When Tiana was with Simon, she always asked him out, while Simon never did so. Now, a man had taken the initiative to do it and she felt excited, curious, and inexplicably thrilled.
Tiana raised her chin, looking at Enoch with pride. “A typical date doesn’t appeal to me.
Enoch held her delicate, tanned hand firmly. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied, Ms. Schneider.” He first took Tiana to a high–end restaurant for dinner. After they finished, he drove her to a private helipad.
Tiana’s eyes widened in surprise. “You are not planning to take me on a helicopter ride, are you?”
Enoch nodded. “I’ll take you to see the night view of Novavista from above.”
Tiana raised an eyebrow. “You’re flying it yourself?“.
Seeing the doubt and concern in her eyes, Enoch gently patted her head. “Don’t worry, Ms. Schneider. Ive been driving since I was a teenager, and I’m quite skilled.”
Enoch led the half–convinced Tiana onto the helicopter. He thoughtfully helped her put on the headphones.
Tiana turned her head to look at him.
Enoch turned on the power, checked the fuel, and then pulled the lever.
The helicopter began to slowly lift off.
His expression was calm and composed, his profile sharp, and his nose prominent. He looked both handsome and charismatic as he piloted the helicopter seriously.
“Why are you staring at me?” Enoch asked.
Tiana gazed at his enticingly moving Adam’s apple as he spoke. She lightly traced her lips with her tongue. “Enoch, you’re full of surprises!”
Enoch chuckled softly, “As long as Ms. Schneider is happy.”
The helicopter flew higher and higher. Tiana looked out the window, watching as the skyscrapers grew smaller and the dazzling lights sparkled like stars.
The helicopter soared over the bustling cities, flew over fields, and crossed mountains.
It was Tiana’s first time taking a helicopter ride to see the night view. Her chest surged with excitement, a feeling of freshness and thrill she had never experienced before.
Enoch flew with her for over half an hour. When the helicopter landed, her smile was still bright.
Tiana took out her phone and said, “Enoch, let’s take a selfie!”
Enoch leaned over, their heads touching.
Just as Tiana was about to take the photo, he suddenly kissed her lips.
“What are you doing…” She wanted to delete the photo, but for some reason, it seemed pretty beautiful and romantic.

“Never mind, I’ll keep it!’ she thought.
“Do you still want to go on a date?” Enoch glanced at his watch. It was still early, so he took her to a cozy bar.
Under the dim lights, a singer was performing folk songs. Unlike the noisy bars, this one was quiet and comfortable, making people feel relaxed.
Enoch ordered two platters and two glasses of juice.
It had been a long time since Tiana visited a bar. She nestled on the couch, glancing at Enoch next to her. His long legs were elegantly crossed, exuding an air of cool detachment and elegance.
Honestly, if he stood next to Jasper and Caspian, he was in no way inferior to them, either in appearance or temperament.
“Enoch, I think the girl you had a crush on must have been blind. You’re so outstanding. You shouldn’t be the one secretly admiring someone else,” Tiana said.
Enoch peeled a grape and fed it to her lips. “Matters of the heart are hard to predict. I just hope she’ll see the good in me and like me a little more.”
Tiana frowned. “What if she finds out that you and I were married and had an intimate relationship? Won’t she mind
Enoch stared at her with deep, blue eyes. “She probably won’t.”
Hearing his response, a strange feeling suddenly stirred in Tiana’s heart. She felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort.
When he offered her another grape, she turned her head away, not wanting to eat anymore. She rested her chin on her hand, focusing on the young, handsome man singing on stage.
Enoch noticed her eyes fixed on another man, and his gaze darkened. Suppressing the urge to turn her face back, he said in a deep voice, “Does Ms. Schneider really like folk music?”
our studio.
Tiana blinked. That guy is pretty handsome, and his voice is unique. I’m considering whether to sign him to our Enoch’s eyes darkened, and his jaw tightened, sharp and cold.
He struggled to hold back his feelings, realizing that his desire to possess Tiana was becoming stronger. Just her glancing at another man made him want to kiss her hard as a punishment.
He closed his eyes, reminding himself that he should not act like that. He thought, ‘Being too intense and crazy might scare her away!
Feelings are not something that develops overnight. Now, her body is already in perfect sync with mine. Sooner or later, her heart will be mine. I have to patiently wait for the day when she truly likes or even falls in love with me!”
Tiana did not notice the way Enoch was looking at her. She genuinely thought the young, handsome man singing on stage. was pretty good. She took out her phone and snapped a picture to send to Elodie.
After sending the message, she looked up just as the stage lights dimmed.
She blinked and glanced beside her, noticing Enoch had disappeared.
“Where did Enoch go? she wondered.
Soon, the stage lights came back on. A tall, imposing figure took the place where the previous singer had been sitting.

