when Elsa arrived at the elevator, it was clear. everyone had already gone. she could see her image in the mirror. looking at her shoulders and neck, she noticed that they were covered with hickeys. she was agitated because if she were to be seen like this, it would definitely be written on the front page of the headlines.
that would definitely give her bad reputation. how outstanding is the reputation of a female actress? the market had abandoned many actresses because of the chaos of their private lives.the elevator had only reached the third floor. she made up mind to tear the long skirt off her knees and put it around her shoulders and neck as if it were a shawl. ding, the elevator was on the first floor.as she did not want to be recognized, she lowered her head to cover her face with her hair. she hurried out and did not notice the reporters gathered at the door of the hotel. when she came out, someone whispered to the person next to her, "is this Elsa? she wouldn't wear such a rag. "said one of the reporters."Elsa!" a sweet voice came from behind her. it was particularly loud in the quiet lobby. she turned around and saw a beautiful face. it was from Joanna bella. "it's really you!" she said with a sarcastic smile on her face."Joanna is here!" the reporters were all set up outside and begin to take pictures. "what's the matter with you?" Elsa said, rubbing her sore body. Joanna touched her curly hair and smile defiantly, "producer lance just expressed his appreciation for you last night, and you showed up in the hotel this morning. what happened last night?"of course, Joanna knew what had happened. she called the reporters this morning as a way to try and embarrass Elsa, Elsa chuckled, "you showed up at the hotel early this morning, didn't you have something to do with the producer?" Donald drank a lot of wine last night, and I took care of him all night, "Joanna said with a smile.I'm not like you. Donald and I are already engaged, and you? if I remember correctly, you've been claiming to be single, right?" hearing Donald lynch's name, Elsa froze for a moment, she adjusted her mood and reminded herself not to be influenced by Joanna's vicious words."it's none of your business. "Elsa turned around and was ready to go. of course, Joanna would not let her go. suddenly, she pulled the shawl off Elsa's neck. "oh, sorry, Elsa, my hand slipped. "Joanna pretended to cover her mouth, but her heart was already full of joy. some hickeys on the shoulders and neck were more evident in the bright light and everyone could see what they were.All the reporters were intrigued!" miss Elsa, did you stay with producer lance last night? did you know that lance already had a wife? have you been lying about being single?" she couldn't escape. she was surrounded.the light on the cameras flashed, Elsa was forced to step back, and had no idea what those reporters is were were saying. it was so noisy the her discomfort from last night made her vomit. there was only one thing in her subconscious. her life as an actress was over.without thinking, she forgot to cover her hickeys for a moment and stood in the hotel lobby to let the reporters take her photos. suddenly, a warm body pulled up behind her and put a cologne flavoured suit over her shoulder. "there is no producer lance. she was with me last night. "a cold voice sounded in her ear.Elsa did not react; she looked back without thinking but saw a some what familiar face. it was the man who she was with last night! "get your hands off my waist!" Elsa stated to tremble. why was she being treated like this? why did he join them?the man did not let her go; his arm clasped around her waist and led her into the hotel. as he walked, he said, "Mr Bates, deal with it. "Mr Bates nodded, then presented a black card to the noisy reporters. "I'm an interim spokesman for the Yates family, if you have any questions, just ask me. "when the reporters heard the name Yates, they were surprised and slowly put down their cameras and notes.the Yates were the most powerful and prominent family in the country. the family inherited the British title of nobility. it grasped the level of the domestic economy and had connections with various industries, especially in the economically developed city. they were like king in the city.the Yates family's control of the media was particularly tight, except for normal cooperate dynamic, and other reports would never came out unless they passed their close examination, especially when it comes to the family current heir's.once a newspaper sent a profile photo of Raymond Yates, then the family bought the whole newspaper office. they had been warned in the past that their careers would be jeopardy if they published any of the photos that were taken today. whatever the Yates family wanted, they get.Joanna who