Chapter 33

Everyone was in a frenzy because Ava suddenly passed out.

Cecilia,who was nearby,was about to help her.

But someone beat her to it. Arthur dashed over and caught Ava. "Ava!"

Seeing them hug made Ella feel sad.

Lily muttered, "Is she really that fragile?"

Ella shook her head, signaling her to be quiet.

She quickly walked over and whispered, "Let me try to wake her up."

"But..."

Arthur hesitated for a moment and stepped aside for Ella.

She knelt down and carefully examined Ava, quickly realizing Ava was faking it as her eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Ella's lips curled into a smirk. "My method will hurt a lot. Even if she struggles, you need to hold her down! Otherwise, there could be consequences!"

Arthur frowned and nodded. "Okay, I'll hold her down."

He glanced at Alan. "Come help!"

"Got it!"

Alan rushed over, and he and Arthur held down Ava's arms and shoulders.

Ella leaned close to Ava's ear and whispered, "I know you're faking it.Wake up now, or you'll regret it!"

Ava tried her best to stay still.

Ella grinned. "Hold her tight, I'm starting!"

She slowly moved her hand towards Ava's nose. Seeing Ava was determined to keep up the act, she pressed her thumb hard under Ava's nose.

A scream pierced the air.

Ava's eyes flew open. "What are you trying to do,kill me?"

In her anger, she lost her usual gentle demeanor and looked furious.

Arthur was taken aback, squinting at Ava in his arms. "How do you feel?Any discomfort?"Ava's eyes filled with tears, lightly biting her lower lip."No,I feel better!"

At that moment,everyone remembered why Ava fainted.

"Lily, you went too far. It was just a game, why did you mnake it personal!"

"Yeah. Ava is still young. You should apologize for saying that!"

For a moment, Lily became the target of everyone's criticism.

Some were standing up for justice, while others were just trying to please Ava.

"Shut up!"

Lily wasn't scared at all. "It was just a joke, can't she take it?"

cno

Her expression remained unchanged as she mocked Ava, "So fragile, how will you handle things in the future? If you play a mistress and get scolded,will you faint like this? Your tolerance is too low!"

Though her words were harsh, everyone realized she had a point.

In the entertainment industry, who knew what kind of roles they would play in the future.

Alan admired her and gave a thumbs up.

Being praised didn't make her happy, Lily rolled her eyes. "Alright, it was just a game, but an apology is out of the question!"

"But..."

Ava's eyes filled with tears as she tugged at Arthur's sleeve.

Arthur lowered his head, thinking for a moment, then gently let go of Ava and stood up. "Even if it was a game, personal attacks are not acceptable!Apologize!"

His tone was flat and firm.

Lily was so angry she put her hands on her hips, ready to argue.Ella quickly stepped in front of her. "It was just a game, why take it so seriously! Besides, I was the one who woke her up, doesn't that make us even?"

Arthur didn't respond,frowning slightly.

Ella leaned close to Ava and whispered, "We won't apologize. If you push it,we'll tell the media about Arthur's marriage."

Ava's eyes widened in disbelief. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You know exactly what I mean!"

They kept their voices low, so no one else could hear their conversation.

Ava's expression shifted, and she smiled gently. "I overreacted! We still have to work together in thefuture, it's just a small matter!"

Crisis averted.

Arthur glanced at Ella, then at Lily with a puzzled look.

With the game halted, the director had to start the next one.

They drew lots from a box, and the director's face lit up with excitement.

"Today we have three fashion designers who are experts in human measurements. Let's test their professional skills."

The game rules were simple: the three designers would be blindfolded and then find a man to measure his dimensions.

Of course, the measurement would also be done blindfolded.

There would be physical contact during the measurement, adding to the fun of the game.

"As far as we know, no one here is married! Maybe we can even pair up a couple! Now, let's start the game!"

Ella looked embarrassed,clearly not thrilled about this game.

Lily handed her a towel. "Later, you should find Arthur and make Ava mad!"

"You!"

"Am I wrong? She pretended to faint!" Lily was indignant. "He's your husband; you can touch him however you want!"

Ella was stunned for a moment, still processing when her eyes were blindfolded.

The living room was spacious, with a dozen men standing in a row.

The three designers would walk over from the opposte side and choose their targets.

Blindfolded, they could only rely on their senses or smell.

Ella and Arthur had been together for years, very familiar with each other.Even blindfolded, she could easily find Arthur from a few feet away.

But why should she choose him?

Thinking about how he wanted Lily to apologize to Ava earlier, anger bubbled up in Ella, and she felt a mischievous urge.

"Alright, let's start. Designers, please find your models!"

The whistle blew.

Ella followed the scent, her target clear.

Before the other two designers even moved, she was already standing in front of Arthur.

"What's going on, can Ms. Worry-Free see? How did she find him so accurately!"

"Yeah, it's unfair. Is there some kind of trick? Director, did you check the towel on her eyes?"

Seeing Ella standing in front of Arthur, Cecilia's assistant and Andy's assistant both complained.

Ava stood there, watching Arthur and Ella together, feeling indignant. But remembering Ella's words, she didn't dare to say more and lightly bit her lower lip.

The director, sweating from the complaints, insisted, "I am sure there's no trick!"

Lily sat there with her legs crossed. "If you're not capable, practice more.

Why accuse others of cheating!"

She silently praised Ella in her heart. 'WVell done, make that bitch Ava mad.

Just when everyone thought Ella would hold Arthur's hand, she took a step to the left.

Alan's eyes widened, then he suddenly smiled and raised his eyebrows at Arthur. His smug look was really infuriating.

Just as Ella reached out, Arthur made a quick move, pushed Alan away,and replaced him.

Arthur's long fingers reached out, accurately grasping Ella's smooth hand.flipping his wrist, and interlocking their fingers,
