chapter 32 Break the skin

Drinking tea, while a pair of jade hands gently squeezed his shoulders, and then there were whispers in his ears, Canyn instantly enjoyed a lot of considerate treatment that many men could not get. The photo production was deliberately arranged by Nissa, with the purpose of finding an opportunity to confuse Canyn. This was something Canyn had known for a long time. Canyn's main focus was still on Nissa's ability. "Devouring abilities has its own concealment. Since you said you absorbed my spiritual power, making this concealment stronger, then you should not reveal it. To avoid any accidents. When you feel the need to feed, call me." Devourers of abilities were generally condemned, and if Nissa was discovered, it would certainly not be good on her end. Now that Nissa was Canyn's person, if there was trouble, how could Canyn stand idly by? This instruction was also equivalent to telling Nissa not to cause any trouble for him. "Understood," Nissa said softly, now obedient like a kitten. She was increasingly feeling Canyn's attitude towards her. This was not a fate like that of a female slave, but Canyn wanting to cultivate her. Although Nissa was unclear whether Canyn's cultivation was for some future need, she no longer felt the panic and confusion of the past, which was indeed true. So in her heart, Nissa was somewhat grateful to Canyn. "Also, don't use your hypnosis anymore. Consider yourself an ordinary person. Devouring abilities is very powerful, but not innate, and its power is low. What you need is to hide, understand?" Canyn emphasized again. "I understand, Master," Nissa replied softly. "Good, the tea is a bit cold, help me refill it," Canyn said indifferently. "Yes, Master," Nissa responded quickly. Watching Nissa move with swaying hips, Canyn quickly shook his head, reminding himself not to gaze improperly. The thought that with just a command, Nissa would definitely do whatever he wanted, stirred excitement in Canyn. "Mr. Canyn, Miss Hiroko, goodbye," Nissa cheerfully saw off Canyn and Hiroko at the entrance of the bridal shop. Hiroko had a hint of doubt in her eyes as she looked back and forth between Canyn and Nissa, appraising them. "Goodbye, Manager Nissa," Canyn said with a smile, then grabbed Hiroko and said, "What are you looking at, let's go." "It's not right," Hiroko said, puzzled, as she was pulled away by Canyn. "Something wrong with the photos? Didn't you say earlier that you were very satisfied?" Canyn asked. "It's not the photos, I am indeed very satisfied with them. I feel something is off between you and Manager Nissa," Hiroko said, tilting her head as if trying to see Canyn from a different angle. Canyn inwardly sighed, Hiroko was really sensitive to even notice that. Was there any flaw in Nissa's performance? "What are you thinking about, where is it off?" Canyn asked. "Humph, Manager Nissa seems to suddenly be very afraid of you, or rather very respectful," Hiroko said hummingly. "Customers are always prioritized, isn't being respected a normal thing? You're making a big deal out of nothing," Canyn said dismissively. "That's not it, anyway, I just feel there's something off between you two," Hiroko said, stamping her foot. She just had a feeling something was off but couldn't pinpoint what exactly. "You’re imagining things, let's go. We're going to Hiroko's club," Canyn said, hailing a taxi. Actually, Hiroko was quite good. She didn't have much of a princess temperament or was overly wilful. The fact that she, at her young age, didn't drive herself was already quite commendable. "The photos are still with me, won't they be discovered?" Hiroko asked worriedly. "Shall we go home first? I'll upload these photos online, and when I have time, I'll go to the club to investigate." "Are you trying to run?" Canyn asked. "I'm not running from anything, just prioritizing things differently," Hiroko said a bit angrily. "Alright, alright," Canyn thought for a moment. It seemed a bit too fast for Hiroko to go to the club now to show goodwill. Previously, he had gone to meet someone at noon and couldn't take Hiroko with him, which was why it was like this. Now that Hiroko had something to do, it was better to slow things down. "Ms. Hiroko, are we really going to meet Urith?" Phillisa asked while driving. "Seeing him do so much, isn't it just to make me meet him? What's the harm in meeting him once? I actually want to see what kind of expression Urith will show," Emmiline said helplessly, her tone tinged with mockery, and within the mockery, a sense of decisiveness. Compared to her career, Emmiline cared more about her own mind and body. Selling herself for her career was not a choice for Emmiline, and it never would be. "Ms. Emmiline, last night, Urith actually sought me out," Phillisa said softly. "That's normal," Emmiline replied, her expression calm. "He wanted to buy me over, asking me to speak more of his