was standing by her side the whole time, was stunned. she clasped her bag in her hand, and she looked very annoyed. "how did this happen? I thought this was going to kick Elsa out of the entertainment circle for good? why would someone protect her? Joanna wondered.of course, she had heard of the Yates reputation, and even she wanted to be introduced to the director of their family, not even to mention their heir's, she thought she was entitled to see them all. how could Elsa have anything to do with a man like the? Joanna had no idea who he was, but she knew he was powerful.Joanna reluctantly took out her phone and dialed a number. as soon as the phone connected, Joanna asked in a low voice, "didn't you say everything's done? what's the matter with the Yates?"these seems to have been a little confusion, Joanna, and it has already been done. Last night, I was waiting for Elsa to get drunk, and then took her to room 3008, what was the Yates room number?" said the voice on the phone. "what? 3008!" Joanna said frantically. "it was 308!" she got Jamie slip a pill in Elsa's wine last night, and when she got drunk, he was supposed to send Elsa to producer lance's room!Jamie was startled. she was explaining, but Joanna could no longer listen. Elsa, that bitch hooked up with one of the Yates! "Joanna let's go. "a gentle male voice came from behind.Joanna was shocked; her fierce expression instantly vanished. she turned back and laughed, "Donald..." Donald hugged her. "here's the charger. it's under the bed, let's go" smiled and nodded. she immediately leaned into Donald's chest and walked out with him, her eyes covered with rage. "it's all right. she won't miss again next time.Raymond, that was the name of the man who Elsa spent the night with, hugged Elsa's waist as tight as he could. they could no longer see anyone outside. she breathed a sign of relief and fell weakly to his feet. Raymond quickly picked her up into his arm.Elsa could not forget, what had happened to her last night. "let me down! leave me alone! don't touch me! "these were her last words before she passed out.no one has ever told him to get out. Raymond gave a low smile and picked the woman in his arms. "that's impossible" he whispered in her ear.when Elsa woke up, she found herself in the room again, although it was the same decorations, it was a new room.thinking of Last night, she examined her body warily and found that the ripped dress had been changed, and she was wearing a elegant meter white dress. "don't worry, and the maid changed it for you."Elsa suddenly looked up from hearing a familiar voice. he was sitting on the sofa. the man sat lazily, his hands crossed behind his he
Elsa wanted to say something but had no confidence. such a handsome and wealthy man. he may be a prince charming to a lot of women, but he just wasn't her's. if she hadn't had Donald in her heart, she might have been moved by Raymond's offer.Elsa shook her head "no, this deal is ridiculous, as soon as she had finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and someone outside, "master, breakfast is ready." "come in. "Raymond stood up. "don't be so anxious to say no, just think about it."then, without Elsa's answer,he left the room. the maid pushed the dinner in, and when she got close, she found the dining cart was full of three different kinds of breakfast. there were Chinese, western and also japanese. "I didn't know what your personal preference was, so Mr Bates told us to prepare a little bit of everything," said the maid respectfully. "what would you like to eat first?" asked the maid.Elsa said uncomfortably, "western style." "okay"the maid answered and she took out a table
as they walked out of the hotel, a black Mercedes Maybach seden was waiting downstairs. Raymond opening the door for Elsa. she looked quite and calm, but infact, she was wondering how wealthy they were. Elsa thought how fortunate it was for him to have lots of money. after seeing the car and the servants waiting on her hand and foot, she thought he would have no issues in getting her necklace back. she felt less guilty.according to Elsa's instructions, the car pulled up to her apartment. I'll be out shortly, and I just need to get a few things," Elsa said and got out of the car. she dashed to the fifth floor.this was the apartment she shared with her friend Melissa latonia. although the building was old, it was in excellent condition. it was in the center of the city, so it was convenient for her to get back and forth from work.the door opened, and the room was quite. Melissa was not there, so she couldn't share the news about her getting married. she went back to her room and grabb
