Chapter 220 Let Me Help YouCold sweat was trickling down Tyson's forehead as he stared at thedocument. “Vanessa is such a vicious woman!"Meanwhile, sheer hostility was apparent on Samuel'shandsome and chiseled face.”Mr. Macari, shouldn't we inform Ms. Johnson about these?” Tysonasked curiously.Samuel shook his head in response.Tyson was taken aback upon seeing Samuel'sresponse. “But won't doing so allow us to reveal Vanessa's sinister schemes?"“But I want Nicolettedead,” Samuel stated, his eyes cold.Then, everything clicked into place for Tyson.Samuel wouldnever intervene if he could use Vanessa to take Nicolette's life.He no longer harbored feelings forNicolette as she had nearly killed Kathleen.Furthermore, she caused Kathleen a great deal ofpsychological trauma and even killed his two unborn children.How could he possibly let Nicoletteoff the hook?Samuel was already being charitable by not offering Vanessa a weapon and assistingher in murdering Nicolette.Tyson eventually understood Samuel's intention. Quietly, he said, “Youhave a point. We should just let the wicked punish themselves. There's no need for you to get yourhands dirty, Mr. Macari.”It was not worth it to be charged with a crime because of people likethem.”Oh, right,” Samuel said with a slight smile. “Acquire the brand of this jacket."Tyson waspuzzled. Samuel's spontaneous request had taken him by surprise.”l noticed Kate wearing a few oftheir jackets. Please get in touch with them and request that they appoint Kate as theirspokesperson,” Samuel stated lightly.Even though Tyson was still speechless, he managed to replywith a simple “okay.”Samuel, on the other hand, focused on the jacket hung next to him. The longerhe stared at it, the happier he felt.Tyson could tell that Samuel was in an exceptionally good moodby looking at the latter's crossed legs, which were bouncing rhythmically.It seemed that Samuel andKathleen were making good progress.Thank God.Meanwhile, Kathleen was filming diligently withthe film crew.And around the afternoon came Charles, who paid her a visit."Charles, what brings youhere?” Kathleen asked. She was rather sweaty as she had just finished shooting a scene.It was anaction scene.In order to present a more realistic shot, Kathleen had done the scene on her ownwithout a stunt double.Charles cleaned the grime off her face before announcing, “Mio wants you tobe their spokesperson.”Utterly taken aback, Kathleen asked, “Really?"“Yes.” Charles nodded."Didn'tMio say they'd never hire a spokesperson?” Kathleen questioned, still in a state of shock. “Theirjackets are really comfy to wear, though." That was what the ex-boss of Mio said. The current boss isapparently different,” Charles explained.Kathleen was once again taken aback by the informationshe was getting. “The ex-boss and the current boss? Did Mio have a change of bosses?"Charlesnodded in response.“Who is the new boss?” Kathleen inquired, intrigued. “The fact that they choseme, an A-list actress, as the spokesperson, however, shows that they have superb taste.”"SamuelMacari,” Charles replied flatly.Kathleen was rendered speechless.She did not expect Samuel to haveacquired Mio right after receiving a jacket of the said brand from her not so long ago.On top ofthat, he even appointed her as the spokesperson.Thus, she had no idea how to react.”"What do youthink?” Charles asked."Charles, you're letting me take the job?" Kathleen asked, feelingsurprised."Why not? It's an opportunity to make money,” Charles reasoned. “Furthermore, quite afew prestigious brands are also interested in working with you. I'll arrange it so that all shots can becompleted within three days."Kathleen nodded. “Okay. You carry on with the arrangements then. I'lldo as you say."With a trace of irritation in his voice, Charles said, “To be honest, I'm not happy withthis. Mio, however, makes more than just jackets. The complete apparel line was allotted to you,thanks to Samuel's arrangement. Thus, I'm sure that you'll be endorsing the other clothing items aswell. Which brings to mind something I need to talk to him about—if he wants to make you thespokesperson, he had better make it permanent; he’s also not allowed to hire otherspokespeople.”Once again, Kathleen was rendered speechless.Charles seems to be blatantlythreatening Samuel at this point. He knows that Samuel would definitely