Chapter 22 Similar Taste in Women
"Look at that one wearing the red bikini! See how long and smooth her legs are? I wish I could touch them right now!"
"I don't have a thing for women with long legs. For me, the one standing first in the line is the real catch. Her tits are so much larger than my wife's!"
"You guys have such a lousy taste in women. Can't you guys see that the girl in the black bikini is the cream of the crop? She's young, and her skin is flawless. Most importantly, she has got one hell of a nice butt! I would have no regrets in my life if I could have her as my girlfriend!" A bespectacled man pointed at the runway and commented excitedly.
The bunch of young men was making lewd remarks on the models somewhere not far away from Liam.
Mr. Jackson noticed that the bespectacled man was checking Amber out too. "That guy has got a similar taste in women as Mr. Croft!" he thought.
Liam heard what the bespectacled man said too. Looking sullen, he spun around and walked away in silence.
Mr. Jackson trailed behind Liam, feeling on pins and needles because of the dour expression on Liam's face. The only thing he could do was to hope that his subordinate would be able to carry out his instruction well.
Amber, together with the rest of the models, returned backstage when the fashion show finally came to an end.
"Gosh, the back of your feet are bleeding!" Lily exclaimed worryingly.
Amber lifted her feet and found blood all over the shoes.
She did not feel the pain earlier because her attention was fully focused on the bikini. Now that she saw blood on her feet, she immediately felt an intense pain coming from the wound.
The situation worsened because she had hematophobia. Coupled with the pain, her legs turned to jelly and she nearly keeled over.
"There's a lounge over there where you can take a rest. Let me deal with your wound with some plasters!" Lily kind-heartedly offered.
Amber was slightly puzzled by the drastic change in her attitude. Despite so, she did not overthink her gesture.
Lily took Amber's windbreaker over and draped it over her body. With her help, Amber slowly made her way to the lounge.
The lounge was renovated and decorated lavishly. The walls were covered with golden wallpaper, and the room was lit by beautiful wall lamps. There was a soft and velvety carpet on the floor, a luxurious sofa in the middle of the room, and a very comfortable-looking bed next to the sofa.
Lily made Amber sit down on the sofa. With a pleasant smile, she said, "Look at how pale you are! Please rest here while I fetch some plasters for you."
"Thanks, Ms. Green!" Amber looked at Lily with her eyes brimming with gratitude. To her surprise, Lily turned out to be quite a helpful person despite looking rather obnoxious and snobbish in the beginning. Lily flashed her a sweet smile. "No worries. It's my pleasure to help you."
Soon, Amber felt a lot better because it was warm inside the lounge.
As Lily ended up taking longer than expected, Amber started getting restless as she desperately needed to get changed. She felt uncomfortable because her body, except for the part covered by the windbreaker, was exposed.
After some time, Lily was still nowhere in sight. "I think I can go to the dressing room myself since I'm feeling a lot better already. As long as I keep my eyes away from the blood, I'm sure I won't faint," she thought.
Just as she was ready to stand up and leave, the door was opened.
"Ms. Green..." Amber was left tongue-tied when she looked up at the door.
Instead of Lily, it was Liam who was standing in front of her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
