Chapter 217: Am I Losing My Touch?
A sexy actress with millions of male fans had maintained her modesty in every project she did, but now she was finally going to show her bold side. The pressure of expectations and quality on her was quite high.
And if she was sharing a room with him and sleeping in the same bed to achieve it, who was he to refuse her offer?
However, ever since Lucifer first laid eyes on her during the meeting at lunch, he had felt something different.
It wasn\'t his usual lustful desire for a beautiful woman; instead, it was as though she had awakened a certain feeling deep within his heart and soul, a feeling that seemed to intensify with each passing second spent in her presence.
"You\'re right. It\'s best to get comfortable before we jump into doing it in front of the cameras," Lucifer replied before taking his seat on the chair and continuing to memorize the dialogue from the script in his hand. "For now, I\'ll finish learning these lines."
"Sure. You do that while I take a quick shower and get changed for the night," Vanessa said with a smile as she picked up the sexy lingerie and held it in her arms before making her way toward the bathroom door. "And I won\'t mind if you take a peek at my body while I shower."
"Is that your way of saying that I shouldn\'t take a peek?" Lucifer chuckled. "Fine, then I won\'t look your way. Go enjoy your shower in privacy."
Vanessa just laughed in response to his words, as if she were enjoying this playful exchange between them.
Seeing her enter the bathroom, Lucifer didn\'t waste any more time and immersed himself in the script. It was as if he were determined to keep his attention focused on the paper he was holding. Discover hidden stories at m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net
Each line and each expression of his character in the scene, he went through it again and again. This was not about impressing the audience or doing better than what was expected from him... It was all about acting the perfect role to give the best performance.
He never took anything less than that for granted, regardless of what the task might be. It was his habit to always do his utmost, and the results always showed whenever he put in all his efforts and did things with utmost sincerity and dedication.

Soon, around half an hour later, the bathroom door opened again, and Vanessa emerged wearing nothing except a sexy royal blue lace lingerie set.
The bra had floral lace cups with thin straps crossing over her chest and a small bow in the center between her cleavage. The matching panties also had lace with thin straps that wrapped around her hips in a crisscross design that enhanced her curves.
As she stepped into the bedroom, a light from the ceiling highlighted her figure in a tantalizing way, illuminating her silhouette and curves while accentuating every inch of skin that was exposed by her skimpy underwear.
Her raven hair flowed over her shoulders like a waterfall, falling down her back in long, silky strands. Her skin was radiant under the light, looking soft, smooth, and flawless. Her eyes twinkled with mischief, while a hint of a seductive smile played on her lips.
It was as if she was inviting Lucifer to admire her gorgeous body without even saying a word, beckoning him to indulge in this sight of pure beauty and perfection.
However, much to her surprise, when their eyes met, Lucifer just smiled and said in a calm voice, "Oh, you finished? Then I\'ll use the bathroom next to freshen up as well. I\'ll be back soon."
He then stood up, took his towel from his side, and walked away into the bathroom without sparing her another glance.
After that, he closed the door behind him, leaving Vanessa standing there with her jaw hanging wide open, staring at the spot where he just disappeared.
\'He didn\'t even say anything...\' She thought, looking at the closed door. \'Wow.\'
Although she expected him to tease her about wearing this lingerie or maybe give her some compliments about how hot she looked, she didn\'t think he would walk off like that. Not even giving a single comment about her sexy appearance after seeing her in this state of undress.
\'Does he really have no interest in seeing me half-naked?\' Vanessa wondered, feeling somewhat shocked and a little hurt by his lack of reaction toward her body. \'Damn! Am I losing my touch? Why did he walk away so fast and didn\'t even bother to appreciate my sexy figure?!\'
She quickly glanced in the mirror and checked herself out to make sure that everything was perfect before turning around and examining her curves from behind, making sure that her ass looked great too.
After doing so for a while, Vanessa was satisfied and knew that her beauty was definitely not the reason why he wasn\'t drooling over her body, as any other man would.
\'But then, why wasn\'t he reacting like a normal person? Was it because he had a girlfriend and therefore didn\'t find the idea of checking out another girl attractive? No. That doesn\'t make sense, considering he\'s going to film an intimate scene with me in which he will be seducing me... How can that even work if he can\'t look at me in a sexual way?\' Vanessa continued thinking while leaning against the headboard of the bed and crossing her legs.
\'Was he trying to play hard to get by not showing any kind of response to my revealing outfit, thereby making himself more appealing to me?\' Vanessa pondered, considering different possibilities about Lucifer\'s lack of reaction. \'That makes sense... No guy would go through all that trouble without an ulterior motive behind it. After all, he did seem quite bold earlier today when I picked him up from the helipad. And if so, he did succeed. His nonchalance is making me wonder what could make him lose control...\'
