Colton pushed Freyja‘s hand away, tossed his coat aside, and walked toward the bathroom.
Freyja sat stiffly on the bed, pursed her lips, listened to the sound of running water coming from inside
the bathroom, and could not help but tighten her grip on the blanket.
‘Sure enough, his hatred for me hasn‘t changed at all. Then what did he mean when he gave me the
necklace and kissed me three years ago?‘
As Colton walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, water vapor encircled him, and the water droplets
that had not been wiped rolled down his beating neck.
He dried his hair with a towel and turned to look at Freyja.
Freyja leaned against the head of the bed with her legs bent and an aggrieved expression as if she had
been wronged.
‘Does she feel wronged?
‘Pfft, she‘s just pretending when I‘m around.’ He placed the towel on the countertop, walked over, and
stood beside the bed. “Aren‘t you going to take a shower?”
She returned to her senses and did not look at him. “No.”
“Disgusting much?”
“If you think I‘m disgusting then — ” Before she could finish the sentence , she felt her whole body
leaving the ground as Colton had picked her up and was carrying her into the bathroom.
Freyja struggled to break free. “I told you that I don‘t want to bathe! Let me down!”.
She was dropped into a tub full of warm water, and the water drenched her bathrobe.
Under the light of the blazing LED lights, the puddles on the tiled floor rippled as the reflection of the
person soaking in the bathtub swayed. The rosy lips and pale face formed an extremely vivid scene,
and the atmosphere was seductive, fueling him.
His eyes dimmed as he leaned down, clasped the back of her head with his palm, and kissed her
without any warning
She breathed with difficulty. “We should talk.”
Colton turned her over and kissed her shoulder. “What do you want to talk about?”
Freyja grabbed the edge of the bathtub tightly. “I won‘t hold you accountable for what happened, and
we don‘t owe each other anything after tonight. Can you agree to this?”
He paused for a few seconds, grabbed her by her jawline, and turned her face around. “Do you think
I‘ve come to you in order to allow you to hold me accountable?”
She bit her lip. “Then what do you plan to do to me?”
He gnashed his teeth, scoffed, pressed his lips against the side of her neck, and stirred the water. “I
won‘t hold myself accountable for what happened. On the contrary, I‘m only toying with you. Freyja
Pruitt, you won‘t be able to go anywhere until I get tired of you.”
The next day, in the studio... Daisie had been waiting for Freyja‘s call since she sat through her
makeup in the morning, and she could not help but feel a little worried. After all, she was not from
Bassburgh, so what if she encountered a bad person?
James appeared outside the dressing room and leaned against the door. “You women can really take
forever to put on your makeup, huh?” Daisie put her cell phone down and looked at him through the
mirror. “Have you memorized the lines?”
She had to work with James in the same crew this time that was what Charlie wanted.
In the past three years, James had participated in more
variety shows than filming and had completely become a well–known artist in the variety show aspect.
That was because Charlie had found out that James‘ acting skills were bad, but when he was allowed
to display his skills on variety shows freely, he actually managed to steal the limelight.
In fact, James was not useless. At least he had always been a master of all kinds of games. Even if it
were an innovative game that the production team came up with, he would get the hang of it after one
to two rounds. With that game sense in his pocket, he never held his teammates back but would
become the mastermind of his team most of the time.
And after so long, he finally obtained the opportunity to be part of a film production. Charlie was worried
that James would not perform well, so he hoped Daisie would guide James along his way.
James was the second male lead in the crew, playing the son of a nobleman in Yennesse.
It was not difficult to play a character that shared the same personality as himself in real life. All he
needed to do was to be himself. But the difference in characteristics would be huge in the later stage of
the script because it was set in the script that the character’s family would be ruined in the later stage.
The people who supported him before that would then turn against him and ridicule him.
James would have to transition from an arrogant son of a rich family to a desolate orphan of an
aristocrat , which was why Charlie was afraid James might not be able to perform well.
