Chapter 168 Don't Mess with Me, Okay?
"What? Observer, you..."
The guests sitting at the dining table were all confused.
Compared to the guests' shock, Magnus remained unusually calm, even reiterating, "I mean, I was the one knocking on the door at 4 am."
Juniper was stunned.
Was Magnus here last night?
The first male guest asked directly, "So, Magnus, where did you sleep last night?"
"In room 3."
"Was it in the Beaumont room?"
Magnus replied calmly, "Yes."
Juniper almost choked on her water!
Internally, everyone was cheering.
Could he say that directly?!Was Magnus joking? He must be joking!
Just when Juniper thought it was all over,Magnus paused, then smiled coldly at everyone, "Just kidding."
Everyone thought, 'Phew... that was quite a joke.'
Juniper sighed in relief.
The first female guest always felt that there was something extraordinary about the relationship between the observer and Beaumont. Something beyond the ordinary!
They seemed very much like a couple, with an off-the-charts ambiguous vibe!
The first female guest curiously asked, "Observer, is it hicky on your neck?"
Everyone gasped.
Could she ask that?
One male guest awkwardly chuckled and said, "I suddenly feel like our show is very bold in terms of sexual content."
Thinking Magnus would just brush it off, who knew...
Magnus responded generously, "Yes, my girlfriend did it."
Juniper's eyelashes fluttered.
The second female guest asked the cameraman beside her, "Can this be aired?"
The cameraman chuckled, "If Magnus says it can be aired, then it can be aired."
Magnus, the observer whom Mr. Hayes personally called the show's team overnight to add
, wasmost likely a person with a background!
After Magnus arrived, they withdrawn all the incomprehensible arrangements.
In the afternoon, the storm on the island subsided, and the sun slowly rose.
The weather was sunny, and the island was cool.
During free time,Juniper returned to her room, grabbed her pajamas to the bathroom, and was about to change into her pajamas to take a nap.
Magnus took a step forward with his long legs and followed her in.
He closed the bathroom door.
There were no cameras here.
Juniper was startled, "You..."
Magnus's hand gently touched her forehead.
It wasn't as hot as last night, but there was still a slight fever.
Magnus looked at Juniper, frowning somewhat displeased, "Is it worth it to put your body through this for just a million dollars?"
A mere million dollars?
Right, Magnus was wealthy.
Magnus's current net worth was in the billions, calculated in US dollars.
Juniper chuckled, "A million dollars is a lot for me. What about Mr. Blackwood? You could probably earn a million dollars in a minute, why waste time on this show?"
Magnus approached, "Refuse my black card, but come here and have a fever all night just to earn a million dollars. Juniper, do you think it's worth it?"
"Mr. Blackwood, your wealth belongs toyourself . I took this show because Mr. Blackwood asked me to repay the fourteen billion dollars."
"Do I need you to repay me now?" he asked.
"But before that, I had already signed the contract," she said.
Magnus chuckled in exasperation.
Fine, it was his fault that Juniper joined the show.
Grasping Juniper's wrist, he pulled her into his arms, looked down at her, and said in a low voice, "You've been in S City for a week and had enough experience with the show. Come back to Imperial Capital with me, hmm?"
"I didn't come here to have fun, I..."
"I know. You came to make money."
Juniper was a bit tongue-tied. Did he really understand?
"The show isn't over yet. I can't leave now."
Magnus lowered his head, lightly resting his forehead against Juniper's, and said in a deep voice, "The financial backer of this reality show is Virtual Visionaries. I know the boss, I'll talk to him, and I can take you away."
Moreover, Juniper was still running a fever, and it might lead to a relapse of emphysema. If something happened on the island, no one could bear that responsibility.
There was no hospital on the island, and medical resources were scarce.
If Juniper had a high fever and lacked oxygen, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This show was quite taxing. Over this week, with all the commotion, Juniper really didn't want to stay.
But...
"If I leave halfway, they won't pay me the appearance fee."
She might even have to pay a penalty for breach of contract. Juniper didn't want Magnus to pay the penalty for her. She would be indebted to him for life.
Juniper decided to tough it out for a bit longer.
She never realized before how much she loved money.
Magnus had to say, "I'll have them wire the money to you tomorrow. Come back home with me, okay?"
Really?
"Jenny misses you, too."
Juniper naturally wouldn't refuse such a good offer-leaving halfway and still getting the appearance fee.
Juniper was about to agree until she noticed the hickey on Magnus's Adam's apple again.
She suddenly realized something.
Magnus already had a girlfriend. Was it appropriate for him to hold her?
Juniper pushed away Magnus's hand. "Forget it, you should go back. Being on this show isn't good for you. It'll be over in a few days. I can tough it out"
"Juniper."
Magnus looked at her, his gaze somewhat impatient, and his voice turning cold, "Didn't we agree to get along well in these last few days? Wasn't that what you said?"
"Yes, I said that."
"So why are you still picking a fight with me? Or do you want to make me unhappy?"
Juniper twitched her mouth.
She wasn't intentionally trying to upset him.
Magnus leaned back, watching her. His patience gradually wearing thin, "Juniper, where's your spirit of contract?"
Didn't she say she wanted to keep the creditor happy?
Was this how she made to do it?
Wasn't fourteen billion dollars enough to let her smile at him?
These days, Magnus was also in a bad mood.
It had been a week since Juniper left home to participate in the show. He had become quite irritable.
She kept her eyelashes lowered, saying nothing.
So Juniper loved giving him the silent treatment, huh?
Magnus's eyes narrowed, completely losing his patience, "If you don't speak, I'll tell them we slept together last night."
A blatant threat.
Juniper suddenly looked up, "Since when did Mr. Blackwood start talking nonsense?"
Talking nonsense?
Magnus's brow twitched, "I'm just stating the fact."
He didn't seem to be joking.
Juniper suddenly realized, "The men's underwear..."
"Mine,"Magnus stared at her, "I changed after my morning shower, and forgot to take it. Where is it?"
"I... I threw it away."
Magnus chuckled, "Juniper, are you doing this on purpose?"
"I'm not! I thought it was... a pervert..."
Magnus frowned slightly, his gaze darkening a bit, "Who did you think was a pervert?"
"I thought it was Trenton..."
Suddenly, Magnus lifted Juniper up and sat her on the bathroom counter.
The counter was a bit high, and she sat there, eye level with Magnus.
Magnus look at Juniper,with his large hand around her waist, and his gaze deep and probing, "You really have no memory of last night?"
Juniper was confused from the fever in the middle of the night. She only vaguely remembered she was dreaming.
But upon waking up, the memory was fragmented, and even the dream was blurry.
Seeing Juniper looking bewildered,Magnus chuckled, saying to her, "You left a hickey and nibbled on my Adam's apple. You got me all worked up, but slept soundly. Juniper, even if you hate me, do you have to tease me like this?"
"Did I... leave the hickey on your Adam's apple?"
Magnus raised his chin slightly, tilting his neck to reveal the hickey, "Leaving hickeys on my neck to mark your territory, wasn't that your favorite thing to do before?"
