Benjamin is a big shot in the business world, and many interviews can't even get a slot with him. But he suddenly appeared on a little-known variety show and made a bold statement on air. "I came here specifically for one person." The ambiguous response from the new young actress Margo sent the internet into a frenzy. "The domineering CEO straightforwardly pursues love! I'm all for it." "There's mutual affection here; I sense something unusual." "They've confessed their feelings; this couple is definitely shipping hard!" What they don't know is that he begged me to be on this show.
Jasper Welch was a big shot in the business world, and many interviews couldn't even get him scheduled.
But he suddenly appeared on a little-known variety show and even called out during the program.
"I came here specifically for one person."
The ambiguous response from rising star Eleanor Smith sent the entire internet into a frenzy.
"The domineering CEO goes straight for love. I'm all for it."
"There's mutual affection here. I sense something unusual."
"The couple seemed to have confirmed it. Let's ship them."
What they didn't know was that this variety show was something Jasper begged me to join.
"Mr. Welch, we all know that you are relatively low-key. Could you share with the audience your reason for coming on the show?"
Having seen it all, Jasper relaxed on the show as if he were at home, even propping his leg up.
"Well, I came specifically for one person."
The show was live-streamed, and I caught a glimpse of the barrage of comments going wild with excitement.
"The domineering CEO goes straight for love. I'm all for it."
"Isn't Eleanor quite popular lately? She's also on this show. Could it be for her?"
"The cold and serious guy is earnestly chasing love. Let's ship them."
It was clear that Eleanor also saw these comments. She shyly glanced at Jasper.
Then she said, "Everyone, please don't speculate. We are a serious travel program, not a matchmaking show."
The audience got excited again.
"There's mutual affection here. I sense something unusual."
"The couple seemed to have confirmed it. Let's ship them."
"A rising star paired with a cool, distant CEO. It's so interesting!"
Suddenly, Jasper turned his head to look at me. I panicked and fanned myself, avoiding his gaze.
Last time, I got criticized for posting a photo with my brother and ended up trending for riding on the toptier star's coattails.
I couldn't let them accuse me of seducing Jasper again this time. Otherwise, I'd probably be rumored to be his sugar baby.
Then, Jasper's gaze settled back on Eleanor.
"It's fine. I'm not here for you."
I couldn't help but laugh, but the next moment I froze.
There were only two female guests present. How much clearer could he be?
We had clearly agreed at home to pretend we didn't know each other, but Jasper went back on his word.
While playing games, I was always in the same team with Jasper.
I asked him how it could be so coincidental.
He looked at me like I was an idiot and casually replied, "Because I sponsored the show."
When he wore casual clothes, I always subconsciously forgot that he was the big player in the business world.
For such a small show, he was treated like royalty.
That evening, Jasper went home. He only signed on for one episode.
As soon as Jasper stepped out the door, he sent me a message.
"I'm staying at the Hyatt Hotel tonight, 23rd floor."
I quickly replied, "Oh, I'm not going."
"Alright, then I'll just create a Twitter account and say you're my girlfriend."
Huh? Capitalists had their tricks down to a science.
Fully geared up, I sneaked over and knocked on Jasper's hotel room door.
The door opened from the inside, and Jasper appeared, freshly showered with droplets still in his hair.
"You're pretty punctual. Not bad."
I had also showered, and when I came out, he was on a video conference.
As soon as I approached, he closed his laptop and started to dry my hair.
The sound of the hairdryer buzzed in my ears, lulling me into a sleepy state, but I heard Jasper's sigh.
"I'm going to be gone for half a month to discuss the acquisition."
I had a bad feeling. He usually wouldn't share such things with me.
Sure enough, the next second, he began to play tricks.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
