Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 37

The host looks at Jenny, following the spotlight with a smile on his face.

He feels surprised to see Jenny who looks embarrassed and he looks down subconsciously on the script.

He’s righ. The first one to get onto stage should be Jessica.

With the spotlight on herself, Jenny gets stuck in a dilemma under people’s discussion.

“Shouldn’t it be Jessica?”

“Isn’t that Jenny? What’s going on?”

Under the stage, Shawn casts a glare at the assistant beside her, “What is it? Didn’t you tell him?”

The assistant trembles with fear, “Shawn, I didn’t have the time. It would be Jessica’s turn but he’s been up there all the time. And Jenny suddenly showed up. So I didn’t have the time.”

“Jessica is the plan but Jenny isn’t.”

“There must be an inside story. Jenny has got good exposure lately.”

“She must have support.”

Jenny knits her brows more and more tightly as she listens to the whispers.

At this moment, the host should have told some jokes to ease the awkward atmosphere; but he is a new hand without any experience to tackle the emergency situation, so he just stands there, speechless.

Jenny clenches her fingers, walks to the center on her high heels, and nods to the host.

He passes the microphone to her hesitantly.

“Hello everyone, in case you don’t know me, I’m Jenny. This program features me and Jessica, my senior. She is the mainstay of our company, so she should of course be in the grand finale. I guess the host skipped my name for he mistook me as a staff here, after all I’m not famous.”

The audience burst into laughter.

Jenny wags her tongue and smiles at the host, bowing herself slightly. She eases the embarrassment under people’s kind laugh.

The host felt surprised at her. Her quick reaction ability surpasses that of her age when she eased the embarrassment with her logical joke; what’s more impressive is that she remained calm without appearing unhappy or upset when she was called the wrong name.

He lowers his head to read the script to find out more about Jenny who he knows little about for her name was added last night. He is shocked when he comes across that she was esteemed as Golden Bear movie queen for the movie “I Want to Fly” at the age of 17.

The movie had pretty good word of mouth. It was a long story about the educated youth who went to poor areas to study and stood up to the unfair treatment. The previous one third of it featured Jenny who was picked up by Director Zhang from high school students, and the rest featured older actors.

The movie won the best international movie award, and to people’s surprise, the new actress who acted as the 15-year-old educated youth defeated the old ones and won the Golden Bear movie queen.

Back then, Jenny looked sweet with two dimples on her tender, fat face at the age of 17.

So the host finds it somewhat unbelievable that she turns out to be an elegant lady.

She is no longer a young girl after all, and new actors keep making their debut in the entertainment circle, so most audience members might have already forgotten her splendid achievement. The award doesn’t seem to give her much help in the career.

“Jessica is truly splendid, so are you. You won the Golden Bear at 17. What an achievement for a young girl! You’re being modest.”

The host follows her joke.

She smiles bashfully, and her eyes flash with sadness the moment she lowers her head.
