Demons Beside You

The ten campuses of the University of California are UC Berkeley, UC Los Angeles, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UC Davis, UC Riverside, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, UC Merced, and UC San Francisco.

UC Berkeley used to be the main campus.

However, as the other campuses developed, there is no longer the main campus today.

The other campuses are already comparable to UC Berkeley in terms of their resources and academia. All the campuses are now on the same level and only belong to the University of California.

Every year, many competitions are held within the University of California, among which sports competitions and academic competitions are official. UC Games was the most popular one. Even the media might be present.

“According to the sports club representative, they need to hire a coach.”

“What sport is it? Is it a coach for professional athletes?” Wright asked.

“I don’t know the details yet.”

“Then ask the sports club rep to see me. If I don’t get a satisfactory answer, I won’t approve the money.”

UCLA was very rich since it would receive donations from its graduates every year. This year, in particular, the donations even summed to thirty million dollars.

Nevertheless, as the principal, Wright had to calculate the university’s spending carefully. After all, many things in the university needed money. She would never approve a two hundred thousand application that easily.

…

“Mr. Chen, do you have a solution already?” Movich Tutas was very anxious.

He would ask Chen Zhao every day if he had a solution.

Chen Zhao was his only hope and mental support.

“I already have a solution, but I need to prepare first. Be patient just for a few more days. I promised you that I’ll definitely solve your problem in ten days.”

Chen Zhao could feel Movich’s anxiety.

He also wanted to end the case as soon as possible and get his pay.

Today, Chen Zhao had to bring Princess, Briar, and Bramble to the pet hospital to get them vaccinations and the appropriate certificates.

In America, one could keep any animal as a pet, provided the animal was vaccinated for specific diseases.

When Chen Zhao brought Princess into the pet hospital, the hospital staff were still astonished.

After all, Princess looked a bit too fearsome. Nonetheless, with Chen Zhao around, Princess was very obedient and clever. Briar and Bramble, on the other hand, were the real troublemakers.

Soon, the pet hospital produced their certificates. Princess was not afraid of needles at all.

When Chen Zhao left the pet hospital, he received a call from Steven.

“Chen, I’m at Rasfa’s place. Aren’t you coming?”

“No, you guys have fun,” Chen Zhao said.

“Come and drink together. Even if you’re not going to play, we can at least have a gathering.”

Chen Zhao glanced at his watch. It was already afternoon and he probably would not have another client for the day.

“Fine, I’ll be there.”

…

Paris was working at the moment. Suddenly, her phone rang.

“Hi, Mr. James.”

When Paris received James’ call, she could hardly contain her excitement.

After all, she had already paid the price, but James had yet to give her a confirmatory reply.

A few days had passed. Paris thought that James had merely wanted sex with her and made an empty promise.

James’ call today was a delightful surprise for Paris.

“Ms. Paris, are you free now?”

“Yes.”

“Mr. Steven is holding a party. I’m invited too and I need a female companion.”

“You mean I can meet Mr. Steven?”

“Yes.”

“What time is it?”

“Now. Go change your clothes and make yourself pretty. If you can satisfy Mr. Steven, maybe you’ll be more than just a body double,” James said.

“Yes, I’m coming now.”

Paris could not care about her job anymore. She hurried home and changed her clothes.

Meeting Steven was the only thing on her mind.

Paris was somewhat unfocused. She was driving her car way too fast.

Suddenly, she saw the red light before her, but her car already hit the car in front of her.

Shit! If she wasted any more time, she might miss the opportunity.

However, Paris still had to leave her car to check the situation. The driver in front also alighted.

“Chen, it’s you?”

“Ms. Paris, what a coincidence. You look really beautiful today. Are you going to a party?”

“It’s my friend’s party. I’m sorry, Mr. Chen. It’s my fault.” Paris forced a smile on her face.

“How do you think we should settle this?”

“Chen, I’m in a rush. Can you give me your number? After the party, we’ll talk about compensation.”

Chen Zhao gave it some thought. He could see that Paris was really in a hurry. “Alright.”

Anyway, the damage was not severe. The back of his car was slightly dented and would not even cost a hundred dollars to repair.

Overjoyed, Paris gave Chen Zhao a warm hug.

After twenty minutes, Paris finally met James.

James was a middle-aged man, about forty years old. He had been Steven’s assistant director a few times already and was quite powerful in Steven’s film crew.

“Why were you so slow?” James looked at Paris. “But you’re really beautiful.”

“Thank you.” Paris bit her lower lip gently. She could feel the lust in James’ eyes.

“What happened to your car?”

“I… I bumped into another car on the way.”

“Forget it. Board my car.”

James’ car was much better than Paris’. When she boarded the car, she felt as if she was already a female star.

However, James suddenly unzipped his pants. “Use your mouth.”

Paris glanced at James and then lowered her head.

Given her skilled service, very soon, James could not take it anymore.

Paris lifted her head and looked around her. “Mr. James, where are we going now?”

“Beverly Hills.”

Beverly Hills! It was the most luxurious region in America.

Almost everyone dreamed of living in Beverly Hills.

Paris did not expect herself to come here.

As the car drove into Beverly Hills, Paris was fascinated by all the opulent shops along the street.

Paris had been here before, but it felt totally different this time.

She felt that she was already on the edge of success.

“Mr. James, are we going to Mr. Steven’s house?”

“No, it’s Mr. Steven’s friend’s manor. Remember, it’s someone you definitely can’t mess with. If you enrage Mr. Steven, you’ll at most be kicked out of Hollywood, but if you enrage this sir, you might not even be able to stay in Los Angeles anymore.”
