Chapter 481

Kate looked up at the sound of his voice and gave him a gentle smile. “Mr. Wilson, I can do it! Being able to act with you is truly a once-in-a-lifetime honor for me!”

Her eyes shone with pure admiration, sparkling like stars.

Trevor rubbed his fingers together, feeling a restless itch in his heart. If it weren’t for Sophia getting in the way, I would’ve had her eating out of my hand by now, he thought.

Now that he was technically married, he had to switch up his old tricks.

Without missing a beat, he withdrew his gaze. “Alright, come sit next to me. I’ll walk you through the scene.”

Kate clearly hadn’t expected to receive this kind of special treatment. Overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, she hurried over in small steps, her cheeks flushed. “Thank you, Mr. Wilson.”

Trevor’s smile grew even wider. He found her quite adorable.

As he explained the scene to her, Trevor kept finding all sorts of “reasonable” excuses to lean in close, teasing her until her face turned as red as a tomato.

It felt that good–looking people could pull off anything. Watching him and Kate act out that kiss scene had everyone on set completely entranced, like they couldn’t look away.

Some of the young girls in the crew were so hyped that they clung to their friends' arms, squealing, “Seeing Mr. Wilson act in a kiss scene is unreal! Look at his eyes!”

“That kissing sound is making me blush so hard.”

If just watching was enough to make the bystanders lose it, it would make sense that Kate was feeling even more excited since she was acting with Trevor.

“Is this your first time shooting a kiss scene?” Trevor asked casually.

“Yeah. I’m still a student, so strictly speaking, this is my very first project,” Kate replied softly.

“I see.” Trevor’s lips curled into a smile. “You have a real spark about you. I’m sure you’ll stand out uniquely someday.”

“By the way, dinner’s on me tonight. As the female lead, you won’t turn me down and embarrass me, will you?”

Kate was a little surprised. With Trevor’s status, he’s the one treating? Usually, it’s everyone else trying to curry favor with him, she thought.

She quickly hid her surprise and lowered her head. “I think I’ll skip dinner. I have something to take care of tonight.”

Trevor’s eyes dimmed a little. “Really? That’s a shame.”

She actually turned me down? Trevor thought, both surprised and even more intrigued. The urge to win over Kate, who was so innocent, was a thrill he’d never experienced before.

He couldn’t wait.

Since he’d already said he’d treat, Trevor had the patience to see it through. He played the perfect host, had a few drinks, and aside from leaving a bit earlier than expected, there was nothing anyone could fault him for.

Stepping out of the venue, he found himself on a lively bar street, neon lights flashing everywhere. Normally, he might have been interested in grabbing a drink or two, maybe seeing if he could get lucky. But now that he had his eyes set on new prey, nothing else even registered.

Trevor pulled on a mask and sent his location to the driver.

“Let go. If you don’t stop, I’ll call for help!” a woman’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Oh, come on, pretty girl, why so serious? You work at a bar selling drinks, right? Isn’t it all about the money? Just name your price. We’re not short on cash,” one of the men jeered.

Scenes like this were so common that Trevor didn’t even bother to look over.

Suddenly, the girl being hassled’s eyes lit up. “Mr. Wilson, is that you?”

“Kate?” Trevor finally recognized the girl.

He strode over, pulled her to his side, and shot the two drunks a cold glare. “Get lost!”

“What the hell are you, pretty boy? Hiding behind a mask and talking big to us? You got a death wish or something?” one of the drunks sneered.

Dealing with two drunks was a piece of cake for Trevor. He flexed his wrists and took them down in a flash.

“What are you waiting for? Get lost!” he snapped.

Seeing he was no pushover, the two drunks scrambled up, faces pale with fear, muttering curses about their bad luck as they hurried away.

“You…” Kate choked out.

Trevor was just about to comfort her when, all of a sudden, she threw herself right into his arms.

“Mr. Wilson,” she whimpered, her voice thick with tears, sounding more pitiful than ever.

Trevor’s heart stirred. What a golden opportunity! How could I let this slip by? he thought.
