"In bed." Fannie's voice was very hoarse.

"Ha-ha, can you get up?" Kylie laughed.

​​

"Yeah..." Fannie answered but was pressed down again by Nate, who dashed out from the bathroom.

Nate kissed her wildly. "Your stamina impresses me, Fannie!"

"Leave me alone!" Fannie struggled to get rid of him and raised her phone to show Nate. "I'm talking with Kylie about work."

"Oh." Nate smiled, then said to the phone, "Kylie, shouldn't you give us more time and space?"

Kylie did her best not to laugh out loud. "Take it slow, Nate. Don't hurt Fannie too much, or you'll bear the result as well."

Hearing that, Nate looked to Fannie. There were apparent hickeys all around her body, and it seemed he did have hurt her too much.

"Thanks, Kylie." Nate hung up the call, then lifted Fannie up from the back. "Let me see it."

"Put me down!" Fannie struggled.

"Just a while." Nate gently put Fannie down on the bed, then used force to separate her legs. It indeed was red and swollen.

Nate's heart ached for her at once. "Why didn't you tell me to stop?"

Fannie kicked Nate away. "Would you stop if I told you to do so?"

"No." Nate beamed, then hugged Fannie in his arms again. "Why don't you have a day off today?"

"I need to work." Fannie rolled her eyes at him, then supported her waist, walking towards the bathroom, but it aches every step she moved.

Nate followed her up to the bathroom and hugged her from the back again when she lowered her head to wash her face. "Do you need me to call Kylie to ask for a leave for you?"

Fannie splashed water on Nate's body. "I'm not so shameless as you are!"

"Come on, Kylie knows what we've been doing these days," Nate said.

"Today's the opening ceremony of Oh, Mother. Faith should follow Kylie there, but Kylie called me just then. I think she did that for a reason," Fannie said.

She knew Kylie very well, and she had worked with Kylie's team for a long time until now, so she almost stayed with Faith from the day to the night recently.

Although it wasn't right to say Faith betrayed Kylie, Faith believed she was the reason why Kylie could be so successful today.

There was a gap between self-confidence and arrogance.

Fannie was a smart girl, and she soon figured it out after Kylie just gave her a call.

When Kylie was still changing, Fannie arrived in a high-collar thin sweater. "Kylie, it's cooler today. Don't be caught by a cold."

"You did put on many clothes." Kylie approached near and pulled her collar to look inside.

Fannie flushed red at once.

"Here, it's very effective." Kylie squeezed something in Fannie's hands. Fannie gave it a look. It was an anti-inflammatory and detumescent ointment.

Fannie flushed redder. "Well..."

"Apply it there, and it'll be fine." Kylie winked at her.

"Kylie, you're a bad girl!" Fannie put the ointment into her bag without delay.

Kylie looked at her red face in the mirror and laughed again. "Ha-ha, Fannie, you'll learn a lot from it."

Fannie hesitated for a while, then said, "I think men are all animals in bed no matter what they look like normally."

Kylie shook her head. "Men are beasts in bed."

"Right! They bite or suck all the time!" After saying that, Fannie suddenly realized she shouldn't tell Kylie any hint about her real identity, nor expelled Ethan's secret and their entire clan, "I didn't say anything." Fannie changed her words at once.

Kylie smiled, then asked Fannie, "Can you see I've been pregnant for nearly three months now?"

Fannie looked at her belly and shook her head but nodded again when Fannie noticed her boobs became bigger. She could feel the intense power of the twins inside Kylie's tummy. She knew that Ethan's children would be of the same blood as theirs. A hybrid vampire.

***

Lucas and Faith came to pick them up later, and Faith was struck dumb a little when she saw Fannie.

"Fannie is going there with us?" Faith asked.

"Yeah." Kylie nodded. "I know you've been very busy training those new actors, so Fannie will be my assistant from now on."

Faith's smile froze on her face.

Lucas gave them a glance in the rear-view mirror, then joked, "Kylie does that for your own good. Doesn't Elizabeth need to be on many shows in the following days?"

"I think Elizabeth is very promising," Fannie said. "Faith, you've spent lots of effort on her, and I think it'll be less stressful if you can focus on her now."

"Well, thanks. I'm also thinking about how to fit all those things to my already busy schedule these two days," Faith said with a smile but was reluctant to accept it.

Elizabeth indeed was attracting people's attention now, but there was a big difference between being her assistant and Kylie's.

Kylie's rapid rise already became a legend in the entertainment industry. Let alone the salary, Faith could brag about this experience during this lifetime.

Nevertheless, Kylie replaced her with Fannie when Kylie became one of the most popular actors now, and the honor, along with attention, would be Fannie's.

Kylie held Faith's hand and said, "She's grateful to you, and we, of course, should take care of her. Director Wyatt agreed to let her be the supporting actress in his new show Oh, Mother. You can put it in her schedule."

Faith was surprised. "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"It wasn't settled until yesterday, and I forgot to tell you," Kylie explained.

Actually, she had settled it when she agreed to join the new show, but she didn't tell Faith because there could be many changes.

Sometimes, the leading actress could be replaced a minute before the shooting of a show.

Therefore, Kylie decided to tell Faith about the opening ceremony day.

Elizabeth could clear her schedule for the show, but she would be disappointed and feel mentally stressed if she was replaced at the last minute. Those entertainment reporters also wouldn't miss this chance to make stories.

Faith nodded and gave Kylie a perfunctory answer. "I understand. I'll arrange it once I'm back." After that, she took out some papers and gave them to Fannie.

"This is the timetable for the reality show. Its shooting will begin next week. There are three advertisers who invite Kylie to be their spokesperson. Now they're all yours."

Fannie took them but didn't read them right away. Instead, she asked for Faith's opinions in a very modest tone. "Which do you think is the best choice?"

Seeing Fannie asking for her opinions, Faith seemed very proud. "I think the international cosmetics brand is the best choice."

Kylie turned to look at Fannie. Fannie smiled and said, "The international cosmetics brand indeed is the best choice, but Kylie's pregnant now. I don't think it's suitable for her."

"Instead, I think this mobile online game isn't a bad choice, either."
