Ellie was so infuriated that her teeth was chattering with fury… She took a good look at Kayden, and
she felt her heart crunching into a pulp.
Would he give Saniyah Steele his attention? Or would he reject her just like how he had rejected Ellie?
Very slowly, she saw Saniyah pouted her lips, making herself looked like she was about to kiss him.
“That damn fucking bitch!” Ellie was so agitated that rude and vile words flew out of her mouth without
warning! That woman was too shameless as she was seducing Kayden in public! Damn it, did Saniyah
think that she was invisible?
However, despair dawned on her because Kayden didn’t seem to have any intention to reject her.
Instead, he answered Saniyah’s kiss with an enjoyable expression.
Ellie’s heart was scrunched into a million pieces as if it was a dumpling at that moment.
She felt herself becoming cold, and then a sense of being fooled by someone rose in her heart.
“That damn Kayden, fucking Kayden, I don’t mind that he has ignored me, but he is now courting that
bitch who is a free lunch for everyone. His eyes must be blind!” Ellie felt like vomiting blood, and she
had to suppress herself in order not to rush in and give the two of them some hard slaps.
“I won’t talk to you anymore!” She snorted loudly!
Nico felt helpless when faced with this situation. He thought that Kayden was so obvious with his
intentions to the point that he could even get the hint, yet Ellie seemed to be oblivious to anything. It
was right when they said that a woman who was fuming couldn’t think straight.
Kayden was obviously trying to rile her up. He was purposely kissing with Saniyah for that sole
purpose!
Nico shook his head and thought that he shouldn’t interfere. He didn’t want to have anything to do with
this. It was better to let them fight it out by themselves.
As for Saniyah, she wasn’t actually that smug and elated as seen in Ellie’s eyes.
Kayden’s expression was ever stony and mechanical. Even though her pinkish lips was inviting him to
have a rendezvous, his brows didn’t even move and he didn’t even flinch.
With how cold he was looking, Saniyah couldn’t keep this farce going anymore. She had to force
herself to discard her dignity and press her lips onto his as she pleaded, “This is enough.”
Kayden pushed her away lightly, but his attitude was as firm as it gets.
A slight sighing came out of his thin lips, “You’re as hot as fire, Ms. Steele, however, you have gone
over the line… Be careful not to meddle in something you have no control over.”
Saniyah was stunned a little, and she only understood what he meant afterwards. Fear rose in her
heart as she thought fearfully: Did this many want to kill her?
However, he didn’t show any objection when she initiated the kiss. If he didn’t want this to go on, there
was no way she would be able to force this on him.
Suddenly, Kayden revealed a faint smile. It was the kind of smile which was overly friendly and
infatuated, as if… the smile belonging to a boyfriend caring for his girlfriend.
Saniyah sensed that something was off, and her eyes darted in Ellie’s direction cautiously, and sure
enough, she was glaring at them without concealing her intentions.
She finally understood everything at this moment. He had used her to put on a show for Ellie.
Saniyah thought: This was great. You guys were great. The woman had taken her place in theatrics,
and the man had used her to put on an act. You guys must have never thought highly of me, ever.
Saniyah always hated herself for turning into someone else’s plaything, and now that she was fooled
by Kayden completely, she had to get her revenge no matter what the cost was. However, she couldn’t
put up a fight against Kayden, so she had to vent all of her anger onto Ellie!
This damned bitch, just you wait. I will make sure you suffer all the embarrassment that I had suffered
all over again!
Kayden stared at Saniyah and said in a gentle voice, “Ms. Steele, I have watched your movies. Your
acting is not too bad. Recently, I have invested in a movie, and there is a role that is made just for you.
Would you be interested?”
Saniyah froze and thought frantically: What the hell is this now? This man’s mood had changed
completely in just the blink of an eye!
Could it be another trap lying in wait for her?
Saniyah asked after much hesitation, “Can I know who the director is?”
“Stephen King.” Kayden smoked his cigarette for once before answering lazily.
“Oh?” Saniyah gasped, “Are you talking about that director who has just won an Oscar, that great
Stephen King?”
Kayden frowned and replied, “I think so.” He never paid a lot of attention about stuff like that, but he did
hear that this director was a big shot.
Saniyah was in a mess now. Oh my god! It was that international director who was famous everywhere.
How many people wanted to act in his movies from all over the world? How many people would feel so
proud for appearing in his movies? Even if one didn’t have a line in it.
Numerous actors who had won Actor of the Year would cut their earnings just to be part of his movies.
This was because his movies were all big productions, and with the popularity of those movies, the
movie stars would gain new height of fame. As long as one could appear in his movie, one could finally
step into the realm where first-rate stars belonged. “I am interested, of course I am. Thank you for
introducing this opportunity to me, Mr. Kayden. I won’t let you down.” She completely forgot that she
was upset just a moment ago as she clung onto Kayden intimately and her conviction to win over
Kayden deepened too.
Kayden blew out a whiff of smoke and his other hand latched itself onto Saniyah’s back. He simply
patted it lightly.
However… Saniyah felt that her whole body was screaming in pain!
This man had enormous strength. Her bones were going to shatter into pieces!
Kayden closed in on her with a smile. He patted her shoulders and whispered, “Then I will be looking
forward to your performance in that new movie, Ms. Steele!”
Saniyah felt that her shoulders had been rammed over by a truck as she bit her lips and forced an
unnatural smile on her face. She nodded. She was sure that this man was doing this on purpose, just
because she was too close to him!
This couple’s intimate exchange elicited some astonishments among the crowd.
They never thought that Saniyah who was always alluring and attractive belonged to someone. She
was even with a man who seemed to be very dominant.
