recognize me in these clothes, girl?”
She looked humble and respectful, but she spoke in a whisper: “Don’t think I wouldn’t know it’s you after you take them off.”
“You…”
“What? Read the transcript carefully. Be careful ’cause I am going to slap you hard!”
“But I remember that you slap me when I kiss you…I am so looking forward to it…”
Bastard!
Lily Lawrence, from far away, looked at them and was so furious by how close they seemed, that she wanted to tear her costume apart.
William only seemed to care about Kylie Finch. When Lily had wanted to give him his costume, as an excuse to approach him, she had been stopped by William’s agent.
She hadn’t even had the chance to speak with him yet.
Khloe Finch walked towards Lily, using a fan to cool herself down. “Lily, don’t overthink it. What’s done is done. I guess Kylie Finch is just lucky this year after being down-trodden for so many years. After this drama is aired, she’ll win the Rookies’ annual award, I guess.”
“What? That award is mine! That bitch!”
She had torn her costume apart by herself, and her face twitched in anger.
“God, don’t freak out, Lily. Don’t forget how she got into this show in the first place. Don’t even think about confronting her. She may set you up and give you a difficult time.”
“She must be mad if she thinks that she can fight me. My Sugar Daddy will kill her!”
Lily got angrier while talking about it. She had worked with Kylie before, so she knew how good Kylie was. If she was presented with a good opportunity, Kylie would simply crush her.
Khloe had succeeded in provoking Lily. She sneered.
She could use Lily to take her first step, and then she would be able to set into play her huge plan to fight Kylie.
But she had to admit that since Kylie Finch had broken up with Aiden, Kylie had gotten much luckier. Khloe had to be careful.
“Miss Cotty, you ready?” Director Johnson asked the prop master.
“All set. What do you think?” The prop master pushed a large, wooden horse towards them.
“Great. You hold the blower in the front.” Director Johnson put the horse at the right place and called out: “Hey, William, your horse is ready.”
“Copy that.” William Woolf looked serious as he climbed onto the horse. “Come on.”
The prop master tied one of his hands to therein.
Becky Ruiz was tricked and tied up on the horse, but William easily solved the crisis. He kissed Kylie Finch.
“Oh My! Make out on a horse! Gosh, I want to be with William on that horse forever.”
“I think you just want to ride him. But, unlucky for you, that bitch has stolen that opportunity.”
“She doesn’t deserve it! Look at how ugly she is and how handsome my William is.”
“What a waste!”
The director coughed to remind everyone to be quiet. “Ready, action!”
Kylie Finch didn’t seem to hear what they were talking about. When the camera was facing her, her expression was completely changed.
Funny, energetic, and ambitious…this was how a young girl should be. She also looked a little cocky, giving the others a reason to dislike her.
She walked up to the horse and rolled up her sleeve.
Another camera was facing William Woolf.
He astride the horse, and his hands were tied up. The ropes looked too tight, but William appeared calm on-screen. He gave people a feeling that he could get angry at any point.
The horse stopped, and Sam, William’s character, raised his head to look at her mockingly.
Becky was holding the horse by the reins. She used the whip in her hand to slap its rear. “Don’t look at me like that. You are my prisoner now.”
Sam smiled but didn’t say anything.
Becky was still wearing an evil smile. “What? Don’t you like that? Maybe you should have a taste of what I have in store for you. It will be great.”
“Maybe you should be more careful while talking to me, little girl,” Sam angrily retorted, in a low voice.
Becky looked at him, then grabbed his hair and raised his head. “Who is little now? Uh?”
He turned himself around on the horse and raised his legs. Then he sat up straight and quickly got a hold of Becky’s hands.
With great strength, he pulled Becky up onto the horse until she was sitting in front of him.
“I guess I have lost track of how many women I’ve been with before. But I haven’t tried it on a horse. It should be fun.” He grabbed her hands and put them against her back.
“Sam, if you touch me even once, you are not a real man!” Becky said angrily, but with some embarrassment. She opened her eyes wide.
He got closer to her until his nose touched her forehead. In an effort to provoke her, he said: “Then I should show you how capable I am!” Then he started kissing her.
Sam turned his head. He didn’t just kiss her face but also her neck. It all happened so quickly…
“Cut!”
The director stopped them while everyone was swallowing deeply. Why had he made them stop? Everyone wanted to see whether Sam was a real man and how capable he was…
Kylie and William were perfect partners, and Director Johnson was so happy to see them perform so well.
