Jessica came out of the shower and saw the soaked bed. She froze for two seconds and turned to glare at Flora, "You did this?""Yes!"Flora sat on her own bed, removed her makeup and then put on a mask. She crossed her arms proudly over her chest, "I did it. What are you going to do? Are you going to tell the crew or kick me out?"Jessica let out a breath and couldn't help but curl her lips and lament. Although it might be late, Flora's knack for making trouble never let her down.She tried to calm herself down, then picked up her luggage, turned to go out, and slammed the door with violence.It wasn’t that she didn't want to argue with her.Whether she asked the crew to get another room or whatever, this little trick of Flora's was not likely to screw her up. But it was already 2:00 am.Jessica was exhausted, and so were the rest of the crew. They had never been idle or taken a break from morning to night.Now, they could finally rest for a few hours and had to start recording
"If you have to do this, I'd rather go feed the mosquitoes!"Christian paused, and his face turned rigid. In her eyes, he was worse than a mosquito...Jessica took the opportunity to push him away, grabbed her blanket and got out of bed, about to sleep on the floor."What do you want?" Christian frowned."We're sleeping separately until you make it clear to me." Jessica made up her mind to draw a clear line with him.Christian looked helpless. He could only explain after thinking for a moment, "I told you that woman is called Grace, and because the overseas business of Maddox Group involves her father's..."Jessica raised her hand to interrupt him, "Stop. I don't care if you're having an affair."Her words also provoked Christian. She didn't care if he was having an affair, so why was he still here to care about her...He forced himself not to lose his temper, "Then what do you care?"Hearing this, Jessica raised her bright eyes, "Why don't you let me investigate about my fath
If it wasn't for Flora's iconic, affectedly sweet voice, everyone on the film crew would have to wonder if the woman standing in front of them had been switched..."How... how did you get your face like this?" The director was taken aback.Flora couldn't wait to hide herself and stammered, "I... I'm allergic...""What are you allergic to get your face like this?" The people around her said worriedly.She was probably allergic to the air!A light flashed in Jessica's eyes as she remembered the missing honey in that bottle in her backpack.This stupid woman hadn't applied her honey as a skincare product on her face, had she?She couldn't help but want to laugh, and she suddenly felt it lucky for forgetting to take the honey out with her last night...The director winked at the photographer who specialized in filming Flora; then the photographer hastily took pictures of Flora's face and brought the camera closer to capture the details.What a great gimmick!How true!The female
Jessica walked forward and reminded the group leader of the following processes. After she communicated with the leader simply, she slowed her stride and thus Christian and she walked side by side.She asked casually, "Are you OK?""Um?"Christian turned around and the sweat at the end of his hair went flying. Jessica was worried. She took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to him."My luggage is too heavy. If you can't hold on, I will ask someone to help you."Christian took the handkerchief from her hand and cheered up immediately. He smiled faintly, "I can handle it." Then he walked forward to lead the way.Mask looked at Christian's and Jessica's backs back and forth.Suddenly, Mask was interrupted by a female voice behind him. "Stop looking at them. There is something that doesn't belong to you and you won't be able to get."He turned around and saw Flora whose face was swollen. He was reluctant to talk with her."How about you cooperate with me? We can help
After Plan B was finally determined, it was already past midnight. Jessica went back to her room to take a quick shower and then went to bed.As soon as she opened the door, Jessica saw a tall man standing up from the sofa, stumbling towards her."Mask! Are you alright?”Jessica thought Mask might be sick, because he walked staggeringly and his face was very red. It looked like there was something wrong with him.Mask did not answer. Hearing Jessica’s voice, the man found it harder to control himself... Mask’s pupils dilated with a note of danger, like a fire was lit up and burning in his eyes.Until this moment, Jessica realized the seriousness of the situation. She backed off hurriedly."Mask! What are you doing?"Mask had entirely lost his mind. His consciousness totally drifted away. Seeing the goddess he adored stepping backwards, Mask tried desperately to approach her."Mask! Mask!"Jessica shouted loudly. Mask had come very close to her. In the dim light, Jessica came t
The location of this storage room was very remote, which was behind the temporary venue set up by the crew.It was pitch-dark outside. Jessica walked around faster and remembered Mask, who was still in her room.Although it was hard to explain why he was in her room in the middle of the night, she couldn't care about him right now.Only after she went out and created evidence that she wasn't in her room would Mask have a chance to prove himself.The yards were built just outside the jungle where they were recording the show. The crew also planned to convert them into B&B after the recording so as to thrive the business with the influence of them.But after all, it was a temporary construction. Although the decoration inside the room was okay, the roads around the outside were still very muddy and overgrown with weeds. Some of the trees on the road had not been trimmed, and the roads were twisted.Jessica wanted to walk around the yards to the front gate, but because of panic, she
