Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 A Perfect Match

Jean furrowed her brows. She should’ve expected this man to be more cunning than anyone else. “We can start now, Mr. Royden.” Harley walked up to Edgar and said politely.

“Okay.” Wearing a light smile, Edgar held Jean’s hand and walked to the backyard.

From afar, the photographer was attracted to the harmonious, pleasing scene when he saw Edgar and Jean walking side by side toward him. The inspiration for the design of this series originated from gods from the galaxy.

The publicity director of Perles had been searching for a suitable candidate among models and celebrities from both domestic and international circles, but to no avail. Later, they fortuitously met Edgar during a business meeting. Immediately, they decided that he was the best spokesperson for this jewelry series.

As for Gigi, they had no choice but to take her on board because she was Edgar’s partner. Previously, Gigi had been bragging to everyone how much Edgar doted on her, which caused Perles to assume that Edgar wouldn’t agree to shoot with other women.

Surprisingly, they received a last-minute notice from Edgar, saying there would be a change in the female candidate. At first, both Harley and the publicity director were worried, but they changed their mind after they saw Jean.

An ordinary person without acting experience could be a potential model material too! All the staff thought this beautiful couple was a perfect match. Besides…

Satisfied with the progress of the shoot, Harley sent a message to the public relations department. ‘Get ready with a news draft. Perles is having a mysterious spokesperson for the latest exclusive jewelry series.’

The collaboration between the divorced couple would surely cause a sensation in the city! Harley was confident that Perles’ products would become trending topics once the news was released.

Suddenly, Harley had a bold idea. She walked toward the photographer and murmured to him. The photographer was stunned. “Is that possible?”

“You won’t know unless you try. If we win this bet, our year-end bonus will definitely be doubled!”

The photographer bit the bullet and went forward to talk to Edgar and Jean. “The pose just now was rather stiff. Can both of you act more intimately?”

Intimate?

Jean almost wanted to stomp out instantly. Are you kidding me?! I won’t possibly get intimate with Edgar. Besides, the ad is going to be released all around the country. Even if my face is not captured, I can’t bring myself to do it! “I don’t…”

“What about this?” Edgar reached his hand behind Jean’s back and gently pulled her into his arms. Then, he tightened his hold on Jean’s arm and drew close to her.

“Great. That’s perfect!” The photographer did not expect Edgar to take such initiative. He quickly took the camera and captured more footage of them. However, when he checked the playback, he lifted his head awkwardly and asked, “Miss Eyer, can you wear a more cheerful look?”

Jean looked elegant in the video clips, but she had zero eye contact with Edgar.

Besides, she looked as if she repelled being touched by Edgar.

Her expression was discordant with the desired style of the ad.

Jean wore a sulky look. “Didn’t you say that my face won’t be captured? I don’t have to force a smile if only the body movements are captured, do I?” She retorted nonchalantly, but her intention was obvious.

At once, the atmosphere became tense.

“You’re right. Let’s take five. We’ll prepare the scene for the next shoot.”

The photographer wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. When Harley came to check on the progress, he mumbled, “Mr. Royden’s ex-wife has a sharp tongue…”

Not only did she disregard them, but she also couldn’t care less about Edgar.

I bet many women out there are dying for a chance to meet Edgar. This woman here is totally ungrateful!

Harley shook her head in resignation. “Just mind our own stuff. Don’t try to pry into the wealthy family’s business.”

The photographer thought Harley had a point, so he quickly got down to work.

On the other hand, Edgar took a cup of water and was about to drink it, but someone snatched the cup away from him.

Jean chugged the cup of water and plunked it on top of the table.
