Chapter 34
The light in the hotel suites of Lux Hotel Group was very exquisite. There was a row of bright searchlights on wine cabinets and bookshelves, and LED ring induction lamps on the bathroom mirror. The light of the floor lamp of bamboo strips beside the bed was slightly soft and warm yellow.
When they were looking at each other in silence, it seemed that the light could add some tender and ambiguous feelings to this silence.
- Only if Diana Swift was not so hungry that her stomach grumbled.
-
Diana Swift was still thinking about the last night when she continued to attend the program recording the next day.
Her mind was full of the image in which they were looking at each other and about to kiss each other. She unconsciously regretted her stomach's grumbling, and she even uncontrollably followed the last night's scene to restore the hot image that should have happened.
"Diana, Diana?" Ivan Churchill called her twice, "What are you laughing at alone? Get off. "
Sarah Reed followed his voice and gave her a look of slight disdain. When she saw that the camera hadn't been turned on, she didn't fake it and taunted, "In heat."
After that, she took the lead in getting out of the car and asked the makeup artist to help her with her makeup, looking back and pretending to look into the car inadvertently.
These days, Sarah Reed was suppressed by Diana Swift to be too furious. However, as a girl idol, even if there were 10,000 dirty words in her heart, she couldn't scold them out without fear in front of the camera like Diana Swift.
And Diana Swift was particularly evil. Sarah Reed didn't not know where she got the courage to be not modest and patient at all and she did everything rampantly and openly.
These days she fully realized Diana Swift's arrogance. After taunted her, she inevitably regretted and became nervous, for fear that Diana Swift would rush out of the car and give her two slaps on the face. She thought that Diana Swift was absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
But after Diana Swift reacted from her imagination, she didn't bother to settle the score with Sarah Reed, because she was soon immersed in the shock of "I should have wild desires for Josh Hunter", and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
It's too shameful!
It's too unreal!
Diana Swift slapped her face and kept suggesting to herself to wake up.
How could she be chagrined that she didn't have sex with Josh Hunter and imagine it on her own?
No, it couldn't be! It must be because she hadn't had sex for so long that she was so horny!
And there's no way she could like a man like Josh Hunter, who had been incompatible with her since she was a child. It's almost a joke!
She just liked his money simply!
Yes, that's right. That's it.
After convincing herself, Diana Swift even nodded solemnly.
-
Due to yesterday's chaos and the shallow sleep at night, Josh Hunter didn't reverse the jet lag at all.
Early this morning, he called a meeting of branch executives. A group of well-dressed people sat there blaming each other and shirking their responsibilities. They quarreled for three hours.
Josh Hunter was still sitting alive in the first place, and they were flushed and quarreled with each other as if fighting for his heritage.
At the end of the meeting, Josh Hunter's brain still echoed with the noise.
He went into the office alone and told Sam Rodriguez not to let anyone in. He leaned back in his office chair and listened to the piano music for half an hour. Only after that did he ease his mind a little.
It's said that women are noisy. He thought compared with this group of men, even Diana Swift could be regarded as gentle.
Thinking of Diana Swift, he picked up his mobile phone, opened WeChat and passed her friend application.
Josh Hunter seldom browsed Moments on WeChat. Seeing Diana Swift's photo album, he clicked to scan her Moments.
He didn't expect that he would read them for half an hour.
The content of Diana Swift's Moments was similar to what he imagined, but in addition to the content of pretending to be a famous lady and a wealthy wife, many of them were down to earth and even a little silly.
When Sam Rodriguez dialed the internal line to remind him that he had a social gathering in the afternoon, he had just seen the New Year's photos posted by Diana Swift earlier this year.
She was wrapped in a fluffy coat and jacket with a little red hat on her head, and her smiling eyes were curved, bright and cute.
He saved the photo while ordering official business in a light voice.
Diana Swift, who was still playing with her phone while eating the hotel's special lunchbox, was so shocked that she almost dropped her lunchbox.
She saw multiple alerts when she entered her Moments, and when she clicked in to see them, she found that it was Josh Hunter who had given her hundreds of likes.
And just when she wondered if there's something sarong with the software, Josh Hunter continued to give her likes in real time.
The alerts in WeChat kept popping up outward, and the content he liked was getting more and more remote, and online reviews started appearing.
Josh Hunter: [The photo is out of focus.]
Josh Hunter: [The color of your dress is too bright.]
Josh Hunter: [Wrong use of grammar.]
Josh Hunter: [Wrong tense.]
Josh Hunter: [Wrong idiom used.]
Diana Swift stared at the comment alerts and felt quite confused. Why did he correct her Moments while reading them? Did he think he was a class teacher?
Diana Swift clicked back to the chat interface and asked: [What are you doing?]
Josh Hunter: [Reading your Moments.]
Although the Moments were something she had always shared publicly, Josh Hunter was actually not in the category of people she thought she could share. And what's wrong with this man? Why did he have to like and write a comment? Was he trying to say "I've read it"? It's so absurd!
