She had looked sexy yet not trashy. That outfit had made her look like Eve in God's garden, having just taken a bite from the forbidden fruit.

When he had stopped by his gallery earlier that morning, his assistant had brought him some models' portfolios to look at. He had flipped through each of them, but all of the models had somehow morphed into Genevieve in his eyes. Only then did he realize that she wasn't just a simple muse.

If she wasn't his model, he would never complete his life's greatest works because she had been the inspiration for both of them.

Nathalia looked up and raised an eyebrow. “What?”

Yuvan frowned, but assumed her vibe had just changed because of her new haircut. “I want you to keep being my model,” he said in a pleading tone.

“I don't have time.” Nathalia's response was short and succinct.

Yuvan paused in shock, not having expected her refusal.

Cooper and the woman before him had been the ones to nearly kill Herbert that day. Moreover, if it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't have been involved in that mess last night.

She owed him this, at least.

Didn't she feel guilty in the slightest and wanted to make it up to him?

Yuvan's gentle demeanor became colder and he pulled down his collar, showing Genevieve the newly healed scratch mark on his throat. “This is from the woman last night. You owe me one. Just be my model until I finish this painting, and we're even.”

“You'll probably need at least a month to finish it, right? So I should be your model for a whole month? Sounds unfair to me,” Nathalia said with a scoff as she continued toying with her phone.

Yuvan was speechless.

She hadn't even asked for money back when she was his model. Not only that, but she had even said that she would donate her share of the profit to a charity once the painting got sold.

What happened to her?

Yuvan was tired of standing and sat down next to her. “Name your price.”

Nathalia didn't even look up at him. “I don't need any money.”

Yuvan was speechless once again.

He didn't know if Genevieve had only acted nice back then to get on his good side, but she certainly wasn't a pleasant person to deal with now.

Glancing at her phone, he caught sight of some news she was reading about a racing club. She seemed pretty interested in it.

“You like racing?” he asked.

“Yeah,” she replied with a sigh as she leaned her chin on one hand. “The Gliders are setting up a competition the day after tomorrow, but only club members can join. I've never raced before and I don't have any connections, so they didn't let me join.”

Yuvan smiled at the hint of a breakthrough. “I have a way to get you in. If I do, will you finally be my model?”

“Sure!” Nathalia replied, her eyes gleaming enthusiastically. “If you get me in the club, then I'll be your model for three whole months!”

“Okay. Your words, not mine,” Yuvan said as he turned around to contact a friend.
