Jane gazed at his silent countenance and didn't dare to budge.

Damien lifted the collar, folded it neatly and draped it over his fragrant shoulders.

Jane noticed the crumpled collar and furrowed her brows. "What are you doing? The dress looks good with a collar."

"It looks too good for anyone else to appreciate," Damien muttered.

Jane couldn't hear him clearly. "What did you say?"

Damien shot her a glance. "It's pointless to dress up too much for them."

Jane was taken aback. If that was the case, why did he ask someone to give her this dress? "Shall we go?" Damien said.

He reached out to hold her hand, but hesitated and turned away instead.

Jane followed him outside.

In the car, Jane spoke up. "Can we pretend not to know each other tonight?"

"Hmm?" Damien replied nonchalantly.

"I believe our marriage will be a shock to everyone if it's made public, and it's not suitable for today's occasion," Jane explained.

Damien's eyes twinkled. "You make a valid point."

Jane smiled. "So do you agr

    The entrance was pushed open, and a masculine voice immediately sounded, "I always thought Damien was a dull person, but I never expected him to have such a sharp tongue. Those group of fools can't even speak up now, haha..."Jane's eyes narrowed, and she looked at Damien beside her, sensing the sudden drop in temperature in the room.Felix had his back to the entrance and was unaware that the door was open. He continued, "He only goes for women who are four years younger? You said Damien has never been with a woman. Is it because he's too boring to attract them? Ha ha..."Seeing Damien and his companions at the entrance, Tuchel gestured to Felix with raised eyebrows, covered his mouth and coughed softly.Felix didn't understand what he meant and spoke with disgust, "I'm leaving. Your health is terrible. You can still get sick in such great weather. Don't infect us."Tuchel regretted reminding this fool."Felix, Damien isn't boring. He's just showing off," Seth walked in through the e

    Felix turned his head and faced his icy glare, causing his entire body to shiver.Why did Damien seem to be staring at him more and more menacingly? He hadn't done anything wrong.Jane glanced at Damien, but he suddenly turned his back to her, so she couldn't discern his emotions.Seth shut the door and announced, "Please take a seat, everyone.""Of course, let's sit down," agreed Felix and the others, taking their seats one by one.Jane observed the individuals seated around the circular table. Apart from Felix, there were three men and one woman.Initially, two men and one woman cast a few glances at her, but then they lost interest.However, a bespectacled man in his thirties with a poised and tranquil demeanor continued to gaze at her. He met her eyes, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.Jane averted her gaze, intending to wait for everyone to sit down before finding an unoccupied seat."Come here," commanded Damien in a frigid tone.Felix, Tuchel, and others followed his gaze, th

    Felix was currently feeling guilty, so he was eager to please. He stood up and addressed Jane, "Greetings, Goddess. My name is Felix and I hold Damien in high regard. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best to assist you."After introducing themselves, Damien suggested they start eating. Everyone looked at him, wondering if he would explain his relationship with Jane, but he remained silent.Felix couldn't help but comment on the spicy and soy sauce-laden dishes. He remembered that Damien preferred lighter fare.Damien picked up a piece of salmon and dipped it in soy sauce before placing it in Jane's bowl. She was about to decline, but then someone's fork accidentally fell into her bowl.All eyes turned to Tuchel, who quickly apologized and looked embarrassed. His considerate behavior towards Jane made him appear creepy to Felix.He would prefer to believe that there was toxic substance in that dish, and Damien was intentionally poisoning him!No, Damien woul

    "Hey, why aren't you all consuming vegetables?" Emily, who had just returned from her phone call, looked up and saw everyone sitting in a daze, each lost in their own thoughts, feeling perplexed."Let's eat now." Bernard smiled faintly and sipped his wine.Emily pointed at the large Australian lobster in the center of the table, "I want to eat lobster, could you peel it for me?""Sure!" Bernard put down his wine glass, took a large lobster, and began to peel it.Emily watched his movements with a smile on her face.Suddenly, her eyes fell on Jane, and she smiled and said, "Jane, this lobster is quite delicious, have you ever tasted it before?"Jane was taken aback as she didn't expect Emily to speak to her.When she was a child, her family's financial status was average, and her family's money was spent on supporting her in various interest classes, so her standard of living was not very high.Later, her adoptive parents passed away one after another, and she had to pay for Jonathan's

    Felix was taken aback momentarily, feeling a bit remorseful, "That's all."It appeared that his attempt to please Damien by pleasing the goddess had failed.He placed the lobster onto a dish and sat down.Damien gazed at Jane, the chill in his eyes receding like a receding tide, and the oppressive atmosphere in the private room also dissipated."How can you know you're allergic if you haven't consumed it?" Emily suddenly spoke.Jane glanced at the girl beside her, who was slightly older than her, and sensed that she was hostile towards her."Tuk Tuk Tuk" the sound of fingertips tapping on the table suddenly rang out.Accompanied by the man's soft voice, "Have you spoken enough?"Although his tone was considered gentle, anyone who knew him well understood that as soon as the sound emerged, it meant that he was impatient and on the verge of losing his temper.Emily flinched, looked at his cold countenance, and immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak.Tuchel, Felix, and the oth

