"Why?"Jessica lifted her chin. Although she tried to be strong, she couldn't help but shed tears.Realizing that his voice was too cold and sharp, Christian softened his tone. "You needn't have bothered to care about that.""Then what should I do in your eyes?"She was furious and sneered. "Make coffee? Plant flowers? Go shopping?"She knew that he didn't mean that, but she said so to provoke him. "I will find out the truth. The more eagerly someone wants to stop me, the more eagerly I want to find it out!"Christian was still angry, but he suppressed his anger and tried to comfort the furious Jessica. "If you insist on finding out the truth, leave it to me."Jessica shook her hair behind her shoulder. "I don't trust you."After she finished speaking, she turned around and got in the car. In front of Christian, she got the car started. The car roared backwards and the water on the road went flying. It rained last night. 'She doesn't trust me!''She said that she didn't care
The warm temperature took away some of the menstrual pain, and Jessica felt much better during the lunch break.As soon as she changed her clothes, Ethan appeared behind her, saying, "Madam, please get in the car."Christian wanted to apologize?Jessica glanced at the eye-catching luxury van and asked faintly, "What’s the matter?""It's time for lunch, and Mr. Maddox is waiting for you." Ethan felt his explanation was silly."Not necessary, I have a lot of scenes to shoot in the afternoon, so I will have box lunch here." Jessica then turned around and left.Talent League also had several young male spokespersons. They were members of an idol group. Those boys were gathering together and having lunch now. Jessica walked over directly."Hi Jessica, you’re going to have box lunch as well?" One of the staff asked in surprise.Jessica opened the packed lunch and took a bite, saying, "Why not? Is the box lunch not enough?"The boys burst into laughter together."Jessica, would you
Christian's pupils were dark, and his face was serious.He thought it was really a wrong decision to let Jessica be the spokesperson of Talent League!He had watched her cuddling with his good-for-nothing brother so many times. It was too unseemly!Looking at Christian's sullen face from a distance, Wade was so scared that he dared not breathe heavily.But Jessica who was being watched by Christian was unmoved. She didn't even look at him but asked the director lightly."Director, has this take passed?""Yes!""The shooting today is over, right?""Yes, it's over.""Thanks for your hard work, everyone."After speaking, Jessica turned around and walked towards the dressing room, ignoring Christian throughout the whole process, who had a gloomy expression on his face.Before Ethan found the dressing room, Jessica had quickly changed clothes and left through the back door without removing her makeup...She received a call from Gail on the way back home."Jess, Ethan just notif
After the quarrel, Jessica hadn't figured out how she should face Christian.But he had pretended to come cross her everywhere in the past two days...Jessica knew that Gail must want to help them reconcile, but there were some things she couldn't tell Gail in detail, so Gail didn't know the inside story, thinking they were just bickering.Jessica decided to treat him as invisible.When discussing the candidates of the guests and their following producers, Christian suddenly frowned."Mask again?"Mr. Maddox finally spoke!He had listened carefully the whole time but had never expressed his opinion once. The program group had almost forgotten his existence. Now, he had questioned the candidates of the guests, did it mean…The schedule of Mask was very tight. The program group had negotiated with his agent for a long time to book a slot for three episodes. Would they have to cancel it because of Mr. Maddox’s veto?"Mask is a god-like existence in the field of e-sports. Judging
They began to record the show the next day.Jessica had gone back to the Bush family to sleep last night. When Christian arrived at the recording scene, Ethan carried two suitcases from the car. And then he trotted to Jessica with one of them, saying, “Madam, this is your luggage. Mr. Maddox has specially prepared it for you.""Thanks."Jessica glanced at Christian who was in dynamic sportswear not far away and said in a cold tone, "But please take it back. I’ve brought my own.""Uh..."Seeing Jessica turn around and walk away without showing any respect to Mr. Maddox at all, Ethan felt so embarrassed that he did not dare to look into Christian's eyes, worrying that his boss would be irritated and deduct his bonus this quarter.Before the recording started, the guests were getting to know each other.Gail also accompanied Jessica to communicate with the guests and the program team. When they walked to Flora, the atmosphere became particularly embarrassing."Jessica, long time n
The moment Flora fell down, Christian was getting impatient. Was he going to wait for her? He was clearly trying to spoil the mood of the young man and woman talking to each other behind...Suddenly, he saw a woman fall towards him. Christian quickly turned to his left and perfectly dodged the woman who was about to fall on him."Ah..."Flora screamed. Seeing that she was about to hit her head on the ground, the team leader was quick to reach out and grab Flora when her head was less than three centimeters from the ground.The photographer, who specialized in filming Flora, crouched down with his machine and captured this image.Flora was too much of a troublemaker. She sometimes fell and then shouted, so the workload of her photographer was simply ten times more than the others."Mr. Maddox, you... why didn't you catch me..." Flora stood up straight and cried.Christian didn't even bother to look at her. He took a glance at the woman walking on the outer edge of the line.‘Dam
"Come on!" The watching guests and program staff began to cheer for them.Flora shyly held Christian's strong arm and bent down to reach the basketball in the net bag on the ground.Suddenly with a thud, Flora fell from Christian's back and her head was plunged into the net bag filled with basketballs.The audience burst out a boo. The situation was awkward. Everyone tried to hold in their laughters.The sudden fall and the dull pain put Flora on the spot, but she still had to wait for the cameras to come around to get enough pictures. After all, this would be a trending topic—By the time several staff pulled her out of the net bag, Flora’s eyes with heavy make-up were bloodshot red. She was too ashamed to face the cameras.Flora was desperate. She must look extremely terrible while heading down into the net bag."Mr. Maddox, I forgot to remind you once again the rules of the game. Once the person-on-back’s feet hit the ground, then the challenge fails." The team leader informe
Christian stood there and watched coldly as other men beat him to show courtesy to his wife.Looking at Mask's hand, Jessica hesitated for a second, but still stood up by herself, "I'm fine.""I have ointment for bruises in my room. I'll give it to you later.""Thank you."Christian's face darkened, causing Ethan, who was standing on the periphery, to gasp.Usually, when Mr. Maddox looked like this, the whole company was going to be in trouble...Flora was just holding back her tears and feeling aggrieved. Now, when she saw Jessica had also been thrown to the ground, she suddenly didn't feel so bad.This showed that Mr. Maddox was not just against her...Although Jessica took the initiative to end the game, her team with Christian only scored one point. The other male guests were in groups of two, but after all, men were heavier, so the best score was only two points. They weren't too bad.Of course, she was confident she could have taken the first place with Christian if she
The next day, Jessica went to work in the TV station. Her assistant reported the recent schedule to her.Jessica listened for a while, raised her head and asked, "Didn't you say that I needed to prepare for Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve next week?"The assistant said in a hurry, "It occurs to me... 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. When Gail heard that, she stood up and said anxiously, "Adela has just made a comeback. Even though she becomes popular slightly, how can she replace Jess in the image or influence?""It is said that Adela's remuner
[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 would better be prepared before she met the chances. If so, she would be more confident.Hawley paused. It took him some time t
The next afternoon, when it was time for Jessica to get off work, Hawley arrived at the appointed time.Jessica took him to the nearest restaurant to the TV station. 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. When I studied abroad, I wrote it with my best friend. I almost finish it recently. I believe
Griffin kept his promise.The next day after Jessica's return, Jakesville TV Station put the interview of GL's successor, Neil, on the air. 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. 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. 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