The audience would look forward to the drama going on between them.
At first, many of the cast had wanted Kylie to get away from William. But while they were shooting that scene, they actually wanted William to do something to her. It’s like they were rooting for William to have intimacy with her!
However, now that they were having a rest, everyone resumed their cold judgment of Kylie; she could see the others rolling their eyes at her.
All the girls went to go check on William, to see if his wrist was really hurt or if he had cerebral hemorrhage because of the horse-riding.
Even Cliff Benjamin, who was always so calm and cold, couldn’t sit tight anymore.
He hated it when there were many girls asking him for autographs and photos. They were like ducks quacking next to him. But now they were all surrounding William, and he felt bored.
Apparently, among all the people there, Director Johnson was the most satisfied.
The next scenes between them were finished over the next few days, and everything went smoothly. They were a perfect couple.
When the shooting was over, Kylie removed her makeup, and couldn’t wait to leave. Then her phone rang.
To her surprise, it was Nate Bass.
Why was he calling her?
She held the phone to her ear and squatted in an empty corner. “Lord Nate?”
“Yeah…Kylie…” The guy on the other end sounded powerless like he was dying.
Kylie was shocked by his tone. “Are you alright, Lord Nate?”
“Of course, I am. Let me ask you: How did you make my friend ill?” Nate Bass suddenly raised his voice.
“He is ill? I think he was fine when I left.” Kylie was clueless.
“Fine? Do you think this is fine? He just came to the company and called on the representatives of all subsidiaries to have a meeting. And he was not smiling at all!”
“Not smiling…Isn’t that normal? If he was smiling, then he would be ill.”
Chapter 73: She Was Not The Big Boss
“But it’s completely different. Even without any air-conditioner on, it’s still so cold here. This must be about you! You should take full responsibility!” Then Nate shivered.
Kylie was speechless; she didn’t know why he would think she was responsible. She took a stick that she found on the ground, and started drawing circles. “Don’t try to blame me for this.”
She had only been at home for less than half of an hour before she had had to leave to play her scenes. She wouldn’t have had time to make him angry!
The only thing she could think of was in relation to that secret room. Was he mad at her because she didn’t go in?
It couldn’t be!
When she’d wanted to see what was inside, he hadn’t been happy. But then when she hadn’t wanted to see, he still hadn’t been happy…
But he never said anything.
“It’s all because of you! The big boss has let 30% of the Century Group staff go home. And now hundreds of families can’t pay their debts, and don’t have the money to raise their children…’
She was totally speechless.
How did it have anything to do with her? Should the whole world blame her for farting, because it may lead to the destruction of the earth?”
It was no use talking to her, even if Century Group went bankrupt!
She was not the big boss!
She wrote “WTF” ten times on the ground with her stick. Then a WhatsApp message came in.
They were two photos sent by Nate Bass. One showed a lot of people waiting in a line and taking off their working ID cards. The other photo was much more terrifying. It was just complete darkness.
After looking at that photo for a long time, she found that there was something in the darkness. There sat Ethan Parker, wearing a suit and tie.
His eyes were colder than all the glaciers in the South Pole combined.
She could even feel the iciness through the screen. She couldn’t stop her body from shaking.
No one could enter the big boss’s heart. But how was that relevant to her? Why had Nate called her?
Could she make a difference?
She wanted to hang up the phone, but she was still holding onto a little bit of hope in her heart…
WTF. She really thought that she could get special treatment from that man?
Suddenly another message was coming in from Nate Bass. This one was an audio file.
She opened it, her hands shaking.
“Nate Bass, if you can’t give me a proper business proposal in five minutes, I will send you to South Africa for fieldwork.”
She dropped her phone immediately.
It was Ethan Parker’s voice!
Even if she couldn’t actually see his face, she still knew how terrifying his face would have been judging from that voice. Not only did he sound cold, but his tone was extremely sharp.
It was hard to imagine that he could talk like that to a good friend. It sounded like he was fighting off an enemy.
She knew nothing about administrative paperwork. But apparently, judging from his voice, it must be very difficult for someone to come up with a proposal in five minutes.
What should she do?! He was really pissed.
Kylie tried to bring together all her wisdom:
Ignore him? Maybe Lord Nate would do better in Africa.