‘Why would I be nervous if it was not a venomous snake? Silly girl.’Seeing Jessica tense up without blinking, Christian thought she was scared silly. He softened his tone to soothe her. "It's okay. I don’t think the snake should be venomous. I have also given you emergency treatment..."Before he could finish his words, Jessica stretched her slender arms and suddenly held him tightly, burying her head in his neck.Christian froze for a second. This was the first time Jessica had taken the initiative to hug him.A smile spread over his face. He reached out and caressed her back. "What's wrong? I am with you. Don’t be afraid."Jessica shook his head and kept silent.Through their thick raincoats, she could still feel Christian’s strong heartbeat. His warm chest reassured her. She had not had that warm feeling for a long time. "I never expect to be bitten by a snake once again in the wild twenty years later..."Christian said in a deep voice with a smile, "It is not the same thing
Jessica had never been so docile in Christian's arms before. She was not moving and looking at him with all her eyes.'No wonder I felt that his face seemed familiar occasionally, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him before...''It turns out that I met him as a child...'No wonder Christian knew that she was allergic to the shrimp shell but liked shrimp very much. During the summer camp, in order to save the injured Jessica, Christian was left behind with Jessica in the trees.Before they got saved, they had been hungry in the trees for a whole day. The first meal for them after being saved was prepared by the hospital. One of the dishes was the shrimp...At that time, she faced the aggressive Christian and said timidly, "I want to eat the shrimp, but I'm allergic to the shrimp shell. Could you please help me peel the shrimp shell?"She still remembered his surprised and reluctant expression.However, why did she mistake him for someone else?"Oh my God!"Suddenly, Jes
The next day, Jessica went to work in the TV station. Her assistant reported the recent schedule to her.Jessica listened for a while, raised her head and asked, "Didn't you say that I needed to prepare for Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve next week?"The assistant said in a hurry, "It occurs to me... It may be changed. We'd better delay the preparation in case you will prepare for it in vain...""What's the matter?" Jessica frowned slightly."I have arranged for someone to investigate and haven't gotten the exact news yet. It is said that the organizers of Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve have changed their minds and will invite Adela to replace you...," the assistant said."Adela?"Gail was drinking coffee and writing the plan in Jessica's office. When Gail heard that, she stood up and said anxiously, "Adela has just made a comeback. Even though she becomes popular slightly, how can she replace Jess in the image or influence?""It is said that Adela's remuner
[It's because I think my acting skills are not worthy of your script.]Jessica replied seriously.Hawley became anxious and replied without punctuation. [Don't worry I will try my best to help you and won't urge you]Jessica paused and replied with a smile. [I haven't finished speaking. Hold on. Since you have waited for a long time, please give me some time if you don't mind. I would like to find an acting teacher and learn how to act. After I'm sure that I can play the role, I will join in your movie. How is it?]Recently, more films and TV dramas started inviting Jessica. Many of them had great investments and groups. Jessica obviously felt that the current situation was pushing her to change.It was impossible for her to reject all of them, but she couldn't shoot all the films or TV dramas with the attitude as if she was doing a guest appearance. She would better be prepared before she met the chances. If so, she would be more confident.Hawley paused. It took him some time t
The next afternoon, when it was time for Jessica to get off work, Hawley arrived at the appointed time.Jessica took him to the nearest restaurant to the TV station. She said with a smile, "It's not a high-end restaurant. Just order expensive dishes."Hawley also smiled, "Expensive dishes do not necessarily taste good!""Having said that, I would like to thank you. Expensive dishes can show my sincerity at least," Jessica said.Hawley put down the menu, looked at her and said seriously, "If you would like to thank me, how about consider my invitation seriously? I want to invite you to be the heroine in my first movie!"Hawley was sincere. He looked passionate and vigorous for his first movie. It was hard for Jessica to refuse."Have you drawn your inspiration in France?" She didn't refuse him directly but changed the topic.Hawley said seriously, "I have spent three years on the script. When I studied abroad, I wrote it with my best friend. I almost finish it recently. I believe
