The director's voice was very low, and Jessica, with Gail in the middle, didn't hear it clearly.But the woman next to her already spoke out the mocking words, "Coming so late! Who does she think she is?"Jessica turned her head and saw the short-haired woman dressed with glittering jewels, with aggressive light in her eyes.Paige Brown?Why was she here?Paige had her hair cut short and put on workplace makeup. Suddenly she seemed like a different person.That director wanted to tell Jessica just now, "It is said that Tanner hired her personally, and he will promote her with great efforts..."Jessica sneered.Paige was just an internet celebrity. She was popular, but not professional...As Jessica expected, Adam and his father wouldn't admit defeat. The one who wanted to promote Paige was not Tanner, but Smith Group. They wanted to retrieve the situation by promoting Paige after Smith Group fell.As long as Paige could win back the favor of the audience and involve the Smith
"Jessica, you are in charge of the Fashion Show."Cooper's announcement shocked everyone in the conference room, "This Fashion Show is very important, and you will partner with George. Make sure you are well prepared!"While other people were still stunned, Jessica got up with a smile, "Cooper, don't worry, I won't let you down."The people around whispered, "So the one the station is going to promote is not Paige, but Jessica?""That's possible. Jessica was very popular a few years ago,"Paige was so irritated that her face twisted in an ugly way. Gail leaned closer and asked Jessica, "Jess, since when did the director take your side?"Jessica blinked, "I pulled some strings, just like someone..."Jessica knew that Nathan was the reason why Cooper assigned her such an important task.Therefore, she had to put more effort into helping Nathan become the chairman.There were only three days left before the Fashion Show.Gail was helping Jessica get familiar with the party pro
Christian put out his cigarette and turned around.Jessica sneaked behind and peaked, but she was soon found.She nodded, “I’m off to work.”Then she hid in the study to memorize the scripts by the desk. Shortly afterwards, Adam carried a cup of coffee in his hands and started to work on his computer on the sofa.He was not in the habit of sleeping early and wanted to go to the study to work. But, watching the focused and concentrated woman, he felt it was nice to work here.Jessica pulled an all-nighter and was so tired that she fell asleep. She remembered she fell asleep at the desk but when she woke up, there was a strong body behind her.He kept the same position as her, bending and sleeping on the bed together...She suspected, “Did you carry me to bed last night?”“You walked over yourself. I had already been asleep but was awaken by you!” Adam said with a straight face.“Is that so...” she couldn’t recall any of it.The next day, Jessica continued to work hard. When sh
When the guests of Fashion Celebration walked on the red carpet, Jessica finally saw George, who hurried over.George was as famous as those guest stars at the party tonight. It was impossible for Jessica to rehearse with him in advance, so she could only make sure that she would not make any mistakes. "Hello, Mr. Hack." She stretched out her hand humbly. "I am glad to work with you tonight."George shook her hand politely, but he didn't say anything.In his eyes, a young and beautiful girl like Jessica had little fame yet had the chance to host such a large party. He guessed that she must have a sugar daddy.He was tired of the disgusting show business, but he had to make a living in it. He could predict how terrible Jessica's performance would be and how tired he would be this evening...Before the official opening, an assistant came to give Jessica playscript cards to let her familiarize herself with the guest sequence in advance. She also put George's playscript cards aside
When Jessica called him Mr. Hamlin, George froze.However, noticing that James Hamlin wasn't surprised, George realized that something was wrong, so he cooperated with Jessica.George was a veteran. When he interviewed James Hamilton, George wouldn't misname naturally and he was sure that something was wrong with the cue cards.Thus, when he looked at Jessica, he became more friendly.If Jessica hadn't been that smart, he would have made a mistake in such an important party. His reputation as a professional host would be destroyed and he would be mocked by others...Jessica would be in charge of the next part. After George returned to the backstage, he hurried to confirm the following related names of companies and people.However, Jessica was in trouble again.As soon as she stepped onstage, she saw that the autocue on the opposite went out. The autocue was hung on the top. All the lines and processes disappeared.She took a deep breath secretly. It seemed that someone wante
Mr. Edward was confused, so he followed Jessica.He went behind the desk and then saw his speech draft on the desk.Mr. Edward was confused, so he followed Jessica.He went behind the desk and then saw his speech draft on the desk.Mr. Edward was finally relieved and took an admiring look at Jessica, who was politely gesturing to him.Just now, he was annoyed by the fact that there was not even a teleprompter in this TV station. But now he was glad that the hostess was pretty clever.After Mr. Edward delivered his speech, George went on stage and introduced the last show.As soon as Jessica stepped off the stage, Tanner scolded her, "Jessica, what are you doing?! Haven’t you memorized the process? I asked Mr. Edward to deliver his speech before announcing the awards. Now, you just messed it up like, and Mr. Edward must feel confused!"Jessica sneered secretly.'Haven't Tanner heard the news that the teleprompter had broken?'"How can you still smile now?!"Tanner was so furi
Why couldn't Adela behave herself? Did she deliberately ask her former assistant to retaliate for her?Or was it someone else?There was a cold look in Jessica's eyes."If not for Jessica, I would have been ruined by your damn careless mistakes."George cursed furiously and then turned his head to Jessica, "Jessica, I haven't thanked you yet."Jessica looked humble, "That's all right, Mr. Hack. We are partners. I just happened to see the mistake and reminded you in time."George nodded in satisfaction.Tanner frowned deeply. He took a few looks at Jessica and then at Adela's former assistant, "Did you do it on purpose?!""No... I didn't..."He just spoke out the truth by accident, and now no one would believe in his explanation. Tanner kept shaking his head, "Adela has fallen, you shouldn't have shown your loyalty to her in this way... Pack your things and get out."Then Tanner turned his head and apologized to George, "Mr. Hack, I'm really sorry, we will learn from today's
At this time, Gail got over in a hurry and said, “I checked the surveillance tape. The former assistant of Adela went to the backstage before the teleprompter was broken. During that time, the surveillance camera happened to be broken...”“Adela!”Tanner was so pissed off, but he still wanted to seek forgiveness from Mr. Edward, “Please rest assured. We’ve severely punished her assistant.”“That guy is just an assistant who has been in the TV station for less than two years. Why would he do that? He broke the teleprompter, changed the playscript cards and ruined the celebration. What good would it do him?” Jessica was persistent.Mr. Edward was nice to Jessica. He spoke in support of her, “Miss Bush’s request is reasonable. Apart from her, I myself want to know the truth! Don’t fool me with a scapegoat!”After that, Mr. Edward motioned to Jessica and left.His secretary told the TV station to find the real mastermind behind the whole thing. Though Mr. Edward was busy, he couldn’t
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
