Chapter 67
The next morning, everyone continued with their daily lives. Director Jeunes didn’t cut the vacation short so everyone still enjoyed themselves while they tried to avoid Michelle as much as possible.
Even after she seemed to have cooled down after what happened the previous day, she didn’t bother to talk with anyone.
Director Jeunes made sure to send both Edna and Miranda back as he promised.
In the bedroom, Selene rubbed her eyes before fluttering them open. She found Xavier staring at her, a soft smile on his lips. From the look in his eyes, it was clear he had been watching her for a while.
Feeling a little conscious, Selene covered her mouth before saying, “Good morning p>
Xavier’s smile widened as he chuckled lightly at her action. “Good morning,” he replied. “You were sleeping for so long I thought you weren’t going to wake up,” he added.
“Really, what’s the time?” She asked, intending to jump off the bed but Xavier held her back.
“Relax, it’s just 11 am p>
She frowned. “11 am and you are not going to work?” She asked, confusion etched on her face.
“I’m not. I want to spend more time with you,” he replied.
“Ah-umm Selene stuttered, unable to find words to say while her heart nearly raced out of her chest. She tore her eyes away from him, unable to hold his hot gaze.
Xavier pulled her towards her, her head resting on the pillow as he pushed her chin up so that she could look back at him.
Xavier couldn’t be any more glad when his member finally slept before he slipped under the covers last night. But now, he was craving for her lips. Their first kiss was unexpected but he didn’t regret it at all.
He leaned in before he captured her lips. Selene’s eyes widened slightly before she gave in.
Xavier kissed her hard, like a hungry man. Selene was out of breath before he released her.
Her cheeks were flushed while her entire face was as red as a tomato. Her heartbeat raced. She intended to slip from under him like she did the previous night, but it seemed Xavier had already predicted her moves.
He stopped right before she could slip away.
“Ana,” he called her by her real name and Selene felt her heart skip a beat. “I p>
“Xavier,” she immediately interrupted him. “I think I should go,” she added.
Xavier stared at her, confusion etched on her lips. His lips formed a thin line before he nodded hesitantly.
Selene didn’t waste any time. She immediately sprang up and headed towards the bathroom.
Xavier could only stare at her retreating with a sigh. He was also confused, not knowing what he wanted to say to her either.
He ran his hand through his hair in frustration before he sighed again.
“I will tell her that later,” he said to himself.
Selene walked out of the room without Xavier. He’d already told her he would be right behind her once he was through with a few things.
Selene silently prayed that he didn’t. She couldn’t look him in the eyes without blushing, and that alone was embarrassing to her.
Just like the previous day, Selene walked towards where Kace was seated with Liam and Martha.
As soon as Liam saw her, he scanned around, looking for her boyfriend but couldn’t find him anywhere.
Selene asked Martha how she was since she didn’t attend the party. The latter replied saying she caught a fever. Selene wished her well and she started eating breakfast.
Xavier had offered to have breakfast in the room, but Selene immediately objected. She wanted to avoid him for some time.
Liam asked Selene a few questions about her night and the latter kept it simple.
Martha noticed the way Liam cared so much about Selene and couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.
Both she and Liam have known each other for long and she knew he cared about her, but having him care about another woman made her feel uncomfortable, even though they were not dating.
Martha sighed and looked away when her eyes landed on Michelle who was seated on her own, having her drink while glaring into her phone as if she wanted it to explode.
“Hey,” Martha tapped Selene. “Isn’t that your so-called friend Michelle sitting there?” She asked.
Even though Martha wasn’t present at the scene yesterday, it wasn’t difficult for her to find out what was happening since some people’s mouths refuse to keep shut.
Selene with the other two men glanced at Michelle.
“I wonder what she’s glaring at her phone for,” she mumbled to herself.
Martha stared at Selene with a perplexed look.
“You haven’t seen the fire burning on the internet today?” She questioned Selene.
Selene frowned deeply. “What fire p>
Martha pulled out her phone and went to Mestagram where videos of what happened the previous day had been uploaded.
Selene stared with wide eyes, trying to hide the smirk that was threatening to pull on her lips.
“Michelle’s fans have turned against her,” said Martha, opening the comment section. “Well, most of her fans. Some foolish ones are still defending her,” she added.
Selene immediately pulled out her mobile phone to check the comments as well. Some netizens were indeed still defending Michelle after what she did.
She scrolled through the comment section and noticed some netizens defending her while some blamed her for what happened, and why she stole Michelle’s main role in the movie by sleeping with the director.
Selene couldn’t help but sigh. She placed her phone back inside her pocket and continued to eat breakfast.
“Some people’s fingers sometimes need to be cut off so that they can’t use it on the internet anymore by typing rubbish,” Selene muttered to herself.
Kace’ mouth twitched.
Suddenly, she felt someone’s presence behind her. She noticed Kace glare at the figure. Curious, she turned, only to find Michelle standing behind her.
“We need to talk,” said Michelle.