Griffin kept his promise.The next day after Jessica's return, Jakesville TV Station put the interview of GL's successor, Neil, on the air. Meanwhile, everyone received the email that announced Gail's promotion to senior editor.The directors in their team were all delighted. People from their sister teams also urged Gail to treat them to dinner. Gail agreed generously and decided to throw a party to celebrate her promotion in the evening. *After several rounds of wine, Gail was giddy with delight and tipsy. With a goblet in her hand, she sat beside Jessica and grinned. "Jess, I owe my promotion to you. I've racked my brains but still know not how to express my gratitude… How about I leave my paycheck to you?" Jessica couldn't help but giggle.She poked Gail's forehead. "Are you going to marry me?""Look, this is all that I can give. Then again, you're not short of money. Tell me what I should do."Jessica looked at Gail's tender, pursed lips and wrapped her arm around
At sea, the anxious Christian calmed down and was relieved finally. He took off his coat and wrapped her up tightly.She looked at him and asked, "Why did you come here?"Christian compressed his thin lips and reached out to smooth her hair beside her ears. It was a little messy because of the wind.Christian had arranged for someone to protect her since she pissed off GL's Neil in France. The nobles all knew that GL's Neil was malicious, especially for beautiful women.As soon as Christian's men reported to Christian that Jessica suddenly bought an air ticket and went abroad alone, Christian guessed that she was going to deal with Neil.Christian was afraid that Jessica would be unable to deal with Neil. He didn't have any time to care about other things and followed Jessica to come to France.Luckily, he arrived in time. Otherwise, even if Jessica dealt with Neil, she would be unable to deal with Jerome. Jerome was not a man to be trifled with."Don't take risks again! If you
As Jerome confronted him coldly, Christian's narrowed eyes slid out of focus for a second.Soon, he collected himself, and ferocity suppressed the gloom in his eyes. "Before I figure out the entire thing, I'll keep her out of harm's way! Even if someone tells her the truth one day, it has to be me and not you! You'd better stay away from her!" Jerome's face also turned gloomy. "I was not interested in her or those trivial matters in the past, but destiny guided me to meet her. Then I find that those matters are pretty interesting…And the more annoyed you are, the more interesting I find it… Besides, you stole my lines. The one who should stay away from her is you!" "Don't bother. This is between my wife and me," Christian declared his sovereignty once again.Jerome looked askance at Christian. His gloomy voice became huskier and more horrifying. "If she knew the truth, do you think she would still believe you?"Christian knitted his brows as he exhorted in a
"Christian?"Jessica spun around and did a double take, mixed delight and incredulity in her eyes.Christian made his way to her and took her by the hand. "You're still recovering. How could you run around like this?"Christian's voice was steely. Though he was speaking to Jessica, it was the man opposite her that his piercing eyes flashed at.At this moment, the bodyguards outside the cabin hurried inside all at once. One of them bowed to Jerome and explained apologetically, "Mr. Garan, he's brought some men here... We failed to stop them..."Jerome waved his hand testily and, restraining his annoyance, rose to his feet and looked at Christian. "Nice to see you again, Mr. Maddox." Though his words were a greeting, his face were rather tight."I heard only a few days ago that there's some turbulence going on in the Garan family. It surprises me Mr. Garan is still in the mood for partying," Christian said acidly."Oh, you're pretty well-informed, Mr. Maddox!" Jerome remarked with
"I'm just a nobody, and all I want is for the job to be done in a peaceful fashion. I have no reason to work against you on my own initiative unless you leave me no choice, don't you think?" Jessica said, her face bland.Having no alternative but to resign himself to accepting it, Neil said testily, "Fine! Get it over with!"A smile curled Jessica's lips as her beautiful eyes moved to the outline for the interview on the sofa. "Speak according to the outline and answer my every question. Here we go."Watching Neil obediently pick up the interview outline with resentment etched on his face, Jessica snickered and turned on her digital recorder.**Twenty minutes later, the interview came to a successful end.Having obtained what she wanted, Jessica operated the digital recorder for a moment and then stowed it in her handbag.Neil had had enough of it. He hurled the interview outline she'd given him to the floor and, springing to his feet testily, blustered, "I see any of those pho
Neil's eyes glittered with alarm at the sight of the picture on Jessica's phone, the corners of his mouth twitching in spite of himself.On the sofa he'd been sitting a moment ago sat a couple of female models. Neil glared over his left shoulder and then the right one at the girls and thundered, "Beat it!""Neil..."A charming girl, unwilling to leave, walked over and, holding his hand, said, "Where do you want us to go?""Get out of my sight! Now!" Neil stormed shiftily.His bawl brought all the girls trotting out helter-skelter...Jessica, taking advantage of the opportunity, took back her phone and unhurriedly put it into her handbag in the presence of Neil."Let's go somewhere else to talk," Neil said to Jessica, rising to his feet and leading the way for the door.Jessica remained where she was. With a smile that never reached her eyes, she said, "I thought you liked the lively atmosphere in this place."The corners of Neil's mouth twitched and he snapped, "It's not every
