The assistant’s mind exasperated Mimi. It’s not like she didn’t understand Mimi.In her eyes, love was love, work was work. No matter how much she wanted to become famous, she would never mix both together.If she were the kind of person to betray her own feelings for her own benefit, she would have agreed to this long ago. She wouldn’t have needed to wait until now for Zeke to pursue her.Besides, if she were that kind of girl, she would have enjoyed a smooth-sailing career like Britney. She would not have fallen to a C or D-list actress. She had avoided agreeing to Zeke’s request because she didn’t want to mix business with pleasure. All she wanted was a pure, romantic relationship.Even though Zeke’s position in the entertainment industry was so formidable that many famous producers had to grant him some leeway. If he were unhappy with any actor, he would recast straightaway, regardless of how powerful they were.He was the only director in the industry with power and persona

The script supervisor was exasperated. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re the best, Mr. Russo. I’d never have the nerve to overthrow you. If what you say is true, and Mimi doesn’t like these kinds of things, take her to a candlelit dinner. Women love romance. Any woman would feel moved by a romantic setting like that.”“Candlelit dinner?” Zeke narrowed his eyes. This seemed like a pretty good idea.“Of course. Women love romantic settings. Having her prince charming take her to a candlelit dinner is the most romantic thing in the world. No woman could possibly resist that kind of romance,” the script supervisor said confidently.Zeke narrowed his eyes and stared at him apprehensively. “Are you sure? Will she like it?”The man waved his hand. “Of course. How did she react when you took her to dinner the last few times? Women have greedy appetites. As long as the food at the restaurant is tasty enough and the ambiance romantic enough, they’ll love it.”Zeke paused thoughtfully. “She seemed to l

“I’m happy that you’ve managed to meet a man like that. What are you waiting for? Why won’t you lock him down? Why are you still hesitating?”Mimi turned around and looked at Jeanette, who was next to her. “But Jeanette, I… don’t love him…”Jeanette was taken aback. Suddenly, she had no idea what to say.“Plenty of people have asked me to lock him down ASAP. He really likes me, I can tell. He’s really changed a lot for me.” Mimi sighed as she spoke.“You should hold onto him.”“But I really don’t love him. I felt so awkward when he confessed his feelings for me. All I wanted to do was run away. I break into a sweat whenever I see the way he looks at me with so much passion in his eyes. My heart's a mess. I feel so uncomfortable whenever he shows his feelings for me. Jeanette, do you really think I can spend the rest of my life with someone like that?”Mimi really wasn’t sure if she could be with a man she didn’t love for the rest of her life. Many people claimed that not every hu

Mimi was right. She was stupid. How could she be stupid enough to waste so many years on one man?She had been like a rooted tree when she admired him from afar, like an idiot. She had worked hard and studied, just to be in the same college as he was. Everything she had done was for him.When they had gotten married, he hated her during their first two years. Not only had he been humiliating her with particularly vicious words, but he would also have women on the side, one after another. She had continued staying by his side anyway.Actually, at the time, she had already thrown all of her dignity out the window. At that time, it seemed like no good would come from this marriage.Later, he had softened up. She had been under the impression that he had truly changed and wanted to be with her forever. No one expected her to run into his affair with the secretary.In the end, this affair had struck a fatal blow to her confidence in their relationship, putting her into a fit of madness

The object of Mimi’s affection and love had always been him! Him, and only him, and no other sons of b*tches!Elias’ unflinchingly asinine invective stung Mimi into a startle. She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms as a painful gash tore open across her heart.How could he say that? Was that who she was to him? Was he so disgusted by his own impression of her that he cut across the city to where she lived just to humiliate her like this?Mimi had neve
