âOh? What do you want, then? He he! I can give you whatever you want!â
As he spoke, he edged closer to her; his eyes emitted aggression like a beast eyeing its prey. âYou want to be the lead actress for âLethal Beautyâ, right? I can give that role to you; what do you think? You should know that it has been given to Lin Zhi internally! You saw how hard she fought for this role, but as long as you serve me well, I can get you this role with a word. How about that?â
With her breathing becoming more and more rapid, she could not help but retreat from him until her back was almost plastered against the car door.
âPerhaps, one role isnât enough for you? What do you want? You can speak now. Diamond? Bungalow? Or... an expensive car? Itâs not that I canât afford it, but you must perform well for me first!â
Saying that, he reached out his hand to touch her cheek.
She swept away his hand roughly and yelled, âScram! Donât touch me! Even if I want that role, I can fight for it with my ability!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHa ha ha!â He burst into hideous laughter as if he had heard a terrible joke.
âAbility?! Did you just say that youâll fight for this role with your ability? You are too naïve! Be good and I wonât harm you! On the contrary, I can give you plenty of love.â He inched closer and smiled lewdly at her. âWhat do you think? Come and be my lover! I can give you whatever you want â money, status, and even power! I can give you whatever you want!â
âScram! Get lost!â She flailed her hands in the air. âI donât want any of those things! Scram! Let me get out of the car!â
âWhat? These arenât enough for you?â He snorted. His face sank as the smile on his face diminished in an instant. âLet me advise you: Donât be too greedy! I donât have much patience for women!â
His words were just too glaring for her ears. Without thinking, she looked up abruptly and slapped him fiercely across his face.
He was struck dumb by her unexpected action. He glared unbelievably at this woman as he held his face; it did not occur to him that she could be so gutsy!
The woman somehow realized the gravity of her impulsive act, too, as she withdrew her hand with a start. She held her burning palm while clenching her lip flaps.
The scene outside the car window continued to speed past them.
After a long pause, the manâs face finally showed an expression. He regained his composure and broke out into mad laughter. âHow dare you hit me?!â
She looked up and uttered, âDonât you think you have made a mistake here? I was under the impression that you wanted to discuss about the movie deal, so I wasnât really expecting this from the start! If this is all, then thereâs nothing to talk between us! My job is done here. Iâll be honored if you want to send me back, but if you are unwilling, you can let me get out by the road! As for your offer of diamond and bungalow in exchange for being your lover... He he! Do you think I need those from you? Mu Yazhe can give me whatever I like. I donât need you!â
Although she was unwilling, she knew that she had to use his name in this dire moment for self-preservation!
His brows furrowed deeply. âMu Yazhe? Are you referring to that young chap from Disheng Financial Group?â
She smiled and answered, âIs there another Mu Yazhe in the capital?
