Winning My Ex-Crush

Fenella’s POV

I danced on stage, did a body shot with Mike, and ended up showering under the spray wearing a mini dress designed by Oscar. I did it all to fulfill the contract with Oscar de Ragetti. Now, I have become a brand ambassador for Oscar’s club and have been shooting commercials for his club.

“Exactly at 8 p. m. Thank goodness the shoot went smoothly without any issues. We can go straight home,” Jessy said as he walked beside me.

“Yes, I’m exhausted. It seems like my energy has been drained over these 6 hours,” I said as I got into Jessy’s car.

“Really? In that case, I’ll just drop you off at your apartment, okay?” Jessy chuckled.

“In that case, I’ll just take a taxi myself,” I challenged him.

Jessy and Mike laughed at my antics. They both sat in the front seats, while I, just hitching a ride, had to sit in the back seat.

“Very funny.” I pretended to be annoyed with them.

They teased me like that on purpose because I asked to be taken to Laird’s apartment. We intended to discuss the extension of my contract with Gene as the main model.

Well, I couldn’t deny that I was also looking forward to having sex with him. Maybe after the formal discussions were over, we could have some fun, as I hoped.

“You’re the funny one. You said your energy was drained, but you still want to meet Laird,” Jessy retorted. He seemed not to accept my complaint.

“Come on, sweetie, don’t tease her anymore. Maybe for Fenella, Laird’s apartment is a place to relieve stress,” Mike said with a crooked smile.

“Oh, I’m sure Fenella will ask for a massage from Laird. I want one too, but I’m sure you’re tired too, dear. Do you want me to massage you later?” Jessy asked, one hand stroking Mike’s thigh while the other hand held the steering wheel.

“I’m still strong enough to massage you.” Mike leaned over to whisper softly in Jessy’s ear.

“Hello, there are other people in this car.” I called out to remind them.

Once again, they just giggled at my protest. Truly, I never expected to be drunk in love together with Jessy at the same time.

His relationship with Mike was getting closer. I was in the same infatuation stage as Jessy, but it seemed Laird was not the type of guy who liked to show affection in front of others.

Sometimes I envied Jessy. He could display affection for Mike in front of others casually. Quite different from Laird, who behaved coldly and seemed to avoid me in public. Although there was a hint of anxiety in my heart, I tried to trust Laird.

“We’ve arrived,” Jessy interrupted my thoughts along the journey.

“Thank you for dropping me off,” I said as I opened the car door.

“Fenella, if possible, ask Laird to send his contract to the office tomorrow.” Jessy’s voice sounded before I closed his car door.

“Yes, don’t worry,” I nodded.

I waved to Jessy as he quickly drove away. Then, I walked to Laird’s apartment and sent a short message.

‘I’ve arrived.’

In less than five minutes, Laird’s apartment door opened, and the man appeared to welcome me. He immediately flashed a wide smile and kissed my right cheek.

“Hey, baby. Come in,” he invited.

“Hey, handsome,” I praised as I saw him in a white shirt without a tie, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Wow, he looked really sexy.

I followed him and walked into the private elevator. Several times, my gaze fell on the low-opened buttons of his shirt, revealing a glimpse of his sturdy chest.

“Did you buy Chinese food?” I asked him to distract my thoughts.

Earlier on the phone, Laird had said he would buy delicious food for us for dinner. He promised that the food he ordered wouldn’t make me gain weight. Combined with all his charming words, I just agreed. I mean, no man had ever seriously thought about my food menu before.

“Of course. You’ll love it,” he said confidently.

Indeed. When I arrived at Laird’s apartment, he immediately led me to the dining table. On it, several Chinese dishes were served. Roast duck, boiled vegetables, stir-fried pork with soy sauce, and boiled vegetable dumplings.

“Wow, this is still warm!” I exclaimed in amazement as I held a serving plate.

“Of course. I just bought it after you said the shoot was over,” Laird boasted again.

“You really paid attention to my request,” I said, blushing.

“Of course. Let’s eat right away. Don’t hold back because I already bought this,” Laird pointed to a small green box.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“What is this?” I asked, confused.

“Traditional Chinese green tea. They said it can aid your digestion,” he shrugged.

“Whenever you feel like you’ve eaten too much, you can detox right away with this tea. I heard it’s very effective and popular among women.” Laird handed me the tea box.

My mouth hung open in amazement. Once again, I was impressed by how much Laird paid attention to me. Oh my, that’s the tea I usually drink!

Okay, I take back what I said about being envious of Jessy. I am so grateful and lucky to have found a man like Laird who gives me so much attention and gifts. I don’t need public displays of affection if my boyfriend already pays attention to me this much.

“Aren’t you very attentive to me?” I asked in wonder.

I hugged Laird and gave him a brief kiss on the lips. Even though it was brief, the kiss was like a spark that immediately ignited our mutual desire. Especially Laird, who became more aggressive in kissing my lips and tongue.

“Enough.” Laird suddenly backed off and pulled away.

“We should eat first, and after that, we still need to talk about your work,” he muttered.

“Why?” I asked to express a bit of disappointment at losing Laird’s lips on mine.

“Because I won’t be able to control myself if this goes any further,” Laird said softly as he turned around to pick up the plates.

Even though Laird had warned me earlier, I hugged him from behind. My arms wrapped around his waist as I deeply breathed in the scent of his shirt. Truly, I couldn’t control myself. How much I loved him from childhood until now.

“Let go, Fenella. I don’t want you to complain if the food gets cold later,” he said as one of his hands stroked mine that was tightly wrapped around his waist.

“Your words don’t match your actions right now,” I said softly. “Truly, I love you so much, Laird.”

He then turned around again, his hand caressing my cheek. He looked at me with his emerald eyes sparkling. The next moment, his lips greedily met mine. His lips and tongue didn’t even give me room to breathe properly.
