When music rang out, Christian Maddox took Jessica to dance.

Before they barely spent time running in, their dance steps had become harmonious. She spun as his hand moved, making a smooth arc.

Jessica had been learning to dance since she was young, so her dance movements were quite relaxed like a light butterfly flapping its thin wings.

Christian was as noble as a king, and Jessica was like a favored elf in the broad arms of the king.

The audience were all attracted by their dance, and even Cain Smith had to admit that his daughter-in-law-to-be was very suitable for this audition.

Christian's black eyes glistened, seeing all the grace of the woman. "Could you be a little quicker?"

Jessica nodded and moved quickly as her partner did.

After a few soft murmurs, they quickened their dance steps. Even after their dance was over, all the people felt that they still couldn't forget it. For a moment, the exhibition hall was in silence.

Someone applauded first, and then all the others followed.

"The contract will be emailed to you. Today's audition is over now."

Christian's voice was emotionless, but all the people around them were shocked.

'Mr. Maddox has made his choice?'

"Mr. Maddox, you chose a brand spokesperson in this way… This is not suitable, is it?"

Cain had scruples in front of Christian, but he still couldn't help querying this decision. 'The event is sensational, but you made your choice only after interviewing one person?

'The point is that Paige, whom I arranged, hasn't come on the stage yet!'

"Why?" Christian squinted at him and said.

Cain inhaled and then said boldly, "Jessica Bush is good, but she is not so popular."

"People are made popular. Doesn't Maddox Group have the strength to make her popular?"

Christian spoke calmly and then turned to Jessica. "Get prepared for the exclusive interview. You will be the hostess."

*

When she walked out of the exhibition hall, Jessica saw that the people outside were around Paige.

"Paige, you will dance in a while, right? Which dance are you going to perform?"

"Is that important? Paige can make it even if she doesn't dance. She is backed by Smith Group, and people have to consider Mr. Maddox's feelings. So, who dares to refuse to accept Paige?"

"You people can't make irresponsible remarks," Paige said with a red face.

The people around her just thought that she was modest, so they all flattered, "Paige, let's congratulate you first!"

"You'll be completely prosperous when you become the brand spokesperson of the Talent League. Then, when we invite you to our programs, don't forget us!"

Paige nodded smugly. When she was a flight attendant, she had once met Christian in the first-class cabin, thinking, 'He is so noble and handsome!'

Although he just took a glance at her when she served him, she thought that he must be interested in her!

'Who is worthy of Christian apart from me?'

Later, she sent Christian's photo she had secretly taken to her female friends, saying that Christian had been staring at her and was interested in her. As time passed, these people believed her.

When she came out, Jessica happened to hear their discussion and couldn't help refuting coldly, "Aren't you afraid you will you cry when your words are proven wrong?"

"What? Are you jealous? Look at you! You've come out with a depressed face! Was your dream of being a star shattered?" Paige said sarcastically.

    Paige's assistant gave her a push, signaling her to calm down so that she wouldn't be carried away by her agitation, and said, "Paige, you're up next!"The door to the exhibition hall was opened and the person in charge walked out. Paige pretended to fix her hair and was ready to go in for the audition.However, the person in charge turned to everyone and announced, "Let's call it a day now. You may all leave. We have found our brand spokesperson and our hostess.""What?"Everyone was struck numb. They'd only interviewed one person, so how...how could everything be settled already?"That's right. Jessica Bush will be both the spokesperson and the hostess.""Impossible!""That's not fair!"The person in charge tried to keep the crowd in order with his men, and said with his voice raised, "This is our president Mr. Maddox's personal decision. It won't be changed!""Mr. Maddox?""Paige, you know Mr. Maddox, don't you? Go talk to him. We prepared for this for so long and haven't

