Chapter 88 - Endorsement Deal

Iris sighed and caressed his face, pulling his head down to gently kiss his lips. "Alright. Just don't do it again. Does it still hurt?"
"Yeah."
She touched his crotch and massaged him gently.
He groaned.
She bit her lip. It seemed that it hurt quite a lot, since she didn't feel him harden even when she was already touching him. "I'm sorry I kneed you. But you really deserved it..."
He grunted and then sighed, taking her hand off his poor little brother. "I don't want us to fight anymore, especially since I'm leaving soon."
Hearing his words reminded her that they wouldn't be able to see each other for days. She felt her chest tighten. She immediately wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him.
He embraced her as well. "Are we okay now?"
"Mmn...yes."
He released a breath of relief. "Good. But I hope that you remember what I said today.""Okay. But please don't do that again. I hate it."
"Alright, baby. I'm sorry. I just want you so much. Make sure to always answer my calls and reply to my messages, okay?"
"Okay." She gave him a peck on the lips. "You have to take care of yourself while you're there. Don't tire yourself too much."
"Alright. You too. Miss me while I'm gone. Think of me every day. Dream of me every night. Because I will miss you, think of you, and dream of you every single day that we're not together."
Her heart thumped at his words. How could he say such things so easily and so seriously? It sounded kind of stupid but a delicious warmth spread within her upon hearing his words.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body against him. Pulling him down, she whispered to his ear, "Okay. I'll be waiting for you to come back home."
"I want to hear you call me darling."
"Darling."
Her hot breath on his ear finally gave him a hard-on. Thank goodness! His little brother was still functioning properly. Unfortunately, they didn't have time. He had to go.
His hands snaked down to her plump bottom and squeezed, feeling pleased when he heard her moan."I have to go. Bye, baby."
"Bye, Liwei...darling. Come back home safely."
He gave her a final deep, searing kiss before reluctantly releasing her and stepping inside the private elevator. His eyes were hot and intense as he looked at her before the elevator door closed.
Iris was already missing his kisses. Biting her lips, she righted her disheveled kimono robe. She stared at the closed elevator doors for a couple more minutes before coming to terms that he would really be gone for a full workday week.
Was this how having a boyfriend felt like? It seemed like she was discovering a new side of herself that she wasn't aware of before.
If she wasn't so attracted to Jin Liwei, she was certain that she would never want to become involved with someone like him. His personality completely clashed with her life goals.
However, oddly enough, she accepted him even when she felt bothered and a little scared at how fast their relationship was progressing. Perhaps she was feeling too attracted to him at the moment that she subconsciously didn't want anything to dampen the euphoria of being in a relationship for the first time.
Sighing, she turned around and headed to the cat room.
The kittens were asleep. She rubbed them softly with a finger, comforted by their fluffiness and warmth. Carefully, she scooped them up with her hands and brought them to her bedroom.
She placed them on her bed and enclosed them with pillows, so they wouldn't accidentally fall off the bed. Then she laid down beside them.It was still very early in the morning, only a few minutes after 5 AM.
Although her quarrel with Jin Liwei was brief, it was very intense. She was now very awake with highly stimulated emotions.
Fortunately, the soft but deep breathing of both kittens plus the sound of falling water from the wall-mounted waterfall fountain were both relaxing and comforting. After a few minutes, she drifted back to sleep.

That morning, the Alarm Girls (Wanwan, Feifei and Mimi) with their manager woke up early to get ready for a contract signing to seal an endorsement deal with a local nail polish company. It would be their biggest endorsement deal yet.
The company couldn't compare to the big, high-end and signature brands but it enjoyed a considerable amount of popularity among the tween demographic. This was because the company mostly used up-and-coming celebrities like girl groups to endorse its nail polish products.
More than half of the endorsers this company used eventually became quite popular, so the company had a bit of a reputation within the industry of helping newbies on their road to success.
Although the Alarm Girls couldn't be described as "up-and-coming" anymore, their climb to popularity throughout the years was slow but sure. They weren't the most talented nor the most eye-catching but their years in the industry gained them a decent number of fans.
Their manager worked very hard to obtain the trio this endorsement deal. He almost sold his soul in order to get the necessary connections. When he was finally able to meet with the right people, his excessive brown-nosing was cringe-worthy.
There were many times that he was chased out and doors slammed on his face, but he was persistent. If he could get this endorsement deal for the girls, he would get a share as their manager.This thought alone motivated him. He would do anything just to get this endorsement deal, even if he had to lick shoes.
In the end, he was doing this for himself. The Alarm Girls were just stepping stones for him on his road of becoming a manager with a stable position in the industry.
Finally, his persistence paid off and the Alarm Girls were scheduled to sign a contract that morning. The contract was only for a tentative period of one year, but the money and benefits involved were the best the trio would receive so far.
The nail polish company promised that the contract might be extended and the benefits increased based on the trio's effectiveness and performance in endorsing.
As for the trio, they thought that this endorsement deal was a long time coming. Their hard work was finally starting to pay off. This endorsement deal couldn't compare to the big stars, but it was certainly better than what newbies would usually receive.
Wanwan, Feifei and Mimi dressed to impress. They felt like bigshots as they sauntered inside the company building. Business hours just started and employees streamed in to start another work week.
The group headed to the reception desk.
"Hello. Good morning," their manager greeted the pretty receptionist. "The ladies beside me are the girl group called Alarm Girls. And I'm their manager. We have an appointment with Mr. Chen at 8:30 AM."
