Chapter 158

As a consolation, they had toldI'd make a perfect lingerie model. They had suggested | consider it.

Consider my ass! | loved money, but that was a line | would never cross!

Besides, I'd already been harassed several times by creeps while working as a model. When Edward heard about

it, he insisted | quit the job.

Reflecting on it now, | had to admit-those days were truly wonderful. | stayed busy, yes, but | was full of energy.

and each day felt like a fresh adventure. | never felt tired.

| couldn’t say the sthese days, though. As the head of a company, | was constantly overwhelmed. Even

spending twith my closest friends over good food and wine had beca rare indulgence.

A single, innocent remark sent my mind spiraling down memory lane.

In the real world, however, Soren was still trying to understand what | meant. “Your figure is somehow not

qualified?”

“No. If | were, I'd be a supermodel by now,” | replied.

He fell into stunned silence, but | was too self-conscious to explain exactly what | meant.

Soleil, the Pretend Sleeper, intervened. “Jesus, Ren. You really don’t know anything outside of work, do you?

Models can’t have big boobs and butts! Taylor's figure is too pronounced.”

Now both Soren and | fell silent.

It didn’t matter if it was an autumn evening or the car was cool at 20°C. My cheeks felt like they were on fire.

Then, suddenly, Soleil sat straight up and asked Soren, “But what do you think of her figure?”

| froze and tugged at my coat in a futile attempt to cover my chest. Then | regretted it because it probably made

Soren think | was self-conscious about it. What if he thought | was trying to hide something?

But | couldn't just open my coat and expose myself-especially not with the seatbelt making my chest look even

larger!

The air seemed to thicken with awkwardness.

Soren’s expression was unreadable, his gaze distant.

I had never seen him so flustered.

“Taylor, what's that supposed to mean? My brother is a certified gentleman who would never do that to you!”

Soleil said, her amusement evident as her eyes flickered to my coat.

| wished | could just jump out of the window and onto an oncoming truck. Just takeaway from this world!

Soren had reached his limit. His expression darkened as he asked sternly, “Do you wantto throw you out of

this car?”

“11 knew it! You never wantedin this car from the start! You said you were takinghome, but that’s just a

cover! Your real intention is- Oww!”

pinched her sharply on the waist to stop her.

She stared at me, shock written all over her face. “What... What was that for?! Are you bullyingwith my

brother now?!”

“No! I just thought you should go to sleep!” Or more like, she should shut up! The more she spoke, the more she

tore down the walls we had so carefully built!

Soleil smiled mischievously. Her eyes darted back and forth between Soren and me, before she murmured, “1

knew | shouldn’t have gotten in this car. Now I'm just the unwanted third wheel for you two!”

“Sol, that’s not what | meant!” | protested.

“Save your explanations,” she interrupted with feigned annoyance, then leaned back against the car door again.

I froze.

| really didn’t want to turn around and see what expression Soren was making now...
