The next day, Jessica went to the station and had a meeting with a few scenarist-directors to discuss the revised draft plan of the girl group show.Because she and Hammer were tentatively appointed as the hostes, Hammer also participated.Shortly after the meeting, Hammer knocked on the door of Jessica's office and said, "We need to discuss the plan further."Hammer was a host whom Jessica appreciated very much.He didn't have any bad habits which most rich young men from noble families had. Although sometimes he looked old-fashioned and inflexible, his attitude towards work was extremely serious.Regarding the issues raised at the meeting, the two of them had a more detailed discussion, and then they reached a conclusion. When Hammer was about to leave, Jessica stopped him and said, "Hammer, there is something I want to ask you.""Go ahead."Hammer stopped at the door, and Jessica stood up. She said, "Thank you for warning me that Paige tampered with my shoes. When you went to
"I happened to pass by," Christian said blandly."Then I will tell Hammer to rush over," Jessica said.Christian interrupted her, “It's okay to tell the kid’s parents that he is fine, but they had better calm down. The kid had a quarrel with them and then ran away from his home. He became emotional when I said that I would take him back home.""I see."Jessica now learned what had happened and knew what she should do next. She took a taxi to rush to the West City Hospital and also told Hammer the news.When Jessica arrived at the West City Hospital, a large group of bodyguards were protecting a clean-cut child beside the fountain in the hospital garden. He was exactly Jim Bailey, Hammer's son.The little boy sat on the steps of the flowerbed and lowered his head with arms around his knees. He was in a defensive manner.Christian, who stood next to Jim with his hands in his pockets, said to Jim helplessly with a sullen look, “The woman you know is here..."Jessica walked up to
The air conditioning was not turned on in the car, but an icy chill faintly came from the front seat.Jessica glanced at Christian's face that was about to contort in anger and couldn't help laughing out. "Jimmy is right. This is really a question worth pondering. I need to think about it in the next few days.""Isn't it?"Jim's smug eyes moved around.*When they arrived home, Jessica ordered the servant to prepare a guest room for Jim and then prepared dinner for him.During this time, Hammer called her, "I'm sorry. Jimmy is allergic to wheat bran, so please be careful of the food. Thank you."Jessica promised to have remembered it and instructed the servant to be careful when preparing dinner.After dinner, Jessica took Jim to have a bath and get him a thin T-shirt of hers as his pyjamas. Jim felt like an elf in Jessica's T-shirt, running around the living room happily.At that moment, Wade returned. When Jim saw Wade, he pounced on him with incredible enthusiasm, "Wade! Yo
Jim went to the guest room upstairs. Fearing that he might end up becoming an inadvertent victim of the rage of his sulky-faced big brother standing opposite him, Wade hastily slunk away. "I'm going upstairs to sleep as well!""Who said you could sleep here?" Christian fumed, still unwilling to let him off the hook.It was very suspicious that this guy had arrived in the presence of the little boy."Don't be like this, Chris. Father's gone, and Mother's remarried, which means your home is my home. If you turn me away, where am I supposed to go?" Wade faked an injured expression and slipped upstairs.The servants downstairs, at the sight of the look that Christian just cast Jessica, hastened to take their leave out of force of habit.Christian once again scooped up Jessica in his arms and ascended the stairs.He opened the door, walked inside, kicked it shut and then pinned Jessica to the bed.Looking at him, Jessica put her arms around his neck. "Jimmy's just a kid. Surely you'r
"But your father is also a host, why don't you go to him?" Jessica asked jokingly. "How could I do that?" Jim replied in all seriousness, "He will definitely defend his wife. He won't do anything to expose the fact that my mother treats me badly, he'll cover it up!" "Oh, that’s it." Jessica couldn't stop laughing. Children were straightforward and simple, so adorable. The car arrived at the Bailey’s house. Jessica brought Jim into the door in person. Hammer and his wife were standing waiting for them. And Old Master Bailey was also there waiting. Seeing his grandson coming back, Old Master Bailey immediately called with a big smile on his face, "Come on, give Grandpa a hug!" Jim ran into the arms of Old Master Bailey, and asked in a childish voice, "Grandpa, will mommy blame me?" Mrs. Bailey was sobbing behind them, "Mommy won't blame you. Mommy loves you more than anything..." Seeing the family warmly gathered together, Jessica proposed to leave right in time. "I'd bet
Soon, Jessica passed the audition smoothly.She went backstage to change clothes and was about to take photos of the role.She needed to dress up as a mermaid princess.She changed into the shining mermaid dress. She heard a familiar male voice as soon as she walked out. Someone was chatting with Bacchus.Christian asked Bacchus whether Jessica was suitable for the role.Bacchus complimented Jessica in front of Christian, "Mr. Maddox, to be honest, the first time I saw the Adventure Show I noticed Jessica. She wore slinky sport pants. Her legs are straight and slender. Also, the proportion of her waist meets the requirement to play the role of the mermaid! The mermaid princess' legs must be perfect even without heels!"Although Jessica was in the distance, she saw that Christian's expression changed drastically.Christian listened carefully at first, but his face turned ashen in anger when Bacchus complimented Jessica on her legs and waist.Maybe Bacchus was sunk in his perfect
After hearing the sound, Jessica and Gail turned to take a look.They didn’t know when Grace had arrived. But judging from her smeared eye makeup, she must have been in a rush on her way here. Her makeup around the eyes was always delicate at ordinary times.She served coffee to Christian and ignored Jessica, who was not far away.Christian did not even look at Grace.But Grace didn’t mind his cold attitude. She smiled happily, “I bought this coffee especially for you. My dad said that this is your favorite flavor. By the way, last time my dad said he would like to make another appointment with you to talk about the cooperation. Have you decided the time?"Christian paused, and then his lips moved slightly, "Duke Louis has changed his assistant?"Grace frowned slightly. Christian said impatiently, "The cooperation is between me and Duke Louis. And making the appointment is the business of our assistants. I don't think it’s any of your concern."Grace was thick-skinned. Even the
Since Wade arrived, Gail had been looking at Wade like a young girl in love. When Wade was free, she asked eagerly, "Wade, can you give me a signature?"Hearing Gail's sweet voice, Wade turned to look at her and frowned, "I remember that I gave you a signature last time."Gail suddenly got excited, "You still remember me!"Wade looked at Jessica and laughed, "You are Jessica’s friend. How dare I forget you.""Please give me one more signature. I will never have enough of your signatures," Gail said, handing out her notebook. Jessica gave Wade a wink. Wade didn't dare to refuse her and immediately took over the notebook and wrote some blessings. He said, "I will sign for you every time I see you in the future.""That will be terrific!" Gail was too excited, throwing herself around with Wade's signature in her hand.After a while, she thought of something and asked, "Why is Grace here?"Director Bacchus had decided Jessica would make a cameo appearance. Hadn’t she been ruled out
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
