Planned infidelity. Wedding business. Fake couple. The topic of everyone's conversation on the Selena-Felix-Agatha-Ocean scandal became conical on those things. After photos of Selena and Felix were scattered to the media, showing how intense the interaction of the two when out of the apartment, this hot situation like being sprayed with gasoline, was getting smoldering.
It can be ascertained that the photo was the result of shots when Selena stayed at Felix's apartment after a fight with Ocean some time ago. Ocean also paid a heavy price for the editor-in-chief to shut up and delete the photo. The fox is still a fox. They take advantage of the slightest opportunity, raking in as much profit as possible. For the dancers on the wound, the suffering and life of a person is not something that is so meaningful. As long as their news became the main consumption of the public, standing one step ahead of other media, they would do anything, including something disgusting though.
Counting six times in the last minute, Selena let out a heavy sigh. There was a lot of fear surrounding his mind. About her career, about Felix, about her family, and.
All this time, the name Ocean has always been clean, as well as the name La Sky Land. He built a reputation. His name was always there when the success of La Sky Land was talked about, becoming a brilliant leader who had carved out the success of his company at the highest point since its founding. Given the scandalous news, it's possible that everyone's view of Ocean will no longer be the same, his hard work may be tarnished. Had it not been since the beginning Ocean had married her ....
“I told you I'd fix everything. Don't think of anything.” Ocean handed the medicine and water to Selena, as if he could read her thoughts at this moment. “I've contacted the CEO of your company, discussed the best way out on this issue. I promise, the situation now is the worst, Selena, it won't get any worse. You just need to rest, don't think too hard.”
Staring fixedly at Ocean's face, Selena tried to keep the calm that radiated in those dark eyes. “How about you? Must be a fucked up company, right?”
“Not a big problem. As a hotel company, the current stock price decline cannot be compared to the current pandemic at the peak of its strength. I've had worse, Selena.”
Selena knew, Ocean's words were just to cheer her up. All the employees of La Sky Land must be in the cold heat right now. “Ocean ... You don't have to force yourself in this marriage.”
Both Ocean's brows furrowed faintly. “Why do you think so?”
Selena plays her fingers, down. “I don't want to dramatize this already chaotic situation, but if my position doesn't benefit you, you can always leave me, Ocean. Your relationship with Agatha was just a misunderstanding, but me and Felix ...” Selena suddenly felt a sharp tightness in her chest cavity, not ready to talk about Felix somehow being in his present state. “Again, I'm sure your feelings haven't been that deep.”
“Saving myself and my reputation, huh?” Ocean was acting like he was thinking seriously. “Not a bad idea, maybe I should consider it .... Why look at me like that?”
Selena's gaze on Ocean sharpens. “This is no time for jokes. I'm serious about what I said!”
Ocean had his first laugh today. “When we count the stars and you fall asleep, actually I just brought you into the villa at dawn, Selena. My hands have been cold for too long outside, to the point that I was afraid you would wake up when I brought you in.” Ocean's gaze suddenly softened. “You know what I did during that time?”
Rhetorical question. Selena was still waiting for Ocean to continue his words.
“I count stars. But since the problems in my life are not many, then I think of other feelings on every count.” Both corners of Ocean's lips were drawn upwards. “I put every moment with you on those stars, keep it there.”
Selena was stunned by every word Ocean spoke. The sound that usually sounded as deep as the trough, now like the pounding waves that chanted a charming melody. Selena could not take her eyes off. The worry and fear that had filled his head since then, suddenly disappeared just like that, replaced by Ocean and his pure gaze.
A hint of the thrilling feeling was still not enough, because while spelling a smile on his face, Ocean's next words were like throwing Selena into a wool net that stretched between steep cliffs. Dangerous, yet so warm and refreshing.
“I like you that much, Selena.”
...****...
“How about Agatha? You managed to contact his side?” Ocean's index finger pressed against his temple, his eyes busy exploring the news developments on his tablet screen.
Noah's reply across there made Ocean sigh heavily, rubbing his face.
The phone connection was cut off, along with Ocean massaging the base of his nose, his head feeling dizzy.
In solving his problem with Agatha, there was quite a serious problem. Ever since the scandal came to the surface, Agatha could not be contacted at all. It has not yet issued a statement on what happened in Boston. Agatha simply disappeared, as if swallowed by the earth. Whereas to explain misunderstandings to the public, if there is only one party's statement, the influence will not be too large.
The new Ocean will try once again to dial Agatha's number when her door is opened from the outside. Selena appeared afterwards.
For a moment, Ocean was stunned to see Selena's current appearance. Knee-length red dress, high heels are matching in color, and thick red lipstick that makes it look more mature than usual. Add her beautiful hair. There was no trace of gloom on Selena's face. He was like a completely different and foreign new figure.
Selena's wide steps, like walking on the catwalk, further erode the distance between them. Two meters away from the Ocean, Selena stopped. His gaze that was laden with toughness was as if he was holding a victory spear, presenting a faint twitch on the Ocean's forehead.
“Selena ..” Ocean called out to him quietly, suddenly feeling an odd tinge in his heart. “You're home .... Though you can be at your parents' house first until the situation subsides.”
A thin grin appeared on Selena's face. “Actually I want to, too, Ocean. But I can't wait to see your face.”
Ocean's heart was beating faster. No, it's definitely not Selena as he's known.
Selena took a step forward, so that the sound of her knocks broke the gap that was momentarily created. “I want to see the face of Ocean Arkananta screwed up like this. Ocean who didn't have much choice and couldn't laugh underestimates others.”
Ocean felt his body muscles tighten.
“Okay, you seem to be surprised, Ocean.” Selena laughed crisply, enjoying the look on Ocean's face. “Good, continue to show such a face to make me more satisfied to see it.”
Ocean's breath suddenly hunted.
“It's a shame that I have to stop here because of the uncontrollable situation. Though the show is exciting.” Selena clucked, displaying a disappointed look. “But it's okay, because it's also fun.” Once again Selena laughed a laugh that was like a goodbye song in Ocean's ear.
No. gabe. That's not her Selena ....
“The brilliant Arkananta Ocean can definitely instantly know what is happening right now. Retaliation .... Teeth are reciprocated by teeth, eyes are reciprocated by eyes. You must have heard that saying, right?” Selena smiled sweetly, blinking her eyes once. “I've sworn to avenge those past wounds, to put you in my place back then.”
Ocean's tongue is twisted. His head was filled with various consciousnesses that he wanted to tap far away. What kind of shit is this?
“How does it feel, Ocean? Don't you want to go to bed, begging that this is just a nightmare? Don't you want to open your eyes immediately from this nightmare so you can sigh in relief?” Selena's gaze and tone of voice sharpened, drawing the Ocean to its lowest point. “Disposed, toyed with his feelings .. must never mention such a thing in your mind. A perfect Ocean Arkananta would be treated like a king by everyone. But today, a failed actress like me who would do it ..”
Once again, Selena eroded her distance with Ocean. Staying half a meter they stood face to face, Selena advanced her body, whispering beside Ocean's ear, “Since college I've not only been famous crazy, I have another nickname.” The sneer came back up on Selena's lips. “The Devil Princess ... This demon will destroy your life without hesitation.”
