Chapter 36

Luke throws the phone away on being hung up, and wipes his hair. Being caught up with what George said, he lifts up the corners of his lips with contempt.

He’s got to be kidding?

It would be an overestimation that so typical a playboy as George could conclude some reasonable theories.

As the evening lights are hit, the bustling view outside the French window lasts long, and such view traps many people who indulge in it.

On entering the bathroom after a shower, Jenny finds a missed call and a message both from her agent Shawn.

“Fridays’ Eight Thirty Season Two features you and Jessica. Press conference is tomorrow. I will pick you up downstairs at 7am to do the makeup.

Seize the chance.”

Jenny rubs her eyes, and instantly gets confused when confirming it’s really a message from Shawn.

Friday’s Eight Thirty is a reality show about various aspects in stars’ daily lives, broadcast at 8:30pm every Friday. This well-made show is rather popular in different place, and thus many stars volunteer to lower their payment to participate but still don’t get the chance. As for Jessica, she’s given this chance for she was esteemed as movie queen and needs to strengthen the relation with her fans.

Jenny texts with careful thoughts, “Shawn, are you sure about that?”

She gets a call back sooner than she expects.

“Still up?”

“Yes, just took a shower and got your message...”

“It’s the company’s decision. We’ll talk about it when we meet tomorrow. There will be no recording tomorrow but a press conference for the opening ceremony. All you got to do is read your lines on the news release, which I’ll give to you.”

“So I will partner with Jessica?”

Jessica’s partner makes Jenny uncertain about whether this will be a valuable good chance or not.

Perceiving Jenny’s slight unhappiness, Shawn says, “Jenny, I know roughly about what happened between you and Jessica, but you should be well aware that there is no permanent enemy or friend in this circle. Figure out what you need and make sure you do everything towards it. That’s enough.”

To this speech Jenny makes no answer before saying blandly a few seconds later, “Shawn, I got it. But I’m not in my house, so you won’t need to pick me up, and I’ll do my own makeup. Just please tell me the address.”

“Okay, make sure you get to the backstage at 9 and let me check the makeup.”

“Sure.”

“Good night.”

Jenny has trouble falling asleep after the call.

The idea that abrupt chances always come with unknown risks disturbs her profoundly.

Does the chance come from association with Luke?

How she wishes not! But her sense tells her it does.

Under the neon light, both she and Luke in the other room couldn’t fall asleep.

This is the first time Luke’s had insomnia. He suddenly wonders without a reason what Jenny is doing.

When he bought this apartment, he liked the sound-proof effect of the rooms; but he regrets that now since he can’t even hear whether Jenny is still taking a bath with the perfect sound-proof effect.

At the thought of Jenny’s poor face, he feels some pain in his heart as if something stabbed it.

Jenny is very beautiful but not the most beautiful one among actresses; but the unique temperament in her has made her outstanding as time goes by. Her beauty stands the test of time.

But her smile with dimples limits her repertoire: it seems she can only act as a clever girl.

Her baby may also have dimples.

When the idea occurs to Luke, his mind abruptly goes blank.

Did he just think of the baby?

...

Next morning, Jenny realizes something serious when she wanders about in the room.

She doesn’t have anything to wear for today.

The dress she wore yesterday absolutely doesn’t fit today’s occasion.

As she pulls the closet door, she is stunned by the lines of white shirts and black ones.

Luke usually gets up at 7 but the noise from the living room wakes him up today, making him frowns.

What is she doing so early?

When she changes her shoes by the door, Luke opens the door and scares her so that she abruptly turns around to stare at him.

The stare lasts for a while before Jenny breaks the ice.

“Well, I’m going out for work. Did I wake you up?”

Luke frowns, “It’s early. Let the driver take you there.”

Jenny shakes her hands, “I’m good. I’ll get a taxi.”

On finishing her words, she hastily grabs her phone and leaves.

Luke stands by the door in his gray pajama with messy hair, and he seems to realize something as he watches the closed door with his rarely-seen dreamy eyes.

Did he ever see those clothes before?

Jenny runs almost desperately out of the apartment to get a taxi for she gets all the clothes from Luke’s closet. A black hat on her head, a black mask on her face, half a white shirt on her left body and half a black one on her right body, with sleeves tying around the waist, which make a chic shirt dress.

The cab’s driver gets confused at the look at the lady in thick, weird clothes from the mirror, but doesn’t say anything after a thought.

Jenny is heading to a private beauty salon to do her makeup for it’s still early at 7 and she didn’t remove all her makeup without her cosmetic bag last night.

At 9:50, Jenny gets to the backstage late.

Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage Chapter 35 Like Mom, Please Marry Daddy Chapter 435 The Last Part Of The Final Episode The Billionaire's Past Shawn has been waiting for Jenny for almost an hour with no answering of her phone calls, and looks extremely angry to see Jenny.

The conference is ready except Jessica and Jenny. What would come next?

As Jenny runs through the corridor on her high heels, Shawn instantly puts on a cold face.

“Jenny, do you have no notion of time?”

She didn’t mean to be late but the salon didn’t open till 9, before which she waited for 2 hours at the door. It took her half an hour to do the makeup and 20 minutes to get here by taxi.

“I don’t have time for craps now. I’ll get even with you after the conference. Get to the stage now.”

Shaw shakes her hands, looking impatient.

“Where’s Jessica?” Jenny looks around but to find no such a splendid figure.

“Not the time for asking. Get to the stage.”

Shawn scolds her and she doesn’t dare to retort, lowering her head. She calms herself down by taking a deep breath with her hands on the chest before walking to the middle of spotlight on the red carpet.

“Let’s welcome our pretty, talented movie queen, Jessica Vogt...”

Jenny is in such a shock that she can no long move forward as if her shoes got stuck on the floor.
