My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace
Chapter 162

Chapter 162 

She had seen it all before, and she had no choice but to acknowledge the truth. 

After all, just that face alone could attract thousands of followers; even the company’s CEO had fallen for her, not to mention Benjamin. 

April tried to subtly convey her thoughts, but they were bluntly exposed by her friend, leaving her speechless. 

But she didn’t believe it was the Movie King who initiated things. Having been in the entertainment industry for years, he had seen all types of women. Could he really fall for Xanthea just because she was beautiful? Surely, Xanthea must have used some tricks to seduce him! 

“Enough!” Isabella said; she was clearly annoyed as she ended the call. “I asked you to keep an eye on Xanthea to see if she’s slacking or acting like a diva and to gather dirt on her, not to report on how popular she is with the boys!” 

April looked over, only to see Benjamin opening a gift box; his eyes revealed a captivating smile, one she hadn’t seen even through a screen, and it made her eyes burn with jealousy 

They hadn’t even started working together, and things were already heating up. At this rate, their, relationship would surely progress quickly! 

With so many celebrities and big names admiring the Movie King, who usually ignored them, why should Xanthea, a mere newcomer, get him? 

If their relationship were exposed now, wouldn’t millions of fans and netizens tear Xanthea apart? 

Perhaps, this could nip the budding threat in the cradle. 

Thinking of this, she took out her camera and captured a moment of them exchanging meaningful glances. 

“Scene thred, take one–mall shootout, action!” 

The clapperboard sounded, and Xanthea, dressed in a sleek and black outfit, descended smoothly from * the top of the building, like a ray of dawn slicing through the long night. 

Gangsters, who were filled the various floors of the mall, fired at her as soon as they spotted her. Amid the hail of bullets and the smoke of gunfire, she moved like a graceful butterfly, dodging and weaving as she pulled out a flashbang and a row of chillingly sharp silver needles from her utility belt. 

With a fierce burst of white light that temporarily blinded and deafened everyone, Phoenix took the opportunity to scatter the silver needles. 

Her movements were agile and precise, and her fallen cap revealed a cascade of beautiful hair and an astonishingly gorgeous face. 

The camera loomed in for a close–up of her eyes–mischievous yet seductive, an intricate mix of emotions; yet upon closer inspection, they were utterly devoid of warmth. 

She released the last two needles, knocking down her adversaries. 

“Cut” 

Kevin’s voice rang out, and everyone on set came back to reality; they were all amazed and

complimentary of the action scene, 

Xanthea was both stunning and fierce! 

Her perfect proportions, her breathtaking beauty visible from every angle, and her sharp movements combined with that playful yet seductive gaze, were a visual and emotional spectacle that captivated everyone present. 

“Fantastic, just fantastic!” 

Kevin excitedly stood up from behind the camera to applaud her. “Xan, I thought your first action scene might be challenging, but you nailed it in one take, flawlessly. Absolutely incredible!” 

“Thank you for the compliment, Director!” 

Kanthea unhooked her harness, transitioning from the fierce and enigmatic Phoenix back to her lively and sunny self; such transformation caused Benjamin, who was still lost in the scene, to momentarily daze before he too broke into a smile; his eyes were brimming with deep affection as he watched her.
