Chapter 17: Sleeping

"Hey, rest well, Dylan, you better not bully Hallie. I can check on you any time. Of course, you can choose to lock the door, but just so you know, I have keys to every door in this house. Heh."

"..."

Dylan Collins drew his lips coldly, "Grandpa! You might as well just install surveillance cameras to watch me!

"Ai, you unbridled youngster, how can you say such a thing? You're shameless. Hallie, however, isn't as thick-skinned as you are. Hallie, goodnight, rest well. Grandpa is nearby. If this rascal dares to bully you, just call for Grandpa."

"Grandpa, rest assured, with you around, he won't dare to bully me."

Hallie Morgan dare not look into Dylan's eyes, so she quickly sweet-talked Logan Collins.

Dylan Collins silently watched as the door shut again.

Did Logan Collins just call him shameless?

What did Hallie give to Logan Collins to make him so biased towards her?

Dylan Collins pulled up his quilt in anger and laid down, "Touch me and I'll throw you out instantly!"

Could she sleep in the bed?

Hallie's eyes lit up.

She carefully shifted to one side, her mind unable to calm down.

This was her first time sharing a bed with a man.

But ironically, it wasn't Elijah Moore, her lover, her boyfriend.

Instead, it was Dylan Collins, a man she never expected.

That night, Dylan Collins couldn't sleep a wink.

He had never spent so much time in a room with a woman, let alone share a bed. This damn woman, restless by day, noisy by night, kept cuddling up to him. He almost suspected that she was doing it on purpose, but when he clicked on the light, he saw her sleeping like a log, which infuriated him so much he had to bury his head in the quilt.

Hallie Morgan woke up, rubbing her eyes, and saw Dylan Collins.

His face was strained, staring at Hallie as if she was undressed.

"Dylan Collins..."

Just when she was about to ask what was wrong, she saw Dylan Collins instantly roll out of bed and leave the bedroom without giving her a second glance.

What had she done to upset him this time?

He really was an unpredictable tyrant!

Then, Hallie noticed that Evelyn Olsen had called her.

"Well done, Hallie. You really passed the audition. That is quite surprising. Since you passed the audition, I won't say anything more. I'm here to notify you about the booting ceremony at noon. Remember to get dressed and be on time. Look, Evelyn takes care of you so well. I've prepared special clothes for you. What's your address?"

The booting ceremony is at noon?

Hallie didn't dare to disclose her real location, so she gave a nearby location. Once the dress arrived, she personally went out to collect it.

With a rustling sound, a dress that was too flamboyantly exotic to ignore fell into her sight. It was guaranteed to make her look curvy. but it really looked like something a madam at a nightclub would wear.

Evelyn Olsen was really doing her a favor...

Out of annoyance, Hallie picked up her phone and snapped a picture to send to Evelyn.

"Evelyn, are you sure this is the dress you intended me to wear? Even rag pickers wouldn't wear such low-grade clothes now."

Evelyn Olsen sent a voice message with an arrogant tone, "Hallie, do you think you've become a celebrity just because you passed an audition for a small extra role? You're dreaming. Even if you borrow from all over Wallam, you won't find a better dress than this. You're really getting carried away now."

What kind of attitude is that!

Hallie was so angry, she stormed into Dylan Collins' study.

Seeing her, Dylan Collins felt a headache coming on. And who allowed her to just barge into his study anyway?
