Colin was pissed off but amused. He started tickling me. “You naughty girl! I’d like to give myself to her, but I’m afraid you’ll cry and break up with me.”
“Tsk. Who would cry? You are overthinking it.”
We were having fun when Professor King called us, ruining the lovely atmosphere. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
I wondered if he was an expert on love distractions.
I calmed myself down after laughing so hard from being tickled and picked up the call.
Professor King’s excited voice came over. “Luna, Dreamlight’s sample room design has come out. The publicity effect is perfect. The pre-sale is particularly popular.
“Several prospective homebuyers have expressed interest in the stunning murals. That’s only a sample image. When the house is officially completed, the overall effect will probably be better.” “Really? Then my work these days has not been in vain.” That was indeed good news.
“That’s right. You have to hold on and not give up on the rest. Dreamlight’s advertising team is particularly good. As a project painter, you’re likely to gain popularity in this circle.
“You did a good job. Remember to remain modest and prudent and avoid being arrogant.”
“I got it, Professor King. I’ll remember your reminders.” I became serious.
“Okay, moving on. You have to complete the rest of the work while maintaining the quality and quantity. I’ll consider taking you on a trip after it’s over. It’s better to explore outside than to just read books. Understand?”
“Thank you, I understand.”
“Oh, by the way, Xavier’s birthday is next month. He requested me to invite you over. He’ll notify you of the details once everything has been set up. You’d better get ready to avoid any time conflicts.” At the end of the call, I felt both happy and frustrated.
I was thrilled that the people recognized my abilities. I was finally able to carve out a path to success with my abilities.
What I worried about was Xavier’s birthday. We met only once. I wondered why he invited me.
It was Professor King’s son’s birthday. Logically, I should have attended it. However, when I remembered how he stared at me last time, I felt uncomfortable and didn’t want to attend. However, Professor King had invited me. If I didn’t go, it would be impolite.
Not many socialites would have the opportunity to attend that kind of event. I should appreciate it. Xavier might have considered this aspect and asked Professor King to notify me personally. That guy was quite scheming.
Forget it. I didn’t want to think of it any further. I would go with Colin then. Regardless of what Xavier was capable of, he wouldn’t do anything to me in front of Colin.
I lay in bed, listening to the gurgling sound of water in the bathroom. I recalled Colin’s beautiful muscles and the eagerness in his eyes as he returned my gaze in front of the bathroom door. I had a feeling that tonight wouldn’t be tranquil and something would happen.
He soon came out in a bath towel and stood at the door with a meaningful smile. When he stared at me with dazzling starry eyes, my heart raced.
His eyes were so enthusiastic that before my body went weak, I leaped up and took the towel to wipe his hair.
