Jenny hesitated for a moment, then showed a hint of embarrassment. "I didn't expect you to enjoy this kind of performance too."
Frank: ...
"Come with me!"
He reached out, grabbing Jenny's wrist, and limped towards the exit.
After Frank bringing her outside, Jenny stopped in her tracks and shook off his grip: "What are you doing?"
Frank: "That's my question! What are you doing here?"
"Having fun."
Frank: ...
"What kind of fun? What's so entertaining about this? Look at those men up there, all of them are just gigolos, is your taste really this low now?!"
Jenny looked puzzled. "My taste is my business, why are you so worked up?"
She looked at Frank, then slowly said, "Frank, are you jealous?"
Frank choked.
Then, as if hearing something funny, he chuckled. "Are you out of your mind? Why would I be jealous? I'm just..." He paused, then continued, "I'm just fulfilling a sense of responsibility
"Almost there." Tony, propping up his chin, glanced out the window with a hint of a smile on his handsome face. "There, we've arrived." Everyone immediately leaned towards the window, gazing outside. After passing through a vast expanse of greenery, the car finally stopped by a grassy area on the outskirts. As they got out of the car and looked at the massive building in front of them, they stood rooted to the spot, utterly amazed. Anthony exclaimed, "Is that a... prison?" Ben also froze for a moment. But he quickly realized, "I get it, Ramingo. You want me to see the daily lives of the inmates here firsthand, to deepen my understanding of the characters, right?" "Exactly." Ramingo looked at them, "Let's go in. The warden here is a big fan of Tony. We've been in contact for a long time, and he said it's feasible for us to bring Ben over." "Oh." Ben followed behind, feeling puzzled.
"I'll come to see you regularly too," Leo said, looking at him with a pained expression, "While you're here, work on improving yourself. We look forward to seeing a new you when you get out." Ben: ??? "F*ck off! I'm not really in prison, stop making it sound like I am!" "Ben, this is your script and character setup." Tony took out a bundle of sealed scripts and handed them to him through the bars, "This is the initial version of the script. The final script will be written later, but the core setup and storyline should remain the same." Tony looked at him seriously, "During this time, study hard in prison. Ramingo and I will come to check on your progress from time to time. If you improve quickly, you might not have to stay for three months." "Well, Tony, Ramingo, rest assured, I won't let you down!" Ben held the script, his handsome face filled with determination. "Alright, I'll be waiting for your performance."
"You better forget about it." Diana reached out, snatching the business card from Tony's hand. She grabbed Mitbahl by the collar, pulling him aside, giving him a glance. "You're my bodyguard, who said you could take on side jobs?" Mitbahl snapped out of his dream, awakening from the fantasy of sudden wealth. Instantly, a look of defeat washed over his face. Right. He has a proper job. If he sneaks off to take on side gigs, he'll probably get sliced into pieces by the big boss. Seeing his excitement, Tony looked puzzled. "You work for John, you shouldn't be short on money, right? How much do you make a month?" "A hundred grand." "Pfft~" Diana almost spat out her water. This was the first time she'd heard about Mitbahl's monthly salary, and it was that high?! Tony was also puzzled. "With such a high salary, why do you need side jobs?" "But after the organization's captain de
Frank scanned the room. "Jenny! Jenny..." Just as he was about to call out again, he spotted Jenny sitting on the couch in the living room, holding a glass of water, looking at him with astonishment. Completely unscathed. Nothing seemed amiss. "Frank?!" Jenny was momentarily stunned, then she hurried over, placing the glass down and approaching him quickly. She looked at Frank, visibly relieved, then glanced down at Neo on the ground, disbelief written all over her face. "What... what are you doing?" Frank's tense heart finally relaxed. "You're okay..." "What could happen to me here?" Jenny looked at him incredulously, then crouched down, looking at Neo on the ground, concern evident in her voice. "Neo... are you okay?" "I'm fine..." Neo hugged his leg, a pained expression on his handsome face. Jenny's anger flared. She glared at Frank fiercely. "Frank, what on ear
Mitbahl wiped his tears and rushed to Diana's side. "Madam, he insulted me!" Diana said, "Um... that doesn't seem like an insult. You are pretty effeminate, after all." Mitbahl: ...Right. Neo scanned the room's occupants, then pulled out his phone. "You wait here! I'm calling the cops right now!" "Well..." Jenny reached out and pulled him back. "Neo, I'm sorry. They're all my friends, and they were just worried about me since I wasn't answering my phone. They acted impulsively." Neo paused, then slowly put away his phone after a glance at Mitbahl and Diana. "I'll let you two go, but..." His gaze shifted to Frank. "He not only broke in but also hit me. He owes me an apology!" "What? Me apologize to you? Dream on!" Frank exploded. Neo was furious. "How can Jenny be friends with someone like you? You're just a jerk!" "Heh, I'm not her friend, I'm her childhood friend, her crush even!" Frank retorted. "Shut
As John stood, he spotted a slender figure sneaking into the villa. His handsome brows furrowed slightly. "Little girl." Diana: ...I've been caught after all. She stiffened, slowly turning around. Her unadorned face was delicate and elegant, her smile gentle. "Wow~ I just went downstairs for a stroll, and here you are back already. It's like we're telepathic~" "It's eleven at night, are you sure it's just a stroll?" Diana: ... John walked over quickly, looking at her somewhat helplessly. "Where have you been?" "...Just went out for a bit, but don't worry, Mitbahl was with me." Seeing the guilty look in her eyes, John sighed, "Did you get into a fight?" "No!" Diana immediately raised her hand, looking sincere, "I swear, I didn't lay a finger on anyone this time, it was Frank who got physical!" John's phoenix-like eyes narrowed, "Frank was there too?" Um...
By the time Diana hung up with John, all her discontent had vanished. She sat on the bed, clicking her tongue a couple of times. Since becoming pregnant, with the passing of time, she seemed to become more emotional. And John, he was getting better at soothing her. After regaining her composure, Diana picked up her phone and began scrolling through the latest entertainment news. Ben's acting training had ended a few days ago, wondering how it went. At the beginning, she occasionally received calls from Ben, crying and howling, saying he would break out of prison or hang himself with spaghetti. He just couldn't stay still. But after the second month, Ben went silent. Word was, he had started to adapt. She searched for news about Ben on her phone. The first trending topic was about him. She clicked on it. It was a photo from the Hollywood movie "Pacific" opening ceremony. Th
"Wesley, despite your background as a singer, you show tremendous potential in acting. I believe if you keep at it, your future is boundless!" Wesley gave a modest smile. "Thank you, Director Brand." "But what surprised me the most is Leah!" Brand's eyes sparkled. "When Wood insisted on casting a newcomer, I hesitated, thinking it would be difficult to find my ideal leading lady. But you, Leah, exceeded my expectations!" He turned to Leah. "Leah, besides you, no one else could play the female lead in this film." This praise from Brand was immense, enough to make any newcomer ecstatic. But Leah's mind was more focused on her paycheck. With the shoot wrapped, according to her contract, she could finally collect her full payment! Leah smiled faintly, offering polite words of gratitude. "Thank you for your praise, Director." The atmosphere in the private room was lively, everyone basking in the joy o
