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
For an instant, Jessica felt unfamiliar with Christian who was in front of her.Christian walked up again and said, "Let me explain."Jessica calmed down, turned to look at him and said decisively, "OK. 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. The more upset she got, the more complacent Flora was!After a brief breakdown, she started
Jessica stopped the car in the garden of the old mansion of the Maddox family.She got out of the car and walked in.As soon as Christian saw her, he stood up from the couch to greet her. He had been waiting for her for a while...She was still talking with Flora on the phone. She just coldly glanced at the tall Christian who was in front of her. She promised Flora calmly, "OK. I'll tell him. Wait for him to contact you!"She was about to hang up, but Flora stopped her and said, "Jessica, aren't you angry?"'As expected, Flora is so stingy!'Jessica sneered.Flora schemed so much and took a risk that she might be blacklisted by Christian forever. Even so, she still contrived the plan, put on the show and let Jessica misunderstand that Christian and Flora had affairs. It meant that what Flora wanted was very valuable. It was so valuable that only Christian could satisfy her.However, in front of such big benefits, Flora still cared about if Jessica was angry or not.It was also
On the top floor of Maddox Group, Ethan personally opened the door for Jessica.She walked around the corner and saw Christian sitting upright in his office chair. Next to his desk were two rows of staff standing straight up.According to their uniform, they should be hotel staff.But she had never expected such a shocking scene.The atmosphere in Christian's office was heavy without any sound. The hotel staff looked somewhat apprehensive and nervous. It seemed that no one had made a sound here for a long time."Come here."Christian got up and walked up to Jessica. He took her hand and sat on the couch with her opposite the hotel staff."What are you doing?" She asked in confusion.Christian turned his head and ordered, "Tell my wife again what you said about the surveillance footage just now."The two rows of the hotel staff didn't dare to hide something. Under the leadership of the hotel lobby manager, they began to explain to Jessica everything that had happened last night
There was no doubt that Maddox Group was efficient.Three days later, they informed Jessica that they had helped Flora become the leading actress of The Beauty. The Beauty was a story that was built around the leading actress. They snatched the role from Mary who was the originally leading actress. The TV drama's rating was even better than Flora required.Flora started being proud.She had priority on her company's resources again. The interviews that had been canceled were rearranged one by one...Jessica and the scenarist-director group almost had finished the plan of the competition show of the boy group. They started inviting guests.Finally, Jessica relaxed a little. She took out the afternoon tea that Gail ordered for her and started enjoying it.At that time, Gail pushed open Jessica's office door and looked anxious, but she saw that Jessica hadn't finished eating. Gail paused for a while and said, "Ah! You haven't finished eating yet!"Jessica asked in return, "What's t
Jessica smiled helplessly, followed Gail to the railing on the second floor, and looked down at the farce in the lobby."Yeah, you're a senior, and I've always respected you, Mary," Flora simpered in a raised tone."Have you? I was chosen as the female lead of 'The Beauty'. I made my schedule, ready for the filming, and you stole it from me. Is this how you respect me?"Dropping all pretense, Mary blocked Flora's way and took off the gloves. "I don't need your respect since we're about the same age, but don't forget my favors in your shows and competitions. I encouraged my fans to vote for you multiple times. Is this how you repay me?" "Mary, don't you get it? You asked the company to blacklist me in the first place! And my retaliation is reasonable!" Flora shot back."I asked the company to make a choice because you didn't know your place! Aren't you clear about what you did?" Mary was pissed off.Flora snorted, "Tell me about it? In front of everyone, let's get it straig
In the middle of the night, Jessica suddenly heard a noise in the bed, so she woke up from her deep sleep. When feeling a man's robust body press against hers, she was breathless.She struggled to open her sleepy eyes and saw Christian’s big, angular face before her eyes in the light. She asked him in a thick nasal voice, "What are you doing?""I miss you."Christian did not change his clothes. He was still wearing the suit he had worn in the daytime. He exuded a unique air of pride, coldness, and wisdom.But when he faced her, who was sleepy, his eyes were filled with sexual desire.Jessica helplessly glanced at the clock in the night light.It was 3:00 am...She complained, "Why do you have to go back so late...""I won’t stay at the hotel no matter how late it is."Christian suddenly replied after a passionate kiss. Jessica was amused by him and just let him do what he wanted...Jessica originally planned to go to work early the next day.Almost all the guests for the boy