    Jane glanced at the meat in the bowl, picked it up and took a bite without saying a word. It was probably the most delicious dish she had tasted tonight. Damien's gentle voice sounded in her ear, "Who upset you? Don't keep it to yourself."Jane turned her head to meet Damien's light brown eyes and shook her head. "It's not that I'm upset."She knew that although these people smiled at her, they looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts. In their minds, she should be a little star that Damien had raised, and it was difficult for her to be considered elegant. That's why Emily made things difficult for her or tried to remind her of her status.She had anticipated this and had initially intended to pretend not to know Damien.Damien took another piece of meat for her and said, "Eat more. If you're full, you won't have supper tonight."Jane looked at the tenderness in his peach blossom eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She felt a strange emotion growing within her that she could

    What about that aspect? Emily was momentarily stunned, and her face twisted into an ugly expression. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I'm just like you?"A smile played at the corners of Jane's lips. "Looks like you're still a little naive.""What do you mean?" Emily felt belittled."Oh, nothing. Just that you don't understand much, so it's better to leave adult matters to the adults," Jane replied.Emily was furious. How dare this woman call her naive and treat her like a child!"If you try to stop me again, Damien won't be able to find me for a while. You wouldn't want to make him angry, would you?" Jane said innocently.Emily seethed with anger, but she didn't want to upset Damien."Just you wait!" she spat before storming off.Jane watched her go and couldn't help but smile. It felt good to act tough sometimes.When she returned to the private room, Damien's friends looked at her with admiration.Jane was confused. What had she done to deserve their admiration?"

    At the moment, Emily approached and inquired, "Where do we go to have fun now?"Felix regarded her with suspicion and replied, "Didn't you just leave?"Emily let out a soft scoff, "Do you plan to stay and face Damien's reprimand? Damien is the same; he didn't show me any regard for an outsider."Seth and the rest appeared solemn, indicating that the girl hasn't learned her lesson yet.Bernard uttered a helpless sigh, "The next time you encounter Jane, be more courteous. After all, she belongs to Damien. Today, Damien is genuinely angry."Emily didn't imagine that Damien would punish her for a woman.However, she has always been compliant before Bernard, and she nodded right away, "I understand.""Let's go. I'll drop you off at home.""Okay."At that moment, Jane and Damien had already boarded the car.Inside the car, Jane began to challenge Damien, "Didn't you agree to pretend that we don't know each other?""You only told me to pretend that I don't know you, not the other way around.

    After exiting the lift, Jane suddenly inquired, "Mr. Sala, who was that lady that welcomed you at the elevator entrance just now? She seems familiar!"Sala gazed at her intently, his eyes filled with confusion.Director Hisham followed closely behind and stated, "That's Manager Archana from the Design Department. She is a young and talented individual. She won the International Jewelry Design Award at the age of 21. Do you know her?"Jane smiled faintly, "She was my senior.""You're also an art major?" Director Hisham was slightly taken aback.Jane nodded, "Yes, but I dropped out of school.""That's a shame, otherwise we could have been colleagues." Director Hisham chuckled.Jane simply smiled and said nothing. At that time, she had a preference for oil painting, but she could also draw animes.Of course, she had tried her hand at jewelry design as well, since there was a design award with a substantial cash prize.Unfortunately, the design drawings she had created vanished, and when

    In the morning, at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) headquarters in Switzerland, Seth escorted Jane into the hall.Director Hisham immediately recognized them and greeted them, "Mr. Seth, Miss Jane.""Director Hisham, good morning. Why did you personally come to pick me up?" Seth asked with a smile."It's the least I could do." Director Hisham smiled back. "Please.""Thank you." Seth led Jane towards the elevator.After exiting the elevator, Jane followed Seth into the adjacent conference room and spotted a familiar figure.He was leaning against the door, engrossed in his phone conversation.Director Hisham approached him and said, "Mr. Baker, Mr. Seth and Ms. Jane have arrived."Sala Baker glanced up, his gaze landing on Seth and Jane. "Long time no see."Jane nodded in agreement, "Indeed, it's been a while."Seth looked at them both in surprise, "Do you two know each other?""We've met before," Jane explained.Seth accepted her answer without further inquiry.He patted Sal

    Paparazzi? Jane's expression changed slightly, she instinctively glanced around."Don't look, they're behind me." Anderson took off his coat and covered Jane's head, "Come with me."He grabbed Jane's wrist, and the two walked directly to the parking area.After entering the car, Anderson said, "I need to shake off the celebrity photographers first, so I can take you back to the hospital later.""It's alright." Jane's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked at Anderson, "Did they capture us just now?""They probably did, don't worry, I'll handle it." Anderson said reassuringly.Jane sensed that it wouldn't be as simple as he claimed. If the two of them were caught on camera together, the headlines would undoubtedly be unavoidable tomorrow.Although Anderson had only been in the industry for a few years, he had a significant following and a large fan base, especially among female fans.Anderson had a few rumored girlfriends in the past, and many of his fans didn't accept them.

