Chapter 231: 212. How did the child hide

The person in the bathroom didn’t respond, and Mario Jensen’s heart sank. The force on the bathroom door intensified as he worriedly said, "Lina, make a sound, or I’m coming in?!"

Mario Jensen’s hand was already on the bathroom door, and the low voice of the woman inside finally came with a hint of unnatural embarrassment: "Um... Mario, can you... get me the bathrobe I hung in the cabinet?"

Hearing her voice, Mario Jensen hesitated, understanding instantly. He had carried her in but seemed to have forgotten to get her clothes.

"Alright, wait a moment!"

Hearing his agreement, the woman inside added: "The purple one inside!"

"Okay!"

Mario Jensen found her bathrobe in the cabinet and was about to grab it and move away, when he thought of something and returned to the wardrobe. After some searching, he finally knocked on the bathroom door, intending to say something. However, before he could speak, the woman inside panicked.

"Just stuff the bathrobe inside!"

Just as Lina was about to reach out, the man’s low, husky voice came from outside the door, tinged with unnatural embarrassment: "Where are your underwear and panties in the cabinet? I... I didn’t find them just now!"

Suddenly, Lina’s face turned red, and her body, warmed by the hot water, heated up due to the man’s words. The blush on her fair skin deepened.

"Underwear is in the third compartment on the left cabinet, and... panties are in the fourth compartment on the right cabinet!"

As she spoke, Lina’s hands nervously covered her chest as if her heart would burst out the moment she relaxed her grip.

"Wait a moment, I’ll get them!"

Mario Jensen opened the cabinet according to her instructions, and inside, rows of neatly arranged underwear filled the space. There were many styles, with and without steel rims, and for a moment, Mario Jensen didn’t know which to choose.

Which one should he pick?

Purple for mystery, red for bewitching, or black for sexiness - which one suited her best?

Thinking back to that night’s dreamlike scene, the scattered memories returned to Mario Jensen’s mind. At that time, he was not entirely unconscious, but he was unwilling to face his inner world, treating it like a dream and imagining the woman in the dream as Ivy Aretha.

But even in those memories, he could still see Lina’s face beneath him. Her elegant figure, her water-like beauty, and, most importantly, her long legs - so famous in the entertainment industry - were all still vivid. He didn’t see the wrong person but was unwilling to believe that he had done such a thing.

Though it was a matter for repentance, at this moment, he couldn’t help but fantasize about her body, stimulated by the black underwear and panties at hand. His desire swelled, and not daring to look at the items in his hand, he knocked on the bathroom door, stuffed them in, and remained silent, fearing his lustful voice would frighten her.

Lina took the clothes from the man who reached in from outside. Her eyes froze for three seconds as she saw the black lingerie set, and her face turned red again.

She had many colors of underwear, with multiple sets in the same color, but there was only one black set. Mario Jensen picked it, knowing that black represented sexiness. Did he like sexy women too?

Mario Jensen didn’t seem like that kind of person. Was Michael Gordon that kind of person?

Or was it that no matter what kind of man they seemed to be, they all preferred women to be sexy?

Ahem...

What was she thinking? What kind of women he liked has nothing to do with her!

It was said that pregnancy could make women act silly, and she had already started acting that way even though she was just pregnant. Even the slightest bit of tenderness from him led her to think about things she shouldn’t!

Lina finally got dressed and left the bathroom. Mario Jensen was still waiting at the door, holding a hairdryer. He gently pushed her onto the bed and took care of drying her hair before letting her sleep.

"Rest well, starting tomorrow, take as much rest as you want!"

After saying that, the man adjusted the bedside lamp for her, then closed the door and left.

Mario Jensen went to the guest room to take a shower, before returning to Lina to check on her. He only returned to the guest room after making sure she was asleep, and then called Mr. Assistant, Zed Peterson.

"CEO Jensen, what can I do for you?"

Mario Jensen had always been punctual and efficient, rarely calling after work hours, let alone in the middle of the night. It must be something important.

That’s why, when he received the call, Mr. Assistant was somewhat nervous.

"I’m asking you, has anyone in the company or crew given Miss Lina a hard time lately?"

Mario Jensen’s voice was low and suppressed, full of doubt in his words as if he didn’t believe Mr. Assistant’s words. "None of the new hires in the company are trying to undermine her out of jealousy, are they?"

That one sentence from Lina about being physically and mentally exhausted convinced Mario Jensen that someone was tormenting her. She had always been patient/self-restraint and never complained, forcing him to discover these incidents himself.

"CEO Jensen, I can assure you that no one is bullying her. No one even dares to give her a hard time or make special requests. With Lina’s value and the special care you provided, who would dare to provoke this popular and award-winning actress?"

"Are you sure?" Mario Jensen’s voice was filled with suspicion. "None of the newly-signed actors are causing her trouble behind her back because they’re jealous?"

Mr. Assistant quickly assured him, "CEO Jensen, rest assured. Not to mention your instructions, even Miss Lina’s current popularity would prevent anyone from daring to bully her. They’re all too busy trying to get on her good side! I guarantee that nobody in the showbiz would dare to give her a hard time or invite her to unnecessary banquets or events!"

Mario Jensen had expressly instructed that Lina should be allowed to act as she liked, and no one should give her a hard time or make special requests. With such special care, who would dare to mess with this popular and award-winning actress?

"In that case, tell Director Larson to stop filming ’Crowned Concubine’ tomorrow!"

Mario Jensen’s light-hearted words made the recipient speechless with shock, yelling, "CEO Jensen, what do you mean by stopping?"

It wasn’t that he didn’t hear clearly, but he couldn’t believe that the usually rational and work-focused Mario Jensen would suddenly want to stop the filming of a major production.
