Chapter 14: What Did You Think I Was Going To Do?
...
On a lounge chair at the balcony, a masculine figure was lying lazily on it, holding a book in his hand.
The setting sun cascaded on Olivier's side profile, giving his handsome features a warm look. It made
one stare at him unconsciously, and that was exactly what Gwenda did.
...
It got to the point where Gwenda did not even notice when Olivier got up and came to her after he
noticed her.
"You're awake."
A low voice sounded.
Gwenda stared at him dazedly. Her brain was still trying to reboot itself.
"Your hair's all messed up."
Olivier's large hand ruffled her unkempt, lovely hair. His low voice carried a hint of indulgence as he
asked, "Are you hungry?"
The warm touch woke Gwenda up in a flash. She quickly turned around and said in a panic, "I— I just
need a drink."
Then, she dashed into the kitchen.
Olivier did not expect her reaction to be so. He chuckled before following her.
When Gwenda entered the kitchen, she gulped down two large glasses of cold water before finally
calming herself down.
But her face was still red.
She put down the glass and turned around, bumping straight into Olivier's broad chest.
Her heart began to pound again.
Taking a step back, she leaned against the counter. Looking up, she saw that Olivier was staring at her.
"What... what are you doing..."
Gwenda was so nervous that she could barely speak.
Olivier suddenly reached out, and she quickly shut her eyes in fear.
Chuckling, Olivier went around her and opened the refrigerator. "The housekeeper made some food in
the afternoon. I'll warm it up for you."
"Oh, is that so..."
Seeing that his target was not her, Gwenda let out a sigh of relief, though she was a tad disappointed.
Catching the subtle change of expression on her face, Olivier teased, "Or what? What did you think I
was going to do?"
"N— nothing."
Red-faced, Gwenda took the food from him and said, "I'll heat it up myself, you can wait outside."
"Alright."
This time, Olivier listened to her and left. Looking at the now-spacious kitchen, Gwenda touched her
burning cheeks and heaved a sigh of relief.
During dinner, the two of them sat at the dining table.
...
Gwenda, however, was unable to concentrate on her food. She kept sneaking looks at the man sitting
in front of her.
Her mind was in a mess.
"Was he really going to just live here from now on?
Then, doesn't that mean that we would have to spend time with each other like this every day?"
Gwenda thought as she bit her lip.
This was, after all, the first time she had ever lived with a man that she barely knew for 24 hours under
the same roof.
This feeling...
It was an indescribable wonder.
"Am I that good-looking?"
When Gwenda looked at him for the nth time, Olivier finally locked eyes with her, a charming smile on
his face.
Gwenda quickly looked away and explained awkwardly, "I... I'm looking at the clock behind you."
"Oh, then what time is it now?"
The smile remained on Olivier's face.
"Eight o'clock..."
Gwenda started to reply as her eyes drifted towards the clock.
It was not eight o'clock but seven instead!
Olivier could not help but chuckle.
Gwenda felt her face burn immediately.
"This... this infuriating man!" Gwenda thought, flustered.
She decided to ignore him instead. After finishing dinner, she went straight back to her room and began
making plans to head-hunt for people that she could use.
...
Looking at the list of artists under KG Entertainment's website, Gwenda suddenly saw a familiar name Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
— Cecilia Kelly.
She remembered that in her previous life, Cecilia signed a 10-year contract with the company but had a
tepid career.
But after terminating the contract with KG Entertainment, she suddenly rose to stardom on short video
platforms because of her heavenly voice.
She became a top-tier singer after gaining a huge number of fans online, becoming one of the most
coveted artists of all time.
...
Right now, this undiscovered talent was shrouded under the dust. If she struck first...
Gwenda's mind was racing ahead as she began to look up everything the internet had to give her
about Cecilia Kelly. Just as she was reading diligently, a loud noise came from the next room.
Shocked, Gwenda was brought back to reality, and she rushed out in a hurry.