Diana Swift didn't want to argue with him, so she stopped it directly from the source by changing the publicity time of her Moments to the last three days. Then she sent a triumphant tongue-sticking emoji to him.
Out of her expectation, Josh Hunter did not follow the usual rules. Suddenly, he sent her a photo of her making a snowman during Chinese New Year, and commented on it.
Josh Hunter: [You look best in this photo.]
Josh Hunter: [Cuter.]
Diana Swift: [......]
Her ears flushed.
This, this dog man, couldn't be seducing her, right? Why did he suddenly praise her so directly?
She was inexplicably palpitated and quickly hid her phone into her bag.
-
She absently finished her lunch, and when she went upstairs, she just bumped into Ivan Churchill and Dean Mill sawing wood.
Most of the wood they sawed was useless, just to enhance the visibility of the program and make the audience think that the custom-made furniture also had the contributions of the stars.
At the moment, the camera wasn't on, and they were just practicing. After all, their strange posture would be likely to be criticized during recording.
She crouched over and watched them with her face in her hands, but her thoughts were still wandering in outer space.
Ivan Churchill casually asked, "Diana, what's wrong with you? You seem a little off today. "
Diana Swift returned to her senses, "I'm fine. I'm thinking ... how to specifically enhance the practicality of our scheme."
Ivan Churchill and Dean Mill couldn't say anything about this problem.
As celebrities, they lived a pampered life. They could appreciate Diana Swift's fancy design, but did not know how to make it close to life.
Josh Hunter said last night that Diana Swift's design was not practical enough, and Diana Swift also thought about it seriously for a long time.
However, the renovation period was over half, and there was not much room for change in the hard-fitting, so she could only start with the soft-fitting.
She felt that the root problem of insufficient homeliness was the lack of storage space. When she came over today, she visited the neighbors' houses in this building, and based on her observations, she tentatively modified the drawings of several pieces of custom furniture.
Take the sofa for example.
X City was located in the south, and it didn't provide floor heating in winter. Most families were used to using electric stoves for heating.
She saw in the neighbors' houses that they had placed the electric baking stoves under the tea tables, but the electric baking stoves were rather bulky. If placed under the tea table, they would not only take up the space at the bottom of the tea table and make it inconvenient to stretch legs when watching TV but also affected the beauty of the house.
So she modified the custom sofa, leaving a cuboid space under the couch base to store the electric stove. The outside was made into a small wooden door that could be pushed up and down to open, and the bottoms of the sofas on both sides were made into storage cabinets.
It's just that the transformation had been carried out at this stage, and there were too few places where she could mend.
Diana Swift squatted for a while again. Seeing that they changed the direction of the wood, she suddenly said mindless, "Let me ask you a question."
Ivan Churchill: "What?"
Diana Swift: "That is, will you suddenly give a girl a lot of liking, save a photo of the girl in her Moments, send it to her, tell her that she's beautiful in it, and praise her for being cute?"
Ivan Churchill and Dean Mill's paused, looking at each other and then both shaking their heads.
Dean Mill was still a child with no love experience, but Ivan Churchill was too old to shake.
Diana Swift asked him again, "Then what do you think this kind of action usually means?"
Ivan Churchill: "Maybe ... it means liking?"
"What like? Isn't this just flirting?"
Sarah Reed rolled her eyes, feeling very speechless at the initiative of these three who together were over sixty years old to pretend to be innocent.
Ivan Churchill was afraid that these two girls would get into trouble again, so he shook his head slightly toward Diana Swift and motioned for her to forget about it.
These days, everyone could see Sarah Reed's true face. In front of the camera, she was a cute girl idol, and when the camera was removed, she was a little female rascal.
At first, she wanted to keep a good image to hook up with Dean Mill. However, Diana Swift protected him and Dean Mill also showed good skills. She couldn't get close to talk to him, so she didn't bother to waste her mind.
She and Josh Hunter were a couple and they could have sex directly, so there's no need for them to just flirt on WeChat. Diana Swift didn't care about Sarah Reed's nonsense. She pondered what Ivan Churchill said. Did Josh Hunter like her?
It's so strange. She didn't feel it at all at ordinary times, so he liked her once in a while? Was there intermittent liking besides intermittent amnesia?
She discussed with Ivan Churchill again.
In this process, Dean Mill always kept a polite and alienated attitude, and didn't participate in the conversation, but halfway through, he went out to pick up a phone call from Josh Hunter.
Josh Hunter called him to ask him if Diana Swift had revised the design. He just sent a WeChat message to Diana Swift, but she didn't reply.
Dean Mill answered a few words. After thinking about it, he reminded, "Josh, that is, it seems that someone is chasing Diana recently."
Josh Hunter: "What?"
Dean Mill felt that he should not be so gossipy as a boy, only let him ask Diana Swift about it.
But Josh Hunter asked again. He had no choice but to lightly cough and briefly said, "There is a man who gives a lot of likes to Diana's Moments, and also sends her a photo of her, praising her for her beauty and cuteness. That's all. Don't say I told you this."
He coughed again, as if he was embarrassed about the act of informing.
