On the bustling street, a petite woman with a flash of dazzling, retro sunglasses and an exaggerated red lip, matched with a fiery red mini dress was angrily making a phone call.
"Hello, hello, what exactly is your PR department for? Are the people you're supposed to prepare ready yet?"
Her sweet voice contained a hint of impatience, her brows bringing forth an indescribable displeasure.
"Miss Mu, I am really sorry, the high-ranking 'public relations representative' you requested is still accompanying another guest. As you may know, our company's 'representatives' have always been the most robust and handsome. And the guests..."
Before the other party could finish their self-praising chatter, Mu Xiaoxiao's temper had flared up.
After all, she had made a reservation a month in advance! If it hadn't been for the need to find someone to dispose of a colleague who had been harassing her for two years, would she need to rent such an expensive escort?
You have to realize, she was already a mom of a 5-year-old! Damn it! If it wasn't for the fear of committing murder, she would have beaten him dead and sent him off to meet the King of Hell!
You have to understand how troubling it is to deal with a suitor who keeps pursuing you even after you've broken several of his ribs!
Taking a deep breath, Mu Xiaoxiao almost shrieked, "I don't care how high-end your escort gentleman is, I need him now! Where is he? Tell me!"
"Um... well..." The person on the other end of the call seemed to hesitate, but dared not offend the client. After pondering for a few seconds, he hesitantly said, "He is currently at the Kuman Hotel, dressed in Armani's most recent black suit. Most importantly, he's very handsome!"
Nonsense! If he's not handsome at that price, wouldn't I be at a loss?
Rolling her eyes, Mu Xiaoxiao's tone improved slightly, "Alright, I understand. We will connect later." After saying this, she hung up her phone and in a whirlwind of determination, she headed toward the Kuman Hotel in her high heels.
It seems that it's not about who arrives first, but who arrives at the right time.
Her meeting place with that stupidly rich guy was also at the Kuman Hotel. Hmph, getting there early to find the escort, wouldn't the rest be a piece of cake?
However…
"Darn it! Who the hell decided that one must wear a suit for a banquet?"
The decorations were elegant and radiant, coupled with top-notch furnishings and adornments collected from all around the world, it was as grand as a palace. This was quite an eye-opening experience for Mu Xiaoxiao. However, how is she supposed to find the esteemed gentleman now?
Mu Xiaoxiao furrowed her brows, about to dial a certain upscale company on her phone, only to discover a new text message.
"Dear Miss Mu, wish you a pleasant time. The number of your dear Hani is XXXXXXXXXX. We provide the most considerate and premium service. Looking forward to your visit next time!"
A smirk crept upon Mu Xiaoxiao's face, feeling as if she was the one being flirted with this time...
Shaking her head, she decided not to think too much about it. She dialed the number, but...
Why was the line busy? Are male escorts really that in demand these days?
Scanning her surroundings, Mu Xiaoxiao's gaze landed on an attractive man in the corner constantly checking his phone with a furrowed brow. He occasionally looked around, as if he was waiting for someone.
It must be him!
Without a second thought, Mu Xiaoxiao strode towards him, "Hey hey, I'm right here." She waved at the man, motioning for him to look her way.
The man was evidently taken aback, quickly regaining his composure. He pocketed his phone, fixed his gaze on Mu Xiaoxiao with a hint of confusion and multiple emotions flitting across his eyes.
As for what it meant, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't have time to ponder. After all, this gentleman was worth every cent.
His flawless handsome face, deep captivating eyes filled with unspeakable loneliness. His glasses rested on the bridge of his nose, adding to his scholarly charm.
A true melancholic beauty, even Mu Xiaoxiao felt a stab at her heart. Thankfully, she was still able to clear her head. This was the man she hired for the day; falling for him would only complicate things with her little devil.
The usually mentally-strong Mu Xiaoxiao quickly regained her composure, "OK, I presume your boss has already informed you of what to do. Pretend to be my intimate husband for a while and help drive that man away. The rest of the money will be transferred directly to your card."
The man's eyes gradually narrowed, he took a step towards Mu Xiaoxiao, wrapped an arm around her slender waist and planted a kiss on her lips.
The unsuspecting Mu Xiaoxiao was taken aback. How dare he forcefully kiss her in such a public place? What a joke!
"Mo Qingliang." The man's face remained stoic as he released Mu Xiaoxiao from his hold.
"Huh?" Mo Qingliang? His name? Mu Xiaoxiao blinked her astonished eyes, took a deep breath and let it go. The earlier incident was just a rehearsal, after all. If she gave him a beating now and scared him away, who would be there to support her later?
