Damon and Jeanette shared a look. She quickly jumped off his lap. She lost her footing in her high-heeled shoes and fell, bumping into a shelf next to the office desk.Then, the files, crystal ornaments, and everything else on the shelf landed on the floor with a loud crash.The place turned into a disaster area.Jeanette really couldn’t be bothered to clean up the place. She buried her face in her hands and ran.However, gossip could travel at speed far beyond anyone’s expectation.In just
Damon held her hand tightly, refusing to loosen his grip for even one second. He reveled in the thought of showing his wife off to all of his employees in the company. A wife who really deserved to be shown off.Jeanette was beginning to suspect that he had deliberately orchestrated that scene in the office this morning.At a bar…Elias leaned against the bar counter, drinking himself to oblivion, ordering glass after glass from the waiter.There weren’t a lot of people at the bar, as it was
Elias was taken aback and chuckled bitterly. “I’ve never thought of myself as an outsider before.”“Of course you are! Who do you think you are? A friend? So you think you can meddle in her life just because you’re her friend? Besides, she’s married. Damon hasn’t even made a move to help, but you did. What would happen if Damon found out? How can you expect Jeanette to face him? Have you ever considered that?”Mimi’s slew of questions rendered Elias completely speechless.“So, she’s angry bec
Mimi immediately escaped from underneath the man’s arms and explained, “Please don’t get this wrong. We… We were just rehearsing a scene!”“Yes, yes, yes. Rehearsing. Of course you’ll have to rehearse before we start filming. Please, continue.” The assistant director looked as if he completely understood the situation and led the journalists away to leave the room.This wasn’t the assistant director’s first time doing a film with this actor. He knew exactly what the man was like. It was no sec
In reality, Leighton Inc.’s deficit was like a bottomless pit.Damon had planned on using this bottomless pit to carry out a few things.“There’s going to be a cocktail party tonight, and you’re coming with me,” he told Jeanette.This was Jeanette’s first time accompanying Damon to an event like this. He had never introduced her into his social circle before.Hence, she was very nervous.Damon handed her a gown that he had prepared and told her to wear it. However, she was hesitant.“Why d
It’s true, she was a little nervous.This may be like a run-of-the-mill cocktail party, but it was her first time attending as Damon’s date.A man like Damon was the center of attention, no matter where he went, and she was standing next to him. She was afraid that she would pale in comparison to him.“Don’t worry. I’ll introduce you to a few friends.”Damon held her hand. The warmth from his hand immediately calmed her.He led her toward the spot where he had been previously at and introdu
They were celebrities, after all. Even a cocktail full of business owners couldn’t help staring at a man who had been named Best Actor.Jeanette would never have thought that Damon would actually invite him.“Mimi’s close to being cast out of the entertainment circle thanks to that scandal, and yet he’s still so relaxed about it. He’s even dragged his pregnant wife into a public event.” She grumbled irritably.“Kelvin Spacey’s wife is the Ted Group’s Vice President and one of the Godfrey Group’s partners. She’s the one I invited,” Damon explained quietly.Jeanette was taken aback. She couldn’t help staring at Mrs. Spacey.‘Mrs. Spacey looks like a gentle person. So she’s a powerful woman then? Looks like you really can’t judge a book by its cover.’Since she was one of the Godfrey Group’s partners, Damon had to greet her as well, and Jeanette quickly tagged along.After a greeting and some small talk, Damon and Mrs. Spacey began discussing an ongoing project. Jeanette and Kelvin
“Killed off? But we’re only halfway through filming!”“Why are you asking me? The management made that decision. Regardless, your scenes have been cut. In the next two days, we’ll edit a scene where you jump off a cliff and die. Then the second female protagonist will be promoted to main female lead to continue the love story with the male lead.”Mimi stood in her place, completely shocked.This was her first period film in a few years, and it was a big production too. She had poured more tha
