Madam Maddox soon came to the balcony. She took Jessica's hand and looked her up and down. "Jess, when did Adam get released? What did he say to you? Did he bully you? I will help you fight back!"Jessica soothed Madam Maddox, who was emotional. "Don't worry. He can't bully me. I have planned everything carefully.""What? But I just saw him bullying you!" Madam Maddox insisted.Jessica was amused. The mood ruined by Adam just now was instantly brightened. She smiled and snuggled her head onto Madam Maddox's shoulder. "Actually, I slapped him. Why did you say that he bullied me?""If he didn't bully you, why did you slap him?""That is because I cannot resist the urge to slap him at the sight of him." Jessica laughed.Madam Maddox sighed and muttered to herself, "I promised Christian to take care of you, but you were bullied by that guy only a few days after we came here. I am so useless..."Madam Maddox spread Jessica’s palm and said mischievously, "Then let me see if your palm
Jessica tightened her robe, ran her fingers through her hair, and opened the door.There was shock in her eyes.The appearance of the tall and cold figure leaning outside the door was completely beyond her expectation."What… are you doing here?" she asked with her head raised.Without answering her question, Christian sized up her nightgown. "Are you going to bed?""Yeah."The moment she finished speaking, Christian walked past her and entered without asking for permission.Jessica stood still by the door. "When did you get here? Why so suddenly?"Christian didn't answer her. At this time, Ethan came over from the outside with a suitcase for Christian."Mr. Maddox, I will pick you up here tomorrow morning." Ethan then hurried away, not daring to take a glance at Jessica in a nightgown.Christian put the suitcase away and looked back at her face tinged with curiosity. "My plane just arrived, so please let me stay here for one night," he begged domineeringly."It's fine, but
Jessica looked up...Her temporary male dance partner helped her up. She shook her head and smiled, "I'm fine. Maybe I'm too hungry and thus have hypoglycemia."Originally, she needn't dance on the big show.However, Mr. Min especially changed one piece of the traditional clothes that she would show in the finale after he heard that Jessica could dance. The clothes would look more flowing for the final demonstration of the big show to be more eye-catching.Mr. Min even asked his group to temporarily invite a male dance teacher to be her dance partner. When she showed the last piece of clothes, the male dance partner would dance a brief part of a kind of traditional dance with her. Then the whole big show would have more highlights. Mr. Min said that dance was a kind of silent language. It would interpret the traditional clothes better.The male dance partner helped her down the stairs kindly and said, "Luckily, the working meals are served. Let's eat some. You have been tried rece
In front of Jessica stood a man and a woman. The woman naturally nuzzled up against the man like a baby."Thank you, Vanessa."Jessica did her best to ignore the gaze of the man and responded with a smile.Vanessa noticed her avoidance of eye contact and laid it bare, "I know everything. Adam has told me that he failed you. He really wants to say sorry and hopes you can give him another chance…" Jessica's gloomy eyes glanced at Adam. This jerk was good for nothing except coaxing women!Within a matter of days, he patched things up with Vanessa, and the latter no longer minded his former relationship and the rumor.She wondered what confession he had made to secure Vanessa's faith!"Vanessa, if you are here to be his lobbyist, I'm sorry I can't." Jessica rejected it flatly.After a moment of embarrassment, Vanessa smiled, "I didn't come for that. I'm here to watch your show!""In that case, you're sincerely welcomed. I'm glad to see you at my show." Jessica returned
The big show kicked off!Mr. Min's team often undertook such shows, and everything was going smoothly.In the second half of the show, the male dancer came up…As soon as Jessica came out in the last set of clothes, her dancing partner asked, "Jessica, is there any detail you want to confirm about the steps?""Well… it's alright." "Another rehearsal?" The male dancer proposed. Jessica raised her bright eyes and looked at the man, "Sounds good."The two then held hands and started to spin in the open space backstage…The man's eyes were dim whereas her eyes were clear and shiny…**The show was coming to an end…The finale was coming up, and the lights in the hall went dim. The audience sat properly and looked into the depths of the runway expectantly.The music suddenly changed, and the folk melody sounded more ethereal. A beam of light shot to a spot high above the stage where Jessica, sitting on a piece of long red damask, descended slowly. Her sleeves were flutte
The flowing gauzy dress fell on the ground completely...However, Jessica didn't have the risk of wardrobe malfunction at all...For an instant the music was changed to cooperate with her moves. Suddenly, the petals drifted down from the light that was focusing on her head all the time.Jessica spun with the music and took off her robe on her shoulders chicly...The offstage guests exclaimed in surprise!She took off her robe...She wore a handmade inwrought bodice. The design of the bodice was retro. As for her overskirt, it was ornamented with long tassels. When she danced deftly, the tassels stirred up the petals that were falling on the ground one by one...Although the petals were lifeless, her graceful dance steps were charming and animate..."It turns out that it's a part of the dance!""As expected, such a serious accident has never happened at Mr. Min's shows..."The offstage guests talked about it, but their eyes still fixed on Jessica who was dancing on the stage.
Two hours before the big show, Ethan noticed a secret deal between Adam and another man…In fact, after Adam was bailed out, his boss instructed him to keep an eye on Adam, fearing that the man might harass Jessica again. This time, Jessica went aboard to perform, and Adam happened to be here. An alarmed Ethan had Adam under close watch.The meticulous assistant later discovered that Adam was striking a deal with Jessica's dance partner backstage and realized how serious the matter was.Then Jessica ventured to borrow Mr. Min's precious design. Unexpectedly, the exquisite design and she brought out the best in each other. The stage effect they sparked was even better than imagined! Ethan blushed instantly, "Madam, I'm flattered. It's my duty!""Come on, you helped me and should be rewarded."His face flushing, Ethan complimented, "Madam, you were amazing on stage. The audience was full of praise, and Mr. Maddox also nodded repeatedly in approval." "Really? Am I that
Jessica and Christian stayed abroad with Madam Maddox for a day before returning home.She had several shows to record while Christian was busy with his business. Neither of them could leave for long.The plane landed, and she got into the car when Gail's report came in, "Jess, my proposal for the talent show of the boy group worked!" "So soon?" Jessica smiled, "Looks like Cain's intelligence only works in shady aspects… He's stupid where he should be smart!" "My friend working with Cain's company told me that they had received the task and started preparing to invite the contestants," Gail sounded excited, "Also, Cain has been very active recently. With his secretary, he meets all kinds of investors. Jess, what is our plan?""You've left the case in Serena's care?" asked Jessica."Yeah, just her.""Let her follow up then. She will definitely resort to delaying tactics. Let her be," Jessica instructed, "We'll do nothing, and Cain is on his own to attract investors."
