"I think I performed quite well today, so how are you planning to reward me?" Hansen climbed under the quilt after taking a bath and hugged Jenna while making his request. He was so close to her that she could feel the heat coming out of his mouth.
Jenna was certainly not stupid. She immediately understood what he meant.
"I'm tired so, no," she covered his mouth with her hand and said softly.
"That's not an acceptable answer, I can't accompany you for nothing. You know I will never suffer losses," Hansen took her hand away, kissed her earlobe, and said in her ear. "You performed well last night. I want you to do the same again."
Last night? Jenna's face suddenly turned red.
The night before was way too much... One time was already the limit, but he now wanted a second time? He was addicted! She shook her head and said, "No, no, that was the last time."
"I have the final say. That was just the beginning. Do you dare to disagree?" Hansen's hands were already under her clothes, threatening her.
"No, no..." Jenna's words soon drowned in his kisses.
"Hansen, Hansen." In the quiet night, Aria's charming voice came from the door of Jenna's bedroom. Her voice trembled and floated, and she seemed to have drunk a lot of wine.
Hansen frowned and stopped the intimacy with Jenna. These days, she often slapped their door like this, totally losing her dignity as a woman and begging him for nothing. It gave him a headache.
What was worse was that Director Cook had been calling him quite frequently, telling him that Aria was always late for work for no reason. She would always be in bad shape during filming that even a simple scene needed to be filmed multiple times. Not only that, her performance had affected the progress of filming. She was also always drunk and even hit someone on set. Her presence had been a disaster for the crew.
The decision to let her join the entertainment industry was also his idea after careful consideration.
She had the talent in acting as well as the potential to be a star, therefore she was well-suited for the entertainment industry. Whereas in the Richards Group, she had no role to play. She did not even have the minimum management skills.
If it was the past when he had the thought of marrying her, he would at least consider the reputation of the Richards family and tell her to stay at home and not do anything. However, Jenna's arrival taught him a lot. He realized that a woman must have a career for herself in order for her to live with dignity and lead a more meaningful life.
He thought that the reason for Aria to constantly pester him and stay at Richards Manor whole day long without doing anything, as well as getting close to Marissa, was because she did not have a career of her own, causing her to be lonely with a lot of spare time. She had a talent in acting. If she could advance her career in this industry and widen her horizons, perhaps everything would be different.
So he decided to give her a push.
In fact, Aria had been with him for so many years, and he was very willing to help her too.
The condition was that she had to be willing to.
When she brought it up that day, he too immediately agreed because of this.
"Hansen, open the door. I want to see you." The bedroom door was slammed hard by her, the sound echoing in the corridor, as she yelled outside.
Hansen had to sit up and say in a deep voice, "Aria, it's already so late. Get some rest."
"No, Hansen... I can't sleep, I want to see you, want you to accompany me... Please, Hansen, come accompany me." She cried outside. She was crying and shouting till she was hoarse.
She did not give up on slamming the door, so much so that it almost broke from her slamming.
The expression on Hansen's face was ugly, but after thinking about it, he got up, put on his clothes, and got out of bed. He was really annoyed from her frequent disturbances.
Hansen’s departure brought Jenna a chilly feeling. She sat up and saw Hansen’s tall figure walking toward the door. He opened the door and Aria immediately rushed into his arms like a little rabbit, trembling and crying terribly.
As if something important embedded in her body had suddenly separated from her, her heart began to ache sharply.
What would any woman feel when she saw the man she loved being so intimate with another woman?
However, what could she do in the current situation?
What scared her even more was that Aria now looked like a different person.
