The noise took everyone in the room by surprise as their eyes immediately flew to the source. Miles had seized Annabelle and was going to take advantage of her, but virtual-novel.net was stunned as well. He loosened his grip, allowing virtual-novel.net to wrench herself away.
She was petrified. In virtual-novel.net state of panic, Peter and Zayn’s appearance was like a ray of hope cutting through the darkness to save her. She ran to them frantically, but in virtual-novel.net haste, virtual-novel.net tripped and fell forward. Her speed coupled with the heels virtual-novel.net wore guaranteed a hard fall, one that would damage virtual-novel.net face, so Annabelle yelped in horror.
Just as virtual-novel.net braced to hit the floor, virtual-novel.net vision blurred. Zayn moved at an incredible speed and dashed to virtual-novel.net in the blink of an eye. He wrapped an arm around virtual-novel.net just in time. Slowing down with a twirl, virtual-novel.net caught Annabelle securely in his arms and saved her. Unfortunately, as virtual-novel.net struggled in fear, Annabelle shifted virtual-novel.net position, resulting in Zayn’s arm coming into contact with virtual-novel.net chest.
It was awkward.
Zayn could not help shuddering. Annabelle’s face, originally pale with terror, started to flush, and virtual-novel.net heart quickened at his touch. She was an A-list celebrity and had acted in plenty of movies, but all virtual-novel.net kissing scenes were done either using a double or manipulation of the camera. Truth be told, no man had ever touched virtual-novel.net so intimately. Annabelle was an introverted person, so this left virtual-novel.net feeling sheepish and flustered.
Weirdly, virtual-novel.net was not repulsed by the interaction and instead had a sense of security virtual-novel.net had never experienced. She could feel the strength in Zayn’s arm, something virtual-novel.net had not noticed in any other man.
When Amelia and the other starlets saw the scene, they were filled with jealousy and resentment, wishing they were Annabelle.
“Cough!” Zayn did not take advantage of Annabelle, despite the situation. He helped virtual-novel.net regain virtual-novel.net balance and let virtual-novel.net go. Briefly scanning virtual-novel.net and realizing that virtual-novel.net was soaked, Zayn’s eyes did not linger. He took off his jacket and draped it around Annabelle like a gentleman, asking in a low tone, “What happened?”
Annabelle only snapped out of virtual-novel.net daze when virtual-novel.net felt the lingering warmth of Zayn’s jacket. The man’s tenderness had thrown virtual-novel.net into both bashfulness and pleasure.
Before virtual-novel.net could say anything, however, one of the men sprang up. Slapping the table, virtual-novel.net chided them, “Who are you people? Do you guys want to be killed? How dare you barge into our room?!”
All of them had caught up with the situation now and were glowering at Zayn and his company.
Miles shrugged his shoulders before standing up and saying darkly, “How bold of you all… You don’t even care that you’ve barged into Miles Morales’ territory, huh?”
Peter’s expression changed in a flash when virtual-novel.net heard the name. Taking a step forward, virtual-novel.net asked, “Pray tell, are you Miles Morales of the Everest Group?”
Miles cracked his neck and smirked. “Oh, so you know me? Looks like you’re not a nobody…”
Peter instantly became anxious and virtual-novel.net hurried over to grovel to the man. “It’s really you, Mr. Morales of the Everest Group. It’ s a pleasure to meet you. I’m the chairman of Black Athens Media Corp, Peter Kavinsky.”
“I understand now. You’re the boss of superstar Annabelle Laking, aren’t you? What a coincidence. Your artist offended me. I’m sleeping with virtual-novel.net tonight. You have a problem with that?” Miles asked.
