Ellen was disgusted by her ex-boyfriend's increasingly excessive behavior. She immediately clenched her fists tightly, wanting to slap him again. However, all she could do now was remain silent rather than have the paparazzi report her for direct, unprovoked assault. She had been wanting to vomit, seeing the couple openly kissing in bikinis, as if they were filming a sex scene in a drama. What made her even more disgusted was the crew's complete support for the disgusting couple.
When it came to kissing, she never felt disgusted by Harley. However, she didn't want Harley to kiss another woman on the lips as if she were kissing him. Therefore, she deliberately postponed the kiss until their wedding day. However, that was impossible because they had already broken up.
Even though she was extremely upset with her ex-boyfriend, she tried to hide it with a big smile. Because if she got angry easily, Harley would have succeeded in his evil mission of making her sad.
"I feel disgusted? You're wrong, Harley. I've never felt disgusted by you." She grabbed her ex's tie for a moment, then deliberately tugged a little roughly. "In fact, I don't want you kissing another woman while imagining kissing me. That's why I don't want us to kiss until we're married."
Harley laughed in annoyance, moving his lips from side to side. "You always argue with me with all sorts of ridiculous excuses."
"I've been honest with you, and I've told you that many times. You're the one who always doesn't understand." She loosened his tie and sipped her coffee calmly. "I'm actually grateful that we haven't had the chance to kiss. That's why my lips are still pure until a man is willing to love me sincerely."
"Is it true that there are still men interested in you? Do you still hope so?"
"Of course. Am I only interested in you? You're just trash in my eyes, Harley."
"What are you saying?!"
"I've told Lauren this before. I know you've been filming romantic dramas together. You've had to do a lot of passionate kissing and sex scenes. I should have realized from the start that it's impossible for you not to fall in love with each other after doing it so often." She snapped her fingers. "That's true. Maybe you weren't satisfied with having sex with Lauren during filming, so you ended up asking her to sleep with you in hotels."
"On what basis do you dare to assume that of me?"
"Mrs Sora told me that you actually have a lot of free time. So, I started to assume that maybe every night you always have sex with Lauren while I wait for your call?" She felt her ex-boyfriend's broad shoulder slowly while her lips moved closer to his ear. "I won't stop you from doing it. But, what will everyone think if Lauren gets pregnant out of wedlock because of your selfishness?"
The corners of his lips lifted confidently. "You don't need to interfere in our affairs."
"This is my advice as your ex-girlfriend so your acting career doesn't end up like mine." She stood up from the chair, carrying her sling bag. "I think I've had enough of chatting with you. I'll be going now. Don't contact me again."
"You really are quite shameless, Ellen. Even in a situation like this, you still don't feel guilty."
"Why should I feel guilty when you were the one who cheated on me first."
"Actually, Lauren and I have been dating for a long time. You were the one who kept approaching me until I was always tempted by you."
Both of her hands were clenched tightly. "You bastard!"
"Lauren and I are getting married in a month. Thank you for advising me to control myself before Lauren gets pregnant out of wedlock. I'll send you our wedding invitations."
Ellen's reaction was a smile, her arms folded. "I didn't want to be late in saying it to you. Congratulations on your wedding. I hope you don't cheat on Lauren."
"Thank you, Ellen. You sounded very sincere earlier. Have you finally moved on from me?"
"Of course. Thanks for showing me that video. It makes me even more determined to get away from you."
"Even though I've already received your congratulations, I still want you to attend our wedding. Don't shy away like a coward!"

Flint now invited the entire narrative designer team to join him for a meeting. Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces made the situation even more tense. He'd always hated meetings when they felt overly cheerful. However, this time, he didn't want to discuss the ongoing game project first. So, he deliberately smiled faintly to calm the narrative designer team down.
"By the way, am I interrupting your work now?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Flint looked at all the team members with focus. "I'm planning on hiring a narrative designer team leader."
"What?! Suddenly like this?"
Even Alfonso, hearing this crazy idea, felt his jaw tighten. "Did I hear you right, Flint? Didn't you always say you didn't want to recruit anymore people?"
A wide smile spread across his handsome face. "If there are only three narrative designer, I think something's missing."
"But, haven't you been the team leader all this time?" asked an innocent woman wearing glasses.
"I'll probably be pretty busy helping out with my parents' company if they force me to return to their corporate group. That's why I need someone who can help me write the story for this game."
"Who are they? Aren't we the only three who really know this game, Flint?" asked a tall man.
"If that person agrees to join the team, you guys are going to love it." He looked back at Alfonso, who was busy taking notes on his tablet. "Speaking of which, what about marketing? Should we change the main model as well?"
Alfonso swallowed nervously at the CEO's crazy idea. He had a bad feeling that this sudden hiring would only worsen the already heated social media situation.
"Flint, don't tell me you…"
