Chapter 997 He Just Won't Stay Gone After a moment, Audrey snapped out of it and pointed to the phone on the table. "Here's your phone." With that, she was about to leave.
A familiar smell hit her as she passed by Triston.
It was still that shower gel with the unique scent of lilac.
He got bored of women quickly but was more loyal to other things, such as the body wash he had used for many years.
Audrey was about to walk out the door when Triston grabbed her. Before she could react, everything started spinning, and Triston had already pressed her down on the bed.
They stared at each other, and there was hardly any space between them. Audrey could feel the warm breath directly spraying on her face, causing her heart to race.
She tried to keep calm, frowning and staring at the man in front of her. "Mr. Lambert, please let go." Triston was squinting at her. Everyone said he was heartless and cold.
But he knew his indifference was nothing compared to the woman before him.
She was the real heartless one.
When she got determined, she could just leave and not even give him any updates.
God knew how much he wanted to strangle her, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"What are you gonna do about it if I don't?" asked Triston.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAudrey was irritated by his shameless words. "That's your own business. Let go of me, or else don't blme for being rude to you." Hearing Audrey's warning, Triston not only didn't let go but held her even tighter. "I won't let go. Even if you beatto death today, I still won't let go. Aud, cback." Triston didn't drink alcohol, but holding Audrey in his arms made him feel as if he were totally drunk, his brain all foggy and not thinking clearly. He just didn't want to let go.
He couldn't bear to see Audrey leave and didn't want to deal with the consequences of losing her.
When Triston spoke, Audrey froze in place, forgetting to move.
His cold, thin lips gently kissed her cheek, not daring to make too much of a move.
He was super careful with every move, like holding srare treasure.
The kissing started to get more intense. Audrey, who was still lost in a hazy world, suddenly felt a coldness.
In an instant, she snapped out of it. When she cto her senses, she pushed Triston away and ran out of the room.
As Triston watched her walk away, his eyes were filled with disappointment.
After leaving the hotel, Audrey drove back to her apartment like a maniac.
She had made quite a bit of money over the years. Moreover, Catherine gave her annual dividends from the Swann Corporation. She was totally a rich lady.
But she never thought about moving. The Swanns' old house was empty, and she never thought about moving back there.
As nice as it was outside, it was still not as cozy as her little apartment.
No matter how tough things got, she could just sleep it off in her little apartment.
But tonight, Audrey couldn't fall asleep.
After coming back from the hotel, she tossed and turned in bed for hours without being able to fall asleep. She forced herself to wear the eye mask and closed her eyes.
But even though the eyes were closed, her brain kept on working. When the doorbell rang the next day, Audrey instantly jumped up from the bed and walked to the front door.
Kim looked at her in surprise, saying, " You opened the door quickly today. I thought you were up all night!" Audrey didn't want to answer him because she did stay up all night.
When Kim walked in and saw her lying on the sofa looking exhausted, he couldn't help but exclaim, “Don't tellI guessed right; you partied too hard last night and didn't sleep? My goodness, don't you remember we have a commercial shoot today?" Kim had already figured out that if Catherine got married. Audrey would definitely have a crazy celebration.
Staying up all night wouldn't be enough. After all, it was normal to celebrate for your younger sister to be getting married.
He had got it all sorted out and arranged stoff for Audrey. To his surprise, Audrey insisted she could work the next day, guaranteeing it wouldn't affect the work.
Under her rare enthusiasm, Kim arranged the schedule for her.
He didn't expect that the reliable person could also stand him up.
"I do!" Audrey's voice was weak.
Kim angrily looked at her, shouting, What did you promise?" Audrey flashed a sweet smile. She never expected Triston to go crazy last night.
"Kim, don't be mad. I'm gonna go drink coffee and do a face mask to get back in top shape," she said. After two cups of espresso, plus a complete set of caviar face masks for emergency rescue, Audrey's swollen face and dark circles had finally improved a bit. She had recovered about seventy to eighty percent of her original beauty.
Kim took her to the set and handed her over to the makeup artist. "Ms. Swann, you've been exhausted these days, right? Your skin doesn't look too good, “said the makeup artist.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment the makeup artist finished talking, Kim shot Audrey a fierce look, totally freaking her out and making her neck shrink back.
She chuckled and said, "Been pretty busy these days. I didn't get much rest!” The makeup artist nodded in understanding and said, "Your younger sister is getting married; as her sister, you naturally have to work a bit harder. We can understand it. Don't worry about this small issue. Leave it to me. I'll help you look better." Audrey nodded guiltily and said, " Thanks.” With this assurance, Kim's complexion finally looked a bit better.
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief in secret, thinking she had managed to dodge a bullet by leaning on her little sister.
Make-up was done; now, onto the filming process.
Audrey was a pro now; plus, she was super popular, so the shooting was going really smoothly.
As soon as the director announced a half-tbreak, the project leader of the sponsorship cknocking on the door. "Ms. Swann, our boss is N here, and he wants to watch the filming. Go over and say hi to him." Such a thing happened way too often on set.
When the sponsor came, Audrey still had to show srespect even if she was the main character.
Along with Kim, she followed the project leader to meet the sponsor.
"Mr. Lambert, Ms. Swann is here." Audrey subconsciously looked up and saw the man standing across from her, instantly furrowing her brows. 'He just won't stay gone,' she thought.
Audrey had a really shitty expression. She planned on just turning around and leaving, but Kim grabbed her.
Kim knew about the relationship between Audrey and Triston, but at the end of the day, this was about being professional at work.
The project leader saw that Audrey's face didn't look good, and beads of sweat as big as beans were falling E from his forehead. He used to think Audrey was easygoing, but how did she drop the ball at a crucial moment?
He approached Audrey with a flattering smile and said, "Ms Swann, this is Mr. Lambert. Say hi and introduce yourself, please." Audrey gave an annoyed glance. "Why bother greeting him? I'm right in front of him. Can't he see?" Her rudeness left everyone who didn't know the truth completely shocked.
'She's too arrogant. Audrey is done for this time. There won't be any benefits in offending this guy, the onlookers thought.
