Mimi waved her hand. "Silly, did you think I actually have appendicitis? I’m just lying to him."The assistant was shocked. "Huh? Mimi, so you’re fine! You were so good at acting earlier."Mimi hurriedly covered the assistant's mouth nervously. “Can you keep your voice down? Are you a fool? Do you want everyone on the crew to know that I'm faking an illness by speaking so loudly?"The assistant quickly realized what happened and lowered her voice. "So, Mimi, there’s nothing wrong with your body?"Mimi patted her chest. "Of course. I’m very healthy, but because I went to bed late last night, I’m still a little tired now.""So why were you late?" the assistant asked."It's because… I overslept." Mimi was a little embarrassed. She was probably the only actress in the entire universe who could be so unconcerned because she had offended the same director twice for not being punctual.However, Mimi really did not mean it. She could not stand being looked down upon by Zeke Russo, so sh
Jeanette felt troubled in her heart as those rumors, and the crisis made her sad and angry.Although the Godfrey Group was not the Leighton family’s company, it was the most important thing for Damon. As his wife, since she had taken over the important role of the CEO of the Godfrey Group, she must help him protect all of this.But how was she going to do that?As she was upset while thinking about it, Xavier opened the door without knocking and placed a cup of coffee on her desk."Sis, come and taste the coffee I made. All my friends who have tasted my coffee said that my coffee is delicious. You’re in luck. You get to enjoy it now," Xavier said with a smile. He always seemed to be in a good mood.Jeanette frowned and waved her hand helplessly, "Thanks. Just leave the coffee here. You can leave now."Unfortunately, Xavier did not leave. He curled his lips and leaned against her desk with his arms crossed. "Sis, aren’t you being too cruel? I worked so hard to make this coffee for
Xavier and Damon were brothers indeed. His evil smile was extremely similar to Damon’s, but even though Xavier’s face was similar to Damon's, Jeanette still did not like it when he watched her like that."Xavier, don't make a fool of me. Don’t you forget that I’m your sister-in-law," Jeanette said solemnly.Xavier disagreed and leaned on the couch playfully while looking at her with an obvious coquetry in his eyes. "Sis, you can't be sure. If I met you before Damon did, you wouldn’t be married to Damon now."Jeanette was a little agitated. She did not like it when he talked like this."What do you mean? Xavier, I don't like it when people make stupid jokes like this." Jeanette's eyes and gaze became serious.Xavier realized that if he continued fooling around, Jeanette would actually be angry. He shrugged and said, "Fine, I won't joke around with you anymore. Gosh. My ill-tempered sister-in-law is too brutal. Come on, we’re a family!"Jeanette rolled her eyes as she regretted bei
Jeanette sighed and called her secretary, telling her to order a meal. Xavier sat on the couch, perfectly at ease, as if this were not Jeanette’s office but his.Jeanette was speechless. She felt as if, ever since she had met Xavier, this was exactly how he behaved. He was always carefree, frivolous, and cynical as if everything was just a game to him.He sat there and realized that Jeanette was staring at him. He grinned at her, flashing his neat teeth. Jeanette turned away and lowered her head, continuing her work.She did not notice the aspirational look on Xavier’s face as he sat on the couch.“Damon… What would you do if I took the woman you love away from you?”…The sun was shining warmly in the ward, streaming into the room through the window, enveloping the snow-white room in a golden hue. Everything in the room felt so clean.Damon leaned against his hospital bed and looked at the contents on the news on his phone. His frown deepened. His ice-cold expression was a star
Xavier’s kiss brought a strange aura, invading her lips. She widened her eyes. Even her heart had stopped beating.Her nostrils were overwhelmed with Xavier’s cologne. It was different from Damon’s cold and woody fragrance. Xavier’s scent had a roguish air, spicy and charming. There was also a bit of cigarette stench.This was too strange. Jeanette was completely dumbfounded. Xavier’s kiss was not as lingering as Damon’s. His kiss had an ice-cold touch. No flopping around or seductive air. He simply coldly smashed it stiffly against her lips.It was as if there was no feeling. He had simply done it to capture her lips. This felt more like a vengeful kiss.Xavier kept his eyes half open to look at Jeanette’s magnified face. She seemed very shocked, but seeing her in this state put him in a good mood.He had pretty much plugged her lips. He thought of Damon sitting bitterly in the hospital ward while he spent mornings and evenings with his wife, and now he was kissing her at such
Jeanette quickly called him back. Damon answered as soon as the call was connected.“Hello, Jeanette? What’s wrong? What happened?” His voice was full of care and concern, which made Jeanette’s eyes sting. She nearly burst into tears.She had no idea what was wrong with her. Was it because she was frantic over the work in the office? Or because of Xavier’s absurd kiss moments ago?She had no idea why, but at that moment, she really wanted to bury herself in Damon’s arms and cry.However, she
Zeke walked toward them, and the assistant anxiously pleaded for help. “Mr. Russo, look at Mimi. What’s wrong with her? Why does she look so scary?”Zeke waved his hand. “Don’t worry. This is because she got too immersed in her role. A lot of actors enter this state whenever they get too absorbed in their role. It’s normal. She’ll return to her senses soon enough.”Then, he turned around and left.After a long pause, Mimi finally released a sigh and broke down into tears.“Mimi, why are you
Mimi stood up as soon as she said this, and the assistant helped her to her dressing room.This was Mimi’s final scene of the day. She could remove her makeup and clock out. The next scene would be filmed tomorrow. It wasn’t every day that she could clock out early.After removing her makeup and changing out of her costume, she sat in front of the mirror, staring at her bare-faced reflection. She was wearing a black jacket, and at that moment, she was completely certain that she was Mimi Norto