Threaten him? But apparently, he was more threatening than she was.
Get it done once and for all? But she couldn’t kill him…
The stick broke in her hands, and her eyes lit up. “Distract him!”
She touched her chest to calm herself down, then dialed his phone number.
***
At the Century Centre, everyone was so nervous in front of him. All the high-ranking leaders could only stare at the screen. He was having a video conference with the representatives of all thirty-two subsidiaries.
A sales manager had made a mistake with the sales data. And now he was waiting for the big boss to punish him.
But Ethan Parker’s face might as well have been covered in ink. No one could see his eyes.
The sales manager was getting more and more nervous, and his face was ashen. If the boss told him to piss off, he would have no choice other than jump off the top of the building.
When he thought his heart couldn’t bear it any longer, a phone started ringing in the conference room.
Everyone looked in one direction.
There were two phones next to Ethan Parker, and one of them was ringing.
The grey one was his private phone. He answered it without any trace of emotion.
“Hey, Ethan, what are you doing?” She knew the answer but asked him anyway.
“I am having a meeting.” His eyes didn’t change, and he sounded cold.
“Okay… Are there many people with you?” Kylie had to find something to continue the conversation.
He turned his head to look at his secretary and asked with a cold voice: “How many people are at the meeting?”
The secretary was surprised and looked at the data. “Including the ones on the line, there are one-hundred and thirty-three.”
“A hundred and thirty-three,” he repeated to the woman on the phone.
Wait a minute. Everyone was shocked. Who was the boss reporting to?
Nate Bass was delighted when he heard this. It’s like there were suddenly thousands of blooming flowers in the room, and the air was immensely different.
All these people couldn’t compare with his girl.
But Kylie, on the other end of the line, could still feel his coldness. She felt as though her hair was going numb.
“Uh…Do you have some free time now?” she asked carefully.
“No,” the man said, emotionlessly. It sounded like he was about to hang up the phone.
Nate Bass stood up nervously, but when he was about to say something, Ethan Parker looked at him angrily. He could do nothing but sit down and keep writing the proposal.
Can’t Kylie Finch solve this crisis?
The apocalypse was really coming!
Kylie really wanted to hang up the phone. Lord Nate, I can’t help you, she thought.
But she didn’t give up so easily. She hesitated for a moment, then said: “I just finished my work here. Can you go shopping with me?”
He held the phone closer and stood up. Then he walked towards the hall, with still no hint of emotion on his face.
All the people sitting there, including the others on the line, saw the big boss’s back and took a deep breath. But it was too early to tell what was going to happen.
In a minute, he was back.
He grabbed his other phone, which was still on the table, and said coldly: “The meeting is over.”
Chapter 74: She Still Had Hope
Finally, they had made it to the end.
After watching the president leave the room and not come back, everyone surrounded Lord Nate.
“Lord Nate, you must know who that was, right? Give us some information.”
“Lord Nate, who can order the big boss around like that? He must be someone.”
“Lord Nate, it’s a woman, right? Our boss is in a relationship?”
But Nate simply put away his unfinished proposal and looked at them all seriously.
“You want to know? I’ll tell whoever can come up with the best proposal!”
Kylie hung up the phone and posed in victory.
“You’re going shopping with Lord Ethan?” Someone jumped from a tree and landed in front of her.
“What are you doing here?” She rolled her eyes, then kept moving.
William Woolf was furious. He followed her. “Kylie Finch, do you really know what you are doing? Who do you think he is? You have the balls to have a fake marriage with him?”
She stopped and gripped his shoulder. “You should call me, Aunt.”
“Aunt my ass,” William said, messed up her hair. “Kylie, swear to God, you don’t like him, and you were forced to marry him, right?”
“Why do you think I was forced? Can’t it be that I forced him to marry me?” She fixed her hair, and lifted her chin in pride. “If God listened to all our promises, the world population would be reduced by two thirds.”
He took her hands. “But you promised me that when I’d get back, you would have an ultimate fight with me.”
“Of course.” She shook his hands away, and took out her phone. “You can pick a time.”
She didn’t know how he still had time to play games when he had to work so much every day.
But he was obsessed with games. Besides hosting game shows, and being an avid player himself, he taught others, on a site called Twitch, how to play.
***
Ethan Parker was sitting on the sofa when Kylie came back to Toprak Mansion.
