Chapter 22
With her hand stretching out for about ten seconds, she fell into a cold embrace as she wished.
In the dream, Josh Hunter seemed to be more gentle.
Diana Swift shrank into his arms and muttered, "I'm on my period."
The subtext was that you could do nothing in the dream.
Josh Hunter didn't know what she was thinking. The first thing that came to his mind was that it was best not to stain the sheets when he heard that she was on her period, so he found a blanket from the closet and put it under her.
Nowadays, there were probably not many bosses like him who were sympathetic to the hotel cleaning staff.
After putting Diana Swift in the bed, Josh Hunter wanted to get up. However, when Diana Swift was under the weather, she would be extremely clingy. She refused to let him go and her arm was wrapped around his neck. Using all his strength, he pulled her hands off and tuck them into the quilt.
Twenty minutes later, Josh Hunter went to bed after taking a shower. Diana Swift rolled into his arms very quickly like she was a temperature sensor. She hugged him tightly with dainty little nods. Her pallid lips also pressed against his chest, and she felt comfortable in this temperature.
Josh Hunter had planned to pull her away, but she suddenly kissed him. Her unconscious kiss was titillated and soft.
Josh Hunter paused for a while, his compassionate heart that hadn't been seen in a long time flashed back. He lay on her side and held her in his arms.
-
A night without dreams.
The next morning, Diana Swift woke up from the crimson tide. When she saw Josh Hunter beside her, she suddenly thought she was in the Moonshadow Mansion.
After seeing the decoration of the hotel, she stretched out a finger and poked Josh Hunter.
- He had no response, but he was alive.
Why was he here?
Diana Swift didn't know that Josh Hunter had a social engagement in P City last night. She thought he had already set off for X City when he sent her the message.
So after she arrived in X City yesterday, she didn't contact him on purpose. She just didn't want to live with him.
However, he still kept showing up, coming here for her.
After waking up, Diana Swift lifted the thin quilt. She covered her belly and moved out of the bed carefully.
It was not that she wanted to take care of Josh Hunter's sleep quality, and it was just because she couldn't move in a big way. If she didn't pay attention, the crimson tide in her body would flow down hard.
After entering the bathroom and squatting on the toilet, she temporarily kept herself in her comfort zone.
She rested her elbows on her knees, her hands on her cheeks.
After a while, she felt bored again. She picked up her phone and flipped through it.
There were a lot of unread messages on the phone. Apart from the daily greetings from her real or false friends who spent a lot of money, her mysterious aunt Renee Hunter even sent her a WeChat message.
Renee Hunter: [Diana, did you go to X City with Josh? Are you going to stay for a few months this time? ]
Diana Swift didn't think much about it, so she casually returned the emoji "Little Maruko nods" and typed: "Yes, it will take a month or two."
After she finished replying, she paused for a while and suddenly remembered something.
Her aunt had always been obsessed with experimenting, so she would not care whether they were at home or abroad or in P City or X City. It must be her families who asked her to send her messages.
Her families were worried that... Josh Hunter would stay in X City for too long and get involved with the George family? But didn't the George family go abroad a long time ago?
Diana Swift only knew little about the old affairs of the Hunter family. When Toby Hunter left before, her families told her that Toby Hunter simply went abroad to study.
Later, when she grew up, she learned more or less about the internal cause and effect. However, the Hunter family kept a secret about this matter, and outsiders only knew little about it.
After a while, Renee Hunter sent another message.
This message confirmed Diana Swift's guess.
Renee Hunter: [Diana, you should also know something about the George family. The George family has recently returned to X City, and my father felt worried about it. If Josh is in touch with them, please let me know if it is convenient for you. ]
The George family returned to X City? It was understandable for his father to keep worrying about him.
Diana Swift struggled for a long time. Typing and deleting repeatedly, finally, she sent out the word "Okay".
She supposed that's all right to talk to his families. Moreover, Josh Hunter might not necessarily contact the George family. Even if he contacted them, he might not let her know.
After doing the psychological work for herself of being a little spy, Diana Swift finally no longer felt so guilty. She got up, washed her hands, and wanted to go back to bed for a nap. But as soon as she opened the door, she saw Josh Hunter standing outside as if he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door.
She felt her heart leap, and her drowsiness instantly dissipated. She mumbled, "You, you're awake."
"What's wrong?" Josh Hunter looked at her calmly.
"That's all right." Diana Swift mumbled again, "Then...why are you here? I am shocked to see you here when I woke up."
Josh Hunter explained to her briefly. Of course, Mandy Lee had already been ignored by him.
In his words, he already knew that she was going to participate in the show?
Diana Swift changed the subject and said, "By the way, I'm going to the TV station to sign a contract this afternoon. I need the help from your personal lawyer."
"Well, I'll ask Sam Rodriguez to arrange it for you."
Diana Swift nodded and turned sideways to make way for Josh Hunter.
As Josh Hunter entered the bathroom, she helped close the door intimately.
