Jessica stood in the doorway of the lounge. In fact, she just had a momentary lapse of concentration.She watched Mary enjoying the compliments from the cluster of female contestants around her like a top celebrity...Then she shifted her gaze to Flora who was cottoning up to Mary like a clown.Jessica could not help but heave a sigh inwardly as she felt that the show business was like a magic mirror which could reflect the ugliest side of humanity down to the smallest detail.She still remembered vividly that when auditioning for a part in The Splendid Dynasty and competing against a crowd of common actresses, Mary had had no credentials or backers, and Flora, confident of getting the secondary female lead role, had made all kinds of digs at her...It had been barely a year since those things had happened, but the shoe was on the other foot now.She was still sighing in her mind when she spotted Mary rising to her feet and making her way towards her.At the sight of Mary suddenly
Gail was standing not far away from Jessica and heard their conversation. As soon as Jessica left, she rushed over to her and said, "Is Mary sincere?""What do you think?" Jessica said calmly, "It doesn't matter if she's sincere. Let's focus on our own business."*Jessica went to Wade's lounge later. The door was ajar, but she still knocked on the door three times."Come in!"Alice's voice came from inside."How is your cooperation?" Jessica asked as she walked in.Alice had asked Wade to help her with the public performance of tonight."We once sang this song in the dating show, so we've developed a tacit understanding," Wade replied first.Alice's cheeks blushed slightly, but Wade, an insensible man, didn't notice it.She came over and snuggled into the back of Jessica, whispering, "Actually, I'm still worried that the public opinion about us will become bad if Wade helps me…""You once were a couple in the dating show and also played a couple in Director Bacchus's movie.
"Wade?"Alice's eyes were full of incredulity.Striding towards the door with her hand grasped by Wade, she found her heart pounding madly in her chest, and her grievance caused by the public derision moments ago was instantly replaced by mixed delight and surprise.Wade drew her right up to her RV, where Jessica was waiting for them."Jessica, what are you doing here?" Alice asked."I knew someone's definitely gonna make things difficult for you, so I came here to check on you," Jessica said with a smile.Wade released Alice's hand and pulled the door open for her. "Get in, go home and have some rest."Alice bobbed her head.Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jessica said to Wade, "I got stuff to do. If you have the time, take her home for me."Looking at Alice who had seated herself in the seat, Wade hesitated for a moment.Jessica gave Alice a wink. The latter instantly caught on and promptly clapped her hands to her face.Wade turned to look at her. Alice's hair blocke
"Ahem."Christian cleared his throat. This woman's limpid eyes, when having a somewhat fierce look in them, could really make his skin crawl."I was just curious." He made an attempt to justify himself.Jessica abruptly pried his hand off her and rose to her feet with the intention to leave, but he quickly gripped her wrist, gave it a gentle pull and with that she fell back into his embrace again."It's late, and I'm not in the mood for answering your questions."Jessica pushed herself off his chest. "If your curiosity is really piqued, call the one who you believe is your secret admirer and ask her about it."She made another attempt to leave, but this time, Christian, having anticipated it, did not even let her break free from his hold. "You said you're not in the mood for answering my questions. Are you in the mood for doing some exercise with me?""No...Uh!"Before she could finish her sentence, he ruthlessly swallowed the latter half of it...**The next morning.Jessic
This was a normal and professional PR statement.It stated that the contract of Jessica and Silky Skin perfume had expired already. As a public figure, Jessica would be responsible for what she had done. Jessica's studio had commissioned an attorney's team to deal with it. Jessica would never endorse bogus products.However, a lot of netizens commented to curse Jessica below the statement.Some netizens cursed that she was a coward. One of the beauty gurus posted as soon as the statement was posted.[The stars endorse products. It is a kind of bundled marketing. The stars and products are in the same boat. Let's come at it from another angle. If a star, who has endorsed a product, has scandals and brings negative influences to the product, their contract will be canceled and the star even will take legal responsibility. Most people agree to such a kind of pattern. However, when a product has scandals, the stars usually decline to comment on it, delete all the posts and stay out of
Now the quality problem of Silky Skin's perfume was touchy. Mr. Steve dealt with everything prudently. Although he couldn't expose it to others, she was Mrs. Maddox.She wasn't an outsider but a close insider!Mr. Steve knew it clearly. He hurried to promise to Jessica, "Ms. Bush, don't worry. We work for Mr. Maddox and value the product quality most. There won't be any quality problem.""Then why haven't you stated?" Jessica raised the core problem.Mr. Steve sighed, "To be honest, I'm worried sick about that. Now consumers point out some indexes of the perfume. We're hiring international experts to test. However, one of the indexes' tests will take forty-eight hours at least, so we have to... wait and can't do anything else.""Haven't you tested it before the products were launched?" Jessica asked again."Of course, we have. We have all the qualification certificates, but this index is very special. The test result only has the force of law within 30 days."Mr. Steve explained
"Jess!"Gail pushed the door open and entered. "The couple of brands you endorsed have cut you out of all the promo pictures!""Yeah."Jessica bobbed her head and relayed to Gail what the PR department of Wasin Group and Tanner had just said to her."Those people sounded so sincere when imploring you to endorse their products, but now they've cut you out of the pictures without hesitation!" Gail was filled with indignation."It's just business."Jessica said collectedly, "They don't really know me, so it's only natural their immediate reaction is to protect themselves. What's the point of acting like a loyal partner at this point in time?""They'll be so sorry when I get this done!" Gail said through gritted teeth.Jessica smiled and then made a phone call to the PR department of Wasin Group. "Later I'll send you a video. Contact some Twitter celebrities beforehand and have them retweet it for me. I want my lost popularity back!""Yes, Miss Bush!"**It was almost dusk. With
Looking at Jessica, Mary said with a big smile on her face, "I'm here to give them an exclusive interview."After a pause, she added, "The results of the elimination round of Muse Competition have come out. I narrowly beat you. You're not unhappy about it, I suppose?"Jessica and Gail exchanged a glance.Earlier this day, they had been too occupied with the issue of the endorsement to spare a thought for the Muse Competition, so the news came as a surprise to them."Of course not. Actually I never expected to get a nomination."The elevator came and Jessica turned to it without another glance at Mary.She walked into the elevator, chin up, chest out, Gail in her wake. Mary followed them inside with her agent. "I'm positive you would've been the winner were it not for the scandal earlier this day.""Is that so?"Jessica pressed the "1" button and then turned to stare at Mary with piercing eyes. "You're being too modest. I've always been an ugly girl.""So it does bother you, Je
