The richest actor in Hollywood.

Leaving the hotel, Matthew and Adriana Lima crossed a street to reach Copacabana Beach. Perhaps it's the carefree nature of Brazilians, not only was the beach full of bikini-clad Latin girls, but the nearby streets were also dotted with them.

Entering the beach area, Adriana Lima led Matthew to an open-air bar. She casually tipped the owner to ensure they received a range of services.

"For Brazilians," Adriana Lima said, undoing the copper buttons on her denim shorts without heading to a changing room. As she slipped off her shorts, she added, "These bartenders are trusted friends."

She threw her shorts onto a chair and pulled off her tight T-shirt, transforming into a sexy beach girl in just half a minute. She seemed used to this, like most Brazilian girls, not caring about undressing in public.

Adriana Lima didn't mind, and as a man, Matthew cared even less. He quickly stripped off his large shorts and T-shirt, revealing a well-toned physique.

Though June is winter in Rio de Janeiro, the midday sun was warm enough, almost hot.

A female bartender collected their clothes in a sealed bag for safekeeping.

Copacabana Beach is one of the most famous beaches in New York, but changing rooms are scarce along the kilometers of beach. Many beachgoers either come wearing bikinis or change wherever they find space.

Of course, many use similar beach bars.

"You have an amazing figure," Matthew complimented Adriana Lima, her yellow swimsuit barely covering anything. "Your proportions are perfect."

Faced with a model of this caliber, most Hollywood actresses' figures pale in comparison. He now understood why Leonardo DiCaprio favored models, especially Victoria's Secret Angels.

These models are eye-catching and not the skeletal type; they offer top-level enjoyment in more ways than one.

There seemed to be many Victoria's Secret Angels. If his schedule allowed, should he attend the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show every year?

"Shall we sunbathe on the beach?" Matthew suggested, pointing to the blue ocean. Seeing Adriana Lima nod, he took her hand and walked toward the beach chair area near the bar. They walked hand-in-hand, like an intimate couple.

The beach was crowded, but few paid attention to Matthew and Adriana Lima.

People here love to celebrate, preferring to be outdoors rather than staying at home. Their festivities start in the morning, and regardless of age, they don't use umbrellas or foldable beds. They find a spot on the silver, soft sand and let the sun bathe them, enjoying the sun, sand, and sea breeze.

Rio de Janeiro is full of beautiful women of various skin tones, making it a feast for the eyes.

Most Brazilian girls wear simple, bold, and sexy clothes, exposing their golden bronze skin to the sun, which gleams alluringly. Seeing shirtless men or bikini-clad women on the streets of Rio de Janeiro is common. If you appeared in designer clothes, they'd probably think you're out of place.

Especially on Copacabana Beach, the density of bikinis, the abundance of beautiful women, and the sizzling heat and allure even impressed Matthew, who was used to Hollywood. Like Adriana Lima, their bikinis had minimal fabric.

In many places, you "look at the butt through the swimsuit," but for Adriana Lima and other Brazilian girls, you "look at the swimsuit through the butt."

Matthew found two good beach chairs, and Adriana Lima took out sunscreen from her bag. Matthew immediately offered, "Let me help you."

Having a Hollywood star apply sunscreen was a treat.

Adriana Lima smiled, "Sure."

She lay face down on the beach chair, unfastened her bikini top, and exposed her entire back to Matthew.

Matthew applied sunscreen to Adriana Lima's back and suddenly whispered in her ear, "Darling, you're too tempting. How about we..."

Even for a passionate Brazilian girl, this startled Adriana Lima. She sat up immediately, staring at Matthew, "Are you crazy?"

Matthew shrugged, "Lima, your body is incredible," he smiled and added, "And your skills are top-notch."

Years of modeling had given Adriana Lima remarkable flexibility, allowing her to perform many incredible movements.

"Thank you," Adriana Lima accepted Matthew's compliment.

"Turn back," Matthew gestured. When Adriana Lima lay back down, he continued applying sunscreen and remembered a GQ interview. "I read your interview recently, where you said..."

He paused deliberately. Adriana Lima was not embarrassed and said directly, "You're talking about the GQ interview."

Before Matthew could ask, she said, "The modeling industry is fiercely competitive. Models with similar attributes to mine are everywhere. In Victoria's Secret alone, many have similar qualities."

This was true, and Matthew agreed with Adriana Lima's view.

Adriana Lima adjusted her position slightly and continued, "As a model, how can you leave an impression? Is it the catwalk? The figure? The face? So, I needed to establish a unique label for myself, something that made me stand out."

She laughed, "Whether it's true or not doesn't matter. It benefits me greatly. Coming from a Catholic family, having such a label gives me higher recognition."

Having shared deep conversations with Adriana Lima the previous night and today, Matthew knew the so-called virginity claim was just talk.

Reflecting on it, the basic quality of a model is to be able to change clothes publicly. Many would casually sleep around to get ahead, and the modeling industry is even more chaotic than Hollywood.

Besides, Adriana Lima had previously been involved in Ronaldo's marriage, leading to his divorce...

Matthew shook his head, not wanting to think about it further. He wasn't looking to make Adriana Lima his girlfriend.

In the following days, Matthew took a break from work and spent more time in Rio de Janeiro. On his last day before returning to Los Angeles, he stayed in the hotel suite with Adriana Lima, having thorough and in-depth interactions.

From Adriana Lima, Matthew experienced the visual and physical enjoyment a supermodel could offer. Their meticulously sculpted bodies were something most Hollywood actresses couldn't match. Over the past few years, he had neglected the modeling world too much.

Thinking about it, Leonardo DiCaprio knew better which women could bring greater enjoyment.

Victoria's Secret Angels shouldn't be exclusively for Leonardo DiCaprio.

Besides the last day, Adriana Lima also took Matthew to various famous spots in Rio de Janeiro. He fully experienced the laid-back Latin lifestyle.

The people here are passionate and relaxed, making it the perfect place for a vacation.

Of course, safety is a priority. The income gap here is staggering, and crime and violence are rampant.

As a Hollywood star with ambitions for greater fame and fortune, Matthew couldn't stay in Rio de Janeiro for long. He soon ended his brief relationship with Adriana Lima and returned to Los Angeles to prepare for the upcoming charity auction.

The auction, combined with the launch of the Matthew Horner Refugee Foundation and the Matthew Horner Children's Charity Foundation, would be a formal event.

Although he had been a hands-off boss for a while, Amanda's coordination ensured everything was ready.

"All the items for auction have been cataloged, and we've created a detailed guide," Amanda said, sitting on the office sofa. "Each guest at the dinner will receive a catalog, encouraging generous donations."

Matthew was pleased with Amanda's preparations.

Amanda continued, "Besides celebrities, Helen has contacted many well-known journalists from mainstream media. Although we limit photography, they've agreed to attend."

Such high-profile events shouldn't be covered by sites like TMZ, which would lower the event's prestige.

Matthew pondered and asked, "Have you reserved seats?"

"Yes, I've considered that," Amanda nodded. "We might have uninvited celebrities show up, so I've reserved seats for them."

A highly anticipated charity auction wouldn't turn away even enemies publicly.
