Once Ethan was gone, Kylie closed her door, locked it, and put on the dress that he'd had bought for her night at the Oscars. It was as she'd initially been thought, a design of Rainer, flawless in every way – There was even a scent to it, like lilacs and sweet peas. Seeing what effort Ethan had gone to in order to make her night perfect, she decided to let go of her animosity. She was annoyed by the fact that he ignored her, but he still exerts some effort by pampering her often by rewarding her with so many things.

Kylie opened the bedroom door and called Ethan's name. "Ethan," she shouted. "I've put the dress on. Come at it, look. It is splendid. Thank you so much!"

​​

As soon as Ethan heard her voice, he dropped what he was doing and ran in the direction of her room.

Once Kylie was content that Ethan was as thrilled as she was, she looked at him and, with a sensual tone of voice, asked if he would help her undress. "It was easy to put on," she said, "but it is much harder to take off…"

Ethan nodded as he undid the back of the dress and helped her step out it in such a way that would prevent it from wrinkling. Ethan hung up the dress in the closet, and by the time he turned around, she had stripped off her brassiere and panties. He was stunned.

Kylie laughed and asked him, "Do you see something wrong with this situation? Why does my husband chicken out?"

For the first time in his life, Ethan was speechless.

Kylie trembled slightly in such a way that made her breasts shake. She stood akimbo and said, "You are too silly. I am completely naked, and you are fully dressed. I hope that I'm not scaring you…"

Ethan did not need a second invitation; he stripped off his clothing faster than he'd ever done before.

"Wife, I never thought that you would take the initiative to tease me," He leaned forward and pushed her into the bed.

"Don't I have the right to seduce my husband?" She said and wrapped her arms around her neck.

"I love the way you seduce me," He devours her lips with his. His hand makes way down to the middle of her legs. He was gently massaging her pearl.

Kylie quickly responded to his kissed with the same passion and wrapped her legs around his waist her he roughly entered her body. She heard him enchanting her name several times while they made love.

Another shareholder's meeting was called a week later, which seemed very strange to everyone, particularly because no one knew who'd called it. They had agreed to meet in a month's time, so everyone thought that this would be a huge waste of time. A few things were brought up, though, which seemed important enough to discuss early.

Lily took the opportunity to apologize to Kylie and promised to recognize her authority from then on. Kylie, of course, forgave her but made it clear that further rudeness would not be tolerated. Lucas gave everyone an update. He had contacted a number of studios in an attempt to get roles for their less experienced actors and had been able to find bit parts for almost everyone in their stable. As for the ones he hadn't been able to find work for, he suggested that they should be let go.

Lucas admitted that he was having difficulty managing as many people as he was, so he would be placing some of the actors with other managers. He assured them that everyone would receive support from their new managers that would be as good, if not better, than the support they'd received from him. As an example, he explained how, moving forward, Kylie Finch would be working with Faith Cruz. As it turned out, Lily would also be working with Faith.

Of course, Lily objected. She explained that she didn't get along with Faith. Instead of taking Lily's words into consideration, Lucas scolded her. He said, "I don't care if you like her or not. All I care about is whether or not you can act professionally and do your job. If you can't, you may as well walk now. I could care less what you choose, just tell me right now if you can toe the line, or not. This place would never pamper anybody who is not willing to do their tasks,"

Lily looked at the floor meekly and said, "Don't worry. I can. I will cooperate with her as per your instruction,"

As soon as the meeting was over, Kylie found a quiet place where she could call Faith. They exchanged pleasantries and set a time for them to get together and talk.

When Lucas saw that Kylie was done with her phone call, he casually wandered over to where she was standing. Kylie looked at him and said, "My guess is that you're still worried about what happened between Khloe and her assistant. I wouldn't worry too much about it. There aren't many people in the know and, among us, there are no loose lips.

"I still can't believe it, though," Kylie continued. "What kind of a person would force their assistant to take the blame for something they'd done? We all know that Jane wasn't driving the car when the accident occurred. Sometimes Khloe makes me want to puke… right in her face!"

Lucas scowled and said, "I couldn't believe it at first either, and then Khloe forced Jane to pay for the damage, lest she sues the poor girl!" "Jane has a lot of other things going on as well," Kylie added. "Her mom is having heart surgery. She is running herself ragged, just to make ends meet. Do you know her address?"

Suddenly Lily cleared her throat from behind them, and they suddenly realized that she'd been listening to them for quite some time. "What do you want?" she demanded. "I can take you to Jane's house," Lilly replied, "if you would only be willing to accept my help."