Elsa knew he was right, not realizing that her thoughts diverted her actually, the clerk, otherwise known as the justice of the peace, would not doubt the authenticity of the couple's willingness, they would presume the hesitation as nervousness."well, "Elsa gave in, feeling she was wrong in the first place and was not willing to argue with him her lovely angry face amused Raymond. "you can't do that next time. you know, you were taking advantage of me," Elsa warned him solemnly.looking at her delicate red lips when she spoke, he grinning eyes turned into profound affection. he didn't know why this girl could light the fire burning deep inside his body. his list for her was burning like a volcano ready to explodedhe held her hand and kept a certain distance between them, Incase he couldn't control himself and did something wrong again, that frightened her. after getting into the car, Elsa was absentminded, not noticing where they were going. until she saw that the view outside the c
carol opened the door, and coming inside was a professional middle-aged woman. she bowed to Elsa, who was sitting on the sofa. " good afternoon, Mrs Yates, I'm Vanessa, the service manager of galaxy and the gallery.she barely left Elsa time to think it over, signal the people outside to come in. then a row of hangers full of wind breakers popular this season was brought in. then a cart followed. this one was full of sweaters. one after another, shirts, coats, jackets until the entire living room was filled with clothes. Vanessa came to her with respect. "Mrs Yates, would you mind if I take your measurements?"what were they doing? is she shooting a film? as if in a dream, Elsa stood up and let the staff take her measurements. "um, are you measuring for me?" Elsa inquired, sounding confused. "yes, Mrs Yates." Vanessa let out a professional smile. Elsa was overwhelmed by mixed feelings: uncertainly, nervousness, shock and maybe a little bit of excitement.after taking the measurements,
Raymond asked the service manager to go get his suit jacket and then went out with the coat in his arm. he stopped at the door turned around to the men in suits. "it's was my wife. I will introduce you to her next time." Jason and Todd were startled. "when did he got married? I had no idea."Raymond returned to the villa to pick up Elsa. she found that he had changed his Maybach to a red Ferrari, which was perfect match for his suit. "what do you want for dinner?" asked Raymond "it doesn't matter and I am not hungry yet." infact, Elsa really was in no mood for food now. she felt that ever since that night, everything was moving in the wrong direction. it wasn't at all what she expected. she was having a hard time believing that she had a husband.Raymond didn't ask her where she wanted to go and eat. he took her directly to the best seafood restaurant. he ordered king crab, seafood, sashimi, and some soup without asking her what she wanted. Elsa was hungrier than she thought, because
Elsa was checking her make up in the lady's room. behind her came a familiar female voice full of hatred and sarcasm. "Elsa, well isn't it a small world." Elsa looked up and saw a pretty familiar face in the mirror. Elsa's face became cold and intense. she didn't expect to come across Joanna here can she not escape her?"Elsa, you really are a butterfly. I didn't expect that you would move on from Donald so quickly. you have been together for five years, but now you are playing with a new target, Raymond Yates. so, it was all an act when you begged me to leave Donald?"it was an insult for her to hear Joanna saying the name Donald. recalling what she had done to her, she couldn't restrain herself anymore. "shame on you, Joanna. we had indeed been together for five years, but God only knows what you have done to him. do you think that your relationship is real? you know, all the lies will be exposed one day. I have passed him onto you, you have picked up what I dumped. you are pathetic
it was from Raymond. only his voice was as cold as an ice berd. Elsa didn't know why such a cold voice could relieve her heart at such a awkward moment. they just met a few days ago. she didn't even know him very well.Donald looked up and saw a handsome face with Cold, withering eyes. it seemed like his words were orders, Donald loosened Elsa's wrist immediately. as soon as she got free, Elsa took a step back towards Raymond. seeing she was leaning in, Raymond asked sincerely with a touch of warmness in his eyes. "are you in trouble?" Elsa shook her head. she didn't want him to get involved in the chaos. after all, it had nothing to do with him. "no, it was just a misunderstanding. let's go."Donald recognized it was Raymond Yates. after all, his father was the boss of hawk real estate. actually, his father had tried hard to do business with the Yates on many occasions but had never succeeded. he was wondering how Elsa knew Raymond Yates? even so, he couldn't let go of Elsa without d
