nThis man had always been so high-handed.

nHe would always do whatever he wanted, showing little regard for the feelings of others.

nSavannah was suddenly annoyed by his confident manner.

nJust then, the hall was filled with soft music. The lights dimmed, and many guests began to step into the dance floor.

nShe grabbed Chris by the arm, heading for the dance floor.

nChris, a little surprised, didn't refuse her. His left arm hooked her around the waist, and his right hand on her shoulder. They began to dance to the romantic music.

nDylan watched the man and the woman dancing on the dance floor, his eyes burning with some unfathomable emotion.

nThe dim light fell on his face, the antagonism in his eyes increased imperceptibly.

nFinally, the music died.

nChris was about to go down with Savannah when Dylan ambled toward them.

n

"Mr. Sterling.

" Chris greeted him gently.

n

"May I borrow your partner?

" Dylan asked Chris, and his lips quirked up in a half-smile.

nSavannah held on to Chris, hoping that he could refuse.

nHowever, Chris had no reason to say no. Savannah was Dylan's employee, it seemed nothing for her to dance with her boss.

nTurning to look at Savannah, Chris said with a smile,

"Mr. Sterling came alone today. Would you like to dance with him?

"

nSavannah wanted to shake her head but afraid that the man would do something sores in public if she said no.

n

"Looks like Miss Schultz agreed,

" Dylan said as he took Savannah's arm, pulling her to his side, and walked into the dance floor.

nBefore Savannah could react, he draped his arms around her waist and moved slowly under the dim light and the soft waltz.

nShe could feel him grip her waist so tightly that there was no room for her to move.

n

"Dylan, what are you trying to do?

" She whispered.

n

"I should have asked you that.

" He squeezed his hand, pulling her tightly against him. His tone was full of jealousy and dissatisfaction.

"Are you allowed to participate in the celebration dinner with a male star? Are you allowed to dance with him and be so intimate?

"

nHe had comforted himself that she had just lost her child and was still angry with him. So, he tried to understand her bad mood and let off her coldness.

nBut he could hardly control himself when he saw her and another man holding hands and smiling in the crowd.

nOnly then did he know that his indulgence was too much.

nIt was unbearable to watch her go out with another man, even if they had just a working relationship.

n

"It has nothing to do with you. Don't forget, we've divorced.

" Savannah gritted her teeth as she avoided the deliberate body contact and touching from his hot fingers.

n

"I'm your boss, too.

" He was annoyed.

n

"I want to go, okay?

" Savannah tried to free herself.

n

"You have no choice,

" he said sardonically,

"after the dance.

"

n

"Dylan, please don't go too far --

" before Savannah had finished her words, he turned around with her and changed steps smoothly and expertly, whispering in her ear in a low, evil voice,

"Be good, baby. I won't let you go after you dance well with me.

"

nShe clenched her teeth, knowing that he meant what he said, and not daring to struggle again. But she could pretend to be awkward and stepped on him a few times to vent her anger.

nAs expected, he didn't give up the opportunity to take advantage of her during the piece of music, including touching her buttocks several times.

nFinally, the song ended, and the lights came on.

nSavannah blushed and pushed him away. She left through the side door without even saying goodbye to Chris.

n***

nAfter that day, everything was as usual.

nThe man didn't come to harass her again.

nSavannah returned to the company and devoted herself to her job.

nActing was fun, but she was a designer. She preferred costume design to acting, and she never thought of entering showbiz.

nFashion design was the career she wanted to work all her life for.

nSo, when she was invited to variety shows after the role of Angelina became a hit, she didn't hesitate to say no.

nShe didn't plan to act again even if Dylan didn't announce it publicly.

nBut Dylan's bossiness that night brought the disobedient psychology out of her.

nWhy did he have to decide her life?

nWhy did he always start when he wanted and stop when he wanted to stop?

nThis day, she received a call that invited her to participate in a reality show.

nThe reality show was organized by a popular streaming video site and aired every week. It invited popular stars or celebrities to challenge themselves in some games.

nThe role of Angelina in Fashion Queen had popularity among the audience these days, and that was why Savannah was invited.

nShe was about to refuse as usual when the man's face came to her mind.

nSavannah swallowed the refusal and agreed.

nShe almost laughed out at the thought of the man's angry face with his nose out of joint.

nThe production team immediately set up a time and place for her.

nThe night after she made an appointment with the reality show, she got a phone call from Dylan, not surprisingly.

n

"You forgot what I said?

" The man's voice on the other end of the line was as gloomy as his face.

nHe knew she was going to take part in the reality show.

n

"You just said I'm not going to act anymore. It's not acting. It's a variety show.

" She snorted.

n

"That won't do. Let me make it clear—you are not allowed to appear on camera after Fashion Queen. If you want to be famous or be praised, I can make you enjoy it in other ways!

" Dylan said sullenly.

nHe knew her character, and he believed she was a good girl. But showbiz was too complicated for her. She was young and vulnerable to temptation.

n

"I'm sorry, but I've already promised the reality show and signed the contract.

" She's not trying to win popularity. She was just trying to anger him.

n

"Just break the contract. I don't mind paying breach of contract damages for you.

"
