Chapter 917 Fck Off!
Paired with crispy rice and stone-fired rice, it was a flavor you couldn't find in the city. The setting and the rustic tableware alone felt like a hidden paradise.
During the meal, they chatted, and Luis learned why they were filming at the hot springs.
This mountain town had plenty of private hot springs, but only two villa-style hot spring hotels were large enough to matter.
Coincidentally, they were across from each other, both with prime locations. They'd been in a price war, though both offered top-notch service and amenities.
Earlier this month, the rival hotel owner had hired influencers, paying 100,000 dollars to Vivid Media for a promotional package.
Iron Ox had made time, promising not only his own influencers but also a million-follower influencer from the provincial capital to help promote.
There was even talk that for a bit more money, a provincial TV show about local culture might do a segment.
With the rival's filming in full swing, Blossom Media, the only competition, couldn't sit idle.
Mira had sources feeding her information. With her lawsuit against Iron Ox now handled by Winslet's legal team, she was looking for payback.
So Deewa contacted the owner of this hotel. He knew the situation and agreed enthusiastically, offering the same 100,000-dollar promotional fee, Blossom Media's first paid gig.
The four women were fully committed, having been here since last night, shooting through today, capturing every detail for promotion.
Luis asked with concern, "Mira, how's that lawsuit going?"
"Lawyer Winslet is handling it. There might be pre-trial mediation, but neither side seems willing."
Now that things were fully out in the open and she'd thrown in her lot with them, Mira, by far the most professional, had clearly settled in well. The ice had thawed, and they were getting along fine. After all, their grudge wasn't that deep, and shared interests made for a harmonious truce.
As they chatted and ate, the bottle of XO was soon empty. The food was delicious, so they ordered some beer to keep going.
Deewa checked the time. "We should be heading back soon. Don't you two drink too much. You'll have to help out again tomorrow, no slacking off."
"Got it."
The Blossom Media crew, along with Chloe and Deewa, headed back.
It was the off-season, so the hotel had few guests. The public areas were quiet, with only a few people around.
Nancy's face was flushed and alluring. She stretched and said with a suggestive smile, "Bubbles, you're not going to back out, are you?"
Mira paused, glass in hand, frowning slightly at Luis. Then she said, "I gave my word. I won't go back on it."
She paused, looking puzzled. "I just don't get it. Since he's your brother-in-law, why would you..."
During this time, she'd seen Daniel around and been shocked. She'd assumed Nancy had divorced and married Luis.
But the more she observed, the more she suspected the relationship was messier than she'd thought. When she learned he was Nancy's brother-in-law, it shattered her worldview.
She wasn't stupid, watching Chloe and Deewa's behavior, she knew there was something going on with them too.
Nancy wiped her mouth and giggled. "This summer heat, the hot springs have nearly worn me out."
"They have cold springs too, sulfur ones in the hotel's reservoir. The hot springs naturally cool but retain minerals."
"Unlike the public pools, the villa pools are temperature-controlled. There's also an indoor one you didn't see, brother-in-law."
After the meal, the three of them returned to the villa. Once the door closed, Luis noticed that beyond the outdoor pool in the courtyard, the entire first floor housed a massive indoor hot spring.
It was like a private bathhouse, with a nice pool and waterbed facilities.
Nancy gave a knowing smile. "Bubbles, time to show your sincerity."
She turned to leave, but Mira grabbed her arm. "Where are you going?"
"Upstairs. There are three rooms. I'll stay out of your way, you two can get to know each other."
Nancy sounded a bit uneasy.
"I've never been with a man. You know that makes me uncomfortable."
Mira held her hand, grinning teasingly. "Dear Nancy, you were so pushy before. You said you wanted to watch me get fucked."
"Those were your words. Now you're leaving me here?"
"Even if I can't bribe him, I could find him a pair of twins and call it even."
"You were so righteous before. I caved, and now you're the one chickening out?"
Seeing her hesitate, Mira said firmly, "I don't have to do this. But you know the situation, I need to beat Iron Ox in that lawsuit."
"We don't have much bad blood between us. I've agreed to everything you asked. What more do you want? Afraid I'll take advantage of you?"
She smiled suggestively. "I don't have a dick, I can't fuck you. You've been so high and mighty all this time. Why back down now?"
Luis listened, stunned. He didn't know what they'd discussed, but instinctively felt Mira was right.
Nancy's personality was such that she'd cave if provoked. And if Mira was using Nancy's own words against her, it was the most effective tactic.
Nancy's face reddened. "You're so pathetic. You won't be happy unless someone's watching, will you?"
"Exactly. That's just how I am."
Mira shot back. "What, you're shy now? Afraid I'll take advantage of you?"
"Damn right I am. Afraid you'll take it all."
Nancy rolled her eyes.
Luis, watching this, couldn't help but laugh. He stretched and said, "Alright, you two. This is a legitimate influencer company, not a porn shoot."
He stepped into the hot spring, the warm water comfortable, and let out a satisfied sigh.
That seemed to put things in perspective. Luis continued, "I barely know Mira, we've only met once. Any emotional connection would be barely better than a one-night stand."
"Going at it right away would make us look like porn actors, and that takes serious professionalism."
"Not to mention she's a lesbian who's never been with a man. I don't think my mental fortitude is that strong either."
"Let's just relax in the spring first. You two bickering like this makes me feel like an idiot on the sidelines."
The tension eased. Mira laughed and let go of Nancy's hand. "You're not impatient at all."
Nancy's face flushed. "He's no stranger to women. You think this playboy's just anyone?"
Intrigued, Mira gave him a sly look. "So who was it we heard earlier, Deewa or Chloe?"
"Why don't you ask them yourself?"
Nancy shot back. "I'm sick of soaking. I'm going to shower and go to bed."
"What you two do is your business. It's just a transaction, no need to build a relationship. You two are such slowpokes."
With that, Nancy turned toward the shower area, pausing slightly.
"Go ahead and wash. Afraid of being seen?"
Mira stripped off her robe, revealing her bikini-clad figure, her full breasts practically bursting out, her cleavage impossibly deep.
She taunted Nancy, "Or afraid I'll rape you? With your lover here, I wouldn't dare."
"Dream on. I wouldn't even give you my dirty bathwater."
Nancy argued back fiercely. Her spats with Deewa were never this sharp, just passive-aggressive. This was on a whole other level.
