3 Chapter 3: They Don’t Want To See You (2/2)

”Sir, did you bring me here to show off in front of your ex?” She had performed well at the audition, so she was happy. ”Then you've come to the right person. I have a lot of experience dealing with those bitches.”

There was a giant, heart-shaped cake at the party, so she reckoned someone would be proposing tonight.

”Ex, indeed.” The man nodded.

He was so tall that when he spoke, his low, deep voice was way over her head. ”I'm looking forward to your performance.”

Kylie smiled with suspicion.

She looked at him: he stood straight. How could men like him ever be dumped? He must have been the one to take the initiative to leave.

Perhaps thinking the same thing, many of the guests who walked by, looked his way with admiration. But apparently, they had no interest in looking at Kylie the same way.

She smiled and didn't really care. She circled his waist with her arm, and whispered in a deep voice: ”If I help you out today, does that mean I don't have to pay for your car?”

He lowered his head and looked at her large breasts and white skin.

On their way to the banquet, he had brought her out for a formal dress, and a haircut. Now, unlike when he had first seen her, she looked like a lady.

This woman was so flexible.

”Of course.” His mouth moved into a slight smile, and he added in a low voice: ”But don't forget about our deal.”

Deal? Did he mean those absurd requirements?

Kylie jokingly responded: ”Sir, you're too old to be a virgin. You can forget about our deal.”

His eyebrows twitched, and he looked at her with dark eyes. He sounded cold. ”How do you know that I'm not a virgin? We should try it once before you make that assessment.”

Kylie instinctively wanted to refuse him, but she noticed a beautiful girl wearing a white princess dress.

When that girl had first arrived, many guests had greeted her, so Kylie assumed she must be the star of that evening.

So she tightened her hold of the man's waist and turned her back to the pretty girl. ”She's coming. Get close to me,” Kylie whispered to her companion.

He glanced at the girl, then lowered his eyes. He kissed Kylie on the forehead.

She knew that he was just pretending, but when she felt his warm breath, her heart began to quicken its pace.

She shifted her eyes in an attempt to distract herself. Then she suddenly noticed her father and stepmother in the crowd.

They were both dressed up and smilingly greeting guests.

After her mother had died, her father, Laurence Finch, had married Alice Davis. Kylie's relationship with them wasn't great. They would never have taken her to a banquet, so she didn't want to confront them there.

She wanted nothing more than to hide from them.

She snuggled against him, like a cat against his chest.

He was surprised by this, but his lip twitched into a smile.

Meanwhile, Kylie sensed the beautiful girl stop beside them. She stared at Kylie, and the man hugged her more tightly. The girl stormed away.

Was this a victory for Kylie?

When Laurence Finch and Alice Davis went off in another direction, Kylie emerged from his arms and started to breathe freely again.

But before she could feel too much relief, she heard a very familiar voice.
