Honestly, it was an internal crew gathering. Sadie was the investor, Natasha was her guest, and everyone understood boundaries. Things were kept respectful.

Even the lead actor, Miles, maintained a appropriate distance after Natasha indicated she preferred personal space early on. He was merely enthusiastic and attentive–their clothing never even touched.

However, Alexei was the jealous type and got annoyed when seeing someone “flirting” in front of Natasha.

Miles felt wronged. He’s a top star, not some scoundrel without principles. His approach had been that of a charming, witty confidant.

Alexei hadn’t anticipated that even avoiding clubs and bars, a simple set visit would attract such attention around Natasha.

He instantly regretted letting her go that morning even more.

Natasha belonged tucked safely away in his pocket.

In the back seat of the Maybach, he lifted her by the waist and sat her on his lap, facing him.

“Baby, did you have fun today?” he asked, his voice aggrieved.

Natasha, still a bit drowsy, nodded with a smile. “Yes!”

Alexei gritted his teeth. “But I’m not happy. I don’t like working alone, and I hate those bad men outside circling around you, my baby.”

Natasha was drunk, but her instinct to comfort was still there.

She nuzzled him like a puppy, giving him gentle pecks on the lips. “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. I love you the most, my dearest. There, there,”

Alexei, taking advantage, licked her lips in return. “Then how will you comfort me, baby?”

Natasha’s eyes were unfocused, clouded by a drunken childishness and confusion.

“I don’t know.”

Alexei’s rough fingertips stroked her wrist.

He wanted to lock her up and hide her where only he could see, but then he remembered she disliked lacking freedom and dark rooms. So, like a restrained beast, he gently, yet with a hint of force, bit her slender neck with his teeth, careful not to cause her pain, as if to leave a permanent mark.

The car was parked inside the villa, and the driver had left a long time ago.

The shaking in the back seat, however, grew more intense, and the sounds grew louder.

Drunken Natasha was easy to manage; she was compliant with whatever he asked. The first time she got drunk was the day Olivia was arrested. At that time, they still kept their distance, and he strongly desired intimacy but had to severely restrain himself.

Now, however, it became his excuse to indulge.

He not only did what Natasha had promised him before she left that morning, but also many things they had never tried before.

Natasha almost cried herself clear–headed in the latter half.

It had already exceeded the limit.

Tears and saliva from her red lips slid down and her tie–blindfolded eyes. Alexei, without the slightest bit of disgust, comforted her while cleaning her up.

Her head sometimes hit the car roof or window, but he considerately padded it for her with his hand.

When Alexei brought the naked Natasha into the house, wrapped in his suit, she was already dehydrated and exhausted.

Only Alexei, whose spirit was rekindled like a mythical creature brimming with vital essence, completely shook off the frustration he had felt from rushing over from the company to intervene.

The crew members anxiously waited for several days and found that everything was fine.

Alexei not only didn’t find fault with them or blame them for corrupting Natasha; instead, after Sadie’s follow–up investment, he also made another investment. The Turner Group employees who handled it claimed it was a reward for them accompanying Natasha.

However, the film crew’s schedule suddenly became very tight.

Forget about dining out or drinks; the director worked them relentlessly from dawn till dusk, leaving everyone utterly exhausted.

Miles was most afraid of being held accountable. However, despite Alexei’s jealousy, Alexei had already gotten what he wanted from Natasha, so he wouldn’t irrationally eliminate every man who admired his beloved. Moreover, he was just a minor celebrity who had acted on instructions due to a misunderstanding.

Miles received a brand endorsement and, at the same time, an invitation to a romance reality show.

Sadie likely knew someone was jealous that day, so she wisely kept a low profile for several days and didn’t approach Natasha.

She packed up, put an end to her temporary distraction, and returned to the company, ready to contend with her father.”

Natasha had been staying obediently at home for the past few days, as she simply couldn’t take it anymore.

During dinner that day, the director learned that Natasha had choreographed for a recently popular global touring dance drama. He enthusiastically told her that a famous director friend of his was shooting a historical film and wanted to invite her to be a dance consultant.

Natasha didn’t refuse, but production hadn’t started yet, so there was no rush.

Her current focus was on finishing her drafts, as her last collection of paintings, which featured folklore and supernatural themes, sold very well. Her editor

wanted to capitalize on that success with a second volume.

As she emerged from the art studio, Alexei also stepped out of the study on the other side.

In the dining room, Alexei skillfully settled her on his lap, massaging her waist while feeding her dessert.

Natasha swung her legs and picked up the invitation in her hand. “Quinn is getting engaged? Who is she?”

Alexei glanced at it casually. “She is from the Murray family. They say Quinn protected her on the yacht last time, and she got a minor injury. Their relationship warmed up, and that’s how it was settled.”

“Do you think what happened last time was really Quinn?”

Alexei would not hide his doubts from Natasha, and Natasha also knew that he didn’t fully believe the results of the last interrogation.

A hint of arrogant defiance, reserved only for Natasha, flickered in Alexei’s eyes. “Guilty until proven innocent.”

Natasha tapped the invitation. “Alright then. Looks like this engagement party won’t be peaceful either.”

She recalled Edgar, who, in their recent meetings, had been startled. Smiling, she propped up her chin. “We can play games with your grandfather again!”

Alexei couldn’t help but smile, and gently stroked her elegant, beautiful nose. “Naughty,”
