Jessica arrived home and rested. The next day, she went to the TV station for work normally."Why are you here? Don’t you need to rest?" Gail asked with concern."That snake is not venomous, so I don’t need to rest. I just caught a cold."Jessica fluttered her eyelashes and said, "And the program guest needs to be changed. We have to finalize the new guest as soon as possible.""That’s right!"Gail came closer and asked Jessica, "Did you hear this morning's news? All the hotels and bars belonging to Flora's family were closed down! It is said that they are all suspected of illegal operations... Did you report them to the police?""That is basically right."Jessica replied with a smile, "But my original plan was not so ruthless. Someone is more ruthless than me.""Why are you soft on that crazy woman? She deserves your ruthless treatment!"Gail was indignant. "Just now, the station informed us that Flora has been officially listed as a tainted star, so we do have to find someon
Gail, who was next to Jessica, burst into laughter.Adam was embarrassed because of Jessica's pause. He almost couldn't keep the hypocritical smile on his face.Jessica didn't bother to look at him. "What do you want?""Today is Valentine's Day, Jess."Jessica frowned slightly, suggested he drop the act and urged, "Come on. Go ahead. Don't insult Valentine's Day."Adam coughed and was stuck for words. He could only pull himself together and stand up straight. "Jess, I have something to tell you in private."Gail looked at Jessica. Jessica signaled to Gail not to worry and wait aside.Adam tried his best to smile sincerely, "Jess, I have booked your favorite restaurant. Let's have a meal together."Jessica refused directly, "I'm busy.""I know you're busy, but you have to eat. How about we find a restaurant nearby? I have something to tell you.""What is it? Why can't you tell me here?"Adam sighed, "Jess, I know you're reluctant to forgive me for the time being. It's OK that
"Hmm?"Jessica blinked, "What's the trending topic?"She hadn’t caused any trouble in the past two days, right? What was so unexpected?She took a suspicious look at Gail's phone and then gasped.Gail teased on the other side, "Who taught Adam writhing in elementary school? The essay he wrote is pretty decent!""It seems your brother really screwed up his family badly enough. This unlucky kid came to you with a difficult task, otherwise how could he write such an emotional essay?"On Twitter, Adam posted a long article.It was very long ...He started with his encounter with Jessica and also wrote about their sweet memories, and even asked many influential users to retweet it to hype it up.Taking advantage of the special day of Valentine's Day, for a while, this article of a captain, who had made a mistake, begging his ex-girlfriend to get back together, quickly became a trending topic.The netizens discussed from whether the scum deserves to be forgiven, to the change of wo
Soon after Jessica hung up the phone, Christian sent a message, "I'll pick you up after work tonight."Thinking back to Christian asking her "what's the trending topic" on the phone, she suddenly couldn't help but laugh."What are you looking at, and why are you smiling so sweetly?" Gail teased her.Jessica put her phone aside and ran her fingers through her hair, "I just feel sweet."Gail rolled her eyes at her, "But seriously, you should try for the Best Hosts award. Mr. Maddox is very fond of you, and just by that, it should be very easy for you to win!"Seeing that Jessica didn't seem to care, Gail planned for her."I know you don't care about winning awards. You think ability and audience's affection are more important, but in the eyes of those organizers, the wicked capitalists, if you have these awards, your future value will be different and the activities you take will be higher-end.""That's true."Jessica nodded, "I will reorganize a more detailed profile and hand it
The gift from Christian was large and beautifully wrapped.Jessica unwrapped it and found a doll inside, who was wearing a small red dress and silver high heels. It looked small and had beautiful features, but it was so familiar..."This is the robot version of Sunny, the artificial intelligence that just released," Christian suppressed his anticipation, "Do you like it?""Yes."Jessica nodded.She complained in her mind. The surprise he prepared last time was a prototype of Sunny made in her image, and this time he gave her a doll of Sunny... How could he be so insensitive..."Sunny, it's Valentine's Day."Christian turned on Sunny's button and said to it.Sunny responded quickly and said in a sweet mechanical voice, "Happy Valentine's Day!"The corners of Jessica's mouth curled, "Mr. Maddox, you are making her say Happy Valentine's Day to me?""Hmm?"Christian knew that she was meaning something else.Jessica rolled her eyes at him, "I'm the prototype of Sunny, and if Sun
"Of course it's Paige!"Paige's assistant said in a condescending tone."Is that so?"Jessica smiled indifferently, "You've got the exact news? I'm going to ask the organizing committee about that. They decided on the winner before they even presented the award. So what do they think everyone else is?""You..."The assistant tried to retort but was hurriedly stopped by Paige.The award ceremony hadn't even started yet. Although she was sure she would win the award, she couldn't afford to cause any trouble at this point. In case she really went to the organizing committee and made a scene, her award would be lost..."Let's go!"Paige took her assistant and left. Jessica looked at their backs and narrowed her eyes. Paige just looked so confident, and she didn't look like she was lying...Paige handed over the material and smiled, "Director Weldon, now the information is detailed enough, right?"Director Weldon also smiled, "Oh, Miss Brown, I'm really sorry to make you go on an
"Who do you hate most in the world?"Gail asked mysteriously."I don't hate anyone.""You don't hate Adam and Adela, who betrayed you?" Gail said through gritted teeth.Jessica replied with a smile, "They do not deserve my hatred."Gail raised her eyebrows and gave Jessica a thumb up. "Then go ahead. The visitor in the parlor is the one who won’t let go of you even though you don't hate her."Jessica fluttered her long eyelashes slightly and got prepared mentally.Upon pushing open the door of the parlor, Jessica saw Adela sitting on the sofa. Adela was wrapped up. It seemed that she did not want to be recognized by too many people in the TV station where she had a glittering career previously."Jess, you're finally back."Hearing the door was pushed open, Adela lifted her head with a soft smile.Jessica stood at the door, not intending to enter. "Don't call me that, and don't smile at me. Otherwise, I will start being wary of you subconsciously."Adela stopped smiling with
Jessica sneered.‘Adela, it is so thick-skinned of you to try to build alliances with me! Don’t you notice your words are full of flaws?’When Jessica turned to leave, Adela said in a pleading tone immediately, "Jess, we've known each other for so many years. If I really become a single mother with no job or income, will you be happy?"Jessica took a deep breath, turned around, and took a good look at Adela. Adela was sobbing, but her makeup was not smudged by tears. "I don't know if I will be happy or not, but I really sympathize with the child in your belly...""Don’t you know why you have no job or income? You are not disabled. Why is a single mother doomed to live a miserable life?"Adela simply turned a deaf ear to Jessica’s words. She wiped her tears and said, "Jessica, I must deal with Paige this time. If she cannot get the trophy, someone else will do. If you are willing to make an alliance with me, the trophy is yours!"Jessica shook her head helplessly, "We indeed have
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
