Then Judy, who had been serving the food, spoke up abruptly. “Mr. Lewis doesn’t have much of a sweet tooth.”

Ciara smiled dryly, “Oh, my bad.”

As she was about to take the jam back, Adrian’s left hand reached for it. His sleeve slid up a couple of inches.

Ciara stared down at his wrist with bated breath. It was wrapped in gauze.

“Oh god, what happened to your wrist?” she exclaimed.

“It was my fault. I knocked over a bowl of porridge last night and scalded him,” Judy explained, a guilty look on her face. She turned and picked up a first aid kit. “That reminds me, it’s time to change your bandage, sir. Mrs. Lewis, would you mind giving me a hand?”

Adrian said nothing. His injured hand remained on the table as if accepting Judy’s suggestion.

Ciara didn’t object. She gently unwrapped the bandage. Her brow furrowed as she saw the state of his wrist, red and swollen.

She couldn’t imagine how painful that must be, but he didn’t even blink.

“Does it hurt?” she asked, concerned, as she applied ointment with a cotton swab.

“No,” he replied bluntly and stared at her.

Something flashed across his eyes as he watched the woman treating his wound with care and patience.

Ciara paused and looked up. “Really? I don’t believe that.”

Adrian looked away for a moment. “You got me. It does hurt.” For some reason, he felt compelled to tell her the truth.

There was a triumphant gleam in Ciara’s eyes. “I knew it! Just sheer bravado.”

With his other hand, he picked up his cup and took a sip. He was trying his best to conceal his embarrassment.

This cold attitude of his was not new to Ciara. She continued redressing his wound. “If it hurts, just tell me. You’ll feel better about it. And I promise I won’t mock you. The wound will take around ten days to heal. In the meantime, don’t eat any soy sauce. That should prevent scarring…

The breakfast time passed as Ciara chattered on. For the first time, Adrian patiently listened to everything she had to say.

Once his wound was dressed, he went out.

Ciara watered the flowers in the garden. Just before noon, she finally replied to Lynch’s message. She told him to meet her at eight o’clock that evening, giving him a hotel name and a room number.

She guessed that Lynch must have looked up the name she told him the night before and discovered Flora was a new talent of SJ Entertainment.

The company was backing Flora completely although she was a new talent. It was easy to tell that she had connections with people in high places.

At this point, Lynch must have figured that Flora was either rich or powerful. Possibly both.

So Ciara had to strike while the iron was hot. She had to get what she wanted before Lynch got suspicious.

Just a few minutes after she sent the message, her phone rang. It was Lynch.

Ciara fixed her posture, cleared her throat, and answered the call.

After a few seconds of silence, a deep voice came through the phone. “Miss Mitchell, I can’t believe your arrogance. You waited twelve hours to reply to me.”

Ciara grinned to herself at the sound of Lynch’s voice. Mimicking Flora’s tone, she said, “Did you like my reply?”

“Well I have to say, if it were any other woman, 1 would have told her to get lost. But I just didn’t have the heart to do that to you. I guess there’s something special about you. I’ve really fallen for you.” The sexual subtext of his words was obvious.

Managing to suppress her disgust, Ciara said, “You talk the talk. I hope you can live up to it tonight.”

“Prepare yourself for the best night of your life,” he said, before adding, “But I pick the place.”

Ciara frowned at this. “Don’t you trust me?”

“Of course I do, don’t get me wrong I’ve just been in the industry for a long time and I have my ways of getting rid of the paparazzi. Don’t worry, Miss Mitchell, I’ll send you the address later.” Lynch delivered this in a gentle but firm tone.

Ciara cursed silently. He was more vigilant than she had expected. But she had no choice but to accept his condition. “Okay, I’ll see you later.”

The two talked for a little longer before hanging up.

That evening, just as Ciara was about to leave, having changed outfits, Judy approached her, holding a finely detailed box. “Ma’am, a package came for you.”

Ciara took it, surprised. There were only a few people who knew where she lived, and very few of them would be likely to send her a package.

Who could it be from?

Curious, she opened it. Inside was the very necklace that she had worn on the runway the night before.

There was a small card inside too, lines of Lord Byron’s poem written on it.

“She walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies. And all that’s best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes…

The note was signed with the letter H.

Was this praising Ciara’s beauty?

The necklace paired with the note made the gift feel intimate.

She felt her heart skip a beat as she read it. After placing the lid on the box, she called Ivan.

He was quick to answer the phone. “Ciara, you’ll never guess how much they bid on the necklace. Thirty million dollars! Incredible! That’s all because of you!”

Ciara wasn’t sure how to feel about this. “Ivan, that’s the reason I’m calling. Could you tell me who the buyer is?”

He didn’t ask her why she wanted to know. “It was bought by an anonymous buyer.”

Ciara considered this for a moment, and then she told Ivan that the necklace had been sent to. her.

“Oh my God! That’s great. Congratulations!” Ivan was shocked. “I didn’t expect the necklace would make its way back to you, but I think with you is where it belongs.”

She sighed. “The problem is, I don’t know who sent it. It’s far too expensive. I could never accept such a gift.”

“Don’t worry. Maybe someone at the party liked it on you and thought you should have it. This kind of thing happens. That’s why so many stars love events like this. They would kill to gain favors with the big names who attend them,” Ivan said with a playful smile.

But Ciara didn’t consider herself to be lucky. Now she was married, and she didn’t want this kind of favor. She didn’t want to think about how Adrian would react once he found out.
