"I know." Aria suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. The only thing she could do now was to go to Serenity and ask her directly.She must find out what the relationship between Serenity and Lucas was!When Serenity came out of the bathroom in the evening, she saw from the gap underneath the door connecting the two rooms that the light in the other room was turned on.Was Jackson... home?Serenity knocked on the door. She wanted to talk to him about the matter of going to work in his car.However, the door was not closed properly, so when she knocked on it, it was instantly pushed open. She immediately saw a large projection on a screen diagonally to her left. It was a video conference. She could see many foreigners on the screen.The people in the video conference obviously saw her too. They all turned towards her."That's a woman... What's a woman doing in your room at this hour, Jack?" Someone asked in astonishment."Jack, is she your girlfriend?""Why don't you introduce
Serenity felt like a panda being on display at the zoo."Hmm? Do you really want me to send you to work?" he asked again.Her face became even redder. She answered sharply, "No." She then hastily retreated back to her room and closed the connecting door.Jackson smiled. When he turned around, his face had returned to its usual stoic expression. He walked back to the chair, sat down, and unmuted."Let's continue the meeting," Jackson said indifferently, ignoring the curious looks."Jack, was that the person who called you during our last meeting?" Someone could not hold back his curiosity anymore and asked.Jackson raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you really want to know?"The man shivered upon hearing that. He laughed it off and said, "Umm... Yeah, let's continue the meeting."Although the meeting went on normally after that, all of them could not stop thinking of one thing – their CEO was living together with a woman!Aria went to the rental house to look for Serenity, but
Aria's face turned stiff. However, she could not afford to get mad right now, so she could only put on a fake smile. She took out her wallet and asked Serenity, "How much?""$106," replied Serenity.Aria took out $200 from her wallet, trying to act generous. "Keep the change. Consider it a gift from me."Serenity scoffed. She took the money and said, "A gift from you? Please, I'm the one who's showing you kindness by only taking this much. If I press charges for assault, how much do you think you would have to pay?"Aria blushed profusely. Fortunately, she was wearing a mask so no one saw it.She had almost forgotten that Serenity used to be a lawyer!"I would never hurt you on purpose." Aria put on a fake smile. "It was an accident, I swear.""Aria, what's the point of putting on a show in front of me?" Serenity looked at Aria in amusement, "You and I both know what kind of person you are. There's no one else here. All this acting will just make me think that you're a clown."
But the women were under the illusion that they were being spoiled.Aria took off her sunglasses and glared at Serenity with eyes that looked like they were spitting fire. "Serenity, Lucas is mine!""You should tell him that, not me," Serenity replied coldly."You..." Aria harrumphed and walked away furiously.Since she could not get any answer from Serenity, there was no point in wasting her time. However... she would make Serenity pay for what she said today!What did Serenity mean by "it's not like you'll be Lucas Gomez's girlfriend for long"? She would be Lucas Gomez's last girlfriend!She would not concede Lucas Gomez to anyone no matter what!That night, Serenity received a voice message from the organizer of the extras. He asked her to go to the same filming venue again on her day off this week."The director said you did pretty well in some of the shots. There's a group scene that they still haven't filmed yet. They want to use the same group of extras as last time for
Her face became even redder. She tried her best to move her face away from his fingers, but his fingers followed her like a shadow; she could not avoid them at all."Jackson Valor, stop teasing me," she said, short of breath. Under the light, her almond-shaped eyes did not look as gloomy as usual; in fact, due to her anger, they looked very spirited.He stared at her eyes in fascination. He had seen many eyes that were prettier, but this was the only pair of eyes that could fascinate him like this.Looking into her eyes, it made him want to monopolize her gaze. He did not want her to look at other men with those eyes."What if I'm not teasing you? What if I tell you that I can give you as much money as you want? Would you be willing to put up with me?"She could feel the coolness of his touch on her lips, as if his fingertips were continuously taking away her heat."I'd only take what I earn with my labor," she said, but she could not stop her heart from beating fast.He must be
"Don't say that, Melly!" Someone chided her."I'm just stating a fact," the woman named Melissa Zest snorted."But it's also a fact that she just got off a BMW," another person said."Maybe she managed to land a rich guy. Some people don't have any talent, but they know how to seduce men," said Melissa, her voice filled with jealousy.Last week, she thought Serenity was really unlucky to offend the second female lead, but who could have expected the prince of the entertainment industry to suddenly step forward and carry her all the way to the break room?Melissa was incredibly jealous. She had always dreamed of getting an opportunity like that. Melissa regretted it for days afterwards.If she had known, she would have volunteered when Aria Lewis asked Serenity to demonstrate the kneeling and kowtowing. Although it was humiliating, it won Lucas Gomez's attention, so it was definitely worth it.Melissa thought the luxury car just now must belong to Lucas Gomez. He must have asked
Everybody in the crew and cast had to pander to her. Even if Lucas had saved Serenity once, it was only a little incident; no one would offend Aria for an extra.The director told everyone to take their spot, and filming started.When they reached the scene where the extras had to kneel, a member of the crew suddenly ran to the director's side and said a few words in the director's ear. The director looked surprised. He got up and left in a hurry.Except for those who were in the scene, everyone else looked curiously in the direction the director had gone to. They wondered what had happened to make the director leave in such a hurry.They saw the director walking up to a man in a beige trench coat. The director lowered his head slightly as he spoke to the man and seemed to be showing the man a lot of respect. Seeing this, they speculated that the man was probably someone very important.The director was decently famous in the industry. He would not talk to an ordinary person like
Most of the people there did not hear the conversation between Jackson and the director. When they saw Jackson walking towards the group of extras, they could not help whispering and speculating among themselves.Several of the female extras were overjoyed to see Jackson walking towards them. They put on what they thought was their most lovely smile.Melissa Zest was naturally one of them. She wished she could just leap into Jackson's arms.She was even thinking if she should pretend to faint or accidentally stumble into Jackson so that she could start a conversation and get acquainted with him.After all, he was Jackson Valor, a man who could move mountains in Solaria.If she could catch Jackson Valor's eye, even if she only ended up as his mistress, it would be something that many women could only dream of.Moreover, she heard that Jackson Valor was not that interested in women. His only fiancée died in a car accident more than three years ago. If she actually managed to seduce