With one hand on the mic stand, Enoch slightly lowered his head. The light shone down on him, perfectly outlining his sculpted features. He rested one foot on the stool’s footrest, exuding a relaxed and carefree vibe, a sharp contrast to his usual cool demeanor.
He undid the first two buttons of his shirt, revealing his delicate collarbones and a small part of his chest. As the music played, he began singing a song.
His deep, rich voice was like a fine wine aged for years–smooth and magnetic, captivating and leaving a lingering aftertaste.
Tiana gazed blankly at Enoch in black on stage while his deep eyes glanced over the other customers and then intensely fixed on her. Tiana felt her heart race inexplicably under his gaze.
After finishing the song. Enoch stood up and got ready to leave the stage.
Several young, pretty women stepped forward, eager to add him on WhatsApp.
From a distance, Tiana could not hear what he was saying, but she saw those women glancing back at her.
At that moment, a figure walked past, blocking her view.
“Tiana, I’ll give you 15 hundred thousand dollars if you let me have Enoch!” Sherry said.
Tiana saw the check Sherry handed her. Her eyes darkened.
“If that’s not enough, I can add more. After all, you’ve been kicked out of the Schneider family and you must be short on money!” Sherry added.
Earlier, when Enoch was singing on stage, Sherry watched from an upstairs private room with her friends. She saw him looking at Tiana with deep affection, and she was so jealous she could have ground her teeth to dust.
Tiana had been in a good mood, but Sherry’s sudden appearance ruined it. There had been other socialites and wealthy women who wanted to take Enoch from her before, but none were as generous as Sherry.
Tiana glanced at the check on the table and clicked her tongue. “All right, if you can get his WhatsApp. I’ll let you have him.”
Sherry lifted her chin arrogantly. “Are you serious?”
“Of course.” Tiana nodded.
Sherry walked over to Enoch in her high heels.
Tiana could not hear what Sherry was saying to Enoch, but she could see her face turning a mix of embarrassment and
anger.
Oh! She must have been rejected, she thought.
Enoch glanced at Tiana, his blue eyes becoming sharp and intense.
Tiana’s heart skipped a beat unexpectedly, a sudden unease washing over her.
Enoch took long strides toward Tiana.
He glanced at the check on the table. “Do you think 15 hundred thousand dollars is enough to sell me out, Ms. Schneider?” He was already cold and indifferent, and his darkened expression made him seem even sterner.

Tiana rubbed her nose. “Of course not. I know you wouldn’t just give your WhatsApp to Sherry”
Sherry walked over with an awkward expression. Tiana handed the check back to her. “Ms. Ember, go take a look in the mirror. Even my Mysterious Bodyguard wouldn’t be interested in you”.
Sherry ignored Tiana and looked at Enoch with tears in her eyes. “Just because you don’t have feelings for me now doesn’t mean you never will. Feelings can develop Join me as my bodyguard, and I’ll pay you ten times your current salary”
For most people, ten times the salary was a pretty tempting
offer.
But Enoch did not even raise an eyebrow. He looked at Sherry with an expressionless face. “I already have someone I like
Sherry sneered, “Don’t tell me it’s Tiana, she won’t like you. Everyone in Novavista knows the person she likes is Simon-” Before Sherry could finish speaking. Tiana, who had been sitting on the couch with a cold and striking look suddenly walked up to Enoch, cupped his handsome face in her hands, and kissed his thin lips straight away.
The scene happened so suddenly that both Sherry and Enoch were stunned.
After Tiana kissed Enoch, she wrapped her arms around his lean waist and looked at Sherry with a raised eyebrow. “He’s my
man now!”
Sherry’s face turned extremely grim, her hands hanging at her sides clenched into fists.
“Tiana Schneider, that shameless vixen! Simon doesn’t want her anymore, and now she turns around and starts flirting with her bodyguard!‘ she thought.
Seeing Sherry furious, Tiana smiled, and her mood lifted again.
“Enoch, Tiana’s just toying with your feelings, don’t let her fool you. I am the only one who is truly sincere to you! Be my bodyguard, and if you fall for me, I’ll make it officiall” Sherry said.
Not just anyone could give a bodyguard a title like that, especially not someone like Tiana.
Enoch did not hear a word Sherry said because his attention was completely on Tiana.
‘Did Tiana just kiss me? She kissed me in front of everyone at the lar?‘ he thought.
Her possessiveness over him made a surge of adrenaline course through his veins,

