“Absolutely. This is my passion.” Jessie beamed.
“Awesome. You and Julian should come over after we have the wedding preparations down.”
The sisters chatted until 11:00PM before they finally reluctantly ended the call.
Eva arrived on set bright and early the next morning. Though it was her first time playing a villainess, she still looked super cool. To her, acting was as easy as eating.
While she was reshooting Hazel’s scenes, Jessie, Julian, and Fabian were filming in the mountains.
After Hazel’s attempted defamation, Fabian had come to realize one thing—Julian’s feelings for Jessie. Since then, he had been keeping a polite distance from Jessie on set. And now, with Eva around, he’d chat with her whenever he was bored.
Jessie was much simpler, and she got along with the cast and crew pretty well. What was more, she’d help out without any hesitation whenever she could, and it left a great impression on everyone.
In fact, they’d retort whatever negative posts people had of Jessie online, for the young woman they knew was benign.
“Struggle a little harder later, Jessie. You have to show your will to resist,” Vincent directed.
It was a scene of Julian shackling Jessie in his arms. As Jessie focused on listening to Vincent, she naturally went to Julian’s side, and the latter also naturally put an arm around her.
Following Vincent’s cue, Jessie struggled. As she was holding a sword, she hit the hilt on Julian’s nose by accident. The young woman turned around instantly only to find blood trickling down the man’s nose.
“Oh, my God!” Dumbstruck, she reflexively hugged Julian. “Lie down, quick! You’re bleeding!”
However, Julian lifted his chin instead, feeling amused and frustrated at the same time as he comforted her, “It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.”
“I’m really sorry.” Jessie felt absolutely awful. Just then. Bethany came over with a damp towel, and Jessie helped Julian over to the chair aside to lie down. “Here, I’ll help you out,” expressed Jessie as she took a few pieces of napkins.
And just like that, the usually classy and noble Second Young Master of the Gilmore Family now had a ball of tissue paper shoved into one of his nostrils. But, of course, the crew aside dared not laugh even if they wanted to.
It seemed that the great Julian Gilmore would only ever listen to Jessie. As if anyone else would dare to do what the young woman did.
Because of his injury, Vincent had no choice but to reschedule their scenes to another day and send Julian on his way to the hotel to rest. As Jessie felt terrible, she volunteered to take care of him.
After returning to his room, Jessie demanded Julian lie down on the couch, forbidding him from getting up. At the same time, she sat aside and checked on his situation every now and then.
“I’m really sorry. It’s on me. I’ll be careful next time.” With that, she wrung the towel damp and gently wiped his face.
Meanwhile, Julian narrowed his eyes with absolute enjoyment as he smirked. “Oh, I bet there’ll be a next time.”
“C’mon, I said I’m sorry!” Jessie looked at him, then remembered how he looked with the ball of tissue stuck in his nose, and she couldn’t help bursting into laughter. The sweet laughter was like magic, healing Julian’s hurt little world.
That said, he was still rather exasperated, for he couldn’t believe the girl dared to laugh when she was the culprit to his injury. At that, he got up without warning and secured the back of her head before she could react to the situation. The next second, he moved his ravishing face close to her while the young woman was still processing what was going on.
Then, he gnawed her soft, moist lips exasperatedly with his thin lips, and Jessie’s eyes instantly widened with incredulity, her mind now blank. She had never shared such an intimate moment with any man before, and right then, the Julian Gilmore had stolen her first kiss away.
Julian, on the other hand, had just wanted to scare her, not liking the fact that she was ridiculing him. But who’d have thought he couldn’t let her go anymore after their lips touched?!
The hand clasping the back of Jessie’s head shifted down to the back of her neck like a shackle preventing her from backing out. Jessie’s mind was blank right then. All she knew was that Julian’s not- so-gentle nibbles became extremely gentle suckles gradually.
I-Is this what kissing feels like?
Never had Jessie imagined the idol she had always looked up to was now kissing her.
At that, she closed her eyes gently and reflexively wrapped her arms around his shoulder. The kiss appeared romantic and alluring in the quiet afternoon.
She loved how he dominated her with one of his hands clasping the back of her neck and the other pinching her chin gently. His muscular body wrapped around her as his breaths enveloped her.
Desire surged beneath Julian’s raven-black eyes, whirling with an unstoppable force, making it hard for him to let her go, only wanting more. Just then, the sound of an approved key card came at the door, which the two heard.
Jessie was first to react, and she shoved the man away nearly immediately, then wiped her lips frantically as she returned to her normal self in a split second as though the kiss had never happened.
Apart from her slightly throbbing lips, the other thing she could barely conceal was her bright scarlet cheeks. Meanwhile, Bethany came in with Julian’s afternoon tea. However, to her dismay, she received a death stare instead of praise from her boss right as she entered.
“Your afternoon tea, Boss.”
“Did I ask for it?!” Julian growled through gnashed teeth as he glared daggers at Bethany, who, a shrewd assistant, instantly knew she had ruined her boss’ moment when she found Jessie keeping her back faced toward her the whole time. Her head buzzed, and she hurriedly put the tea down. “I, uh, I gotta go. See ya.”
With that, Bethany fled as her life depended on it. However, the wonderful mood had already been cut short. Jessie bit her lip as her face burned ablaze. Her head was still blank, and all she could think of was the kiss.
“I should go back to my room.” Jessie stood up, planning on leaving.
“I thought you wanted to take care of me?” Julian asked somewhat aggrievedly.
“Well, you look fine now,” explained Jessie as she bit her lip. Her eyes sparkled, but she dared not look him in the eye, for she was tingling all over, and she’d die of shyness if she stayed any longer.
“I’m going back to my room.” With that, Jessie grabbed her phone and fled.
Meanwhile, disappointment flashed in Julian’s eyes, but he was more happy than disappointed as he could feel her acceptance. At the very least, she didn’t hate being kissed by him. At that, he picked up his phone and dialed Bethany’s number.
In no time, the poor assistant entered the room gingerly. “Young Master.”
“Send my afternoon tea to Jessie’s room,” Julian ordered.
“Yes, sir.” With that, Bethany took the tea over to Jessie’s.
Lexie had gone out when Jessie returned to her room, and as she sat on the couch, savoring what had happened, her face burned ablaze again, and she thought her heart was going to jump out of her chest.
Oh, my God! That was Julian Gilmore! The man of thousands and millions of girls’ dreams—well, mine too—but he’s someone unattainable when I was still just a stunt double! But h-he kissed me, and… to the point he nearly couldn’t stop!
If Bethany hadn’t appeared and interrupted them in time, Jessie believed the man would really swallow her up, and what was she going to do when the time came?!
Am I supposed to stop him or say yes? Jessie held her head as her face flushed crimson.
She knew full well that she couldn’t say no to him.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and she hurriedly patted her cheeks and then got up to answer the door, where she found Bethany standing behind it with a bag of afternoon tea. “Jessie, Young Master Julian asked me to hand this to you.”
“Thank him for me, please.” Jessie accepted it with a flushed face.