    The deal was sealed.Now Jessica became a married woman."Mr. Maddox, I have a request.""Say it." Christian crossed his legs and looked at her lazily."I don't want to make our relationship public for the time being.""Why?""In order to get back what belongs to me, I can't make Adam suspicious for the time being, but don't worry, I am your wife now and I will remain faithful to you. I will move back to my own house."He believed in her, especially in the face of her determined face.As Adam's fiancee, she was still a virgin. He had nothing to worry about."Okay!"Christian's narrow eyes flickered, and his eyes were sharp when looking at her again, "But you have to hurry up. I'm not a man with patience."Jessica agreed and said, "Thank you for today.""It's nothing.""But in the future, I want to rely on myself."Jessica got out of the car. Ethan Binder, the special assistant, asked Christian in the back seat, "President, would you just let your wife go like this? Adam a

    "That's nonsense!"Adam didn't expect that Adela was the problem. This woman with strong jealousy would ruin him someday!"Jess, don't be foolish. I will never think of you like that! How about you break the contract?"Jessica's eyes became tearful, "You don't support me?"Adam was afraid of her crying, especially in the Bush family, so he hurriedly comforted her, "Aren't we getting married soon? There are many things to do, and I am worried that you might get tired." “It's okay. With your support, I can definitely manage it." Jessica smiled.In the evening, Adam wanted to stay in the Bush family. But Jessica said she had to keep her mother, Madam Bush, company and let him go.For fear of anything wrong, Adam was on the alert and decided to restrain himself these days. He didn't even go find Adela after she called several times. At night, Jessica slept on Madam Bush's bed. While her mother caressed her hair, she murmured, "Mom, why did you give me so many shares in Wasin Grou

    Jessica also smiled politely, "I want to help you become the chairman of Wasin Group."Nathan was a little surprised at first and then smiled in disbelief, "Thanks for your kindness, Miss Bush, but even with the support of you and your family, it won't be possible.""We can't make it this time, but someday we will make it. I just want to form an alliance with you first."Nathan's eyes lit up, "I suppose you won't help me for no reason, right?"Jessica smiled heartily and then cut to the chase."First of all, I don't like Cain and Jared. Wasin Group may not survive long after it is handed over to them. My parents and the old chairman are very good friends. I don't want to see that happen. Besides, I hope you can do me a favor."Knowing that she was planning for something, Nathan seemed to feel relieved."I know that you are the nephew of the director of the TV station. There is an Outstanding Youth Speech Show, which I hope can be directed by Gail."Nathan's eyes flickered, and

She said that you knew about that...""I didn't know that! Of course, I will support my father!" Adam was furious."Your father is always mean to you. He often beats and scolds you, doesn’t he?""After all, he is my father! I won't betray him!"Seeing that Adam was so firm, Jessica sneered in her heart. 'That's it. Without your father's money, how can you hook up with Adela.'"However, Adela said...""Adela! Adela! Don't mention her again! Can't you think about it by yourself?"

    "Okay!" Madam Bush said with a gratified smile. **The next day, Jessica went to see Gail. "Gail, are you still willing to work together with me?"Overexcited, Gail immediately agreed, "I've been longing for this day for a long time. Jess, let's be like before!"After working hard for a whole day, she and Gail finished the preparation for the exclusive interview with Mask perfectly so that they could just wait for the man's team to come to the TV station and discuss related matters tomorrow. Jessica asked about the Outstanding Youth Speech Program on purpose, and Gail answered in surprise that the station had finally left it to her. Gail conjectured, "Jess, is it you who got it for me?" Jessica just congratulated her smilingly but didn't hasten to explain. Two years ago, she resigned stubbornly, but she felt she had been so unfair to Gail. So, she took this as paying a debt to her. "It must be you."All smiles, Gail said, "Thank you, Jess. If there's anything I can

It may be changed. We'd better delay the preparation in case you will prepare for it in vain...""What's the matter?" Jessica frowned slightly."I have arranged for someone to investigate and haven't gotten the exact news yet. It is said that the organizers of Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve have changed their minds and will invite Adela to replace you...," the assistant said."Adela?"Gail was drinking coffee and writing the plan in Jessica's office.

[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.

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.

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?

Meanwhile, everyone received the email that announced Gail's promotion to senior editor.The directors in their team were all delighted. 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.

    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. He hurled the interview outline she'd given him to the floor and, springing to his feet testily, blustered, "I see any of those pho

    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
