"Director, thank you for your kindness, but I really don’t want to make movies right now. Please stop bothering me, or I’ll have to call someone."
With that, the door to the room closed, leaving a dumbfounded Wallace standing in place.
Night fell, and the dining car was delivered to the cabin by a waiter. Wayne heartily indulged and filled his stomach.
It didn’t matter if it was tasty or not; he wasn’t after that. All he knew was to finish eating quickly and start training. His fellow villagers were still waiting for his rescue, after all.
The door gently knocked, and Wayne shrugged his nose, sniffing a strange scent of perfume.
He looked outside. It was not dead of night yet, but it was certainly bedtime.
One person is called resting, and two people are sleeping together.
Curious, Wayne opened the door, only to be met with a dazzling female star. The hallway was quiet, not a single paparazzo in sight.
Lily had a preference for white dresses. Because of the sea’s temperature, she wore a black coat over her dress, and she smiled faintly, "Sorry to disturb, may I come in to talk?"
The intoxicating scent of perfume caused Wayne’s fingers to involuntarily twitch. He moved aside to let her in, and after Lily entered, he closed the door.
Lily seemed not to hear the sound of the door being locked, and after entering, she took off her black coat. Wayne, being a gentleman, took it and hung it on the coat rack.
Wayne was secretly surprised; the actress seemed to have no sense of danger.
By the time he turned around, Lily was already standing by the window.
Her figure was enchanting, with long and slender curves. Her slightly tousled golden curls cascaded down her shoulders, light and elegant, emitting a faint fragrance.
She was very beautiful, making Wayne rub his hands together subconsciously, his thoughts beginning to wander even though he knew they shouldn’t.
Tonight, the atmosphere was leading to trouble, either minor or potentially major.
No, he had to stay in control. Such an easy woman was not to be trifled with; he had three college girls waiting for him at home!
Wayne shook his head to dismiss the romantic fantasies, chastising himself for getting carried away just because she came to invite him to act. It was disgraceful.
"The air is trembling, as if the sky is ablaze," Lily said expressionlessly, staring out at the black sea.
A string of question marks floated over Wayne’s head. He found these artistic types too complex. He took two steps forward, peering at the profile of the big star, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, it’s quite fiery."
"At this moment, you should say, ’Yes, the storm is coming," Lily glared at Wayne fiercely.
Wayne was puzzled, trying to decipher the meaning behind her words, when suddenly Lily moved closer to him.
Two fair arms wrapped around his neck; her chest seemed to press against some object, her nose filled with the seductive fragrance of her perfume, everything around him making Wayne feel itchy, almost sneezing uncontrollably.
Instinctively embracing Lily, his index fingers lightly tapped on her back.
What was this situation? Was this big star so forward?
"I know you hate your own identity, and your work attitude is negative, but regret is useless at this point," Lily looked up at Wayne, speaking lightly, "I’ve collected some intelligence recently. Remember to pass it back to headquarters. You’re my contact. Our cooperation has been quite pleasant, and I don’t want to switch to a newcomer at a critical time."
Wayne’s world shattered. He looked up to hide his shock, thinking of the radio under the bed and the posters all around. He involuntarily gasped, the scent of perfume overwhelming him, and he burst into a fit of coughing.
Seeing her colleague, both cowardly and pretentious, Lily shook her head and patted Wayne’s back, "And one more thing, when did you get connected with Austin Lando and get him to spend a fortune just to bring me to your bed?"
"Wait a minute, I didn’t catch that part. Could you repeat it, please?"
Wayne was utterly shocked. His mind was a mess with the pitfalls the original body left behind and the new ones he had dug himself. It was too ridiculous to piece it all together.
Especially that old fox, actually employing a honey trap, and of such high quality too!
Moreover, he finally understood why he couldn’t stop his hands from moving whenever he saw Lily; it was muscle memory. It was time to send a telegram.
"Some time ago, Lando found me and with my career as leverage, demanded..."
Lily spoke slowly, "At first he didn’t mention who it was, not until just before the ship sailed did he hand over your information. I was shocked, thinking my own identity had been exposed."
Wayne’s mouth fell open. To kick him out of the house, to prove he was a lech, Austin didn’t hesitate to personally get involved in pimping, even starting with a popular superstar, this...
