His love

After speaking. Janet shot a flirtatious glance at lan, who finally met her gaze. Generally known for her strict and direct manner, Janet now gazed down bashfully like a teenage girl. 

“Mr. Nightingale,” she murmured. 

lan fought back the nausea and responded calmly, “What now? If we’re not going with Willow as the brand ambassador, are you suggesting yourself instead?” 

Janet looked at lan, pleasantly surprised. Everything she had done that day was to gain favor with Wilhelmina and Skyler. She never expected such an opportunity to arise. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Yet, she couldn’t express her desire to become the brand ambassador for Arena of Glory outright. 

Instead, she responded shyly, “Mr. Nightingale, you’re making me blush.” 

lan’s expression darkened. He might have already retched if he hadn’t possessed such remarkable self- control. 

Janet seemed oblivious to his feelings of disgust. She batted her eyelashes at him, her expression brimming with flirtatious charm. 

“If I could earn your favor, Mr. Nightingale, I assure you won’t regret it.” 

lan didn’t respond immediately. Instead, his gaze slowly drifted down to her feet. 

The hall had thick carpets lining its floor. Everyone had gone barefoot earlier for the audition, leaving their shoes in the wardrobe. Thus, Janet remained barefoot even after the audition was over. 

Janet’s excitement surged when she noticed lan’s gaze on her feet, and her cheeks flushed an even deeper shade of red. She subtly shifted her feet, hoping to seduce lan with her body language. She thought his unwavering gaze was a sign of him being captivated by her looks. 

Just as Janet considered feigning a stumble to create an intimate moment and capture his interest 

further, lan’s ruthless and mocking voice reached her. 

“A brand ambassador of Arena of Glory should flaunt bare feet, not ones resembling smoked pig trotters!” 

Smoked pig trotters? Janet glanced down at her feet, her face flushing with embarrassment. She 

wondered when her feet resembled, “smoked pig trotters“. She admitted that they were slightly tanned, 

but she felt the comparison seemed harsh. 

Yet, Janet didn’t dare to speak her thoughts aloud. She endured the mocking laughter of the other celebrities and returned to her seat awkwardly.

Meanwhile, Wilhelmina mentally berated Janet for her foolishness. She realized she couldn’t rely on Janet to bring Willow down anymore and would have to take matters into her own hands. 

Wilhelmina rose gracefully and addressed lan, “Mr. Nightingale, please don’t get the wrong idea. Willow is a good person. I’m sure she didn’t take my emerald bracelet intentionally. I trust her, so please don’t disqualify her as the brand ambassador! 

“As for the rumors about Willow being a sugar baby, I’m sure she has her reasons. She truly is a good person at heart.” 

Unable to endure Wilhelmina’s performance any longer, Willow looked at her and questioned, ” Wilhelmina, do you actually enjoy setting me up like this?”
