Chapter 676 - Six Hundred And Seventy-Six: The Intimacy Between Them (2/2)

”Sure!” Neon answered and as soon as the man focused on his camera in his grasp, turned to Ailee - Kristen as well.

”What do you think you're doing?” he asked her, unable to understand her intentions for lying about her identity.

”Why did you lie?” Kristen queried.

”I just want to use a substitute identity, what's wrong with that?” Ailee shrugged.

She had watched everything that transpired the instant Neon arrived, everyone became friendly to him while they ignored her. It was good this way because she could figure out people's intention towards Neon - people tend to look down on a commoner. Moreover, it was fun, having a secret identity.

For once Ailee was grateful for the fact that she hardly frequented her mother's company ever since she became an adult that way she wouldn't fear anyone recognizing her except on social media.

Although their mother had done her best to keep her family from public scrutiny, it was still not easy for a family like theirs. Once in a while, the reporters always found something to have a field day with - not that it bothered them anyway. Their family was built on love and trust, hence nothing could bring them down. But on the bright side, Ailee would have to put more effort into making sure her identity wasn't uncovered. Good thing, Neon and she looked nothing like siblings - they wouldn't be able to connect the dots that easily as long as Neon kept his mouth shut.

”I don't like the idea of that,” Kristen said, ”Some of the people here are not that nice and would try to bully you, at least your status would protect you,”

”I would take that as an experience then, it would work well on my portfolio in the future, don't you think so?” Ailee was not bothered.

”Ailee -” Neon tried to change her mind.

”Why would anyone bully me when you are with me?” she smiled at him and the boy sighed. She was one stubborn girl but he loved her that way.

”Also,” Ailee turned to Kristen, ”It's better to be commanded around than having an enemy as a friend because of my great status,” she added, ”Just explain that to mom, I'm sure she would understand,”

”Fine, do whatever you want,” Neon said, pulling Ailee into his arms to hug her.

”Hey, what are you doing? People are going to see and have the wrong impression of us,” She struggled to get out of his arm but he didn't budge a muscle.

”Let them see then,” He buried her face into her neck, ”Didn't you say you needed protection from me, this is the best form of making a statement, 'do not touch what's mine' ” He chuckled.

Kristen who stood at the side was stunned by the intimacy between the siblings. Wasn't it a little too much? She thought. But then who was she to get involved in another person's family affairs? Especially her boss? It was simply none of her business.

Unfortunately, just as Ailee feared, seated at the corner of the studio was a young model who had her eyes on the young man, Neon as soon as he came in. She had heard that he was their boss, Reina's favorite son, and decided at that moment that he was the one for her. With her fame and his status, they would make a great couple, not to mention that it would boost her already booming career.

However, her face distorted as soon as she saw him pull that strange girl into his arms and she felt threatened immediately. So she gestured to her assistant to come over and as soon as she did, asked, ”Who is she?”
