On the first floor of the hotel, Jessica is looking for Frankie to complain about that Luke protects Jenny just now. But Frankie is busy to follow Mr.
Wang and communicates with other visitors. He isnât available to talk to her, so she is boring and has some wine. She comes up with an idea when she sees the person who is going to the second floor alone after drinking with Mr. Wang.
Luke doesnât like such occasions, so he seldom attends banquets. He shows up today because of the purchase. Now that the wine part is over, heâs about to leave. He suddenly feels confusingly anxious to meet Jenny.
There are not many people on the second floor. After walking a few steps, Luke hears the hurried sound of high heels from behind.
Luke gets a glimpse of a figure in a pink dress on the broken mirror. His eyes instantly flash with coldness.
âAre you following me to fish for my family issue?â
The abrupt voice echoes in the long corridor, which is like the cold winter wind blowing to the heart.
Jessica shrinks and explains hurriedly, âMr. Lu, I donât mean that. I just want to apologize for what happened. I was too straightforward and didnât think about Jennyâs feelings. I was wrong. But everyone in our company knows what happened, so I thought she wouldnât take it seriously.â
Her explanation is quite leaking.
Luke hates stupid people pretending to be smart, women in particular.
âSo, Iâd love to apologize to Jenny.â
Luke remains silent, looking over her with a vague smile. Itâs not clear whether thereâs smile in his eyes or coldness, or both. Jessicaâs heart trembles, and looks carefully behind him, âAre you looking for Jenny...â
Luke glances over Jessicaâs dress and fixes his eyes on her trembling eyes, âDonât play wise in front of me. I can make anyone more popular than you. Youâre not the only choice.â
His tone and his eyes almost freeze Jessica.
She feels her legs go limp.
Did she just offend Luke? Could it be that serious? She even hasnât done anything yet...
Watching Luke walk away, she gets angrier and angrier. If she was declared guilty, she should have done something which might be the only hope to change the situation.
âMr. Lu, just to remind you.â
Luke slightly holds his step without turning around.
Seeing that, Jessica pulls the hemline and hurries to walk ahead.
âJenny isnât as pure as she appears. Without any background, how would she survive in Jade Picture? Iâm sure you understand. If she wasnât involved in those scandals, she would be the lead of Mr. Wangâs new movie.â
Jade Picture has many excellent female stars, most of whom will do anything to get a chance. As Luke mentioned, Jessica isnât the only choice of the company, neither is Jenny.
Luke turns around slowly, âOh? Iâm interested now. What should I know?â
âJenny has been with Frankie since they were kids. It was a long relation. But Frankie wasnât capable enough to get Jenny any further, so Jenny broke up with him. After that, she met you. Donât you feel upset about that?â
Perceiving Lukeâs hesitation look, Jessica slows down her steps and her tone, âSheâs connected with quite many male stars in our company. They say awful things about her.â
âTell me.â
âThey say...â Jenny sighs, looking as if he hesitates to continue, âEvery man might be her bed partner.â
To make Jenny popular, Shawn tells to the reporters many times that she is in love with a famous star. He can search the reports on the net. Jessica doesnât lie about that.
Jessica firmly believes that Luke, such a successful man, wouldnât trust Jenny deeply since they havenât known each other for a long time. No one else would in such a case.
Her words echo in the corridor.
âDoes telling me all these bring you any good?â
â...â
Jessica is shocked to receive such an indifferent reaction from Luke. Instantly, her mind goes blank and she rambles in her statement, âI just think such a man like you deserves the truth...â
âShould I say thank you?â
â...â
Every single one of his words is freezing.
âYouâd better promise youâll bring as much profit to the company as you do now. Or else, your blackening other peopleâs name would put an end to your acting career.â
As Jessicaâs legs go limp, she staggers back, holding on the wall.
His words make sense in terms of the profit of the company. But why Jessica thinks he aims at her and protects Jenny?
Behind the stairs on the third floor, George in white suit observes the whole process. He puts on a big and teasing smile.
Luke doesnât care a bit about her feeling when scolding. His words can be overwhelming whether they make sense or not. Itâs been long since they met, but George rarely sees him talk to troublesome ladies. Does she really like that girl called Jenny?
Seeing Luke is about to disappear at the end of the corridor, Jessica still struggles to say the last words, holding on the wall, âDonât you know she has an unclean family? Her father has been serving a life sentence for corruption since three years ago and her mother committed suicide for taking drugs. Donât you know any of those?â
Jenny isnât as pure as the company defined her. If any of these was released, her image would be ruined since the society canât take corruption or drugs.
âFour years ago, she was awarded Golden Bear. In that year, she had many jobs. But a year after, she faded out of the entertainment circle. It had been three whole years. Who would give up such a good chance out of no reason? Thatâs because her father was sent to prison and her mother took drugs due to depression. All those were hidden deliberately. Three years after, all these passed and she made the public appearance again.â
Jessica has no idea how those were hidden, either. Even though she says Jenny got help from behind, but no one has ever given her jobs since she made the public appearance again. Perhaps her helper abandoned her for a new star? Jessica takes it that way.
Anyway, Jessica doesnât believe a family with the political and military background would tolerate such a lady with an unclean family background.
Luke frowns and keeps his hands off the metal door handle of the balcony.
