Her car never got out of control, even when her temper often ran against her will.


    The shoot went smoothly and ended within half a day. Ste invited Scarlett and all the staff to the Intercontinental Hotel for dinner. Everyone was so happy, and the whole team was full of joy.


    Ste had always been very generous. Since the Intercontinental Hotel is one of the most high-end hotels in Irving and its buffet is famous and popr among the rich, Scarlett couldn’t wait to enjoy a feast. She had rejected Ste’s money, but she wouldn’t reject this amazing banquet.


    Indeed, as expected, when everybody was drinking and ying games, Scarlett was the only one who buried herself in the delicate food. She was unfamiliar with the staff members and had no interest in their office gossip.


    “Thank you for your wonderful performance, Scarlett!” Ste came over and sat next to Scarlett with a ss of wine in her hand.


    Scarlett immediately put down the fork and held up her wine ss, “Thank you for inviting me! It was great fun!”


    Ste looked at her and smiled, and the two clinked their sses together and drank happily.


    “Andrew called me just now, and he said the video turned out terrific! You know, I rarely hear him say that he is actually pleased with a model’s performance!” Ste said excitedly.


    “The sess is all thanks to you, Ste, because…you have a great eye and chose me for the assignment!”


    “Oh, don’t be glib! You did well, youngdy.” Ste reached out her hand and pinched Scarlett’s cheek softly, “By the way, Andrew suggested that youe by my office again and be the cover girl for our anniversary special edition. What do you think?”


    “The cover? Oh gosh… I don’t know… I don’t want to tank the sales of your magazine!”


    Ste frowned slightly and said, “Oh, please. Scarlett, you’re a wonderful model. Don’t sell yourself short.”


    Scarlett shook her head and said, “I seriously don’t want to live under the spotlight… But I’ll do the cover. For you. Thanks for believing in me, Ste! I really appreciate it.”


    Scarlett and Ste looked at each other and knocked back their sses of wine.


    The air in the private room was so hot that Scarlett’s face was steaming. It was probably because the wine Ste ordered was so good that Scarlett had drunk way too much of it. She ran to the bathroom for a quick break.


    As Scarlett walked out of the bathroom, a hand suddenly stretched out from the corner of the corridor beside her and pulled her aside. Scarlett fell into the man’s chest and felt his warm lipsnd on her cheek. The man’s big hand sped Scarlett’s waist tightly, and he began to kiss her passionately.


    “Ah… you hurt me!” Scarlett swatted his hand away, teasing.


    Francis had probably drunk a lot of wine, but he was not drunk or anything like that. He held Scarlett in his arms. After Scarlettined that she was hurt, he loosened his grip on Scarlett’s waist, but his lips did not stop.


    Scarlett felt that it was better to take the initiative than to be kissed forcefully. She could not get away anyway. Moreover, Francis was a skillful kisser and she actually kind of enjoyed it.


    So, Scarlett raised her hands and hooked them around Francis’s neck, and the two were intertwined with each other.


    The people passing by in the corridor, either by ident or on purpose, stared at the two people who kissed passionately. Francis lifted Scarlett up about three inches from the ground, and he himself turned his back to the people and hid Scarlett in his embrace.


    This posture was too ufortable for Scarlett. She was pressed on a cold wall, but in front of her was Francis’s hot body. She was in a half-suspended state, and she could only hold Francis more tightly to avoid falling down.


    Francis kissed her hungrily. Scarlett’s cheeks were getting redder, and she felt she was out of breath.


    “Take a breath, little fool!” Francis stuck closely to her body, and his lips fell on her shoulders. Scarlett’s brain was starved of oxygen, and her eyes were full of stars.


    Francis smiled, and his chest vibrates gently. He put Scarlett back to the ground with his arms around her waist.


    “So does this mean I’ve paid you back then?” Scarlett thought what happened just now was Francis taking revenge, since thest time they had kissed, it was Scarlett who had taken the initiative to do so.


    Francis reached out his hands to touch her red cheek and put his lips again on it.


    “You wish,” his baritone voice was deep and sexy. He sounded melodic like a cello. “It’s just monthly interest.”


    Scarlett felt her legs go soft, and she almost slipped to the ground.


    Francis let go of her. He seemed to be in a good mood and said, “Wait for me in the parking lot after your little dinner!” He then turned around and walked away in big steps and left Scarlett standing there alone, clueless and out of strength.


    Scarlett took out a smallpact mirror from her handbag and looked at the girl in the mirror. She arranged her messy hair and took it back to the private room.


    Everyone in the room enjoyed drinking and ying games. Andrew seemed to have finished his video editing and had joined the party. He was whispering something to Ste.


    Good, nobody noticed her and sensed anything unusual. Scarlett quickly slipped into her seat and took a sip of soup to calm herself down.


    At about nine o’clock, the party was over. Ste said to Scarlett, “My driver came to pick me up. Are you going back to school? Take my car!”


    Scarlett immediately waved her hand and said, “My friend is shopping at the nearby mall. I will wait for her and then go back to schoolter!”


    “Well, take care! See you!” Ste said as she waved goodbye to Scarlett.Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
