Chapter 231 Elodie's Tactics
Larry yanked Chloe back to the hotel like he was on a mission.
Chloe was fuming in their second-floor room. "Larry, what the heck? Why are you being such a buzzkill?"
"Babe, just chill for a sec."
Larry bolted out of the room and hit up the supermarket, coming back with a one-piece swimsuit.
He tossed it to Chloe, saying, "Put this on."
Chloe picked it up and chuckled, "Larry, seriously?"
"Just do it."
"Fine, but get out first." Chloe stood up and shoved Larry out of the room.
Once he was out, she looked at the swimsuit and a sly smile crept onto her face. She was kinda digging Larry's possessiveness.
She slipped into the swimsuit and stepped out.
Larry checked her out. Her long legs, fair neck, and arms were still on display, but it was way better than before.
Larry nodded approvingly, "Alright, you can go now."
Chloe shot him a look, "You're not coming?"
Larry scratched his nose, "No, I don't know anyone there. I'll just chill here and play on my phone."
"Suit yourself."
Chloe didn't push it. She was ready to unwind and have some fun. She left the room.
Larry flopped onto the bed and started gaming on his phone.
Meanwhile, Xavier's agent, Elodie, had caught wind that Xavier was crushing on Chloe. She started scheming.
Elodie had a knack for getting Xavier what he wanted, whether it was a high-powered exec or a naive college girl.
She slipped into a swimsuit and headed to the hot spring. Scanning the crowd, she spotted Chloe chatting with some folks.
Elodie sauntered over and tapped Chloe, who looked up, puzzled.
Elodie flashed a smile, "Wanna chat somewhere more private?"
She gestured invitingly. Chloe nodded and followed her to a quieter spot.
Elodie sank into the water, only her head visible. She grinned at Chloe, "Do you know who I am?"
Chloe shook her head, clueless.
Elodie explained, "I'm Elodie, Xavier's agent."
"Got it." Chloe suddenly clicked.
Elodie asked, "And who you are?"
Chloe replied, "I'm Chloe."
"You're Chloe?" Elodie was taken aback. She'd heard of Chloe, the media darling of Sunset City, but hadn't paid much attention since Chloe wasn't in the biz.
"Nice to meet you, Chloe." Elodie recovered quickly, smiling brightly, "With your looks, you could totally crush it in the entertainment industry."
Elodie started her usual spiel, trying to reel Chloe in.
After a long chat, she cut to the chase.
"You know Xavier's a big deal in the industry. Spend the night with him, and he'll make you a star."
"No way." Chloe shot her down.
She never wanted to be a star, let alone sell herself for fame, so she turned and walked away.
Elodie shouted after her, "Chloe, do you even know who I am? I'm the top agent in the Summer Nation. My methods are next-level. Believe it or not, a video of you and Xavier will be viral by tomorrow morning."
Chloe spun around, frowning, and asked coldly, "What do you want?"
Elodie smirked, "Ever heard of deepfake tech? I could put your face on a video of Xavier having sex. Imagine the headlines."
Chloe was shaking with anger.
Elodie was smug. This was her game.
"Spend the night with Xavier, and nothing happens. Otherwise, you know the drill. By the way, his room's 203."
Elodie strutted off. She'd pulled this stunt on countless others, and no one dared to refuse. She was sure Chloe would cave.
If Chloe didn't, she'd be toast. Plus, Xavier was a big deal, and most women would jump at the chance to be with him.
Chloe was fuming and freaking out. "What now?"
If she didn't go, Elodie would definitely frame her.
Even though she wasn't in the entertainment biz, she knew how messy it could get.
But if she went, she'd be in serious trouble. She didn't feel like soaking in the hot spring anymore. She got up and headed back to the hotel.
Her room was also on the second floor. She passed by room 203, tempted to knock, but she couldn't just give in.
She remembered Larry's words and decided to talk it over with him. She went back to their room.
Larry had dozed off while playing on his phone. The door creaked open, and Chloe walked in.
He woke up, turned over, and sat up. Seeing Chloe's troubled face, he asked, "Babe, what's wrong? Did someone mess with you? Tell me, I'll handle it."
"Honey." Chloe looked upset and on the verge of tears.
Larry immediately hugged her, holding her close, "What's going on?"
"Xavier's agent just came to see me." Chloe spilled the whole story.
"What?" Larry was furious. Xavier was asking for it, messing with Chloe.
"Babe, stay here. I'll take care of this."
Chloe quickly grabbed Larry, "Honey, don't do anything crazy. He's a big star, a public figure. If you hit him, it'll be a huge scandal, and his fans will come after you."
Larry waved her off and smiled, "Don't worry, babe, I won't hit him. I'll go talk some sense into him, you stay in the room."
Larry left, and Chloe had no choice but to wait for his return.
Larry marched to room 203 and knocked. Inside, Xavier heard the knock and grinned, "Elodie always delivers. Chloe's here already."
"Xavier, enjoy your night. You've been looking a bit thin lately."
"Thanks, Elodie."
Xavier was pumped and got up to open the door. Ready to embrace Chloe, he was shocked to find someone else standing there.
