"George!" The assistant shouted.Paige grabbed the phone and took a look. George did show his support to Jessica on his Twitter."A consensus was reached among all the judges that Jessica is qualified to win the Emerging Host Award. There are no shady deals at all. Considering her ability and performance in the recent shows, she definitely deserves this prize."George's words cooled down the netizens to some degree.George was a well-known and respectable senior in hosting, thus invited as the main judge of the Best Hosts Award. At first, his participation was greatly welcomed.But in the past few days, with Paige getting involved in the scandal, George was also implicated.However, George not only enjoyed a high social status in the host circle, but also in the entertainment industry. Many stars became popular with his assistance. To show their gratitude, a lot of stars stood out to support him when he was bombarded by netizens.Gail winked at Jessica. "You resorted to George?
The curtains in another office were open. Some light streamed into the room.Paige’s face brightened up. She touched up her foundation leisurely and opened the door with confidence. She strode outside arrogantly followed by her assistant.They approached the girl busy designing the poster on her computer. "Don't do it in a hurry. Perhaps, you have to redesign it before long," Paige said sarcastically.The girl rolled her eyes helplessly. "There is no need to argue with me. I'm no more than an employee. Go talk to the director if you want.""I'll do it right now!"To make sure Jessica could hear her words, Paige deliberately raised her tone. "I'm going to ask Director Cooper in person how he is going to deal with such a prize obtained by indecent means?""It doesn't count at all! How ridiculous!" Paige's assistant echoed.Paige glanced at the window of Jessica's office with a triumphant smile. "Let's go to meet the director."Paige went upstairs with her assistant the moment she
The next day, Jessica went to the hospital to visit Mask."Congratulations, award winner," Mask said as soon as they met.Jessica produced a smile. "Stop teasing me. How are you recently? Do you still feel uncomfortable for what happened last time?"Mask was drugged by Flora when he attended the adventure show last time. According to the doctor, there was nothing wrong with his body, Yet, not until yesterday did she find out Mask was in hospital after watching the news. She came to visit him out of worry."Don't worry. I am here because a sharp pain shot up my cervical spine. I have suffered it for a long time. It relapsed because I have been so busy recently. It has nothing to do with the show," Mask hurried to say.Jessica breathed a sigh of relief. If his health were ruined in the show, she would feel sorry for the e-sports industry and the billions of netizens who love e-sports."When will the next filming start?" Mask asked again.Jessica widened her eyes in surprise. "Are
Jessica went downstairs in the elevator.As soon as getting out of the elevator, she received a message from the private detective."I've found out where the photo was taken. It was in Chestertown of Scotland."Jessica tightened his grip of the phone.In the car, Jessica saw an unanswered call from Gail. She immediately dialed her number. "Did you call me just now?""Where are you now?" Gail asked."I'm on my way back to the TV station. What happened?""It's okay to wait for you to come back. Aren't you on vacation today? Why are you going back to the station?""I'm asking for a few days off to go abroad."Christian in the driver's seat glanced at her and moved his eyes calmly.Not until she hung up did he ask her, "How come you are going abroad suddenly?""Private affair," she vaguely said."Are there some private affairs you can't tell me?" Christian emphasized the word "private".Jessica laughed. "I found where that photo was taken. I must go over to take a look."Chri
Jessica lived in Chestertown for two days and searched some places nearby according to the clues, but she achieved nothing in the end.The private detective also conducted investigations secretly, but got no clues about William.When she woke up one day in the morning, Jessica suddenly felt a little at a loss.Having searched almost everywhere according to the clues, she had no idea where she would go the next. She stayed in the room for a while and received a video call from Gail."Jess, what are you doing?""I don't know what to do. What happened?" She realized that Gail hadn't finished speaking.Gail said after a pause, "Did you watch the domestic news?""What's it about?"Jessica opened the webpage with her laptop, her eyes colored by coldness.[Christian, The President of Maddox Group, Secretly Dated a Beauty]The woman's face in the photos and videos was vague but her good body shape could be clearly seen. She was standing next to Christian, her smile quite glamorous.
Jessica called the person...The person respected her very much and said that the process of the press conference was very simple and the related questions had been prepared. She could start after she arrived and got acquainted with it. If she set off from Chestertown, she would arrive there in time.She felt that the person was a gentleman, so she agreed readily. She packed and drove there immediately.Her destination was an old-fashioned building. It featured folk customs. The reporters had arrived and gathered outside in the wide yard. The press conference was ready and the scale was large.The bodyguards questioned Jessica and took her inside to look for the director.Soon, she got the process of the press conference and her lines. Then she got acquainted with them.She was familiar with such press conferences. The process was stereotyped. However, she still didn't who the interviewee was before she put on make-up and was about to walk onstage.Cooper said that the inter
Sensing that something was wrong with Christian, the person in charge hurriedly came over and said a few words in Jessica's ear.After listening, she nodded and collected herself. Then she put on a professional smile and went on stage, "The conference is about to end. There is one more question."Christian looked at the smiling woman and caught the subtle emotions in her eyes. He just wanted to explain to her, so he raised his hand and pointed at someone at random.The reporter was flattered, "Mr. Maddox, what wish did you make under the sacred tree?"There was a booing noise from the surrounding colleagues.Although this question was worth asking, it was obvious that Christian would not answer it, so it was a waste of the opportunity to ask questions.As expected, Christian didn't let everyone down, "Will the wish be still efficacious if I say it out?""Well, this is the end of the press conference. Let us give Mr. Maddox a warm applause to thank him again for his generous cont
The wishing tree was covered with layers of red wishing knots. There was a sense of mystery about it in the afterglow.Jessica circled the wishing tree and scanned the wishes written by people on the wishing knots.She laughed when she looked at them. Could it be that she really wanted to find Christian's wishing knot to see what wish he had made?"What are you looking for?"At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from behind her.Jessica was surprised, and subconsciously picked up a wishing knot with a guilty conscience, "I wasn’t looking for anything. I'm here to make a wish.""Oh." Christian nodded in satisfaction.He had called Jessica just now after dealing with the emergency, but she didn't answer, so he called the hotel again. The receptionist said that Jessica had just left the room not long ago.He had arrived here even earlier than she did.Somehow, he had a hunch that she would come here, so he had been waiting for her here.Seeing her slender figure appearing
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