This is not a father-in-law, clearly more like his real dad!
"There’s no need to be surprised, in fact, I’m even more surprised than you are."
Lily glanced at Wayne, "I originally planned to get close to Lando, to become his lover, but because of your arrival, my plans fell through completely. Now give me an explanation, why did Lando make me go to all lengths to sleep with you?"
Wayne’s eyelids twitched, as he dryly said, "You might not believe it if I tell you, but Lando thinks there’s something unclear between me and his wife and daughter and wants to expose my scandal. So, he arranged for you, the superstar with both sex appeal and talent, to seduce me."
The cause and consequence were far too complicated; he didn’t want to elaborate, so from the perspective of the aggrieved party, he gave a standard answer.
Lily’s eyes widened, and after a moment she said, "Cutting ties with Mrs. Lando and chasing after his daughter is a good opportunity to get into the Lando family, understand?"
Wayne rolled his eyes, wondering whether he should consider a cement barrel and a dive into the sea. The original identity was too complicated, and he didn’t want to get involved.
"This time I’ll cover for you. I’ll tell Lando you’re a perfect gentleman, you resisted the temptation of a beautiful woman, and I tried every means but couldn’t sleep with you."
Lily strategized for Wayne and then said, "This just gives me an opportunity to return to Frank. The war clouds are thickening, Lundan is far from the continent’s center, it can’t be the main battleground..."
"It’s different for Frank, my country needs me, she’s the only one who can stop Prussia..."
Lily had held back too long and spilled a bunch of intelligence in front of her own people, which made Wayne realize that the original identity hailed from Frank and was a spy planted in Lundan, assisting Lily in conveying intelligence.
After mocking somebody for so long, turns out he was also one of them.
Wayne frowned in disdain, insistent that the original was the original, and he was himself. An outsider, he couldn’t feel a sense of involvement in the grudges between nations and didn’t want contact with them in the future.
As soon as he returned, he would destroy the radio!
Lily got more and more excited as she spoke, a girlish, pure smile coming over her face. She hugged her and jumped around Wayne, and taking him by surprise, she stamped a kiss on his face.
Wayne touched his face where the lip print was, feeling like his innocence was gone.
"I’m missing home..."
Lily lay in Wayne’s arms, muttering for a while. Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she had fallen asleep.
The more one talks, the more mistakes one makes; Wayne just listened without speaking.
He didn’t quite understand espionage and hesitated over whether to find a cement barrel. As he was thinking, Lily took a deep breath, pulled herself together, and turned back into the glamorous superstar.
She raised her hand to wipe the kiss mark off Wayne’s face, her eyebrows raised suggestively, her eyes tempting, "Speaking of which, I quite like you. How about it, want to have a fling before I return to my country?"
Wayne shook his head, "No thanks, I respect you."
Lily was slightly startled, then beamed a radiant smile, "After trying so hard to take advantage of me earlier, suddenly you’ve become a gentleman. That’s good, you’ve proven that madam theory is right; stealing intelligence doesn’t necessarily need a female spy, one can completely go the madam route."
Wayne shrugged, reluctantly accepting ’his’ theory. No wonder his teeth weren’t good, only able to eat soft food, apparently a legacy left by his former self.
"Lando is not an easy person to deal with. According to my investigation, he’s not a frivolous playboy; gaining his trust is not simple."
Lily began to devise strategic tactics for Wayne, "My failure doesn’t mean his testing will end. There will definitely be other beauties approaching you in the future. Maintain your gentlemanly demeanor like you did tonight, always maintain control."
Difficult, not going to lie to you, if it weren’t for that college girl’s help, I might have gone overboard just now.
Wayne secretly complained. If he followed Lily’s words, he had resisted a superstar this time, but what about next time? Could it be that Butler Megan will come knocking at his door in the middle of the night?
Damn, his father-in-law really knew where to hit him where it hurt!
"You don’t have that much time to gradually win his trust. I have a simple and crude suggestion for you..."
Lily gazed at Wayne, "Get his daughter pregnant, the faster the better."
That probably wasn’t possible, the Dragon Blood Girl would forcibly confiscate his ’tools of the crime’.
