"Delete those photos right now!" Mandy angrily urged Jean while pointing at the camera that Jean held.
Jean tilted her head, looked at Mandy, and replied, "I didn't intend to take a photo of you. It was just a coincidence. I am a photographer, and I was just doing my job. I didn't expect you to appear in my view. It was even you who blocked the view of the scene I was about to shoot at. I should be the one blaming you in the first place."
Jean despised Mandy's behavior. Mandy believed that Ethan lost his desire for her because of Jean. Mandy even said that Jean was a disruptor of couple's marriage. Yet, Jean did nothing to Mandy and Ethan's relationship.
"You!" Mandy furiously gnashed. She was so pissed. She underestimated Jean who seemed to be feeble and meek. She couldn't believe that Jean was capable of countering her. Mandy fastened her eyes on Jean and said, "I appeared in the photos of your camera. They were taken without my permission. I have the right to urge you to delete them now. If you won't delete those photos, I will sue you for violating my portrait rights."
"First, I was just taking photos to do my job, then you suddenly appeared in the scene. Second, you didn't clearly say earlier that you don't allow other people to take a photo of you. You are a public figure. Well, if there is no private or malicious information involved in the photos, I believe it is not right to accuse me of an infringement. Moreover, I haven't uploaded and showed those photos to anyone.
Jean softly smirked. Then she added, "Even if I did it, I don't think it was unlawful. Mandy, you knew well that you are a public figure. Popularity comes with troubles and controversies. Your career is highly rising, and you're gonna be a star soon. There must be many paparazzi paying close attention at you. They are much more professional in taking photos of your private moments than me. You can be easily found and shot by them whenever and wherever you are. So your accusation of my infringement doesn't make sense at all. You accused the wrong person."
Jean justifiably explained. Mandy found no way to back up her claims.
"Jean, if you think you can do whatever you want because of your rich husband, you are wrong! Listen to me. Ethan will never like a consequent, second-rate woman like you. Moreover, you are still Zed's wife!" Mandy figured out a good reply to Jean. Mandy sighed confidently as she felt slightly balanced. As she got ready to leave and turned around, she suddenly saw Ethan, who was heading towards her, from a distance.
After she saw him, Mandy paused for a moment. He took out a foundation from her handbag and fixed her make-up.
"Ethan, had you finished your job already?" The enchanting and lovely smile appeared on her face again. Her smile suddenly replaced the anger and malevolence that was showed in her face before.
Jean scratched her head. Seeing Mandy instantly change her expressions did not just made her surprised, but also embarrassed her.
However, Ethan did not focus on Mandy. He just replied a polite smile at her. Then he immediately looked at Jean and exclaimed, "Jean!
"I'm going to work." Without giving Ethan a time to say another word, Jean instantly took her camera and passed between Ethan and Mandy quickly.
But Ethan followed Jean.
"Jean, you misunderstood me. There is nothing special between Mandy and I. We are just…"
"No, you were the one who misunderstood me. I actually don't care about what's going on between the two of you." Jean impatiently replied to Ethan. After a while, Jean wandered and glanced at the things that were displayed on the exhibition. She frequently adjusted the color settings of her camera.
"Jean!" Ethan's apparent gentle face turned calm that time.
He put himself in front of Jean to block her way. His calm face eventually turned dark, "Jean, you have just misinterpreted me before. This could be my second time, why not give me another chance? Why won't we try and start again?"
"Ethan, we are in a public place." Jean stepped backward and added grimly, "We better keep a proper distance from each other to avoid possible controversies from people.
"When will you divorce Zed?" Ethan didn't care what Jean said to him. He kept on his way and continued to ask Jean.
Jean was surprised by Ethan's question. Jean raised her head as she tried to reply something to him. However, after Ethan mentioned Zed, the memories she had with Zed flashed back to her mind. She was lost in the thought of Zed that caused her to be speechless and empty-headed. A blank and dim-witted expression froze on her face.
Ethan didn't wait Jean to give her reaction, he put his hands on Jean's shoulders and said in a gentle and eager tone, "I know that you married Zed because of business purposes only. I also know that he is not treating you right. There is clearly no love between the two of you. But don't worry, Jean. I will be right here waiting for you. I will wait for you until you divorce him."
