Chapter 224
All that sweet talk and mushy flirting—what even is that wording?
Lisette Cavendish was silently roasting them in her head, but her fingers were betraying her, gently scratching Scarlett Graham’s palm as she smiled, “Of course I’m choosing my big sis p>
The next second, she caught a death stare full of grievance from someone obviously drowning in jealousy.
Lisette: p>
Stuck between two people randomly getting jealous over each other, she felt… small, helpless, and totally pitiful!
Thankfully, her social life wasn’t bad. Elliot Jameson showed up just in time to drag Tobias Hastings back to the office.
Lisette breathed out a huge sigh of relief.
Finally! One boss down!
But of course, before getting in the car, Tobias insisted on kissing her over and over, holding her in place until her lips were clearly “claimed p>
His voice low and raspy, he murmured, “Remember, you’re marked by me. Hands off, everyone else p>
“Mm-hmm! Got it p>
Lisette barely managed to wave him off after pacifying him like a pro.
And then, turning to Scarlett, she did a whole 180, totally tossing that so-called “marking” to the back of her head. She latched onto her like a koala, rubbing against her shoulder shamelessly. “Scarlett, can I go change my outfit p>
She pouted, looking aggrieved. “Those Carmen girls just said I looked tacky p>
“They wouldn’t know good taste if it hit them in the face p>
Scarlett looked her up and down with pride, absolutely adoring her little rich-girl doll. “Babe, you look like someone who’s been bathed in cash. Anyone wanting to mess with you better check if their wallet’s up to the task p>
Lisette: “Hehe. Sure. Whatever you say, Your Majesty p>
Right when Scarlett was enjoying the view, something in her gaze shifted.
That look… uh-oh.
Lisette froze like she’d been hit by lightning. “W-What’s wrong p>
“This ring p>
Scarlett pointed, and Lisette immediately lifted her hand, glancing at the four ultra-expensive rings stacked on her fingers. She checked left and right—nothing looked off. “The rings are fine! They’re all super pricey p>
She sounded very confident.
Expressionless, Scarlett said, “The one on your left index finger—I saw you wear that last time p>
Lisette: p>
Wait, really? She couldn’t remember that at all.
Every time she saw Scarlett, she purposely picked out the most high-end stuff. With so many rings lying around, was it really that hard to end up picking the same one twice?
She was already planning to start taking pics of each outfit to avoid future repeats, but before she could bring it up, Scarlett had already grabbed her hand and told the driver, “Head to the shopping district. I’m buying my baby some new jewelry p>
Lisette: p>
After a whole morning of shopping, Lisette felt like she was about to die from exhaustion.
But Scarlett? In heels? Moving like she’d been injected with caffeine, strutting through stores like she owned them.
Her routine was laser-focused: walk into a store, glance around, blurt out Lisette’s wrist size, pick a dozen pieces, get them all packed, and have them delivered straight to Lisette’s hotel.
Total sugar mommy vibes.
Scarlett was the world’s top supermodel, face of multiple luxury brands, and a total icon abroad. Store clerks practically tripped over themselves trying to serve her. And she wasn’t shy with her spending either—employee morale instantly skyrocketed. Lisette just stood there, eating up all the compliments thrown her way.
Finally, when Scarlett paused to sip some water, Lisette jumped at the chance and quickly ordered the driver to haul them both to the show set.
Anymore shopping and she might actually get mistaken for a runaway shoplifter!
When they arrived, Justin Brooks and the other ladies had just finished their very delayed lunch.
During the break, Justin chirped sweetly, “Lovely ladies, can I redo last night’s scene for you p>
The ladies, in perfect harmony, replied, “Sure!”Originally, Lisette Cavendish thought filming the show might be exhausting. But thanks to Justin Brooks and his insanely deep connections in Munich, the whole crew was basically getting a five-star vacation.
So of course, when the little bro was pulling out all the stops, the big sisters happily played along.
Seeing things going well, the director quickly said, “Pass over last night’s script p>
Just as someone handed it to him, he caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye. He froze. “Wait, is that p>
“Scarlett Graham p>
He practically jumped out of his chair, rushing over in half a second like a full-on fanboy.
Afraid he’d make the beauty uncomfortable, he nervously wiped his sweaty palms on his pants before carefully offering a handshake. “Miss Graham, it’s an honor… hi p>
Scarlett was a huge name in the fashion world—untouchable, aloof, and never the type to do reality shows. Modeling and fancy fashion shoots, sure. But this? Unthinkable.
With her unreal face and killer figure, she looked like someone straight out of a fairy tale—stunning and untouchable. Every move she made had that magnetic pull, like she was born to be stared at.
Even the usually no-nonsense director had turned into a clueless starstruck kid.
Lisette side-eyed the whole scene, a bit speechless. Wasn’t this the same director who looked ready to axe Justin from the show yesterday?
Before she could dwell on it, half the crew had crowded around too.
Most of them were just as excited as the director, falling over themselves to say hi to the fashion goddess. Only a couple of camera guys stayed behind, looking frustrated. Honestly, if they weren’t filming, they’d be dashing over, gear and all. After all, how often do you get this close to the top beauty of Sion?
Ughhhh! Someone pause time already!
Lisette watched as her dazzling Scarlett walked in and instantly stole everyone’s attention. She smirked, pride practically written all over her face.
That’s right. That woman up there? She’s mine.
Find anyone else who can make an entrance like this. Go ahead, try. Yeah, didn’t think so.
Scarlett, completely unaffected by the commotion, kept her cool expression the entire time.
When everyone’s greetings finally died down, she turned to Lisette and asked, “Babe, who’re all these people p>
Lisette cleared her throat. “Uh, that’s the director of ’Sisters on the Go,’ this is the assistant director, and that’s p>
She introduced everyone, but Scarlett clearly wasn’t registering names. Not that it mattered. She just needed to back her girl up, no matter what.
“Nice to meet you all. I’m Lisette’s sister, Scarlett. I heard her artist’s guest-starring on the show, so I tagged along today. Hope you’ll take good care of them both—I really appreciate it p>
She didn’t use any overly polished tone, just a normal voice. But damn… it still sounded like a song.
Even after she stopped speaking, that voice clung to your ears, sweet and teasing.
The guys Scarlett smiled at all started nodding like crazy. “Of course, Miss Graham! We’ll make sure Lisette’s got everything she needs! And of course, Justin too p>
Their gazes shifted toward Lisette, suddenly respectful… and kind of jealous.
Did she just call Lisette “babe”? Seriously p>
They would’ve sold their souls to have her say that to them.
Before this, they’d kind of written off Lisette as a rookie agent from VistaSphere and weren’t all that welcoming.
Now? They were practically ready to swear loyalty on the spot.
The vibe flipped fast.
Lisette could practically hear the points stacking up. Her status in the crew? Skyrocketing!