His legs were crossed, and he was reading through his files, as usual. He still looked unhappy.
When Kylie arrived, he looked up at her. “What do you want to buy?”
She took off the shoes, and jumped onto the sofa, landing by his side.
“I don’t want to buy anything. I want to buy something for you.”
“For me?” His eyes seemed a little warmer, but he was still uncertain. “I don’t need that.”
“But your clothes are all black and white. I want to choose something of a different color for you.” Kylie took his files and set them on the coffee table.
He was silent for a moment. His eyes were dark. “I don’t like other colors.”
Kylie tried to calm herself down, then forced herself to smile. “But I like them. Don’t you think you should dress up for me sometimes? Love can change people.”
He didn’t refuse her. When he stood up, he heard her say: “We can buy something for Pupu as well.”
The expression on his face was that of surprise and anger. Apparently, he had misunderstood her, so she had to explain herself: “Of course, you are way more important than Pupu.”
He looked a little happier as they walked towards the gate.
She seemed so inexplicably happy in the car that Ethan Parker asked her: “What makes you so happy?”
Kylie nodded and said: “Of course, you’re always the one who bought clothes for me, but it’s different now that we’re going shopping together.”
Lord Ethan looked at her softly; there was a glimmer of light coming from his eyes.
“After we’re done shopping, I want to get some snacks. Can we?” She crossed her legs, and her eyes were shining.
When she had been with Aiden, they had never had the opportunity to go shopping or have snacks together.
It was such a shame.
At first, she had only asked Ethan Parker out in order to help Nate Bass, but she had actually wanted to do all this with him.
He was silent, but she could tell that he liked it.
It took them about an hour to drive from Toprak Mansion to the city center.
Elliot dropped them off in front of the shopping mall and parked the car in the parking lot.
Ethan Parker attracted so many desperate women. They all stared at his perfect face with obvious interest and lust.
Whenever he would notice that a woman was watching him, Ethan would glare at her coldly.
But none of the women seemed to be afraid of him. They couldn’t help themselves from looking back a few times.
Kylie followed him closely. She knew that he was always the center of attention, so she had become used to this.
She took out her sunglasses. Then she pushed her hat down to cover her face.
“It’s so crowded today.”
He looked emotionless. “It’s too noisy.”
“Don’t mind any of them. They will be gone in a few minutes.” She smiled and dragged him down the passageway.
She often looked through the clothes in his many wardrobes. But she never saw any logos on the lapels.
She chose one of the most expensive shops and led him inside.
She let go of his hand as soon as they entered so that she could freely start looking at the clothes.
But when the saleswomen saw Ethan Parker standing all alone, they all immediately wanted to serve him. In the end, the manager took control of the situation and served him by herself.
Kylie saw all the saleswomen fighting each other for him, and she shook her head. “Sorry, we don’t need any help right now. I’ll tell you if we need anything,”
The manager walked towards her, and said, in seeming embarrassment: “I am sorry, Miss. The company may send supervisors in to check on us. If they see that we’re not serving all the customers, then our monthly bonus is gone.”
After hearing what she said, the young girls nodded aggressively.
They all worked hard, so she didn’t want to embarrass them. She turned her head and saw Ethan standing next to the door with a cold face.
She hesitated, then said: “How about this. Only the manager can stay with us. My husband doesn’t like being surrounded by so many people.”
After hearing the word “husband,” the saleswomen looked disappointed. They hadn’t expected this perfect man to be married. But the manager was not surprised, and she continued to smile.
Married people could get divorced… She still had hope.
Chapter 75: Your Husband Looks So Powerful
After hearing Kylie call him “husband,” Ethan Parker was much happier.
He walked towards Kylie and put his arm around her shoulders. She hugged him in return.
She said, in a low voice: “Ethan Parker, it’s such a shame that you’re not in the entertainment industry. When we go out next time, you should wear a mask so you don’t risk exposing me.”
He smiled but didn’t say anything.
Kylie looked at a lot of clothes and asked him to try some of them on.
He frowned. “Actually, I have all the clothes I need.”
“Really?”
He didn’t hesitate at all. “Yeah.”
“Fine…” She looked disappointed. “That’s such a shame. I actually wanted to get some his-and-hers clothes with you.”
He was surprised to hear that.
He looked at the clothes she held in her hands and asked with suspicion: “You want to wear suits?”
She laughed. “Uncle, you are much out of fashion.”