Tiana shivered involuntarily when she saw Enoch’s gaze as if he wanted to devour her. For some reason, she could not help but feel a sense of vulnerability about herself.
“Sherry, why don’t you get plastic surgery to look like me?” Tiana trased.
Sherry gritted her teeth. “Tiana Schneider!”
Tiana cheerfully hooked her arm around Enoch’s, her voice soft and charming. “Enoch, I ate too much. Let’s go back and get
some exercise!”
As she watched them walk away, Sherry gritted her teeth in frustration. She thought, “Tiana, you want to steal my man, huh? I’ll make you regret it!
On the way back, Enoch drove very fast. A drive that should have taken over thirty minutes only took him half the time. Just

as Tiana was about to get out of the car, he came over and picked her up.
As soon as they reached the stairs, he kissed her. The warmth of his lips made her heart race.
Tiana gently pushed against his shoulders. “E–Enoch…”
His eagerness really scared her.
Enoch narrowed his eyes at her. “Hmm?”
“We did it too many times last night, I’m still sore.” She was not lying. They really overindulged last night.
37%.
Enoch lifted his fingers, gently touching her soft lips. A hint of tenderness appeared in his cold eyes. “If it hurts, I won’t touch you. I’ll help you with the ointment.”
“I can do it myself, Tiana said.
Seeing her cheeks blush, Enoch chuckled softly. “What part of Ms. Schneider have I not seen, huh?”
Tiana was speechless.
He carried her to the room, bathed her, and applied ointment to her.
Tiana kept her eyes closed the entire time. She thought, ‘Darn it. Being pampered like this, I felt like such a useless person! I have never been spoiled like this before–this feels unreal, like a dream.
After applying the ointment, Enoch went to the bathroom. When he came out, he was holding a hairdryer.
Tiana rested her head on his thigh, poking at his firm abs with her fingers.
“Enoch, you’re so kind to me–cooking for me, giving me gifts, and taking me out. What should I give you in return?” she asked.
He looked at her, his voice low. “There is no need for anything. Ms. Schneider. You’re the best gift.”
Tiana gazed into his deep blue eyes and defined jawline, her heart skipping a beat.
The next day, Tiana went to the magazine studio for a photoshoot.
Enoch drove her and Elodie there.
However, they waited in the dressing room for nearly an hour and the makeup artist did not show up.
Elodie was about to find the editor–in–chief when the assistant approached and said, “You can head back for now. The shoot schedule has changed.”
Elodie frowned. “Your magazine is among the top ten in the country. We’ve already signed the contract, so how can you just change things like this?”
The assistant looked impatient. “Who do you think you are to make demands? At most, the magazine will pay you some compensation for breaking the contract. Do you even know who you’ve offended? How do you expect to stay in this industry? Just leave!”
Elodie was furious.

Tiana furrowed. “Let’s go check the studio.
In the studio, the magazine’s top photographer was taking pictures of Sherry.
When Sherry saw Tiana and her team arrive, she told the photographer to pause.
She walked over with a half–smile. “Tiana. I need a few background models for my cover shot. Do you want to make an appearance? After this, you’ll probably never have another chance.”
Tiana’s eyes turned cold. “Keep the spotlight for yourself!”
In the afternoon, Tiana had a game endorsement contract to sign.

When she and Elodie arrived and were about to sign the contract, Sherry came over again. With just a few words, Sherry ruined Tiana’s endorsement deal.
Elodie was fuming
Sherry raised an eyebrow at Tiana. Tll block all your opportunities unless you quit the industry or give Enoch to me!” Tiana’s face turned cold as she walked out without saying anything.
Enoch was waiting at the door. Seeing Tiana’s expression, he could–tell what had happened. He took out his phone, ready to make a call.
Tiana quickly grabbed his phone. “You’re not planning to ask Jasper or Caspian for help, are you? There’s no need. I don’t want you to owe them any
favors.
She glanced at the arrogant Sherry in the office and smirked. “Give it a day or two, she’ll be begging me for help!”
Enoch narrowed his deep, mysterious eyes. “Are you sure you don’t need my help?”
“No need. Just wait, she’ll regret it soon!” Tiana said.
