Loving A STRANGER Chapter 442
Advertisement
Faith was displeased when Kylie agreed with Fannie.
"Kylie can't use cosmetics because of pregnancy. Can she play mobile online games?" Faith sneered. "Aren't you afraid of radiation?"
Fannie smiled. "Radiation is ubiquitous in modern society, and it's unavoidable to live with it. I'm not saying that Kylie could play mobile online games all day, but she shouldn't overdo it."
Fannie was also reminding Faith not to overdo her job.
However, Faith was in a rage now, and she wouldn't listen to Fannie. "Well, mobile online games are quite addictive. I don't think it's easy to manage the time well."
Seeing they were arguing, Lucas, interrupted them to alleviate the situation. "We can discuss the ad later. Faith, why don't you tell Fannie what she should pay attention to in the meeting place?"
"I think she's smart enough to learn it herself." Faith turned to look out of the car window.
Fannie shook her head at Kylie, which meant it wasn't the right time to teach Faith a lesson now.
The car stopped at the hotel, and Faith made an excuse that she had a stomach ache, so she didn't get off it. Kylie didn't mind it at all and walked into the meeting place with Fannie.
Lucas didn't turn to criticize Faith until Kylie disappeared from his sight. "What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Faith felt aggrieved. "I became her assistant and took good care of her when she was merely nobody, but she wants to dump me once she's famous!"
"If Kylie really wants to dump you, she could directly fire you!" Lucas glared at her.
Faith was struck dumb for a few seconds, but she still refused to admit it was her fault. "Fire me? Who will help her train those useless, stupid asses?"
"Faith, I'm so disappointed in you now." Lucas almost punched her. "Do you think Kylie lacks money now?"

"Lord Ethan can give her anything she wants, and there is no need for her to train newcomers at all. She just wants to give those newcomers a chance, and also give us a chance!"
"If she wants to abandon us, she wouldn't have brought us to Coco Resort. Faith, I think you should calm yourself down and think about it." After that, Lucas slammed the car door and left.
Faith sat alone in the car and thought Lucas's words made sense. Kylie didn't abandon her and also gave her a chance to be a leader.
Probably because Fannie, who was a great match for her, showed up by her side, she had a strong sense of crisis and lost her reason.
Thinking of that, Faith raised her head and noticed Vivian getting out of the car.
"What's she doing here?" Faith was curious and got out of the car at once to follow Vivian up.
In the meeting place, Fannie walked behind Kylie and stayed focused.
Kylie, instead, kept smiling at the people around them. The two dimples at the sides of her lips were super attractive. She smiled and nodded at the reporters when she introduced them to Fannie.
"The girl over there is Kate Green's assistant. You can go over and talk to her. I think you can learn much from her," Kylie said.
"I understand." Fannie nodded.
When they just walked to the stage, Vivian stepped towards them together with her assistant.
"Hi, Kylie, are you alright today?" Vivian greeted her with a broad smile. "If you feel sick again later, I'm afraid the reporters can't have the best photos of you."
Kylie looked at her with a calm face. "Congrats, Vivian. I think you've achieved your goal."
If Vivian could attend today's opening ceremony, it meant she must have served Harvey well last night and replaced Elizabeth in the show.

"Why do you want to be an actress?" Kylie asked her. "For money or fame?"
"Neither." Vivian smiled. "To be honest with you, I don't believe it myself if I say it aloud. I just love acting, nothing else."
"But you're not a qualified actress," Kylie said, then turned around walking away, but Vivian stopped her.
"What is a qualified actress? Have you ever thought about it yourself when you were nobody in this industry?" Vivian became serious all of a sudden. "My family isn't rich or powerful, and I can only rely on myself to fight for everything!"
Kylie got rid of her hand. "You rely on your body."
"So what?" Vivian's eyes were a little wet. She approached Kylie's ear and said in a very low voice, "Do you know how I served a drink to Harvey last night? I used my wet core. He stuck a wine bottle inside it, then licked it..."
Vivian stopped a second, then raised a smile. "I won't give up any chances."
Seeing the forced smile on her face, Kylie suddenly felt she was very pitiful.
She was an actress who ached for fame but chose the wrong path towards it.
There were too many girls like her in the entertainment industry, and Kylie was already used to it.
"You want to be a famous actress now. What if you want to be a woman one day?" Kylie said, then walked upstage.
The sentence echoed for a long time in Vivian's ears, and she understood it very well.
However, everyone laughed at those who are without fame and money nowadays. As long as she could be famous, no one would care about her history.
Flashbulbs were bright on the stage in an instant, and Kylie stood right in the limelight.
Seeing that, Vivian clenched her teeth. "You're not qualified to criticize me. You sold your body to Lord Ethan for your success today's success!" Afterward, she snorted and went upstage as well.
"Kylie, you're so stunning today." She smiled and walked to Kylie's side. She would seize every chance to win the media's attention.
Kylie also smiled at her. "You're gorgeous too!"
Many reporters were attracted by these two beautiful ladies standing together and put questions to them at once. "It's the first time that you've worked with each other. Could you please tell us your impression of one another?"
Kylie looked at Vivian and elegantly invited her to answer the question at first with her hand.
Vivian took a microphone and said with a smile, "Kylie is my idol, and I think I can learn a lot from her. I also feel quite honored that we can work together on his new show."
After that, Vivian glanced at Kylie, then added, "Kylie doesn't feel well these days, but she still comes to attend today's opening ceremony. It really touches me."
All of a sudden, a reporter reached his microphone to Kylie. "Kylie, you're engaged now. Could you tell us when your wedding day?"
Kylie wore a mysterious smile. "We're still discussing it."
"Will you invite reporters to attend your wedding?" another reporter asked.
"Sure, I also want to share my happiness with you," Kylie said.
"It's said that your fiancé is the boss of Peak Pictures. Will you leave your current company and work for his?" a reporter asked.
"I don't think you've put it correctly. I don't need to work for his company. I should also be the boss of his company," Kylie said, and all the reporters were amused.
Seeing Kylie became reporters' focus, a touch of hatred flashed by Vivian's eyes.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
