Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 301 - 300: I’ll Show You Next Time

In the room, Jensen Sterling had already gone out, while Mia Sutton was still sitting on the bed, her normally lively eyes now a bit dazed.

Even now, she’s somewhat doubting if she just heard things.

That sentence seems to still be echoing, "If you like it, I can show you next time."

Next time! Show you!

Mia Sutton’s ears turned a bit red, and then she reached out for the pillow beside her, burying her face in it.

Truth be told... it felt really nice.

Jensen Sterling regularly exercises, especially during filming, just staying in the gym for the whole day is a common occurrence.

She knew a long time ago that Jensen Sterling was the type that looks slim in clothes but muscular without them.

His abs are very tight, without overly large pectoral muscles, very appealing and powerful.

Mia Sutton: "..." Oh no, she really seems to want to see them again.

This dangerous thought lingered for quite a while, so much so that when Jensen Sterling offered to take her to the airport the next day, Mia Sutton refused, swiftly wheeling her luggage away out of sight.

Watching the young lady flee, Jensen Sterling rarely chuckled.

Mia Sutton ran mainly because she had a rather irregular dream last night while sleeping.

In her dream, she stripped someone’s clothes off and even poked his abs with her fingers, seemingly saying something like "pretty firm".

Mia Sutton: "..." Damn, this is embarrassing. Though she’s fond of attractiveness, she never craves someone’s body; this was absolutely, absolutely an anomaly.

Thinking this, thoughts of the abs she’d once seen flashed through her mind.

After quite some time, Mia Sutton pulled a magazine to cover her face.

Oh no, she seems to be turning from a face enthusiast to a lustful girl.

...

To avoid thinking about this matter again, once Mia Sutton arrived at the Splendid Stage program crew, she threw herself into a frenzy of practice.

To chase those images out of her mind.

Mia Sutton arrived in the afternoon, the live broadcast was scheduled for the next day, and after practicing, it was already eight or nine in the evening when she ran into Nolan Sinclair upon coming out.

Nolan Sinclair knew Mia Sutton would return to record the last episode of the live broadcast as a guest, but didn’t expect to run into her.

His steps slowed down as he chuckled, "Back again?"

Mia Sutton nodded, "Yeah."

After all, he was her mentor on this program, and Nolan Sinclair indeed taught her a lot about vocals, so Mia Sutton held quite a respect for Nolan Sinclair.

Nolan Sinclair: "Heading back to the hotel? Together?"

Mia Sutton: "Yeah, okay."

The hotel booked by the program crew wasn’t far from their activity venue, so it wasn’t long before they reached there by walking.

But it was still quite cold outside in winter, Mia Sutton pulled her scarf up a few more inches, covering most of her face.

This scarf was new, bought for her by Jensen Sterling, very warm, she specifically packed it in her suitcase when leaving.

She recalled when Jensen Sterling bought her the scarf, deliberately choosing the thickest one, a smile unwittingly appeared in her eyes.

Nolan Sinclair: "Mia Sutton." He called out with a slightly louder voice.

Mia Sutton snapped back to reality, "Yeah, what’s up?"

Nolan Sinclair: "What are you thinking about, so lost in thought that you didn’t hear me call twice?"

Mia Sutton didn’t answer, apologized instead, and countered, "What did you say just now, senior?"

Nolan Sinclair: "Not much, just heard your final grades were pretty good, and recently a drama aired? Congratulations."

Upon hearing this, Mia Sutton’s eyebrows curved gently, smilingly accepting his compliment, "Thank you, senior."

Nolan Sinclair paused upon hearing that, stopping in his tracks.

Mia Sutton was surprised: "..." Why did he stop?

Then, she heard Nolan Sinclair’s teasing voice slowly come, "If I remember correctly, Jensen Sterling is a year older than me, do you also call him senior?"

Mia Sutton didn’t expect him to mention Jensen Sterling, momentarily not reacting, her pretty eyes blinked twice.

But then thought, indeed, Nolan Sinclair knows about her and Jensen’s relationship, learned while filming that MV, just never mentioned, making her almost forget.

Mia Sutton paused and said, "Occasionally." Like during some public circumstances, under everyone’s watchful eyes, she’d call him that.

Nolan Sinclair scoffed, "Well, he’s already thirty, calling him senior isn’t much."

"But I don’t like being called senior, makes me seem really old."

Mia Sutton: Just a one-year difference.

Dropping her eyes, she mumbled softly, "Jensen isn’t old."

Nolan Sinclair: "..."

After saying this, they already arrived at the hotel, reaching Nolan Sinclair’s floor, "Take a rest, it’ll be another busy day tomorrow."

Mia Sutton nodded.

After Nolan Sinclair said goodbye, he turned and left, Mia Sutton followed suit towards her room.

She didn’t know, when she turned away, Nolan Sinclair stopped, looking at the silhouette of the girl leaving in the distance, his gaze extremely calm.

After some time, he curled his lips in a scoff, continuing towards his room. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Huh, thirty and not old..." he said with a subtle tone.

Jensen Sterling was completely unaware Nolan Sinclair had mocked his age in front of his girlfriend.

...

The next day was the Splendid Stage’s final episode live broadcast, among the six people left, Lynn Joyner was still present, whereas Chloe Young and Martin Wright withdrew from the program.

Program staff said it seemed to be because of some important matter, they even paid liquidated damages.

Mia Sutton merely heard a staff casually mention it, she was slightly surprised, but didn’t focus much, after all, it didn’t concern her.

On stage, the host held the microphone introducing the rules of the final round.

Besides Mia Sutton, the program crew invited two other guest stars, but Mia Sutton wasn’t acquainted with them, merely nodding with a smile as a gesture.

The scene had multiple cameras, and the live broadcast images kept switching, with online viewers actively sending comments.

Because Mia Sutton returned, many fans welcomed her back, while most asked about what stage she planned for this time.

After the host finished explaining the rules, the stage commenced.

Lynn Joyner’s stage was second; her stage was dance, as explosively captivating as always.

At the end, Lynn Joyner glanced at Mia Sutton seated among the guests, her eyes slowly curved in a smile.

The cameraman also got it just right, swiftly giving Mia Sutton a close-up.

Mia Sutton observed this, sitting upright in her seat, then raised her hand sweetly making a heart gesture.

Their fans watching the stream instantly flooded the screen with comments, delighted by their idol’s display of affection.

This is probably the joy of enjoying girls’ friendship — there’s always love.

After their show finished, it was the guest stars’ stage, thus right after Lynn Joyner’s performance ended, Mia Sutton headed backstage for makeup.

Due to her complex makeup, her performance was the last one.
