For some reason, the way Ricky was looking at Kate made her feel a bit awkward. She could only lower her head while quietly sipping her tea. This meek and shy demeanor caught the man's attention, and Ricky considerately brought her a piece of fondant cake.
"Thank you, Mr. Mccray."
"I thought girls were afraid of gaining weight and wouldn't eat sweets!"
As he sipped his coffee, his eyes filled with a pensive gaze as he looked at Kate's round and adorable face, his gaze obscure and unfathomable.
Being in the entertainment industry, he had seen all kinds of beauties. However, the combination of purity and a hint of cuteness in Kate intrigued him.
"Sweets can make one's mood better."
Her innocent and candid reply made him smile, and he casually said, "I heard that Miss Zamora has recently encountered some troubles, and I would be happy to be of service." "However, as a businessman, it's only fair that there should be no loss on my part. I think as an exchange, Miss Zamora should also give me something in return, don't you think?" Clang!
The moment his words fell, the utensils in Kate's hand unexpectedly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. Her face turned red, biting her lip, her gaze appearing both confused and clear as she softly answered, "But I don't know what I can do for Mr. Mccray?"
"It's simple, accompany me to attend a dinner party. What do you think?"
Mr. Mccray's gaze burned as he looked at Kate, clearly implying a hidden meaning.
Kate was momentarily unsure of what to do. If it was just attending a dinner party... that was considered normal interaction in the entertainment industry. However, when she thought of Master Glenn, she became hesitant.
Before she could respond, Finley seemed to not expect such an easy opportunity and readily agreed, saying, "Sure!"
"Great!"
Martha paused and looked at Kate, whispering in her ear, "Kate, you know. Finley and I are planning to get married. If we don't resolve this situation, we could both lose our jobs." "And, in the future, Master Glenn is going to marry Miss Walsh. You and him aren't officially boyfriend and girlfriend. You need to learn to find a backup for yourself, you know?"
"Do you think female celebrities in the entertainment industry are as foolish as you, sticking to one man? Maybe Master Glenn has more than just one lover."
Feeling disappointed, Kate turned her head. She thought Martha would put herself in her position, but it seemed Martha's boyfriend was still the most important thing in her world. "No, Master Glenn said he only has me."
Listening to her stubbornly speaking up for Master Glenn, Martha gritted her teeth with a mixture of frustration and resentment. "If that were true, he wouldn't ignore you when something this big happens. Kate, give up, he simply doesn't care about you!"
"Alright, stop talking. I agree to go to the party."
Her words pierced Kate's heart like a needle, causing her to bleed with pain.
However, she couldn't let Master Glenn know about all of this.
6 PM in the evening.
Because she had promised Ricky to attend tonight's ball, Kate, for the first time, wore a sexy off-the-shoulder gown chosen by Ricky. She had her long hair up, with a string of pearls hanging in it. Her fair skin, toned muscles, and tall figure, combined with her doll-like face, attracted many admiring glances upon her entrance.
Ricky, on the other hand, was dressed in a deep blue suit with a crisp white shirt. His eyes widened in admiration as he looked at Kate, "Truly, you're more beautiful than any other woman present. Miss Zamora, you outshine everyone tonight. I really like your current look."
"Mr. Mccray, you're joking. I
promised to dance one dance with you, and then I have to go home. I still have work to do today. By the way, this is for you, 60, 000 dollars is
what owe you from our last coffee,
Wase take it," Kate said as she
handed him the check.
Ricky picked up the check, but with a hint of annoyance, he tore it up, scattering bits of paper everywhere, "I said it was a gift to you, so it's a gift."
Feeling a headache coming on, Kate decided to treat it as a transaction, hoping to finish the dance quickly so she could change and leave.
At the ball, her appearance indeed raised suspicions among many.
Some said she was Ricky's lover, an illicit mistress.
Many men also cast hot glances at her.
Kate knew she was beautiful, inheriting her parents' perfect genes, but this trouble meant she had to keep an extremely low profile.
"Kate, about the last time, I'm sorry, please forgive me," Martha, wearing a blue low-cut outfit with sexy wavy hair, said as she handed Kate a glass of red wine.
"I don't blame you," Kate replied as she took the glass and clinked it with Martha's.
"Then let's have a drink, consider it my way of making amends."
As she drank the red wine, Kate was surprised to find that her tolerance was lower than she thought. Just a small sip made her feel hot and dizzy.
"Kate, how did you get drunk with
didy
just one sip? Martha exclaimed,
helping her to the upstairs guest
room. As they reached the staircase, they encountered Ricky, and she began to understand what was happening.
Pretending not to know, she asked, "Mr. Mccray, what are you doing here?"
"It seems like Mr. Russell was looking for you just now, Miss Martha," he pointed downstairs, then gently took Kate from her, his lips upturned in an elegant arc. "Allow me to take her home."
"In that case, I'll trouble Mr. Mccray," Martha said, not wanting to miss her chance for a promotion, and quickly turned away.
'Kate, I'm sorry. I'm doing this for
your own good. If you can cozy up to
the boss, you'll have a lot more
resources in the future; Master Glenn has given up on you, so you have to find a new supporter.'
After Martha left, Mr. Mccray looked down at the woman in his arms, who was already completely drunk. He took a big step with his long legs and carried her towards the room upstairs.
The pure white bedsheet couldn't compare to her silky and tender skin. Ricky stroked her red lips, and the soft touch made his heart flutter.
His gaze then dropped to the blue dress that wrapped around her curves and delicate collarbones.
Impatiently, he unbuttoned his own coat and leaned down to kiss her smooth forehead.
Kate felt a burning sensation all over her body, and in her dazed state, she sensed someone beside her. Anxious, she squirmed, and a faint voice of refusal escaped her red lips. "No... don't."
"It's very comfortable, Miss Zamora. I assure you, you'll like it," he said.
He removed the obstructive long dress from her body, revealing the woman's pristine and graceful figure, as if crafted by a god.
He had been with so many women, but for the first time, he understood what true beauty was.
Just as he grasped her curves and was about to take the next step, he suddenly felt a chilling presence behind him. In the darkness, a pair of crimson eyes made his scalp tingle. The next moment, everything went black, and the icy sensation on his arm sent shivers of shock and terror through his bones.
"What a foolish woman."
