Jessica failed to keep a straight face and was amused by Alice.It seemed that Alice was just simple and frank but not stupid."Actually, it's not difficult. I would like to ask you how many people know that you enter for the talent show of girls?" Jessica asked.Jessica felt somewhat delighted to deal with her rival in love Alice aboveboard.Alice frowned. "My company asks me to keep it as a secret. They're afraid that my fans will be unwilling to accept it. My company is paving the way. We won't public it until I take part in the shooting of the final competition.""That's great..."Jessica told Alice her plan. Alice heard the plan, put down the bottle and asked, "Is that all?""Yes," Jessica nodded.Alice took a breath and curled her lips with dissatisfaction."Is it OK?" Jessica was worried Alice was unwilling.However, Alice promised, "Don't worry. I'm good at acting."Jessica got Alice's promise and felt satisfied. Seeing that Alice and Hawley were caring and bickering
Jessica hadn’t expected that Christian would choose not to go home.She paused, put down the coffee beans in her hand, and went upstairs to sleep.Only if she got enough sleep could she have the energy to coax him tomorrow...**The next day Jessica had been busy working in the TV station for a whole day. After getting off work, she finally had time to sit down and drink a glass of water. Holding the glass in one hand, she took out her phone with the other.She had called Christian at noon, but he hadn’t answered it.So, she tried to call him again when she had finished her work. She had waited a long time before the call was answered, but it was not Christian but Ethan who picked up the phone."Madam, Mr. Maddox is having a project meeting now. Is there anything urgent?""When will he be available?" Jessica asked calmly."About an hour later.""Is he working overtime in the office tonight?" she asked again.Ethan hesitated for a moment.He shouldn’t disclose Mr. Maddox’s s
"Christian!"Christian turned around and saw Grace walking towards him."Let me be your female companion tonight." Grace's voice was charming."Why?" Christian frowned."Because you don't have a female partner. You have to bring a female partner to attend this dinner party," Grace smiled.Christian frowned at her again, "I can attend it without a female partner!"Grace was taken aback by his words. He was right. He was Christian Maddox, and he could attend any party he wanted to attend!Even if he didn’t have a female companion, who would dare to stop him from entering?And the dinner was held in a hotel owned by the Maddox Group...Grace was embarrassed but still didn't want to give up, "Now that I am already here, why don't you take me in? I have been preparing for this dinner for several days! I can’t go in without you." Grace deliberately tugged the hem of her revealing dress to show Christian her beautiful body.This pretentious action made Christian even more disgusted.
Christian took Jessica to say hello to Duke Louis. After exchanging a few greetings, they started to talk about business matters. Jessica then politely walked away alone first.Soon after, Jessica heard a man's voice from not far away. "Miss, you are very fascinating. I have noticed you for some time..."Jessica felt some familiarity with the man's voice and his words, so she took a glance at him. She saw a European-looking man staring at a foreign girl. "Come have a drink with me, sweetie~"“No. Thanks."The girl politely refused the man in French.But the man kept bugging her. He asked her who she was here with and why wouldn’t she take a drink at a cocktail party and so on. The girl was rather annoyed but she didn't know what to do. Jessica curved up the corner of her mouth. She walked over and said to the man, "Sir, here we meet again."The man darted a glance at Jessica and his expression changed immediately. "Mr. Maddox… Today you are Mr. Maddox's partner again?"Jessica
Somehow, Grace got into the dinner party. When she saw that Jessica got along well with Vanessa, she was resentful. However, she didn't have the guts to stir up trouble.Jessica saw that Grace hovered in the doorway for a while and left finally.When Christian was dealing with something ahead, she asked Ethan who was behind her, "Do you know the Louis family well?""Mrs. Maddox, what do you mean...?" Ethan was respectful."Does Duke Louis have many children? How about Grace's position in the family?"Ethan nodded nonstop. "Duke Louis has two sons. I hear that he has five or six daughters at least. He loves Vanessa the most and always has her around. He doesn't value others."Jessica nodded slightly.No wonder Grace tried her best to be popular. It turned out that she wanted to be independent. Although she declared that she was from an abroad royal family, she didn't achieve any success. It was because she didn't get enough support...Christian had been busy all the time. Jessic
Listening to Christian’s persistent insinuation, Jessica lowered her eyes, and her cheeks reddened all the way to her neck.Seeing that she didn’t respond, he assumed that she acquiesced. The emotions in Christian’s eyes surged and he immediately embraced her into the elevator.The elevator ascended.His big palm stroked her back, and his scorching lips fell upon hers.She was too shy to lift her head. Clenching her elbows, she muttered, “There’s a camera...”He chuckled, and his deep voice resounded in her ears, “Well, I will let you go first…”When they exited the elevator, he supported the back of her head with his large palm and kissed her. He maneuvered her body familiarly towards the door of the suite while kissing her.Tick—The door was opened and then shut.Within a short while, the two confronted each other at the door. Jessica suddenly grew a little awkward and decided to grab the chance to sneak away, “Well, I’ll take a bath first…”The corner of his mouth curved
The next morning, when Christian moved slightly, Jessica woke up.He put on his nightgown casually and was about to go out. When he looked back, he saw Jessica was wrapping herself up with conservative clothes. He asked with suspicion in his eyes, "Why do you wear so many clothes?""Are you sure you want me to appear in front of Wade in this dress?"She pointed to the nightgown on the bed which was revealing…Not till then did Christian remembered Wade was in his home. He opened the door with a calm face and walked out. Then he saw Wade eating breakfast as expected."Why are you still here?" His voice was cold.Wade pursed his lips and said, "I will leave soon."After a pause, Wade felt aggrieved, so he said, "Chris, it is you who told me not to go home and gave me the room key here. But you… Don’t you know that I’ve been single for a long time? I can’t see that kind of scene."Christian glared at Wade after rolling his eyes and, and Wade fell silent immediately.At this time
Wade hesitated for a few seconds. Alice's question was ambiguous. How should he interpret and answer it?Jessica was also a little surprised. She had known Alice liked Christian, but it seemed that she was also unhappy to see her being close to Wade."Get out of the car right now!" Alice pointed at Jessica angrily.Jessica said helplessly, "I came to ask you about the result. If you give me the result, I will get out of the car immediately."Alice compressed her lips tightly and quickly operated on her phone, saying, "The recording has been sent to you! I did you a favor! Now, get off the car!"Jessica glanced at the message she received on the phone and calmly stepped out of the car.Although Alice was angry, she was eager to get into the car. Looking at her back, Jessica said, "But I still have to warn you that I’ve already married into the Maddox family. I allow you to worship and like my husband unilaterally. But once your behavior crosses the line, I swear I will give you tr