After having grown softer and softer for a time, his face was once again hard. “You think I am too old for you?”
She blinked in surprise and tried to comfort him. “Nonsense. That’s a way of expressing my love for you. Many women in TV dramas call their lovers’ Uncle.'”
“Then you should call me…Ethan.”
She didn’t know how to respond to that.
Instead, she handed him an item of clothing. “Try this. I think it will fit you.”
But he just looked at it, without thinking further about trying it on.
“Sir, your wife has great taste. This item just arrived, and was made by a famous Italian designer. It’s a limited edition, and would make you look even more prestigious.”
“Limited edition?” That didn’t seem to impress him.
The manager nodded quickly. “Yeah, there are only ten of these in the country, and only in three sizes.”
“No.” He was cold and tossed the clothing item back at her.
The manager was surprised. Why had he suddenly become so angry?
She looked at Kylie for help, but Kylie was just as surprised as she was. Kylie looked into his eyes in an effort to make him happy again.
“Why? I think this color is perfect for you,” she said.
Ethan stared at Kylie for a moment, then nodded in agreement. The manager smiled. “I can get it for you this in a Large right now.”
“Wait.” Kylie stopped her before she could leave.
“He looks thin but has wide shoulders. I think he needs an Extra Large,” she said, with great confidence.
The manager looked at Ethan Parker, but she didn’t look convinced that he could be that muscular.
She must have sold thousands or tens of thousands of clothes before. She could immediately tell which size a customer needed.
He was about 190 cm tall, and his legs were especially long. But even though he was very muscular, there’s no way that he could wear something in an Extra Large size.
But she couldn’t say no to a customer, so she just followed Kylie’s wish. It would be more embarrassing for her when she discovered her error.
He didn’t say anything. He just looked at Kylie and thought about something else.
The manager returned as quickly as she could, carrying the really big shirt.
Kylie nodded with satisfaction and handed it over to Ethan Parker. “Put it on.”
The manager said to Kylie, once he was in the dressing room: “Mrs., your husband is so handsome.”
Kylie just smiled and didn’t say anything in response. She couldn’t argue with that.
Then the door to the changing room opened, and Ethan walked out, without a trace of emotion.
Kylie laughed out loud after having glanced at him once.
Ethan Parker was always cold and mysterious in front of everyone, but with this royal-blue shirt, he was completely changed.
He was fucking gorgeous.
He looked like a blue enchantress.
He smiled and waved. “You look terrific in this shirt, but it doesn’t suit you. If you walk around outside with it, you’ll cause a stampede.”
He frowned and looked at her coldly. Then he went back into the dressing room.
The manager was impressed, and she couldn’t seem to close her mouth. When he was gone, she said to Kylie: “He can really pull off an Extra Large.”
Even though the shirt had been a little too big for him, they could still see his muscle through the shirt.
Kylie nodded. “Yeah, he has a lot of muscles, but all clothes look good on him.”
The manager knew she was right. She should have known that a wife’s opinion is always the most accurate.
Although she desperately wanted to sell that expensive shirt, she couldn’t be too pushy. After thinking about it for a while, she said: “Your husband looks so powerful. Do you want to try the grey one? I think it would suit him better.”
“No,” Kylie refused immediately. “We don’t want black, white, or grey.”
The manager hadn’t had the opportunity to get closer to him, or to sell him her expensive clothes. She was very disappointed.
Ethan walked out of the dressing room and handed the shirt to the manager. When he was about to leave, Kylie said: “I will take this.”
The saleswomen were shocked.
“You can wear it just for me.” She smiled and took a card out of her purse.
He held her wrists and was about to hand over his own card. “Use mine.”
“Hey!” Kylie looked at him. “I said I was going to buy some clothes for you. Of course, use my card.”
Ethan Parker didn’t force her. Instead, he took his card back. But when she saw the price tag, she almost choked.
WTF…There are so many zeros…maybe four or five…
She had expected the shirt to be a little expensive. But come on, a thousand dollars?! Seriously?
Was it made of silk?
She rubbed her eyes in surprise.
He placed a black card in front of her. “This is yours now,” he said.
“What…I…I can’t take this…” At first, she refused to take the card. But after a moment’s thought, then she raised her head and asked him: “What’s the password?”
“Your birthday.”
“My birthday?” She almost choked again. “How do you know about my birthday?”