The sexy star, Saniyah, was in a heated romance with a mysterious investor, and they were flashing
their love on the premier screening day. This news alone overwhelmed Ellie and Nico’s gravity and
successfully became the headline the next day. This news continued to permeate in the next few days.
…
Ellie was grabbing a newspaper, and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. Although she couldn’t
read Italian, but she would never miss that couple even if they were to turn into ashes. Although
Saniyah’s face was the only one exposed in the news, she was certain that there was nobody else
beside her except Kayden.
Could what the newspapers were reporting be the truth? Was Kayden really dating Saniyah?
“Kayden, you damned playboy, and you’re acting like a mysterious wealthy person too. Damn you!”
Ellie tore the newspaper into pieces as she cursed vehemently.
She didn’t feel relieved at all after tearing the newspapers, and she even stomped the pieces for some
time before finally feeling much better.
At that moment, the phone rang, and it was from her agency. Ellie’s expression immediately changed
as she adjusted her tone into one of gentleness, “Hello, it’s you, Jessie?”
…
“Ellie, there is a reason I am calling you. I have something to tell you…”
“Yes, just say it…”
“It is about the endorsement deal with SL…”
“Yes, yes, did you receive the contract? I can sign it anytime…” Ellie said with a sultry voice. SL was
the local Italian high fashion brand, and they had found her after seeing her in the photos of the party.
They hoped that she could be their brand ambassador, and her annual endorsement fee would amount
to 2 million Euros!
If this 2 million Euros was changed into US Dollars, it would be 2355330 Dollars. Of course, Ellie would
accept this without any hesitation. Just after promising the brand to be their ambassador, Jessie had
come calling today. It must be because the contract had arrived, and she was being informed to sign
the contract.
“It’s about the contract, and they told me that they had called off the agreement…”
“What? They’re not signing me anymore? Why?” Ellie screamed at the top of her lungs. Everything was
fine just yesterday, so why did everything change in one night?
“They told me that they’ve found a more suitable candidate. That’s why our agreement is ending here.”
“How did it turn out like this… Who is that? That new girl that they’ve found…” Ellie was still struck with
disbelief. She continued to probe relentlessly.
“It’s someone you know. It’s Saniyah.”
“What? Why is it her? How can it be her?” Ellie was completely shocked that even her voice had
escalated.
“We don’t know too. But Ellie, did you leak the information about the endorsement to some other party?
Maybe that’s why someone has overtaken you.”
“No way. I have told no one about this.” Ellie couldn’t figure out what was going one. A fine
endorsement deal that she was about to sign had just gone to Saniyah without her knowledge.
“Alright, alright, don’t think about it anymore. We will have more chances for endorsements in the
figure, and what’s more, it’s their loss that they didn’t sign you. But you better make sure that you never
tell anyone about any endorsement deals from now on, especially before you even sign the contract.”
“Got it. Thank you Jessie.” Ellie hung up the phone dejectedly.
At this rate, she had lost all of her mood. Her almost-assured 2 million and more had just flown away to
Saniyah’s pockets.
“Ah!” Ellie was so frustrated that she threw her phone and smashed it angrily. She continued to curse
Saniyah in her heart, and she imagined herself punching Saniyah left and right. She was exploding in
her room.
Nico opened the door and came in only to see this tragic sight. He couldn’t help but be concerned,
“Darling, what’s wrong? Someone stepping on your tails?”
Ellie’s voice was shrilling, and she had turned into a mad woman, “My tail is indeed getting stepped on.
Did you know that my SL endorsement has been snatched away? It’s that Saniyah! I can’t figure out
what vile method she has employed to get her hands on this! She’s really a bitch!”
Nico was obviously startled as he asked, “SL was planning to sign you?”
“I just received their phone call yesterday, and I had my hopes up thinking it will go through without a
hitch. Little did I know that Jessie would tell me about this chance getting snatched away by Saniyah.”
“I am actually coming back here to inform you that I have just received a call from SL too. They plan to
make me their ambassador for their men’s wear.” Nico sounded a little hesitant. He was originally going
to share this good news, but from the looks of things now, he was only going to rub more salt onto
Ellie’s wounds.
“What? You’re scouted by SL too? Then, why did they suddenly cancel me without a reason? We
should be playing the role of a couple, or else how would this whole thing help them?” Ellie was getting
more and more confused as she thought about the fact that Nico and Saniyah both were getting
endorsed, and they just happened to be part of the same movie too. However, only the female
protagonist was left out of this, which made her feel upset.
Nico nodded and thought that something was strange. However, seeing that she was so upset, he
couldn’t help but console her, “They must have their own reasons, and if you think about it, it may not
be something totally bad. If you are the brand ambassador of SL, you won’t be able to endorse other
similar brands anymore. Perhaps a bigger company is eyeing you as we speak.”
Ellie didn’t feel consoled, and the forlorn expression was even more intense on her face. Nico pinched
her face and said, “That’s enough, stop feeling sad… It really might turn out to be a blessing in
disguise. You need to think positive, and perhaps you will be getting calls from Chanel soon.”
Ellie rolled her eyes at him and dismissed the thought of such a far-fetched scenario. A megabrand like
Chanel wouldn’t have come knocking at a third-rate star’s door in the end.
Nico smiled, “Really, just let it go. Didn’t you people always say to think positive rather than being
negative?”
Ellie chuckled upon hearing that, “Where did you hear that from? I can’t even remember the source.”
Then, she burst out into laughter.
Nico laughed too, and at this moment something vibrated in his pocket. He fished his phone out and
saw that it was Yahk who was calling him.
