Possessed No More: The True Star Returns to Claim Her Throne-Chapter 62: Surprise

At the film studio, Riley Perry was in her room, fingers flying across her keyboard. Her phone chimed. She quickly replied: Really? Did you just get the thermos, or did you just get home?

Cole Sinclair: I happened to get back right as it was delivered.

Why aren’t you asleep yet?

Riley Perry: Just about to get in bed.

Cole Sinclair’s chat box showed he was typing. But after he’d been typing for quite a while, she only received a single sentence: Then you should get some sleep. Good night.

Riley Perry was puzzled. ’Five minutes to type out eight words, punctuation included? Isn’t this guy just wasting my time?’ She sent a "good night" back and didn’t think about it anymore.

The materials for the robot happened to be delivered to the hotel today. She needed to assemble all the components and see how the final product looked. Without a finished product, her pitch would lack some convincing power.

Over the next few days, Riley Perry’s filming schedule grew more demanding by the day, but she didn’t stop sending gifts to Cole Sinclair.

Sometimes it was a delicious food she had tried, other times a beautiful decoration she had seen. It might also be a men’s shirt, a jacket, a bouquet of fresh flowers, a pair of cufflinks, or a fountain pen.

Every day or two, Cole Sinclair would receive a gift from Riley Perry. Sometimes it would be delivered to his home, other times to his company. Soon, the rumor spread throughout Sinclair Group: the President was being pursued!

How novel! Their cold, ruthless, rich, abstinent, and handsome President Sinclair was actually being pursued by a woman!

The woman was quite good at it, too, sending gifts every so often. And the most crucial part was that their President accepted them all~~~

Didn’t that mean the President was interested in her too?

Some even suspected that the person who left a big red lipstick mark on the President’s face was the same one sending the gifts. After all, although their President had the means, he really didn’t seem like the type to be a player. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been single for thirty-some years.

It couldn’t be that he hadn’t liked anyone before, and now that he’d finally found someone, he fell for two at once, right?

Spencer Sinclair, holding a newly received "delivery," knocked on the door of the president’s office.

"President, Miss Perry has sent another gift."

Cole Sinclair had been in a good mood lately. He was in the middle of an online meeting, but upon hearing this, he immediately paused it. "Bring it here."

He didn’t even close his laptop. Right in front of the several people on the other end of the call, he tore open the package in his hands. It was a watch.

The head of an overseas branch, who was on the video call, said in surprise, "That’s the new limited edition from Patek Philippe, released this month. It’s listed at 2.38 million, and it’s not something you can necessarily get even if you have the money. President, your pursuer is not only willing to spend money on you, but she’s also quite resourceful."

Money can be a measure of one’s means, but some things just can’t be bought.

Cole Sinclair’s first reaction was to take out his phone, snap a picture, and post it to his Moments.

The man who hadn’t touched WeChat in a million years was now posting on his Moments every other day. His friends were dying of jealousy.

When they got girlfriends, they were the ones buying gifts. With Cole Sinclair, it was completely reversed. Now, they were growing more and more curious about who this person Cole was hiding away was.

After posting to his Moments, Cole Sinclair didn’t care what his friends were thinking. He took out the watch and fastened it on his wrist. With its black band and starry dial, it suited him perfectly.

Then another thought occurred to him. Many of the gifts Riley Perry had sent him before were quite valuable. She didn’t earn that much herself, yet she was so willing to spend on him. ’Is her monthly allowance still enough?’

’No, I have to have Henry Hayes give her more money.’

He picked up his phone again and sent a message to Riley Perry: I got the gift. Thank you.

Riley Perry: The first time I saw it, I thought that the watch would surely feel honored to be on your wrist.

Cole Sinclair’s heart was just... It was the first time he’d ever heard a compliment like that, but he was completely sold!

He tried to suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth twice but failed. In the end, he just gave up on managing his expression.

The subordinates still waiting for him to resume the meeting: ’Isn’t it just over two million? As if you don’t have enough luxury watches? You’ve bought two at auction for over a hundred million. Is it really that big of a deal?’

’It’s honestly painful to watch.’

Perhaps sensing his subordinates’ frantic complaints, Cole Sinclair finally shifted his gaze back to the laptop. However, he only glanced at it before shutting it completely.

The subordinates: ...

In his office, Cole Sinclair took out his phone and called Henry Hayes. "Book me a ticket to the film studio tonight. The earliest flight."

...

「On the set of Immortal Demon Tribulation」

Riley Perry had just finished filming a long night scene. After changing her clothes, she headed out with Rocco. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

As they walked, Rocco said, "Alright, Ria, I’m gonna head out. You should get some rest early tonight, too."

Riley Perry nodded and reminded him, "Drive safely. You don’t have to be up too early tomorrow. My first scene is at nine, so you can sleep in a bit."

Rocco agreed.

When they reached the entrance of the film studio, Riley Perry’s van was already waiting. Rocco went to find his own car. As Riley walked up to hers, the rear door opened from the inside.

There was someone sitting inside. The dim light cast a soft glow on the man, and Riley Perry’s almond eyes instantly lit up. She let out a surprised gasp. "Mr. Sinclair? What are you doing here?"

Cole Sinclair held out his hand to her. "Get in."

Riley Perry gave him her hand and let him pull her into the vehicle, settling herself right onto his lap.

A smile in his eyes, Cole Sinclair looked at her. "What? Are you not happy to see me?"

Riley Perry hooked her arms around his neck and planted a loud kiss on his lips. "Happy! I’m so happy! So, so happy! Mr. Sinclair, you’ve really given me a huge surprise!"

After speaking, she planted another one on his cheek.

But how could that be enough? They had been apart for over twenty days. When they weren’t together, Cole Sinclair could numb himself with work. Now that they’d met, he wanted nothing more than to devour her whole.

Anyway, the car’s partition was already raised. Cole Sinclair pulled the woman into his arms and kissed her...

Samson Sinclair drove very steadily. After parking the car, he quickly got out and left, resignedly meeting up with Spencer Sinclair and the others, a somewhat awkward expression on his face.

In a corner of the underground parking garage, the van rocked gently, only coming to a stop more than half an hour later.

The car door opened. Cole Sinclair smoothed out Riley Perry’s slightly messy hair, then wrapped an arm around her shoulder as they walked toward the elevator.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. After getting out of the elevator, Cole Sinclair pulled Riley Perry quickly back to the room. The moment they were inside, he pressed her against the door, devouring her in a frenzy.

For the rest of the night, Riley Perry had no chance to sleep. She was constantly being tossed and turned by the man. Any other woman would have been unable to get out of bed the next day, but Riley Perry was different. During their "exercise," she activated her Dual Cultivation Technique. Not only was she not tired, but she was full of energy, like a little sprite who had just absorbed a man’s yang energy.

After a night of passion with Riley Perry, President Sinclair left in a hurry early the next morning. Riley felt a little sad to see him go, but she quickly composed herself and threw herself back into filming.

A half-month later, with the scene where Jonah Ingram, having recovered his true form, takes a sword for the male lead and dies in his arms, Riley Perry’s part in the film was officially wrapped.
