After signing the contract, every one left. In the massive villa, only Jason and Grace remained.
Looking at Grace, who was holding onto his arm with such warmth, Jason felt a flicker of contradiction in his chest.
Grace wasn't an innocent girl—she had been in two serious relationships, and with both boyfriends, things had gone further than just holding hands. That wasn't unusual. After all, she worked as a car model, always around flashy people and late-night events. Jason knew this from the start and had never intended to treat her like a "real girlfriend." By logic, it shouldn't have mattered.
Even if they spent a night together, But still Jason was a beginner at heart, he really don't want to involve emotionally with her, but second time.
"Jason, being with you already makes me happy," Grace said softly, noticing his expression. "I don't expect any kind of status. You don't have to feel pressured."
In her mind, Jason was a wealthy heir. Just being able to earn comfort and stability under his wing was more than she'd ever dared hope for. Besides, Jason was handsome—this wasn't exactly a loss for her, and more importantly he is super fierce in bed.
Looking at her cute face, it's not an unacceptable thing either
Jason's self-control, already frayed from the hot springs, snapped.
The next morning, Jason woke refreshed, his face somehow sharper than before. After breakfast with Grace, he took the keys to his Lamborghini and offered to drive her to Brilliant Guild, a streamer management branch under the New Vision Media group.
Instead of having Grace sign directly under New Vision's headquarters, Jason decided it would be smarter for her to join the branch. After all, contracts now fell under his control anyway.
"Jason, you don't need to drive me yourself," Grace said with shy affection. "It's already more than enough that you'd help me like this."
[Grace: Favorability +3 → Favorability now 85]
Jason smiled faintly. "It's fine. I've got nothing better to do today."
With one hand on the wheel, his other hand rested casually on Grace's smooth thigh.
"Jason, you're bad…" Grace whispered, but instead of pulling away, she leaned closer, her thigh pressing against his hand.
The drive took a little over half an hour. As they pulled up to the New Vision's glass-fronted offices, Jason immediately spotted two familiar figures at the entrance—Alice, and a guy standing a little too close beside her.
Alice glanced Jason's way. For a second, her eyes wavered, then she quickly composed herself, offering him a polite nod and smile.
She wasn't avoiding Jason because she thought he lacked power—if anything, she knew his strength far too well. But Alice had realized Jason didn't play by predictable routines, which made him dangerous. So she'd chosen another path, one that didn't rely on trying to outmaneuver him.
Still, she wouldn't dare be rude.
The young man standing beside Alice glanced at Jason's Lamborghini. Even if he didn't know him personally, he nodded politely and offered a greeting.
Inside the elevator, Alice broke the silence."Grace, you're here to sign with Brilliant Guild too?"
It wasn't a wild guess. The auto show scene had been shrinking in the States—fewer shows, less demand for car models. Without fame, it was getting harder to make a living. But models had a natural edge: great looks and presence. Streaming was the obvious next step.
Grace held onto Jason's arm and nodded. "Yeah. I saw how you signed with Brilliant Guild and things have been going so well for you. It inspired me."
Alice smiled faintly. "I've just started. It's nothing special—just a B-level contract.
Her tone carried envy, but also a hint as she glanced at the man next to her.
Grace's grip on Jason's arm tightened. She couldn't help remembering what Jason had said the night before—that he had already arranged an S-level partnership for her. Higher than Mia's A-level, second only to those top, custom-tailored broadcasters.
On the twelfth floor, the office of Brilliant Guild buzzed with energy. Staff moved briskly from desk to desk, the air alive with chatter.
A middle-aged woman, still striking despite her age, was giving out instructions when her eyes caught the newcomers. At first, she seemed ready to greet Grace—then her gaze landed on Jason. She froze, then quickly hurried over.
"Mr. Master Jason! Why did you come in person?"
Jason blinked. "You know me?"
"Of course," she said warmly. "Boss already informed me. I'm Vanessa—just treat me like you would treat him."
Jason gave a polite smile. "Ms Vanessa, no need to fuss over me. Focus on your work. Just make sure Grace gets her partnership, the right equipment, assistants, and planning."
Vanessa nodded immediately. "Don't worry, Jason. Everything's already prepared. Chloe, take Miss Grace to sign the contract we set up. Jason, please wait here a moment."
She personally poured Jason a cup of tea while staff rushed to handle Grace's onboarding.
Alice watched the scene unfold, stunned. Why was Vanessa treating Jason with such respect? Even if he was rich, this was far beyond the usual courtesy.
And why did Grace's contract seem to include an assistant? When Alice signed, she'd only been assigned a planner—no assistant, no special treatment.
Not far away, a tall beauty with sharp phoenix-like eyes also turned toward Jason. Her gaze lingered, surprise flickering into admiration.
[Agela: Favorability +5]
Jason heard the familiar notification in his head. He followed the sound instinctively, and when his eyes met Agela's, he knew it was her. At last, he'd seen her in person, after getting favorability point on the auto motive show.
Anyway that time he was to busy, so this is first time seeing her.
Before long, Grace's paperwork was complete. Though the partnership details weren't announced, the results spoke for themselves: the best assistant, top-tier streaming gear, and a carefully crafted action plan—all arranged on the spot.
Whispers spread among the staff and other streamers. This wasn't standard treatment. Not even A-level contracts received this kind of support.
It could only mean one thing—Grace had landed the legendary S-level partnership.
Alice's shock deepened. She could hardly believe what she was seeing. Her own deal was only B-level. Even Agela, who was already blowing up, had secured only an A-level.
And yet Grace, who had just arrived, walked straight in and signed for an S-level.