agree to his terms.Notknowing what else to say, Kathleen opted to continue working instead. As she was about to turnaround and leave, she informed, “I have to continue filming, Charles.”"Go on. I should also get backto the hospital,” Charles replied lightly."Has Granny not awaken yet?” Kathleen asked.Charles shookhis head. “I've consulted the doctor, but he isn’t sure either. He said that we might have to wait untilthe next day." After all, Granny was poisoned with a slow-acting poison,” Kathleen stated beforecontinuing, “I don't think she'll wake up that soon. You should deal with your work, Charles. Thereare people in the hospital who could help look after Granny anyway."Charles huffed. “Samuel hadinstructed more people to be on guard. He's always been eager when it comes to things likethese.”Helplessly, Kathleen retorted, “Charles, isn't it good that Samuel's offering help?”“Charlesmerely grunted in response.”Well, he does have more men under him than you do,” Kathleenmuttered.”I'm just worried that the same things that happened to you in the past will happenagain,” Charles explained.Kathleen pursed her lips.It was then that Charles realized that he had saidsomething wrong. “I didn't mean to bring it up.”Kathleen sighed. “He won't make the same mistake.Samuel's not that foolish.”She knew Samuel very well.Charles gave her a sidelong glance. "You seemto know him extremely well.”“"What can I do? I've liked him for so long. I've been learning about himduring my free time. How could I not know him well?" Kathleen smiled bitterly before continuing, “IfI had used some of the time that I had spent to learn him on myself, I would've become famous twoyears ago.” That's why you shouldn't be a love-struck fool,” Charles exclaimed. “Kathleen, you'reliving your best life now. So please don't cause yourself trouble by getting into arelationship.”Kathleen snorted. “Says the one who hoped I'd end up with either Chris orCaleb."Charles was embarrassed after hearing her words.”To put it out in the open, you just don’twant me to get together with Samuel,” Kathleen suggested, raising a brow.Charles huffed. “I justdon't want to give him another chance to hurt you!"Kathleen breathed out another sigh beforepatting Charles on the shoulder. “You're overthinking.”With that, she turned on her heel andleft.Charles furrowed his brows.What does she mean? Does she think that Samuel won't hurt her?Heglanced at Kathleen, who was currently preoccupied with filming, and decided he didn’t want tobother her anymore. Thus, he quietly took his leave After the conversation, Kathleen was absorbedin her thoughts while filming. Why do I know Samuel so well to the extent that I know him betterthan myself?By the time Kathleen finished her work, it was already evening.Surprisingly, Samuel hadcome to pick her up.Kathleen looked at him.Apart from his shirt, he was dressed entirely in blackand was still sporting the jacket she had given him.He was breathtakingly handsome with distinctfeatures, which consisted of thick brows and a straight nose bridge.He often gave a cold andclosed-off impression when his face was expressionless.It was then that she realized she had beenstaring at him. She quickly walked over to him and said, “I'll drive there myself."“I'd get scolded ifyou did so,” Samuel replied. He flashed her a half-smile as he stared at her. “You filmed an actionscene today?"Self-consciously, Kathleen touched her face. “How did you know? I'm sure I've wipedmyself clean.”“You've missed a spot,” Samuel said with a smirk. “Your ear.”My ear?Kathleenimmediately shot her hand up to touch her ear.Yet, she failed to replace any specks of filth."Let me helpyou?” Samuel asked.Hesitantly, Kathleen nodded.Samuel took a handkerchief out from his pocketand gently wiped the dirt off her ear.He quickly noticed how red Kathleen's ear hadturned.Kathleen'’s ears are her second-most sensitive body part. The most sensitive one is...Samuelstopped his train of thoughts from spiraling any further. Like the gentleman that he was, hecontinued wiping her ear.”All done,” Samuel stated with a smile.He then caught a glimpse ofKathleen's earlobe piercing and felt his heart skip a beat.Slowly, he retracted his gaze and openedthe car door. “Get in."Nodding, Kathleen got into the car.After also getting into the car, Samuelordered the driver to start driving.