    As per the schedule, Jane visited the recording studio the next morning.Anderson and Piper arrived early, causing Jane to feel a little embarrassed.After exchanging pleasantries, Jane began practicing singing, choosing a song from Piper's collection.While she sang, Anderson worked on the arrangement, while Piper listened carefully, pointing out any flaws in Jane's performance.After a morning of training, the trio enjoyed lunch together and continued practicing in the afternoon.At around five o'clock, Piper called a halt to the session, cautioning Jane that over-practicing could be detrimental to her voice.Jane agreed, suggesting they go out for dinner, with her offering to treat them.Anderson objected, wary of her spending too much, but Jane reassured him that she had recently secured an endorsement deal.To ensure privacy, they dined at a restaurant owned by Anderson's friend, with Jane focusing the conversation on Anderson and Piper's recent work.Noticing Anderson's hectic s

    Piper asked again, "Is he the guy you mentioned that you have feelings for?"Jane replied without hesitation, "No.""Don't lie to me, if someone is so into me, I'll definitely fall for him too." Piper didn't believe her.Jane went silent and said, "What if the person is a middle-aged man in his 50s with acne scars all over his face, would you still love him?"Piper was at a loss for words.After a while, she reluctantly said, "But he's tall and has a good physique.""That's just his back, you haven't seen his face." Jane said seriously.To convince Piper, she had to feel sorry for Damien."Fine, but don't hate on netizens, or they'll accuse you of being ungrateful." Piper warned."Don't worry, I won't." Jane assured her."I've made up my mind, I'll teach you how to sing starting tomorrow, and Anderson is also here, we'll meet at the usual place." Piper said."Okay."Jane hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief. She had managed to deceive Piper, or else she would have pried furt

    In the morning, Jane sat in the hospital poring over the two scripts Seth had given her.At noon, Duke called her and once again delivered her meal.Taking the bag from Duke, Jane asked out of habit, "Have Damien eaten?"Realizing her mistake, she forced a smile and thanked him.As she walked towards the gate with the bag, Duke reported to his boss, "I suspect the Madam may call to inquire about your lunch later."Jane knew she couldn't call Damien, as she didn't want to reveal her feelings for him.She couldn't even pinpoint when she had developed feelings for him - was it when he had rushed to her side after she fell on set, or when he had defended her from criticism in the parking lot?Or was it simply because he was handsome and wealthy, like many women were attracted to?She didn't know."Jane, the mushrooms fell on the table," Jonathan interrupted her thoughts with a frown.Jane quickly cleaned up the mess, but Jonathan could tell something was bothering her.Although she denied

    Shortly after arriving at the medical center, Seth called Jane with some good news."I have some great news for you. IOC has agreed to endorse you."Jane was taken aback for a moment, then passed the peeled apple to Jonathan, and wiped her hands with a piece of paper."Okay.""I'll come to pick you up the day after tomorrow to sign the contract.""Sure!" Jane replied."By the way, I have already uncovered the Ciara fan responsible for throwing concentrated sulfuric acid on you."Jane was a little surprised and asked, "So, am I trending again?""Without a doubt!""Okay."

    Jane was preoccupied, unable to sleep properly at night, and had a dream during the latter half of the night.In the dream, she clung to a man's body, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him passionately.In a daze, she opened her eyes and saw the man's face clearly. Her expression changed dramatically, and she pushed him away abruptly.Jane suddenly woke up in bed, rubbed her head, and recollected the dream with an irritated expression on her face.What was going on? Why did she keep having such dreams lately? After lying down for a while, she sat up and checked her phone. It was already late.She got out of bed, went to the bathroom to freshen up, changed her attire, and headed downstairs.As she reached the stairs, she spotted Damien walking out of his room. Her expression altered slightly, and she looked away before rushing down the stairs.Just as Damien was about to speak to her, he saw her hastening downstairs. He smirked, was she still shy? he thought.At the dining t

    Jane emerged from the shower and lay on the bed, suddenly recollecting how Seth had asked her to prepare a song.After pondering over it, she contacted Piper.Piper's lively voice answered the phone, "Hey girl.""It's quite late, I hope I didn't disturb you and your partner.""No, not at all. Tell me, what can I do for you?""I have progressed in the "Voice of Dreams" program, and I want to select one of your songs."The only songs she felt comfortable singing were those by Piper and Anderson."That's not a problem. We can discuss it when you perform. I'm not too busy these days, so I can give you some guidance.""In a week or two.""Okay, then I'll make plans to meet up with you."Jane sensed that Piper was about to hang up the phone and quickly said, "Piper, I have a private question.""Sure, go ahead."Jane hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a friend who is going through a difficult time lately.
