Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 537: A-Jing, Give Me a Hand

"Second Young Master, they’ve set up a trap within a trap!"

"I suppose they anticipated from the start that we’d try to bribe members of the Starstruck team, and so they went along with it..."

Sidney Dalton impatiently cut him off. "I already know they set a trap within a trap."

"I won’t accept this loss so easily. Go and find out if there’s any dirt on Starstruck."

"Even if there’s no dirt, create some for me!"

"We can’t let Stardust monopolize this piece of the pie!"

Sidney Dalton said with a gloomy face.

Now that Starstruck and Stardust are cooperating, Stardust has gained a major advantage in this area.

Coupled with the fact that Jonah Hawthorne from the Starstruck team is on good terms with Selena Kensington, they are even less likely to give up this piece of the pie.

Since he can’t obtain it, he doesn’t mind destroying it.

"Yes." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The assistant replied respectfully.

Afterwards, Sidney Dalton glanced at him. "Leave this matter to someone else, and you focus on overseeing the filming of ’Cultural Relics Retrospect.’ I will not allow any mishaps in this collaboration with The Imperial Museum!"

The cooperation between Stardust and Starstruck was secondary; Sidney Dalton’s main focus was breaking into the international market.

Hence, he paid extra attention to this collaboration with The Imperial Museum.

"Yes."

Early March, the start of the school term.

Selena Kensington had just finished breakfast and was leaving the dining area when she saw the butler bringing in a package from outside.

Upon seeing Selena, he nodded lightly towards her.

"Ma’am, this is your package."

"It was sent by someone named Lynn Rhodes."

Hearing the butler’s words, Selena quickly went over.

"Thank you."

Selena took the package and thanked the butler.

Lynn Rhodes is surprisingly quick...

Selena had just thought this when her phone buzzed.

Picking it up, she saw a message from Lynn Rhodes.

[Lynn Rhodes]: Miss Kensington, have you received the ’Crane on the Scene’? The Exotic Fire fashion show is set for three days from now at The Venti Hall, looking forward to your presence.

Selena curled her lips into a smile.

After replying to the message, she put her phone away and prepared to unwrap the package.

Just then, Sterling Norwood walked out from the dining room, noticing the package Selena was holding, he raised his brows.

"A dress?"

He asked.

Selena nodded. "It was sent by Lynn Rhodes."

"This is a special design she created just for me, called ’Crane on the Scene.’

"’Crane on the Scene...’"

Sterling Norwood murmured the name, then smiled, "Sounds beautiful."

Selena nodded happily and prepared to take the dress upstairs to try it on.

"Right? I think so too."

Seeing Selena heading upstairs, Sterling then followed her.

After arriving in her dressing room, Selena eagerly opened the package.

The dress inside was well-protected, and it took Selena quite some effort to open it.

Once opened, she placed the dress on a mannequin stand nearby.

Admiring the dress.

Just then, Sterling Norwood walked in, and Selena pulled him over to admire it with her.

"Isn’t it beautiful?"

Selena raised her eyebrows, full of affection for the dress.

She noticed that Lynn Rhodes had an exceptional eye for color.

The red and white design, with the selected colors of vintage red’s noble mystery and white’s clean charm.

Incorporating various traits.

Plus, the gold-trimmed design at the sleeves and hemline made the dress stand out instantly.

Nobility born with it.

"Beautiful."

Sterling Norwood looked at the dress, his eyes reflecting a hint of surprise.

The dress appeared quite conservative, reaching the ankles, and the sleeves covering the arms.

Yet it subtly showcased a hint of character.

The hollow design at the collarbone and the cut of the sleeves revealing a small section of the wrist, highlighted the woman’s allure.

If Selena wore this dress out, Sterling Norwood had no objections.

The more Selena looked, the more she liked it, so she decided to touch the fabric of the dress.

The smooth silkiness made her fall in love instantly.

Even though it was made of silk, it didn’t noticeably sag.

It looked very structured.

"I’ll try it on!"

Then, she took the dress and went into the dressing room.

Sterling Norwood helplessly sat outside waiting for her to come out.

Just as Selena walked in, her phone started ringing.

Hearing her phone’s ringtone, Selena called out immediately.

"Honey, please answer it for me!"

She had just entered and didn’t feel like going out.

Upon hearing Selena’s voice, Sterling Norwood picked up the phone she had left on the table.

It was Hugh Kensington calling.

"Sis..."

"Hello."

Hugh Kensington had just called out ’Sis’ when he heard Sterling Norwood’s voice.

He paused for a few seconds, "Brother-in-law, where’s my sister?"

Sterling glanced at the dressing room ahead and then replied to Hugh Kensington, "Busy."

"Oh... Just let her know that the Head of Aethelgard Media’s Drama Department has sent an electronic invitation to Stardust, inviting her to be a judge for the freshman evaluation examination of the Drama Department..."

Before Hugh could finish, Selena’s voice interrupted.

"Sterling, come in and help me."

Sterling Norwood hesitated for a moment and quickly told Hugh, "Got it."

Then he hung up and walked over.

"...?"

Hugh, who was hung up on, was momentarily speechless.

What are you guys doing?

Inside the dressing room, Sterling discovered that Selena’s hair was caught in the zipper at the back of the dress.

She was awkwardly trying to save her strands of hair with one hand while holding up the back of the dress with the other.

Seeing Sterling come in, Selena was nearly in tears as she asked him, "Come help me."

She had just put the dress on when she noticed a pendant hanging from the zipper, seemingly the ’Spiritual Dress’ logo.

Out of curiosity, she had bent her head to look at it.

Who knew that just as she tried to raise her head, her hair got caught in the logo.

Sterling Norwood was dumbfounded, coming over.

He freed Selena’s hair from the grip.

Selena felt her scalp lighten, finally released the tension on her dress.

Then, she gathered her long hair forward, exposing her back.

"Zip me up."

Sterling’s eyes paused, his gaze landing on Selena’s smooth, fair back.

Selena loved beauty, so she paid a lot of attention to maintaining her figure; her smooth, fair back was adorned with a pair of delicate shoulder blades.

Sterling reached to zip her up.

"... Hurry, it’s ticklish."

Selena urged him.

Sterling’s fingers were slightly cold, brushing against Selena’s skin, causing her to tremble slightly.

"Done."

Sterling said this, only then realizing his voice was slightly parched.

Even his words carried a hint of huskiness.

In the dressing room was a full-length mirror.

Once Sterling zipped up the dress, Selena began admiring her beautiful reflection in the mirror.

Sterling looked at Selena in the mirror, drawing her into his arms.
