Midnight Bride The CEO’s Temptation

"It's not about money," Savannah frowned. "It's about personal integrity. What will they think of me if I flake out on them? Money cannot buy my credit back after it is ruined. Anyway, I'll go this time. If you're not satisfied, you can fire me."

Fire her?

That would allow her to be more free to do whatever she wanted if she was fired.

The little woman dared to threaten him!

Dylan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.

"Just this once," he whispered.

The reality show was going to be shot in an outdoor training base on Sunday.

That morning, Savannah went directly to the outskirts of LA.

The outdoor training base was used by large enterprises for staff development or group activities.

This time, it was leased by the production team of the reality show to record the program.

When Savannah arrived, she saw several stars who were regular members of the reality show.

A staff member gave Savannah a brief explanation of the procedure and the rules.

Each participation would draw lots to challenge the tasks, and you could choose to give up when you found it too hard.

At the beginning of the recording, Savannah and other artists drew lots under the leadership of the host to receive their challenging tasks.

The first few tasks were relatively simple, just jigsaw puzzles and so on, but the following tasks were much more difficult.

Rock climbing, diving…At last, Savannah was unlucky enough to get a high-altitude bungee jump.

Standing on the bungee platform, Savannah looked down carefully, feeling weak at the knees. She wanted to give up this task, but an assistant director came to the program group and said she could not quit.

"You agreed that we could give up the challenge if it's too difficult for us, didn't you?" Savannah stared wide-eyed at the director.

"Yeah, but the audience will feel bored if you just give up when it's a little difficult. For the audience rating, please, hold on!" The director said pleadingly.

Savannah sighed, braced herself, and wore the harnesses, walking to the bungee platform.

She tried to look down again, thinking it would be better but felt even dizzier. Her legs were weak with trembling.

The instructor saw her face pale with cold sweat, knowing she really had a fear of height.

"Miss, if you really can't do it, just give up." The instructor was afraid that the beautiful lady would faint in the air.

Savannah looked over her shoulder at the director, who made a begging gesture to her and then closed her eyes, turning to the instructor.

"All right, I'm ready." She set her teeth.

The director, relieved, immediately waved his hand, indicating the photographer to get ready to shoot in all directions.

The instructor checked the bungee outfitters and slowly led her toward the edge.

Blown by the strong wind, Savannah was forced to close her eyes. Her heart pumped hard. She took a breath, ready to jump, but the instructor unexpectedly pulled her back.

"What's the matter?" She was stunned.

"The director said they would arrange someone to bungee jump with you. It will make you less nervous and safer." The instructor explained.

A tandem bungee jump? Savannah looked back and saw a man approaching in a protective suit and facial mask.

Savannah couldn't see his face clearly. Should be a professional staff or instructor, she guessed.

A sudden sense of relief flowed from her heart through every limb. She had to say, it was much better to have someone to accompany her to complete the task.

The man turned her around to face out of the platform, hooked the protective ropes of their backs together, and then wrapped his arms around her waist.

Savannah moved uneasily. Though she knew this might be the standard posture of double bungee jumping, she still felt a little strange.

The man behind her felt her struggle. He tightened his hold on her, and his big hand even slipped to her belly, pressing her closer to his arms.

"Ah!" Savannah uttered a low cry.

But even if she didn't want to let the man jump with her, it was too late.

Before she reacted, the man jumped down with her from the platform, holding her tightly in his arms!

"Ahhh!" She screamed in fear as she struggled violently and accidentally kicked the man on the ankle! A deep and inarticulate sound escaped from the man's mouth, and it seemed that he was hurt by her heavy protective shoes.

But he just held her tighter in his arms so that she would not hurt herself.

Gradually her fear left her. She was aware that the professional staff would protect her well, and she began to feel excited.

It was an incredible feeling falling through the air at that speed! She began to enjoy the ride and screamed her head off!

After the jump, a staff member lifted them back up to the platform they jumped from.

Savannah breathed a sigh of relief when she could finally feel the ground under her feet. Looking around, she wanted to thank the man who jumped with her, only to find he had disappeared.

The next project was waiting for her, so she didn't think much and left the bungee platform.

***

Savannah spent a whole day in the reality show.

When she returned home in the evening, she was so tired that she lay down on the sofa as soon as she walked in the door.

At the same time—

Beverly Hills.

"Louis, how's daddy doing with mommy?"Kaiden asked his daily question.

He had been caring about the progress of his daddy and mommy ever since Garwood said daddy called off the engagement with auntie Rowe.

"Well, it seems to make no progress. Miss Schultz had a few meetings with Mr. Sterling, but she didn't really talk to him," said Louis.

Kaiden frowned. That wouldn't do. Daddy was moving too slowly.

"Where's daddy? He doesn't have to go to work on Sunday, does he?"

"Mr. Sterling went out early this morning. I don't know where he had gone." Louis said helplessly,

Kaiden picked up the phone and called Savannah.

A few seconds later, Savannah's voice came, "hello."

Kaiden, who was all animation just now, seemed to have wilted all of a sudden.

"Mommy," he said feebly.
