Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 319 - 319: A Substitute

Old Sterling looked at Savannah as if expecting her to say something. However, Savannah looked away.

If old Sterling was expecting her to be moved, he might be disappointed.

Well, her heart throbbed when she saw her images in the best fashion magazine, the dream of every model. And she even occupied the whole magazine, which made her the attention of the country!

However, she calmed down quickly.

There was a voice in the bottom of her heart that kept telling her that she should master herself. She was not allowed to feel happy with what he did.

***

Back in her room, Savannah found several missed calls from Olivia. She called her back.

"Savannah, have you seen it? Your publicity photos for Fairy Land are showed on Beauty! The whole of Beauty! It's all about you in this issue! You know how much the cost for one page of this magazine? Oh my! JK is amazing! How did they do it?" As soon as Olivia answered the phone, she said excitedly over the phone.

"Er..." Savannah hesitated, "it's not JK's publicity."

Olivia paused and became clear suddenly, "oh! Not JK? I should have known it. Mr. Sterling did that?"

"Hmm..." Savannah conceded.

"I see. JK's outstanding in the game industry, but it's hard for JK to make advertisements in such a fashion magazine. Only Mr. Sterling can do it easily..." Olivia heaved a sigh and continued, "Savannah, you're on Beauty, and this issue is all about you! You're well known by the modeling circle this time, and everyone envies you for being shown on Beauty. Nancy and Kitty called me just now and asked me how you are shown on Beauty. Huh, they thought nothing of you before. You're having a good run now, and they remember you. Ridiculous! Do you know Katherine? She even asked me for your number and wanted you to introduce her to JK! How did she have the face to say such things? She usually treated us like dirt!"

These names out of Olivia were the names of the models who once worked with Savannah and Olivia in the same modeling circle.

Savannah was not that person who liked to form cliques, and she was not good at flattering people. She had no other friends, but Olivia.

She seldom did modeling work after she moved into Beverly Hills. Those models couldn't find her, so they called Olivia to ask for Savannah's contact. They thought Savannah leaned on a good company now and wanted to get her connections.

"Just ignore them. It doesn't pay to be annoyed by these people."

It seemed that Olivia had returned to the young and active Olivia. Savannah was happy to see that her best friend had completely recovered.

"I just can't stand their snobbish attitude. They were even not pleased to look at you when nobody knew you. Now you're in favor, and they all wanted to be your friends! If they saw you stand arm in arm with Mr. Sterling before them, they would all be crazy, wouldn't they?" snapped Olivia.

"Olivia, don't let anyone know the relations between Dylan and me," Savannah quivered slightly at Dylan's name and said.

"Of course, I won't." Olivia knew what Savannah was concerned about. After all, Dylan had not yet made their relationship public. If those small models knew it, they might speak evil of Savannah behind her.

Then she lowered her voice, "Savannah, hasn't Mr. Sterling made any arrangement for you?" She chose her words carefully, afraid that Savannah would be unhappy.

Savannah knew that Olivia was asking if Dylan was going to make their relationship public or planned to marry her before the baby came. She grinned bitterly and said, trying not to make Olivia worry, "no. I didn't think about that either."

Olivia frowned. She noticed that Savannah's relationship with Mr. Sterling seemed to become difficult when she accompanied Savannah to Muse Park last time. However, since that man bought out the whole issue of Beauty to cheer up Savannah, he did care about her.

"What does he want?" Olivia wondered, blurting out, "he kept you at his side and made you pregnant, but still doesn't want you as his girlfriend. Why? He has been very good to you. I really don't understand. What the hell does he take you for?"

Savannah held the phone tightly, her hands trembling. It's lucky that Olivia could not see her painful expression. Her question made her feel ashamed of death.

What does he take her for? A substitute.

Did she have to tell Olivia that she got his favor because she looked like his savior?

He didn't want to marry her because he wanted to preserve the position of his wife for the girl he really liked.

But she could not bring herself to say that.

She didn't want Olivia to worry about her.

"Olivia, I know you care about me, but I'll take care of it myself. Don't worry." Savannah tried to cool herself and said.

Olivia heard the tiredness in her tone and didn't burden her with more questions.

The Sterling group.

Sitting behind his desk in the CEO's office, Dylan heard from Garwood about Savannah's reaction to the gifts last night.

She gave all the roses to the servants.

She took just one look at the magazine and then went upstairs expressionlessly without a word.

Dylan's brows knitted together. His face was covered by dark clouds. Moments later, he banged his fist on the desk, making the crystal ashtray jarred with terror.

Garwood paused, thinking that Mr. Sterling was angry. Well, it was the first time for Mr. Sterling to please a girl, and he should be frustrated when he received no expected reaction from Miss Schultz. He must be getting impatient.

However, Dylan narrowed his eyes and rang the secretary. In a minute, the secretary knocked on the door and pushed it open. "Mr. Sterling, what can I do for you?"

"Is Mr. Schultz here?" Dylan asked dryly.

"Yes, Mr. Schultz's in the waiting room now. I'll bring him in now." The secretary got his idea, turned, and went out.

Mr. Schultz? Miss Schultz's uncle, Dalton Schultz? Surprised, Garwood stood aside. The door was opened again, and Dalton walked in.
