Unknowingly, Esther’s gaze began to drift—starting from Harvey’s broad chest, still glistening with moisture, down the lines of his firm abdomen. Her eyes stayed fixed, as if unable to look away. Droplets of water, falling slowly from the tips of his hair, traced the contours of his body, breaking the silence with the faintest of sounds.

Her awareness returned when Harvey lifted his head, looking at her with no expression. Esther’s heartbeat quickened, but she forced herself to avert her eyes. Yet that look made her realize—Harvey’s face, with its chiseled jaw and cold eyes, was just as captivating as his body.

From a distance, Jeane stood with her arms folded. A faint smile touched her lips, like a spectator who already knew how the story would end. “So, you like him too,” she murmured softly, as if savoring the moment.

Jeane eventually stopped walking. She chose not to follow Esther and Harvey, letting the two have their own time.

Esther drew a deep breath, her fingers brushing the

    The bespectacled man only glanced briefly, then shifted his sitting position unhurriedly - as if reluctant to waste energy."Are you talking to me?" his voice was calm, his flat tone seemingly untouched by provocation.Leo snorted, the corner of his lips curling into a mocking grin."Who else would I be talking to?" he said with a haughty chin lift. "You're the only strange-looking person in this place."He pointed right at the face of the man with glasses."Look at you. Who comes to an audition wearing sunglasses like that?" Leo clucked his tongue. "That'll only get you a minus. You must be a newbie-your first time auditioning, huh?"The bespectacled man nodded slowly. "That's right. This is my first time trying out."Leo looked at him from the corner of his eye, then looked away with a long sigh - clearly dissatisfied. The man's appearance was too striking for him. “Sunglasses at an idol audition? It really didn't make sense.”“Someone like this wants to be an idol? Impossible... he

    Harvey stepped quietly into the penthouse area. His shoes clash softly with the shiny marble floor, leaving a cold and authoritative footprint. He planned to change clothes and prepare to meet his men again to organize his next move.As soon as the door to the room opened, Harvey stopped.Inside, Jordan was already standing at attention-both hands neatly behind his back-as if he had been waiting for his arrival for a long time."General," he said with a respectful bow. "I've been expecting you."Harvey walked past Jordan without slowing down. He opened the closet, pulling out a pair of clean clothes, but the corner of his eye caught a stofmap in Jordan's hand."Just as I thought," he muttered, draping a shirt over his arm. "You came to see me first."Jordan nodded quickly. His body was stiff, but the look in his eyes was a little hesitant as he looked at Harvey."As per your orders, General..." he said, handing over the stofmap with both hands. "I went undercover and infiltrated many

    "Huh?" Esther widened her eyes, her pupils dilated in disbelief at what had just happened.The bottle was hurtling towards the back of Harvey's head - only a few centimeters away from hitting him. However, before the thud could be heard, Harvey's hand suddenly moved. In one smooth motion, he snapped the neck of the bottle in mid-air... without even turning his head.His hand landed with precision, as if he had been waiting for the attack.Jeane, who was standing nearby, was stunned. Her throat trembled as she swallowed."That guy... does he have eyes in the back of his head?"Harvey slowly looked back. His movements were calm, but the gaze he directed at Esther was sharp and cold, making the surrounding atmosphere suddenly freeze."What you just did... was terrible," his voice was flat, but contained a pressure that made the skin shudder.He calmly placed the bottle on the edge of the pool, as if the incident was just a minor annoyance not worth prolonging. Then Harvey nails Esther ag

    The manager's words hit Esther like a slap in the face. She was silent for a moment, her eyes widening as if it was hard to accept the words. Slowly, her gaze shifted to Harvey.The man was still in the same position-lying relaxed on the lounger, his eyes closed, his breathing regular. His fingers were even tapping the back of the chair in a slow rhythm, as if no amount of commotion could disturb his tranquility."He-" Esther choked up, her words cut off by disbelief. Her tongue seemed to stick in her mouth.She turned to the manager, looking for an opening to argue. But that stern gaze made her lose her footing. Then her eyes turned to Jeane, hoping for an explanation in her favor.Unfortunately, Jeane only replied with a confused look, her forehead furrowed, as if she didn't understand what was going on at all.Esther knew that there were penthouses in this place-an exclusive area only inhabited by people with great wealth. However, it never crossed her mind that Harvey was one of t

    Harvey's eyes twitched slightly, his gaze sharpening for a split second. His mind immediately jumped to conjecture: She thinks I work here?Esther lifted her chin slightly, a cocky grin gracing her lips. She gestured like someone who had just completed a landslide victory. Her eyes flashed with confidence, as if her speaking skills were the ultimate weapon that never missed."Well, the scenario is simple," he said in a confident tone. "The manager of this place will come, see all your reckless behavior for himself... and you know what will happen, right?" He leaned in slightly, his sly smile growing wider. "You'll be a worthless person."Harvey raised a hand, his fingers touching his chin. His head tilts slightly as his eyes sweep Esther from head to toe, unblinking, like he's scanning every detail.Esther began to feel uncomfortable. Her forehead wrinkled, her lips pulled back slightly in reaction. She knew she was attractive-pretty face, seductive posture-and Harvey's gaze made her

    “I’m not like that.”With measured movements, Harvey set the bottle back on the table. The soft thunk it made seemed to punctuate his words. He lifted his gaze to Esther again—cold yet piercing, as if trying to cut through the mask she wore.“I haven’t done anything wrong,” he said, his voice low but laced with conviction.Esther only scoffed. A faint, dismissive smile tugged at her lips as her eyes shifted sideways toward Harvey. It was the look of someone assessing an insect that dared to fight back—full of condescension.“Not wrong? Look who’s talking—a shameless man.” Her voice rose, the corners of her lips trembling with restrained fury. She snapped her head toward Jeane. “Jeane! Call the manager of this place, now. I’m done waiting!”Her eyes flared wide, a pulse visibly throbbing at her temple. Startled by the sharp tone, Jeane gave a quick nod before hurrying out, her footsteps echoing urgently across the floor.Esther turned back to Harvey, her gaze like a blade striking with
