Hannah was utterly stunned. "You're hiring me because you want perfection?"But she genuinely lacked experience!"I just feel you're perfect for it." Dennis also knew his words sounded unreliable. He explained, "It's about a person's temperament, do you understand?"He even added some mystical flare. "It's that kind of elegance and beauty. Gentle when smiling but reliable when cold!"Hannah genuinely didn't understand. People involved in the arts could be unbearable when overly sentimental. So, she didn't decline the offer to avoid Dennis' continuous flattery and for the movie's sake.After all, she was the sponsor. They could find someone else if it didn't work out.As a cynical middle-aged man in the arts industry, Dennis was usually easygoing and gentlemanly.But when it came to shooting, his voice could resonate throughout the entire set. He didn't even need a megaphone as he yelled at someone fiercely.This made Diana a bit uneasy whenever she saw him. Hearing that H
Misty, still in her filming attire, delicately adjusted the man's collar before her, saying gently, "The movie shooting is almost finished. Don't worry about me."The person in front of her was ... Robert?Hannah was surprised. How could Robert and Misty be in a relationship?"Don't tire yourself too much while filming on the set. Take care." Robert's eyes were affectionate as he gently ruffled her hair, showing some restraint."When you have time, I'll come to see you."Misty found his concern comforting, and she smiled lightly at his words.They reluctantly separated after a tight embrace. Misty stood in place for a while after Robert's figure disappeared.Until Robert's figure was no longer visible, Misty still stood in the same spot.After watching for a long while, she turned her head only to see Hannah standing not far away, looking at her calmly. Suddenly, a hint of guilt flashed across Misty's face."What did you see?" Misty's expression changed slightly. She said co
Perhaps Hannah stared for too long, and Misty's heart began to race.She started to panic. She managed a forced smile as she anxiously inquired, "What do you think?"What did she think? Who cared about their trivial matters?"Whatever you do, I don't care and don't want to care as long as you don't prance around in front of me," Hannah said, looking at her coldly.Upon hearing this, Misty's heart finally eased. A small smile appeared on her pure and beautiful face. She softly said, "That's settled then."She wasn't as annoying whenever she spoke nicely. She had a charming smile and a coy voice. Unfortunately, it was all fake. Hannah glanced at her, scanned her non-committally, and turned to leave.Behind her, Misty looked at her back with complex emotions. The feelings churned and gradually turned into a determination.Others were never reliable. In this world, it was always better to depend on yourself.…When Hannah returned home, the living room echoed with lively voice
"This ornament was bought when I shopped with my teacher. A Celestrian lady was selling them, and I heard it symbolized good luck. I thought of buying it for Hannah …"There were various gifts, some valuable, some just a few dollars. Each carried her heartfelt intentions. It seemed that everywhere she went, everything she saw reminded her of Hannah. Who could resist such thoughtfulness?Hannah's heart warmed at the gesture. She couldn't help but ruffle Nina's hair, saying, "That's so thoughtful of you."Naomi, who only brought back a bag of snacks from her travels, pouted in frustration. She couldn't believe she felt defeated by Nina! Nina, who usually remained quiet and shy, was unexpectedly thoughtful and knew how to win Hannah's heart."Did Nina get tired of bringing back so many gifts? I knew Nina was the most considerate. I really like the gifts she gave me," Kaden said as he smiled politely, looking at a frustrated Naomi. The gift he received was a branded pen. "I
Darren suddenly had a revelation. At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of a home.It seemed like what he had pursued throughout his life was a simple phrase: "I'm home."With long strides, he entered the living room's warm yellow light, leaving the entrance's dim and cold glow behind.Hannah's smile seemed to melt away the chill and exhaustion from outside."I'm back, Hannah," he said softly."Darren." Nina still looked shy, her eyes showing respect and awe.Carefully holding an exquisite gift box in front of him, she nervously said, "This is a gift I brought for you. I don't know if you will like it ..."A gift for him? He opened the box. It revealed a simple and elegant watch inside.Darren carefully examined it. The watch had a robust yet simple style, not overly flashy, but with a touch of freshness due to its green dial."If you don't like it, I can choose something else next time." Watching his expression closely, Nina said uncertainly, "I just thought it
"You have already accepted the trophies and certificates from Andrew and Nina. Shouldn't I present mine as well?" Darren stated, his eyes glancing discreetly at the still-empty display cabinet. He seemed somewhat aggrieved. Hannah couldn't help but find it amusing. "Mr. Winchester, why are you feeling jealous about this?"Her younger siblings' achievements were a form of acknowledgment and gratitude towards her; displaying them was her way of encouraging them. Could Darren's situation be compared?"As husband and wife, we share all our achievements. I'm giving all of these to you, including myself and my future," he declared, holding her hand and looking at her sincerely. His commitment was palpable, and Hannah couldn't help but be moved. After a moment of silence, she chuckled, "Mr. Winchester, you are …"It was a blend of childish jealousy and genuine solemnity, making her feel how much he cherished her."Well, later on, I'll place Mr. Winchester's items in the display cabi
"Is that so?" Hannah lowered her eyes, frowning slightly. She spoke softly, "Perhaps that's the case.""My makeup today is good. I'll use this look more in the future!" Diana responded.Seeing that Hannah didn't press for more information, Diana breathed a sigh of relief. She chuckled and quickly changed the subject. "Are you saying your friend wants to sign with a company? Do you have the details?""This isn't urgent. Taylor's young and hasn't made up her mind. She's considering entering the entertainment industry. I just mentioned it casually. "We can discuss it after she finishes the college entrance exams," Hannah said while smiling calmly.Initially, she had plans to recommend Taylor sign with Diana's company, but now she was hesitant. Signing with a company was crucial for an artist, and she wanted Taylor to avoid getting into trouble.Both of them met to discuss this matter, and now that Hannah expressed a sense of hesitation, Diana, surprisingly, didn't seem to min
Jake didn't understand the upper-class manners but felt Hannah and Diana were eye-pleasing.They looked so good that it made him feel inferior as if he was not up to their standard.It also made him want to bring them down and make them fall so they could no longer hold their head high.Because of this, he couldn't believe Hannah, who looked calm, would start swearing."I'm calling you scum, can't you understand?" Hannah patiently repeated.She sneered, "It seems even a deaf person can't make it in this world of lowlifes. It seems like the standards aren't that high these days."Her tone remained calm. Her elegant and charming demeanor made it look like she was conversing politely with someone. But her words were piercing and hurtful. "You foul bitch!" Jake grew furious and shouted, "You're looking for trouble!""Hannah, is it good to provoke them like this?" Diana's face turned pale. She anxiously lowered her voice, "These people don't listen to reason."What was happeni
