Annoyance flashed across Eva’s eyes when she heard that. So, this man deliberately asked me for afternoon tea to publicize our relationship. I underestimated him! Looks like it’s no surprise that his public relations department is not doing anything to my rumor. He is most likely the one who instructed them not to!
With this in mind, Eva hung up the call with Adele and walked over to the table where the man was sitting. Then, with her gaze fixed on him, she asked, “Did you declare our relationship on the Internet?”
“I have to let your supporters know the man last night was me, so they don’t have to waste their time guessing who that man was,” Louie replied as if he was truly concerned for Eva’s supporters.
“You… You did it on purpose!” Eva scolded him gently. “I will do anything for you,” Louie responded in a serious tone. That made Eva’s heart skips a beat as she began to wonder whether she was worthy of his love.
Later in the afternoon, Jessie finally went to the same set as Julian. After applying her makeup, she sat by the corner and watched Julian’s outstanding performance. His fighting moves were all clean and tidy, and the director approved them all on the first take.
Admiration filled her eyes as she watched Julian. Her feelings for him seemed to develop so naturally.
When Julian finished his scene and was about to rest, he took a glass of water and walked over to Jessie. After he took his sip, Jessie extended her hand to him. “I’d like to drink as well.”
Julian naturally handed her the glass, and she, too, drank it in front of everyone. They then walked over to the chairs nearby to rest while the crew prepared the props.
At this moment, Jessie couldn’t help but curiously inquire, “Have you read about Eva’s news?”
“What news?” Julian narrowed his eyes and asked.
Jessie, however, was a little embarrassed to say it. Hence, she scrolled through her phone to look for Eva’s news before handing her phone to Julian. “This.”
Julian took her phone and read the news, a smile spreading across his face. “My brother appears to have found me a sister-in-law.”
Jessie was surprised to hear that. “How did you know the man is your brother? I haven’t shown you your brother’s news yet!”
“Isn’t that obvious enough?” Julian was aware of what was going on. Louie had been eyeing Eva for a long time, and Eva had no other friends of the opposite gender around her as well.
Furthermore, Louie came to get her last night.
Jessie then quickly showed Julian another piece of information. “Louie posted this photo of Eva having afternoon tea. That clearly shows that the man with Eva was him.”
As Julian read the news, he found Louie hilarious. No matter how mature Louie normally was, he was still a childish guy when it came to courting a woman. To Julian, Louie did make a clever move by publicly declaring his relationship with Eva on the Internet, so that everyone was aware of it.
But it remained unknown as to whether Eva would approve of him doing so.
“Shall we treat them to dinner tonight?” Julian asked Jessie.
The dinner didn’t matter to her; all she heard and remembered was Julian using the word ‘we’.
Is that to say we’re a couple as well? Jessie couldn’t help but feel joyous deep down.
At this point, one of the crew members called out, “Jessie, it’s your turn.” Jessie quickly stood up and went to film her scene. Julian, too, stood up with her. Though he did not have any scenes with her yet, he wanted to watch all of her scenes.
The current scene Jessie was filming was with Fabian. Furthermore, it was a scene in which Jessie had to hug Fabian from behind and confess her love to him.
Fabian had previously conversed and joked with Jessie, but he did not dare to do so now. However, the current scene was not something they could avoid.
Following the director, Vincent’s, instruction, Jessie dashed to Fabian and hugged his waist as she spoke her lines. “Don’t leave me. I’ve loved you since the first time I met you. I want to be by your side forever, even if only as a servant to you.”
“Cut!” Vincent stopped her at this moment. “Jessie, you need to be more emotional. Your acting is lacking something.”
Jessie breathed deeply and took a few steps backward to where she had been standing earlier. One of the crew members beside her began explaining the story to her while she tried hard to prepare the necessary emotion.
“If you can’t cry, think of something that makes you sad, Jessie.”
She blinked her eyes in response. There hasn’t been anything that has made me sad recently!
As a result, she failed her next attempt again. The man standing by the side pursed his lips as he watched her hugging Fabian repeatedly.
He then walked to Vincent. Just as Vincent was about to instruct Jessie to try a few more times, he saw the man standing next to him and almost jumped in shock.
“Why can’t all of the previous attempts be used?” Julian inquired with his arms crossed as if interrogating Vincent.
Meanwhile, Vincent was immediately under pressure. Who allowed this guy to watch our filming?
As such, he quickly waved his hand and said, “We probably only need one more try.”
Jessie, too, saw what Julian did and sighed. She wished she could do the scene in one take as well, but she couldn’t get the right emotion out of herself. Her confession, in particular, was unnatural.
She tried once again, but she still couldn’t perform up to Vincent’s expectations.
Looking at the man beside him who was becoming increasingly glum, Vincent had a brilliant idea. “Why don’t you try filling in for Fabian, Young Master Julian? Let Jessie hug you and try once more.”
Julian raised his brows in response to such a suggestion. “Let’s do it.”
With that, Fabian immediately removed his coat and handed it to Julian, and the crew then put it on the latter. As the current scene’s focus was solely on Jessie, Julian would not be filmed and could completely play along for the entire scene.
Jessie, on the other hand, was embarrassed by such a change in the cast as she had to hug Julian and confess to him with her eyes filled with admiration.
“Let’s try again, Jessie,” Vincent instructed.
Jessie quickly prepared herself and dashed to hug Julian’s waist. Indeed, the moment she hugged him was when she was overwhelmed with emotion. She was considering the possibility that the man whom she was hugging would fall in love with another woman.
Her eyes welled up with tears as she reflected on this thought. “This is the right feeling, Jessie,” Vincent said as he looked through the camera at her. “Keep it up and start your lines.”
Jessie then recited her lines completely, and she even sobbed at times. This was exactly what Vincent wanted.
“Great. We’re done with this scene now.”
Before Jessie could stop her tears, Julian turned around to look at her. She wiped her tears away in a fluster, embarrassed by her inability to control her emotions.
“What sad thoughts did you have?” Julian went closer to her and inquired.
Jessie, however, was too embarrassed to tell him what she thought. Hence, she replied patronizingly, “It’s just a small unpleasant thing.”
Julian got more curious after hearing her words. “What is the unpleasant thing?”
Seeing that he persisted, she asked solemnly, “Do you really want to know?”
