Huh?!
Calvert looked utterly bewildered, while Harley just chuckled and responded to their parents with a cheerful “Okay!”
Naturally, her father’s words were a sign of approval for Calvert to become her boyfriend!
It wasn’t until after dinner, when Harley saw Calvert out, that Calvert seemed a bit taken aback. “Did your parents agree to us dating?”
“Yeah, why else would I have invited you for dinner?” Harley said.
“But… how did they agree so quickly?” Calvert still found it hard to believe.
“What else do you expect? Do you think this is like a TV drama where I’m supposed to deliberately make things difficult for you, humiliate you? Or do you want me to ask how much money it would take for you to leave me?” Harley retorted.
Calvert was speechless.
“My parents, they love me very much. So, whoever I love, they would never make it difficult for them,” Harley said. “Calvert, I like you. So, no matter what your background is or what your past was like, my parents will definitely accept you. I know very well that all they want is for me to be happy.”
He stood there, stunned. So, these were her parents? All they wanted was their child’s happiness, so different from his own parents.
But in his heart, there wasn’t a shred of jealousy. He just felt so happy for her. She had such a wonderful family, such loving parents, and was living a great life. She didn’t have to endure the hardships he had gone through. It was truly wonderful.
“What’s the matter? Why so quiet?” Harley asked.
“Harley, all I want is for you to be happy.” Even if they were to break up in the future, he would still wish her happiness. He didn’t know how long their relationship would last, but every day he spent with her was an incredibly precious memory to him.
She smiled, “We will be happy together, trust me, Calvert!”
It was a very simple sentence, devoid of any fancy rhetoric, yet he believed in it profoundly!
Simply because the person who said this was her – the one he loved most in his life!
During the few days Harley stayed at home to recover before heading to Calvert, he had already handed over Calvert’s agent and that Miss Maldonado to the police.
Everything is being handled by the police.
Though out there, not many people know about this.
But everyone in this circle knows about it.
Everyone knew that Harley had stuck his neck out for Calvert, and now Harley had become Calvert’s rock.
However, when the news of their relationship broke, everyone in the circle was left utterly shocked.
After all, she’s the big princess of the entertainment industry. She actually fell for this Calvert, who has no family background at all, and even… became boyfriend and girlfriend?!
Many people were both envious and jealous of Calvert’s good fortune, and naturally, there were also many who suspected that Calvert must have used some underhanded methods.
Otherwise, with so many handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, why would Harley be interested in them!
However, both Harley and Calvert chose to ignore these rumors and gossips. After all, in this circle, if you care about these rumors, you’re bound to get depressed.
“You don’t need to get resources for me, I want to rely on my own efforts,” Calvert said seriously to Harley.
“Sure!” Harley responded cheerfully, “But even if I don’t help you get resources, those resources will keep coming your way because you’re my boyfriend. You may never know which ones you earned through your own abilities and which ones were given to you because others wanted to please you. Unless you leave the industry and switch to a field that has nothing to do with the entertainment circle.”
Calvert looked up, “Are you asking me to quit the industry?”
Harley was taken aback. At this moment, she suddenly had a feeling that if she really agreed, he would probably quit the circle without hesitation.
“You shouldn’t be asking me, but rather, you should be asking yourself. This is your career, your future life!” she said.
But… she is his life!
From the moment he entered the entertainment industry, it was because of her recommendation. It was her who made him live like a human being!
He had always seized every opportunity, climbing relentlessly upwards, all because of her. He just wanted to stand by her side, to be more worthy of her.
“I don’t know what else I could do if I leave this circle.” Over the past couple of years, he’s become increasingly adept at navigating this world. “What I want is to be able to accompany you on a longer journey. If you’re destined to be in this circle, then I want to stay in it too. If I can’t distinguish which resources I’ve earned through my own abilities and which ones you’ve brought to me, that’s okay. I’ll strive to do better, so good that maybe one day, I might be able to help you.”
He didn’t want to be forever on the receiving end of her help. He also hoped that he could be of use to her!
Harley laughed, patting Calvert on the shoulder, “You got this, boyfriend!”
Calvert was taken aback for a moment, a feeling of Harley washed over him. Boyfriend… yes, he was now her boyfriend!
Harley doesn’t want her relationship to be public, attracting public attention, especially now that she’s still dating Calvert.
And those gossip journalists, naturally, after hearing such rumors, tactfully avoided the scandal involving Harley and Calvert.
