BXBX NOVEL Chapter 151 - 151: Thank You Honey
"It's nothing," Judy comforted, "just a job! I'm cooking for you, you'll have a good lunch, and you'll forget all the unhappy things."
Looking at Judy's back to the kitchen, Savannah forced a smile.
For Judy, anything difficult could be solved by eating a meal. It seemed so simple.
But Savannah didn't quite operate the same way. Losing what she loved – in this case, the advertising job – made her lose her appetite, too.
She walked upstairs wearily, not forgetting the pill.
Her phone vibrated, and she picked it up, startled.
It was a text from Dylan.
"During the shooting for Fairy World, you must bring a bodyguard every day. Never have any contact with Kevin except for work. There must be a third person present when you talk to Kevin. If any of the above is violated, the endorsement shall be terminated at any time."
Savannah was stunned.
Was she allowed to endorse Fairy World?
Just a few hours ago, she wasn't sure if he wanted to kill her or fuck her into submission – how did he change his mind so quickly? She was sure she'd get whiplash from his unpredictable mood swings.
Every word on the message was just as bossy as it would be if he were speaking out loud to her, but she felt a warm, familiar feeling course through her chest, and she wondered why.
Taking a deep breath, she restrained herself from being moved. She was still angry with him for taking her to Kevin's company…how could she forgive him so quickly?
Besides, she had not forgotten the most important thing…
In the booth at the hotel that day, he said he believed Abby and thought she pushed Valerie downstairs. What's more, he was so cold to her in front of Abby – a rejection she couldn't handle.
For some time, she sat gazing stupidly at the phone. When she stood up and was about to take a bath, the phone vibrated again.
"Haven't you read my message?" Dylan's text message came again, with displeasure.
"Yes," Surprised, she replied.
"Then why didn't you respond? Have you forgotten basic etiquette?"
She looked helplessly at his childish, whiny text and replied, "Well, not yet."
"And now?" He seemed to forgive her for being slow to reply.
"Oh, I know," she replied.
After the text message, Savannah's cell phone rang. The man was calling!
"Three words?" Dylan was unsatisfied.
"What?"
"It doesn't seem like you're very interested in endorsing the game," he said, with a just perceptible chill in her voice.
To make her happy, he turned his back on his principles and allowed her to accept the job offered by Kevin. However, this little woman could not even bother to reply to a word! Now she sent him away with "I know"?
Savannah sighed, knowing what he wanted, of course.
"Thank you," She softened her tone.
"Oh, two words now."
Savannah was really speechless. Well, forget it. What if he was ruffled again and changed his mind?
"Thank you, Dylan."
That "Dylan" was so soft and sweet that it felt like a spring breeze sweeping over his heart.
He recalled the scene in JK's studio this morning. Desire combusted deep in his belly.
He was silent for a long time. Savannah had no idea what he was thinking. She could only hear his heavy breath over the phone.
"Isn't it enough?" She asked carefully.
Dylan turned his mind back. "I prefer you to call me honey."
His father and sister called him Dylan too. It's not an affectionate name.
Honey? Only his girlfriend could call him this…
Did Abby call him honey?
Thinking of this, she felt uncomfortable.
"What's up?" He asked when he got no reply.
She recovered, drove away from the thoughts in her mind, and whispered,
"Thank you, honey."
Savannah had a sweet voice as it was. Now she softened her tone in order to please Dylan, her whisper even more gentle, just to please him.
He had the urge to pick her up from the phone and rub her in his arms.
After he hung up, Savannah breathed a sigh of relief.
She really wanted to ask him if he still thought she pushed Valerie down the stairs, or if he believed Abby, but she couldn't bring herself to ask this question.
She was too afraid of the answer.
It was the first time Savannah would endorse a game. The shooting would all be done in the studio, and there was an editing process on the computer.
This time, it was not a regular advertisement shoot, but an ad for the game she liked. She was more attentive and serious in the shoot, working harder than she ever had before.
After the print advertisement, it came to the publicity film. Half a month was gone before she knew.
She took a bodyguard as Dylan ordered, made little contact with Kevin, and went back home before 6:00 pm every day. She didn't want to give Dylan an excuse to cancel her work, and more importantly, she feared that Dylan would go against JK if she did not obey him.
Towards the end of the shoot, a young dresser came to Savannah and invited her to have lunch together.
"Why not eat together with us, Savannah?"
"Thank you, but I'm going out."
She knew Kevin would have meals in JK's staff canteen every day. These days, in order not to meet Kevin, Savannah never went to the staff canteen.
"Going out again? Alone? You eat outside alone every day!"
"Well, the food in the canteen doesn't seem to agree with me," Savannah smiled, wishing she didn't have to lie to the people she liked so much.
The dresser didn't make things difficult for her; she just waved and left first.
Savannah changed her clothes and went downstairs. As she just stepped out of the office building, the bodyguard came up to her.
