Chapter 162


    She had seen it all before, and she had no choice but to acknowledge the truth.


    After all, just that face alone could attract thousands of followers; even thepany’s CEO had fallen


    for her, not to mention Benjamin.


    April tried to subtly convey her thoughts, but they were bluntly exposed by her friend, leaving her


    speechless.


    But she didn’t believe it was the Movie King who initiated things. Having been in the entertainment


    industry for years, he had seen all types of women. Could he really fall for Xanthea just because she


    was beautiful? Surely, Xanthea must have used some tricks to seduce him!


    “Enough!” Isabe said; she was clearly annoyed as she ended the call. “I asked you to keep an eye on


    Xanthea to see if she’s cking or acting like a diva and to gather dirt on her, not to report on how


    popr she is with the boys!”


    April looked over, only to see Benjamin opening a gift box; his eyes revealed a captivating smile, one


    she hadn’t seen even through a screen, and it made her eyes burn with jealousy


    They hadn’t even started working together, and things were already heating up. At this rate, their,


    rtionship would surely progress quickly!


    With so many celebrities and big names admiring the Movie King, who usually ignored them, why


    should Xanthea, a mere neer, get him?


    If their rtionship were exposed now, wouldn’t millions of fans andizens tear Xanthea apart?


    Perhaps, this could nip the budding threat in the cradle.


    Thinking of this, she took out her camera and captured a moment of them exchanging meaningful


    nces.


    “Scene thred, take one–mall shootout, action!”


    The pperboard sounded, and Xanthea, dressed in a sleek and ck outfit, descended smoothly


    from * the top of the building, like a ray of dawn slicing through the long night.


    Gangsters, who were filled the various floors of the mall, fired at her as soon as they spotted her. Amid


    the hail of bullets and the smoke of gunfire, she moved like a graceful butterfly, dodging and weaving


    as she pulled out a shbang and a row of chillingly sharp silver needles from her utility belt.


    With a fierce burst of white light that temporarily blinded and deafened everyone, Phoenix took the


    opportunity to scatter the silver needles.


    Her movements were agile and precise, and her fallen cap revealed a cascade of beautiful hair and an


    astonishingly gorgeous face.

    The camera loomed in for a close–up of her eyes–mischievous yet seductive, an intricate mix of


    emotions; yet upon closer inspection, they were utterly devoid of warmth.


    She released thest two needles, knocking down her adversaries.


    “Cut”


    Kevin’s voice rang out, and everyone on set came back to reality; they were all amazed and

    Xanthea was both stunning and fierce!


    Her perfect proportions, her breathtaking beauty visible from every angle, and her sharp movements


    combined with that yful yet seductive gaze, were a visual and emotional spectacle that captivated


    everyone present.


    “Fantastic, just fantastic!”


    Kevin excitedly stood up from behind the camera to apud her. “Xan, I thought your first action scene


    might be challenging, but you nailed it in one take, wlessly. Absolutely incredible!”


    “Thank you for thepliment, Director!”


    Kanthea unhooked her harness, transitioning from the fierce and enigmatic Phoenix back to her lively


    and sunny self; such transformation caused Benjamin, who was still lost in the scene, to momentarily


    daze before he too broke into a smile; his eyes were brimming with deep affection as he watched her.
