"Your life? What do I need your life for?" Jarvis looked at Hannah, a hint of anger in his usually indifferent eyes, "Hannah, if you don't even cherish your own life, how can you expect others to?"
Hannah replied, "You misunderstood, I'm not saying I'm giving you my life. I'm saying as long as I'm alive, I have infinite possibilities. I can create wealth for you."
Jarvis helping her came with conditions. Hannah didn't know what she could give him besides money. She knew she was not good at many things, and there wasn't much she could offer. Her only advantage was her decent acting skills. she had audience appeal and she could make some money.
But Jarvis just laughed, "I'm not interested in money."
Hannah was speechless. Those who could say such things were definitely wealthy. They already had enough money, so her little bit of money was not important to them. But for someone from an average family like her, money was very important, so important that she even sold herself for half a million once.
But this half a million might just be a bottle of wine money for people like Steven and Jarvis.
Did she regret it? Hannah had asked herself. The answer was yes, she did. But if given another chance, she might choose the same path again. If she chose another way, she could only watch her father die of illness because he had no money for treatment. In fact, she didn't have any other choice.
"You must have burnt your face, I'll take you to the hospital first." Jarvis turned to look at Hannah, noticing something was off with her, "Why are your eyes so red?"
"Red?" Hannah raised her head, forcing a smile, "Maybe it's too stuffy in here, I feel a bit suffocated."
Jarvis asked, "Do you want to cry?"
Hannah answered, "I don't."
Jarvis said, "If you want to cry, just cry. I'm your boyfriend now, you can lean on me."
Hannah replied, "I don't need to."
Jarvis asked, "Are you sure?"
Hannah said, "I need to go back to the set. There are scenes to shoot tonight."
Jarvis said, "I'll take you to the hospital to check your face first, then drop you back to the set."
Hannah said, "It's just a little burn. The skin hasn't even broken. I'll have my assistant get some medicine."
Jarvis said, "The performers I used to know, both men and women, cared a lot about their faces. But you, a big star, don't care at all."
Hannah said, "Because I'm naturally beautiful, I don't need to make efforts. I'm not bragging. Even in the entertainment industry filled with beautiful women, my beauty still stands out."
It was a bit of an exaggeration, but Jarvis liked her confidence, "Alright, if you won't go to the hospital, I'll take you back to the set."
Hannah said, "My car is still in the underground garage."
Jarvis said, "I'll have my assistant drive it back."
Hannah said, "You always seem cold verbally, but you're actually not. You're more reliable than those men who always talk about love, but are nowhere to be found when you need them."
