Rebecca's hand reached out, but the hesitant Steven staggered backward.

Faced with his reluctance, she didn't force him and took two steps forward with her teeth clenched. Unfortunately, the pain had her knees buckling, sending her hurtling into Steven's arms.

After helping her to regain her balance, Steven bent forward abruptly and swept her off her feet.

With Rebecca's hand threading naturally around his neck, the close proximity allowed her to see the stubble on his chin and feel the warmth underneath his shirt.

Leaning closer toward his ear, she whispered with certainty, “You're into me too.”

When the man came to tease her earlier, verbal insults were the worst that could happen, for the hot spring was monitored by surveillance cameras.

Hence, Steven—who wasn't related to her in any way—could have chosen to turn a blind eye. Instead, he made the effort to come over and break the man's hand.

If he didn't care about her, he wouldn't have reacted in such a hasty fashion.

By the time Steven carried Rebecca into the hotel, Genevieve was done with her song. After returning the guitar to the staff, she was approached by the man in black swimming trunks.


“Your friend is really ruthless.” The man's face was still twitching from the pain. “He even broke my wrist.”

Genevieve handed over a thick wad of cash. “I appreciate your help.”

At the sight of at least ten thousand, the man's grimace was quickly replaced by a smile. Upon receiving Genevieve's money, he left a satisfied man.

Subsequently, Armand walked over. “Did you ask me to bring Steven here just to show him this charade?”

Genevieve swept her sweat-drenched hair aside to reveal her sharp jaw and alluring features. “Men never like to show their feelings and are always in need of an external shock.”

Handing her a towel, Armand asked with a smile, “Including me?”

“Of course you're not one of them. You're always brazen with your advances,” Genevieve scoffed. “If only Steven was half as audacious as you, he wouldn't have been single till now.”

For the sake of her experiment, Genevieve didn't manage to spend much time soaking in the hot spring.

Thus, after following Armand to the pool beside a pavilion, she sank her body in it to give herself a proper soak.

No sooner had she entered the hot spring than Armand joined her inside. After pulling her onto his lap, he wrapped his hand behind her head and leaned in, all before she realized what was going on.

With him biting her lip, Genevieve could hardly breathe at all.

Only then did he release her, causing her body to fall backward. Just when the scowling Genevieve wanted to give him an earful, she was interrupted by a loud bang, followed by giant fireworks illuminating the dark night sky.

One by one, the exploding fireworks lit up the sky as if it was day, splashing it with a beautiful array of vibrant colors.

Looking up, Genevieve was captivated by the dazzling sight.
