Chapter 13 Do You Prefer Angie or Baby

Chapter 13 Do You Prefer Angie or Baby?

Putting him to sleep over the phone...

Suddenly, Angelina felt as if something was gripping her heart.

She stared blankly at the message and thought of his voice as he rocked her to sleep one night.

Keith's voice sounded as if he was the person with absolute control, yet he deliberately lowered his posture to soothe her.

That night, he went to a social event and sent her a live photo of a bustling banquet scene.

The composition of the photo was beautiful, and the reflection of the dazzling lights on the table was vaguely visible, creating a great atmosphere.

But Angelina's focus was on his drink on the table. During their voice call that night, she unconsciously asked, "Your drink in front of you looks good. What did you order?"

Keith replied in a hoarse voice, "Long Island Iced Tea..."

This cocktail had a sweet and sour taste, with a strong aftertaste that made it easy to get drunk.

Angelina was a bit slippery and her voice became lazy, "Long Island Iced Tea? I've had this cocktail before. But why do I get the feeling that the one in front of you looks better than the one I had before?"

Listening to her soft, sweet voice on the phone, Keith had a deep look in his eyes. "I'll bring you to taste mine when we get a chance."

Angelina thought he was just being polite, and she chuckled and replied, "Sure."

Keith deliberately went to a quiet lounge to talk to Angelina.

Angelina felt that Might Keith was a little different tonight, maybe because of the alcohol.

He was not drunk, but she guessed he had probably had a lot to drink. That's why he didn't sound as restrained as usual.

Next, it was as if he was weaving a big net and slowly luring Angelina in, and when the time was right, he would catch this girl and hold her in his arms.

His voice was deep, hoarse and lazy, even though his breathing was very attractive and sexy.

"Do you like gentle voices or domineering voices?"

"Do you like me to call you Angie or..."

He paused for a moment and asked in a low, seductive voice, "Baby?"

That night Angelina lost sleep because he called her "baby" in such a sexy way.

She could feel her heart beating faster and faster and she couldn't control herself...

How could he have such a sexy voice!

Angelina felt like she was in a furnace, her cheeks burning, and she couldn't help but be captivated by his charming voice.

Even now, when she remembered his voice when he called her "baby", she still blushed and felt her heart secretly racing.

Her only regret was that she hadn't recorded their conversation, so she couldn't listen to it again.

Mighty Keith had only called her "baby" once.

And he was a little drunk at the time.

The intended loving call was an unexpected slip.

It had been too long since she had last responded, and her phone had automatically locked. The reminder on the screen showed that the message was from Mighty Keith.

After unlocking her phone, she saw the message from Mighty Keith.

You said you weren't feeling well last night. Are you feeling better now?

Angelina texted back, "Yes."

"Take care of yourself. You can contact me anytime, I'm always here." Another message from Might Keith.

Angelina tapped her fingertips on the screen and sent the message. She felt nervous even when she breathed.

Keith was on his way back to the office and regretted if his request was too sudden and scared her.

So he changed the subject to calm her down.

However, to his surprise, Angelina did not avoid his request and answered directly.

Angelina,"Might Keith, by 'Yes', I am answering your request."

She sent Keith a screenshot of their previous conversation in which he asked her to put him to sleep over the phone tonight.

She agreed.

Keith clenched his phone and licked the back of his teeth with a smile on his lips.

What should he do?

He was falling for her.

Now he began to regret that he had made this request too soon. Lunch was a few hours later, while he was already anticipating what would happen tonight.

Angelina was also nervous. After sending the message, she covered herself with her blanket to catch her breath.

Well, if anyone needed to know how big an impact a sexy voice would have on a person who happened to be in it, Angelina would say that she still savored the sound of his voice the only time he called her "baby".

"Oh!! I'm so captivated by his voice!!!"

"Stop whining! Let me ask you, did you know that everyone from last night's dinner was caught by the police except you?"

Hearing Janet's question from outside her blanket, Angelina was a bit stunned, "What?"

Except for her, all the people who attended the dinner last night were investors. Usually, not many people dared to offend them.

Then Janet said, "I just heard the news. They have all been arrested by the police. Angie, could it be that someone with super important status has fallen in love with you?"

