Everyone at the press conference were in awe and admiration as they expressed their blessings to Zoe when she said that she did not have any regrets.
She did not say much, and she said it casually, but through her words, everyone could sense the beauty of their relationship.
The key was the happiness in Jay's smile as he sat next to Zoe.
Everyone could tell that he was in a fabulous mood.
And that was despite the fact that Jay was one who never wore his heart on his sleeve.
They must really, really love each other.
The reporters' reactions made Zoe suddenly feel awkward.
She simply followed what Jay had prepared for her to say. Did they need to react so strongly?
She suddenly felt inexplicably shy at that moment.
"Mrs. Parker, why did you decide to make a comeback then? Is it really because of your passion for the industry?" the reporter asked.
"Yes, it is." Zoe nodded. "It's been my dream to be an actor since childhood, and I've sacrificed a lot for this dream of mine. Although I chose to give it up because of many other reasons, I will persist down this road. I hope to have everyone's blessings and support as I continue on this journey," Zoe said courteously.
She really wanted, from the bottom of her heart, to maintain good ties with the reporters and media partners. After all, Jay would only be around for the moment, while her relationship with the news and media outlets were for life. She could not afford to offend them.
"Mrs. Parker, that is very kind of you to say that. In the future, if you have any updates or news, remember to inform us right away and we'll be very grateful for that."
The reporters teased her.
It was not much of an exaggeration, in fact.
Zoe's popularity was rising wildly, and she would be an A-lister in no time.
What was more, now they knew that Zoe and Jay were husband and wife, it would go without saying that she would be an important figure in the industry.
"Director Parker, do you intend to produce a movie or drama series for your wife?" a reporter suddenly asked.
"When I decided to participate in Actors on Set, although I selfishly wanted to accompany Zoe, my true objective was to select suitable actors. I have a movie on hand that I am preparing to film. I won't share its specific genre as it is confidential information that is currently embargoed. As for who the main leads of this movie are, we'll have to see how Zoe performs in the later part of the competition."
"So strict, Director Parker? Aren't you afraid of being made to sleep on the couch when you go back home?" a reporter joked.