After all, you don’t want to mess with the Hart family. Those journalists who have crossed the Hart family in the past didn’t end up well!
When Calvert is at work, Harley often drops by for a visit.
Just like this fashion show, Calvert is on the runway, while Harley is in the audience, watching Calvert strut his stuff.
The moment she saw him appear, her gaze seemed to be unable to move away from him!
Dressed in all black, strutting across the stage, they were like a beacon of light.
At this moment, he and his outfit seemed to complement each other perfectly, making it impossible for people to look away.
On this stage, he’s like a king.
Harley stared at Calvert on stage, somewhat taken aback. She had seen him at his lowest before. Initially, when he was introduced to the world of modeling, she thought his looks and height were more than enough.
Back then, for her, it was just a spontaneous act of kindness.
But who would have thought, he was like a raw gem, gradually radiating a glow that was uniquely his own.
When the fashion show ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and Calvert became the most talked-about model among everyone!
Harley arrived backstage, where Calvert had already changed into his own clothes, but he hadn’t removed his makeup yet.
The makeup on the stage is much more intense and vibrant than what you’d see in movies or TV shows. It’s a stark contrast to his usual no-makeup look.
Especially his makeup, it gives off a chilling vibe. And on stage, his gaze, his expressions, they all perfectly match this makeup, exuding an extreme sense of cold severity.
But oddly enough, he was now wearing such makeup, yet looking at her with bunny-like eyes, creating a strong sense of contrast.
Pretty refreshing!
“You… wait for me a bit, I’m going to remove my makeup first,” Calvert said.
“Wait up!” Harley grabbed him, “Why the rush? Let me take a good look. You don’t see makeup like yours every day.”
Calvert was blushing profusely, feeling as if he was about to burst into flames under Harley’s gaze.
Her cheeks were burning hot. If it weren’t for her heavy makeup, Calvert would probably have noticed her blushing!
At this moment, it was a private changing room, so only Harley and Calvert were in the room.
Harley gently hooked his finger under Calvert’s chin, tilting his face slightly upwards. “You on stage just now, and you right now, feel quite different. How do you manage to display such extreme contrasts in your expressions?”
“I… I just followed the designer’s instructions, trying to create the… the vibe they wanted,” Calvert stammered.
“You know, when you were on stage just now, it was as if you were glowing. It was impossible to look away. But you seemed so cold and distant, as if you could only be admired from afar, as if you were untouchable.” She murmured softly, her fingers gently tracing his lips.
His body was rigid, his thin lips slightly parted, cherishing the warmth of her fingers.
“But now, you seem so approachable,” she said, her face slowly moving closer to his. “Do you know? When you look at me like this, it’s hard to resist the urge to tease you.”
Calvert was slightly taken aback, his eyes questioning?
What’s with his look?!
Just then, Harley’s lips were about to touch his.
Calvert could only feel his face getting even redder, “Someone… someone might come in.”
Although this place is currently his to use, there’s no guarantee that no one else will come in.
“That’s okay, we’re a couple after all, everyone knows we’re dating.” As her words fell, her lips met his in a kiss.
It seems like she’s becoming more and more proactive now.
He made her experience… well, the joy of teasing a little bunny!
When the kiss ended, Calvert was panting heavily. Despite his heavy makeup, a faint blush could still be seen on his face, and his earlobes were even more flushed.
Her lips, the color of water, shimmered with a radiant glow. Her black eyes, on the other hand, seemed to be veiled in a mysterious mist.
She… she wants to be affectionate again!
Harley quickly suppressed her thoughts, feeling like she was becoming more and more “naughty”!
“Cough, cough, go ahead and remove your makeup, I’ll wait for you,” she said, clearing her throat.
Calvert finally left.
Harley was alone in the room with nothing to do, so he casually picked up a booklet from the table and started reading.
The booklet is filled with photos of this season’s models wearing finished designer clothes.
Of course, Calvert is among them.
Compared to other models, even in such flat photos, Calvert still stands out more than others!
Just then, the sound of the room door being pushed open echoed, followed by the footsteps of someone walking in.
Harley didn’t look up, thinking it was Calvert who had returned. “You sure took off your makeup pretty fast, huh.”
“Harley,” the man’s voice rang out.
Harley suddenly stiffened, looking up at the person who just walked in.
Lornell, what on earth brought him here?
Harley squinted at the other person, “You didn’t walk into the wrong room, did you?”
“I came specifically to see you,” Lornell said.
