The bigwig was quite status-conscious. Seeing as how he was toasting a hostess on his own initiative, it was only too obvious that he would sponsor her in the future, that she stood to benefit a lot from it. This was the kind of treatment many people could only dream about.

But he was rejected in the presence of so many people, and a fledgling boldly came to her help. Though angry, he knew better than to lose his temper on the spot and could only get Hawley drunk in an attempt to prove his status in this field.

Hawley, fully aware of what it was about, did not resist. Every time the bigwig raised his glass, Hawley upended his own without the slightest hesitation.

After Hawley gulped down over ten glasses in a row, the bigwig's anger finally ebbed away and he chuckled, "Good. I like you, kiddo!"

Hawley grinned, "I'm flattered, Mr. Green."

With that, he turned to look at Jessica standing behind him...

In that instant, Jessica perceived the youngster's stubbornness and the almost pa

    Jessica smoothed her hair around her ear and didn't answer Hazel's question.But Hazel was smart. She directly interpreted Jessica’s silence as acknowledgment."In that situation just now, only Hawley could relieve the embarrassment." Hazel tried to soothe Jessica. "Who do you think dares to stop Mr. Green in front of everyone? But Hawley can do that. He is young and reckless, which is perfectly understandable. Therefore, Mr. Green could get out of this embarrassment."Jessica nodded.She did not overthink what happened just now. She was just touched by Hawley for a moment.Seeing Jessica’s eyes lighting up again, Hazel smiled again and said, "I have rarely seen such a manly side of Hawley. Thanks to you, I saw it once again today!"Jessica tilted her head to look at Hazel and asked curiously, "Do you know each other well?"Hazel laughed. "Of course we do! He's my cousin!""Wow. You are..." Only then did Jessica understand why Hazel had so many resources in show business. Altho

    Having noticed the uncharacteristic facial expression on Jessica's face, Gail looked where she was gazing just in time to see the elevator door slowly close.The man inside subconsciously kept his head down, seemingly trying to avoid being recognized by the others."Who's that guy?" Gail asked."Harrison Shaw.""Harrison Shaw?!" Gail was amazed. "Is the bouquet of flowers in his hands for...Flora? Are they back together, by any chance?"Jessica shook her head, thinking, 'Who cares?'**Unsurprisingly, early the next morning, vague photos of a man who was presumably Flora's rich, handsome boyfriend appeared on news websites.Last night, after the inaugural ceremony, Flora gave an interview to the press and then was videotaped getting into a car with a man, a large bouquet of roses in her hands.The man's clothing suggested that he was none other than Harrison, who had brushed past Jessica in the elevator last night.Gail tut-tutted incredulously. "Does this mean Flora, after b

    One hour later.Wasin Group's public relation group replied, "Ms. Bush, I'm afraid that it is because the new year is coming. You're striving for the annual prize, but your competitors are obstructing you secretly.""But it's a secret that I have got the nomination of the annual most popular star..."Hearing Jessica's question, Wasin Group's public relation group explained, "It's not because of the prize of the annual most popular star. It's because of the prize of the annual most popular new star... We have found some traces in the accounts, which look like your die-hard fans' accounts. They once posted some things about Mary. Although the traces have been cleared, some evidence is left there. I'll send the evidence to you later."Jessica narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "OK."She hung up and told Gail the situation.Gail was so angry that she cursed Mary, "Mary is crazy! She is stupid!

    Jessica fluttered her eyelashes and looked up at Gail, "Why don't you ask your friend at Flora's company and see what's going on?" Gail agreed.Until the shift was almost over, Gail received the message and lost no time in telling Jessica, "Indeed, Flora has been blacklisted. Mary is believed to be mad!""Because Flora dissed Beauty Magazine?" Jessica arched her brow.Gail blinked mysteriously, "Probably so, rumor has been spreading in their office, saying that Mary refused to work and came back from the filming site this noon. She found their big boss in the office, played tough, and requested the company to choose only one of them. To pacify her, the boss had to put Flora in the blacklist for now…"A flicker of coldness flashed across Jessica's eyes.Mary was more ruthless than she thought.Though arrogant, Flora was still a new artist yet to rise to stardom.Mary might look stoic, but all kinds of petty tricks had been played by her lately.

It was very strange...Christian had never called her "honey"... Besides, even if he was drunk, he shouldn't ask her to drive him home. He would just expect her to sleep at home soundly...Jessica realized that it might be a trap, but she didn't know who the manipulator was and the manipulator's aim temporarily. Christian might have been involved, so she panicked.She frowned slightly.

    Jessica hung up the phone…The woman she bumped into was more astonished than her. "Jessica…"She stammered and shed tears dramatically.Jessica stood still and sized her up with a poker face.With no shoes on, the woman seemed to be just out of bed and in a hurry.Her hair was messy. Her makeup was smudged. Her lipstick ran across her face ambiguously… Dressed in a loose bathrobe, she had the girdle tied casually. Her fair neck and deep cleavage were revealed. Obviously, she wasn't wearing anything inside.After a pause, Jessica regained her composure, asking, "Flora… you called me over?""What?"Flora gaped with feigned innocence, "Jessica, I can explain. Mr. Maddox got drunk and called me over… It was not our intention. Please don't be mad…"Heh...Jessica sneered.So, this was her drama.Flora was so good at such tricks! Back then, in the Adventure Show, she used the same trick to frame Mask and her!In front of her eyes, Flora explained anxiously and cringed. Her pomp

Go ahead.""Please don't think too much. What you have seen is created deliberately. Nothing has happened between me and her!" Christian said sincerely.Jessica kept silent, turned around and looked at the bedroom...Flora's clothes were scattered on the bed and the ground. Her black short skirt, purple underwear...Her clothes were so obtrusive!Christian looked in the direction where Jessica looked at. He also saw these nasty clothes. He frowned, strode forward and closed the bedroom door to keep themselves apart from the scene."Don't look at them!"He said firmly, "Look at my eyes. I haven't lied to you. Nothing has happened between me and her.""I was drunk indeed and Ethan drove me here. After I took a shower, she was in the room. I asked her to leave, but you arrived be

    Jessica looked at the garish lip print for a second and turned away in big strides as if nothing had happened.As soon as she came out of the hotel, the driver drove over. After a moment of hesitation, she instructed, "We're not going home yet."Somewhat surprised, the driver observed her face through the rear-view mirror, "Mrs. Maddox, where are we going?""Just going around," she said weakly.Instead of pressing, the driver drove the car onto the highway.When the cold wind just relieved her of her agitation, her phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Flora. "Jessica, I'm sorry for what happened today. I was really drunk, and it was not our intention. I don't want to see you upset…"Jessica clutched the phone and gnashed her teeth, 'This woman knows no shame!'She tried her best to restrain her emotions as she believed that Flora was laughing from the other end of the phone.

It may be changed. We'd better delay the preparation in case you will prepare for it in vain...""What's the matter?"

    [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 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.

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.

    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