When the door was closed, she pulled the handle and let out a long sigh of relief.
-
It had always been hotter in X City than in P City. Near the end of summer, it was nearly forty degrees centigrade in the afternoon. The camphor trees in the street were lightened by the sun with its leaves dropping, which was a unique scenery on a lazy afternoon in this city.
After Diana Swift finished her lunch, she took a beauty nap. After waking up, she dressed up for two hours before reaching the beauty standard of going out.
The driver and the lawyer were drowsy and sleepy in the car. At three o'clock in the afternoon, they finally picked up Diana Swift and set off for the Radio and Television Building in X City.
The one responsible for receiving Diana Swift was the production assistant of the "Designer" program group. Diana Swift was quite unhappy at first. How could they ask a small assistant to receive her? It was too unpretentious.
But later, she put herself in the assistant's place, thinking that it was not easy for a little girl to work outside, so she forgave them.
This little assistant was just an ordinary girl who had seen nothing of life, and she got a powerful vibe from Diana Swift.
Fortunately, the contract was drawn up by the program team before, and she only needed to make certain that she signed it.
But Diana Swift didn't take the contract. She looked at the man sitting on the other sofa, "Jay, please take a look at it."
The little assistant: "..."
It was amazing for her to have her own lawyer.
The lawyer Jay took over the contract and put on his glasses to review it carefully.
"Article 1.12 only puts forward a privacy restriction clause for my client Miss Swift but does not require the program group to restrict privacy. I don't think this is reasonable."
"In article 2.09, the definition of the design copyright is too vague. The copyright of the works designed by my client in the program should belong to my client unconditionally."
"In article 3.01, the definition of using my client's social account as propaganda is too broad, and there is no proper restriction on the timeliness. It is unreasonable."
...
Jay picked out more than ten loopholes and seemed to condemn the lack of strictness of the legal team in his words.
The little assistant was stunned.
Oh my gosh, she was not a star. How could an ordinary girl who participated in the show demand so much for the contract? Others just signed it without looking at it.
She calmed down herself, saying: "Well, Miss Swift, our contracts are based on the same template, and everyone signs them like this. I'm sure you won't have any problems with it."
Jay: "You are not the person in charge of the show, and your guarantee will have no legal effect."
Assistant: "..."
Diana Swift had just persuaded herself to accept the reception of an assistant, but Jay picked out so many loopholes from the contract. Her bad temper was revealed in an instant, "Ask your leader here."
The producer was receiving Scott Rice, and he had no time to take care of you.
The little assistant murmured silently, standing there motionless.
Diana Swift was not so patient. She said while wearing her sunglasses, "Since your show team is insincere, I won't sign this contract."
"Wait, Miss Swift!" Although she was only an ordinary girl, the assistant should make sure that the contract was signed by her today. She apologized in a hurry, "I'm sorry. The contracts we issued here, including those prepared for the celebrities or artists, are based on the same template, and we make some corrections. If Miss Swift is not satisfied, I will now contact the producer to see if they can make some adjustments."
It sounded better.
The assistant asked Diana Swift to wait for a minute, and she hurriedly went to the other VIP reception room on this floor.
Today, Scott Rice came over to participate in the program. After the program was finished, he just signed a contract with them. At this moment, the producer was receiving him personally, explaining the contract clauses one by one to the lawyer who came together with him.
When it was about to be finalized, the assistant came to knock on the door.
The producer asked: "What's the matter? Has Miss Swift already signed it?"
"Miss Swift...Miss Swift brought a lawyer here," The little assistant mumbled. "The lawyer thinks that some clauses in the contract are not reasonable and need to be revised."
The producer frowned, he thought exactly the same as the little assistant thought before: She's not a star. Who wants to take advantage of her? She should cherish this opportunity to participate in the show on X City TV.
This producer had a friendship with Page Mill. He originally wanted to invite Page Mill and Scott Ricescreen to make a coupling, so as to make big ratings.
However, Page Milli and Scott Rice had made a clear breakup in private, so it was not suitable for them to join in the show together.
A few days ago, Page Mill recommended Diana Swift to the producers. On the one hand, she felt that Diana Swift was suitable for this show; on the other hand, she felt that Diana Swift had a good image and temperament. It was even better if she could make a coupling with Scott Rice.
The producer also liked her good idea, so he chose Diana Swift and made an initial plan.
But yesterday, the sponsors were dissatisfied with their plan. They didn't allow Scott Rice and Diana Swift to make a coupling, and they didn't allow Diana Swift to be the key subject of filming.
They figured out what the investor meant, thinking that the investor didn't want other designers to steal the limelight of the two they chose before. Their enthusiasm for Diana Swift also faded away.
At this moment, when the producer heard that Diana Swift was dissatisfied with the contract, he wanted to ask the assistant to convey his meaning "To sign or to leave".
But Scott Rice smiled suddenly, "Miss Swift? I know her."
He pushed the contract on the table: "Why don't you use my template for Miss Swift as well."
