Anyone could tell that Mimi was deliberately singling Jeanette out.However, just a few days ago, Mimi had still been addressing her as “Jeanette” in a friendly manner.It would seem that, after her breakup with Elias, she was using Jeanette as a punching bag while she was at it, seeing as she was Elias’ friend.“I’m sorry, Miss Norton. I’ll have someone change the props immediately. Please wait.” Jeanette had no choice but to reply politely.“It’s not just the props. It’s the lights, the se
However, what did Mimi and Elias’ relationship have to do with her?Jeanette was now a scapegoat. That exasperated her and annoyed her. However, she couldn’t even explain herself.The next day…Just as everyone from the office was getting ready at the studio, and they were about to rush through the filming, someone informed them, “Mimi wasn’t feeling well, so she had to go to the hospital. She can’t do the video shoot.”“What’s going on? Miss Norton was perfectly fine yesterday.”The shoot
Jeanette nodded.Even a judge would have difficulty in settling an argument between lovers, and she was no judge. Hence, she chose to run.As soon as she left the room, she could hear Mimi screaming loudly, dragging out every syllable, “Elias Burnham, you bast*rd!”The sound of it was deafening.…That afternoon, Mimi reappeared at the film studio.Jeanette didn’t know how Elias had managed to persuade her, but based on the sullen look on her face, he probably didn’t do it very well.Luck
“You… What are you doing?”Damon didn’t move.Instead, he simply gazed at her quietly. For one second, two seconds… Nearly half a minute.The shadows cast by his eyelashes landed on his cheeks. The lights above his head were blinding. Jeanette wavered and nearly forgot to breathe.Finally, he stood up, turned around, and began taking off his jacket.Jeanette instinctively curled up under the covers. Damon tossed his jacket aside and told her, “I’ve received a message today. Madison migh
“Mr. Lindon, this matter is still unclear. Calm down!” Jeanette attempted to defend herself.However, the Internet was currently filled with highlights of Mimi’s promotional video.The release of a promotional video like this needed to go according to the promotional team’s timeline. An early leak like this was considered a loss on both sides.“You were in charge of managing everything after the end of the shoot. The video itself hasn’t been released. The highlights and photos were all on you
Jeanette sighed. “Actually, I thought you’d at least show some measure of sincerity after getting an outstanding girlfriend like Mimi.”“My sincerity is reserved for you. How could I possibly have room for anyone else?” he replied with a grin.‘This guy is always talking out of his *ss, no matter the occasion.’Jeanette rolled her eyes at him. “You’re always putting your foot in your mouth, always with a glib, silver tongue, flirting with women all the time. No woman would be able to tolerate you, no matter how great she is.”“So, is that why you’ve refused to be with me?”“Elias, I’m still Damon’s wife. You really should be more careful when speaking to me,” said Jeanette, quickly putting on a stern face after realizing that he was still being glib.“That’s now. It may not be true in the future, will it?”His remark put Jeanette in a gloomy mood. She wasn’t sure how long she would be able to remain in a prestigious family like the Godfreys.‘I completely gave up on the Godfrey
Jeanette hurriedly waved her hand. “No, he’s just a friend.”“Didn’t look like it. Look at how he’s staring at you. You clearly mean something to him, and you’re running away like a rabbit.”She could see Elias through the rearview mirror, still standing in his spot, not moving at all.Christophe, who was across the road, had already walked into the distance and was nowhere to be seen.She heaved a long sigh, feeling lost.‘Elias… Who knows whether he’s actually being serious or if he’s lying whenever he speaks? Maybe he was just fooling around with me today, on a whim.’When Jeanette arrived home, she realized that she had left all of her things with him in her rush to leave Elias' car!Even though most of the things she had carried out of the office after her dismissal were just a bunch of random personal items, her identification card and all sorts of important cards, and her wallet were among those items.Left with no choice, she gave Elias a call.“Could you send a delive
Although Jeanette was smiling on the outside, her heart had been pierced multiple times.There were numerous times when she would imagine the man in her heart would appear out of nowhere and save her from a helpless situation as she got bullied by her mother-in-law and the cold scorns from the bystanders.However, that man never appeared.Not even once…‘Forget about the fact that there’s no way he could be here since he’s overseas. Even if he was here, he’d probably not help me anyway.’Th