Angelina replied uncertainly, "Well... I don't think so..."

Angelina was born in the Jansberg City. She didn't know the big shots or the prestigious families in the capital, so she didn't know how much her fiancé could do.

That was the reason why she didn't know Ishmael and realized that she had mistaken Keith for Ishmael, even though the Jefferson family had made a marriage deal with the Fuller family for many years.

Janet sighed a little and said, "Well, all the investors in this series of Director Gates are caught up. I wonder if this series could be shot as planned. And I'm not sure if you could still have the third female lead."

"I know you don't like this kind of social engagement, but you should know that this is how this industry works. Appearances and good acting are not as important as a strong sponsor. You know what I mean?"

Angelina handed Janet the croissant she hadn't eaten and replied, "Janet, I get it, I'll try my best at the audition."

Since Angelina had been treated unfairly and injured, Janet, as her agent, didn't want to be too hard on her and just soothed her, "Take your time. I hope you get well soon."

In the afternoon, Angelina was released from the hospital. She wasn't seriously injured and felt more comfortable staying in her own apartment.

...

"Mr. Fuller, Miss Jefferson was discharged from the hospital this afternoon and arrived safely at her residence."

"Director Gates called to confirm the amount of our investment and also mentioned that he would accept auditions for actors, but no predetermined lead roles. He wants those requirements added to our investment contract."

"I guess Mr. Chanderson and the other investors made up a story to take advantage of the actresses."

Even when the truth was revealed, the actresses wouldn't speak out because they didn't want to ruin their careers.

Keith looked at the contract and the script for The Old Palace. After a while, he said, "The investment amount remains the same. Also, let Director Gates know that Angelina should audition for this role.

Keith casually circled a name on the script with his pen and handed it to Niles.

Niles looked at it and realized what Keith meant, then smiled and said, "OK, Mr. Fuller."

Although Keith, the leader of the Fuller Group, had recently returned to his country, he had already dealt with many of the Fuller Group's problems in a forceful and tough manner.

Delaying meetings and working late into the night were part of Keith's routine.

But Niles had a feeling that tonight would be different.

At the weekly report meeting of each department, someone had made the mistake of presenting the wrong amount on the slides, but surprisingly, Mr. Fuller didn't just tell the person to pack up and leave.

Not only that, but the head of the project department took the opportunity to present the plan for a new project that had been revised more than a dozen times, and Keith just took one look at it and adopted his plan.

Everyone in the project department was literally in tears!

Their project had finally passed!

Two-thirds of the way through the meeting, Keith asked Niles to turn off the projector.

Everyone in the room broke into a cold sweat, thinking they were going to be blamed. But to their surprise, Mr. Fuller said, "Let's call it a day. Everybody go home."

Everyone was confused.

Later, a heated discussion began in the chat group among the Fuller Group employees.

Andrew-HRD, "Has someone cast a spell on Mr. Fuller?"

Berney-PRD, "Mr. Fuller seems to be in a particularly good mood today? People are always in a good mood when they are in love. Could it be that he has met his future Mrs. Fuller?"

Cassisy-SecretaryDepartment, "Mr. Lynn, do you have any inside information? Share what you know! Gossiping together makes us happy! @AssistantNilesLynn"

DaisyMiller-SecretaryDepartment, "Assistant Lynn, don't pretend you didn't see our message! I know you're secretly spying on our chat at home! Say something! @AssistantNilesLynn"

Eveline Jones-PRD, "How can you bother Mr. Lynn like this? We should be considerate of him. How can you keep referring to AssistantNilesLynn? It is rude. @AssistantNilesLynnx Do you think I'm right?"

Of course, Niles saw the messages in the chat group that kept mentioning him, but he dared not speak. After all, Miss Jefferson had a special status, and he didn't know if Mr. Fuller would make their relationship public in the future.

Oh, by the way, it seemed that Mr. Fuller hadn't caught on to Miss Jefferson yet?

Niles silently reminded himself that he could not say out loud what he had just thought. Never! Mr. Fuller might kill him!

...

Ever since he had seen the message from Angelina, Keith had been looking forward to it. He didn't feel the slightest urge to work today, and for once he came home from work on time.

He waited for her call to put him to bed.