good deeds in front of you, but I refused," Phillisa said solemnly. "He is a person who resorts to any means necessary in his actions. Ms. Emmiline, you must be extremely careful. I've heard his background is not clean, in case he becomes desperate..." "He dares," Emmiline said angrily, "Are the police just sitting around doing nothing?" Phillisa gave a bitter smile. The police weren't indeed sitting around doing nothing, but sometimes, under the interference of some people, it might take the police a bit longer to act and their eyes might not be as sharp as usual. This was all possible. Upon arriving at the agreed location, Emmiline, accompanied by Phillisa, met Urith. He was at a height of around 1.75 meters, with a well-maintained and proportionate body, an upright posture, meticulous hair, glasses, a fair complexion, and a gentle smile. When all these features were combined in a man, he undoubtedly exuded charm. And when this man was adorned with various top-quality, noble items, his charm increased tenfold. This was Urith, a golden diamond bachelor with an elegant demeanour on the outside. "Emmiline." Seeing Emmiline approaching, Urith's face showed joy, and he stood up to greet her. "Mr. Urith, we're not that familiar, please show some respect," Emmiline said coldly. "Emmiline, you know my feelings for you, why do you always treat me so coldly?" Urith said with a bitter smile, appearing like a lovelorn man deeply hurt by repeated rejections. "Urith, I advise you to give up on these thoughts. There's no possibility between us," Emmiline said still coldly. She didn't show any anger, getting angry over someone like Urith, a scumbag, was just not worth it. "I know you misunderstand me, I'm just more socially active usually. All that is just acting for the occasion, you don’t have to take it so seriously. My feelings for you are absolutely sincere. Look, if you agree to be with me, I can guarantee a hundred percent that such situations will never happen again. I will cultivate my character and morals, just the two of us." "Urith, shut your mouth," Emmiline couldn't listen anymore and said coldly, "What you do is none of my concern. I’ve told you, there’s no possibility between us." "Emmiline, why must you be like this? Your club is the result of your many years of hard work. If it fails, think about the blow it will be to you," Urith's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "Do you know why I agreed to meet you today?" Emmiline smiled. "Emmiline, as long as you agree to me, all the beauty salons under my name will be yours to manage. Together, we can dominate the Tokai beauty market, even the entire national market, and finally go international. Isn’t that your dream? Let's achieve it together," Urith painted a very attractive future. "I came to tell you that even if you drive all customers away from my club, even if I have to close down, you won’t succeed either," Emmiline said solemnly. Having said that, Emmiline got up and left. Her purpose for this meeting was just to make this stance clear. Urith frowned and said lightly, "Do you really not care? Emmiline, don’t push me." "Urith, can you be any more hypocritical? To make me be with you, look at what you’ve done. Do you think, a person who forces me like this, can make me believe he is sincere? Urith, go deceive children. This place is not for you to cheat," Emmiline's face was full of mockery. "Emmiline, you're right," Urith stood up, his gentle smile replaced by a cold one, "Indeed, I have no so-called true love for you. I just want to conquer you. There hasn’t been any woman whom I cannot conquer once I have my eyes set on. You, Emmiline, won’t be an exception. So, sooner or later, you will willingly climb into my bed, I'm very certain of this." "You, you’re shameless." Emmiline raised her hand to hit him. But the hand Emmiline raised was caught by Urith, who smiled and said, "A woman in her thirties, yet such good skin. I wonder if your performance is also good." "Urith, you bastard," Emmiline's face turned red. "Urith, please let go of our Ms. Emmiline, or else, I'll call for security. You can't afford to look bad here." Phillisa came over quickly and said coldly. "Miss Phillisa, just an assistant who doesn't know her place," Urith looked at Phillisa and smiled, "Go back and advise your Ms. Emmiline, let her truly understand what the best and right choice is." "You needn’t bother yourself," Phillisa said coldly, then pulled Emmiline away. "Urith, seeing you just makes me feel disgusted," Emmiline left these words and hurried away. Urith's words just now were a huge blow to Emmiline. And Phillisa was worried. Previously, Urith was just a hypocrite. But now, he had completely shown his true colours. In the state of a hypocrite, he had already used so many methods, now with his true colours shown, what would he do? Phillisa shivered with a bit of fear, not daring to imagine further.
