Edie was really tired. Asher’s heart lightened, she again drifted into a deep sleep. Discovering that she had fallen asleep in his arms, Stuart’s mouth curved into a smile then gently adjusted Edie’s sleeping posture to make her comfortable.
A kiss fell on her forehead like a feather. "Good night, babe." From now on, he will protect her.
When Edie woke up, she was the only one in the room. She opened her eyes dazedly and thought last night was a dream, but when she completely sobered up, she recalled that everything actually happened.
Even the blanket on her body seed to have a comforting scent. She didn’t expect to be seduced by a gay man. Fortunately, Stuart doesn’t like a woman, or it would be difficult for Edie to control herself, and she would be able to keep herself from falling for him.
In a dark heart, she took out her phone and ssaged Aaron, "You gay’s know how to hit on won so well!" She then got up to change. After she finished changing, Aaron replied to her ssage, "Of course, there are a lot of tis when we are more sensitive than won. Haven’t you heard of the saying? Every woman needs a gay friend."
Edie laughed at the ssage, "that’s ridiculous. If you’re this good at hitting on won, what if the woman falls for you?"
"Sis, I’ll be honest with you, that’s what troubled for years. Stuart was badgered by those won too. That’s the reason why his personality beca more and more indifferent."
Seeing the ssage, Edie’sstopped texting for a mont, so they think of it as trouble? Aaron sent another ssage, "Stuart hates dealing with won, please be careful when you’re with him. Please don’t make him think that you have a thing for him, or he will start avoiding you for sure."
"Okay, I get it."Edie typed in slow motion and thought, of course, Stuart’s actions had no special anings. It might be that all gays are bad at asuring their distances with won. Suddenly, soone knocked on the door; it was Carol," Mrs. Yates, your breakfast is ready."
"Okay, I’m coming," Edie answered. She pulled herself together and went downstairs to the dining room. Stuart was reading the financial newspaper as she sat down. He asked casually, "How was your sleep last night?"
"It was good."
"I made Carol prepare you two aromatherapy machines, and it helps you sleep. One is already in your room, take the other one with you." After hearing of this general arrangent, Edie nearly choked on her milk. "Why did you prepare this?"
"You always have nightmares, if you can’t sleep well, how are you going to work the next day." Edie was not convinced, "I sleep pretty well." Stuart was flipping through the newspaper and said, "Who was it that hugged and kept calling mom yesterday?"
This ti, Edielegitimately choked. She widened her clear watery eyes and asked, "You’re lying, aren’t you?" Stuart lifted up the newspaper and covered his mouth as it curved into a smile.
Seeing Stuart in silence, Edie started to doubt the validity of his words. However, since Stuart always possessed an aura of oppression and didn’t seem like the kind that would make jokes, everyone took his words as command out of the subconscious.
Edie ate two pieces of toast absent-mindedly, and suddenly her phone rang. It was the producer from yesterday. "Hello?"
"Hello? Hi Miss Lara, there’s a small problem," The producer’s voice sounded very guilty. "What’s wrong?" asked Edie.
"Since you were in such a hurry yesterday, I forgot to inform you. We have a news conference this afternoon at two, in the hall of the Victoria Hotel."
"What?!" The toast in Edie’s hand fell onto the ground.
"Actors have to arrive before one o’clock..."
"What!" Edie stood up right away, and she didn’t even care about how Stuart looked at her, "I haven’t even booked a stylist! I don’t even have a dress! Makeup and hair take at least three hours to do, I won’t be able to make it."
The producer was very apologetic, "It was our fault, Miss Lara, we are so sorry." Edie got a headache, but there was no use in blaming the producer whatsoever, she had no choice, but to comfort him first, "Don’t panic, I’m going to the dressing room now, I’ll be there as soon as possible."
After hanging up, Stuart asked, "What happened?" Edie briefly told Stuart what the producer had just said, and with an anxious face she started to leave, "I have to go, I wonder what the traffic is like right now. There are definitely no nice dresses in the dressing room since this is such a short notice. It’s so annoying!I’m going to ss up my first news conference,"
"So, you need to do a full makeover in three hours?"
"Yes, aargh, this is so annoying."
Stuart, who was sitting opposite her, stood upright after hearing her words and said, "Let’s go."
Edie startled, "Are you taking there? No, thank you; you’re too busy with your business matters...."It was as if Stuart hadn’t heard her refusal, he ca up to Edie, grabbed her wrist, and walked her outside. "I’m here; there’s no need to worry."
His voice was cold as usual, but to Edie, it possessed so kind of power that relaxed her tensed heart. Her anxiety disappeared at once. The stretched Lincoln Limousine was waiting outside, as usual, when Edie finally managed to react, she was already in the limo.
There were two rows of seats in the limo that was opposite to each other, the secretary and Mr. Batessat opposite to Edie. She looked at them with a confused face.
The secretary who had never seen Edie before was shocked, doubting himself as if he was in a dream. A woman, in the morning, was holding hands with the CEO, in the car!
He had never seen a woman within one ter of the CEO ever since he has worked for him, and it’s been nearly five years! The secretary’s heart was being shattered by all the commotion. Mr. Bates pulled himself together and said, "This is Mrs.Yates. She is the CEO’s wife?"
The CEO got married? When? Why is it that he told anything about it? Is he going to be fired? If it were not his professional dedication, which he developed over the years with Stuart, he would have jumped through the roof.
Stuart saw through the secretary’s mind with just one glance, and the secretary had goosebumps all over and imdiately sat upright to restore his professional manner. "Goodmorning, Mrs. Yates."
"Um, good morning." Edie was a little awkward since she knew they were in a fake marriage. Accepting this title made her feel kind of guilty. "UniverseEntertainnt," Stuart ordered the driver in a cold voice.
"Universe Entertainnt? Isn’t that the most prominent entertainnt corporation in the city? What are we going there for?" asked his secretary.
"The dressing room is not in that direction..." It was nearly nine o’clock, and she wouldn’t be able to make it to the news conference if they didn’t hurry.
