Chapter 153

Nancy looked at Judson, who was all serious, and couldn't resist teasing him. "So, how exactly are you planning to sell your charms? You're not thinking of, I don't know, using the casting couch, are you?" Judson blushed at her words, a shy smile on his face. "Nancy, am I that kind of man without any morals? I'd only sell myself to you. At most, I'd just flash a charming smile at Neil."

Nancy internally rolled her eyes, dismissing the idea with a silent chuckle.

"No, you're not, and I don't need you to sell yourself," she thought.

"I'm serious, Nancy," Judson insisted, his eyes fixed on her with genuine intensity. "Don't worry, I can take care of you."

Anyone could see he wasn't joking. His clear eyes met hers with a sincerity that was hard to ignore.

"I don't need you to. I have plenty of money to buy my own house," Nancy said, her heart racing a little as she avoided his gaze. She reached into the drawer for some ointment to apply to Judson's bruises. "So, Nancy can take care of me? We could move somewhere new!" Judson's face lit up with excitement. Nancy felt a weight lift from her heart, nodding slightly. "Yes, we could move somewhere else. Besides, haven't I been supporting you all along?"

She thought of her collaborations with companies like NY and Baldrick, and her studio's profits over the years. Buying a couple of prime-location houses wasn't out of reach.
