Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 1671

Chapter 1671 She Would Overthink

“How is this trifle?! I’m doing you a favor here!” Lisa deliberately faked an event just so she could stay a little longer in his room.

Meanwhile, Jessie had left her room. Though they had agreed to meet at 2.30PM, she still wanted to show up a little earlier. In her hands were two cups of freshly ground coffee she eagerly wanted to share with him.

Just as Jessie wanted to knock on the door, it opened from inside, startling her. The next second, she found Julian answering the door with another woman.

Being an old trouper, Lisa acted practically seamlessly the second she saw Jessie at the door, pretending to have blacked out as she held her forehead and fell limply into Julian’s arms.

As Julian failed to react in time, Lisa successfully hugged him after turning around.

Jessie, on the other hand, quickly realized she had interrupted them. Awkwardly, she said to Julian, “I-I’ll come back later.”

“Jessie!” Julian called out to the young woman, but she still shrewdly returned to her room while her mind was filled with images of Lisa hugging Julian. Lisa was the female lead in Julian’s last production and also an A-lister. Her looks and performance were considered the best.

Meanwhile, Lexie was sorting Jessie’s clothes out when the latter returned. “Hmm? I thought you left to see Young Master Julian for a read-through. How come you’re back?” she asked with surprise.

“He… He’s in the middle of something else.” Jessie sat somewhat absent-mindedly on the couch. “Lexie, you’re a sucker for celebrity gossip. Do you know of any past dating rumors between Young Master Julian and Lisa Powers?” Jessie asked with curiosity, to which Lexie pondered for a moment before answering. “If my memory didn’t fail me—there was. But it was debunked very quickly.”

“What’s the story?”

“Don’t quote me on this, but Lisa had gone into Young Master Julian’s neighborhood in the middle of the night and only left two hours later.” The next second, Lexie covered her mouth. “No, wait. Hold on. I think I’ve gotten it wrong. That never happened.”

Knowing Lexie like the back of her hand, Jessie remarked, “If it happened, it happened. No need to hide it from me.”

“Okay. There was word about it, but it was deleted pretty quickly; only suckers for gossip like me saw it. Then again, it doesn’t mean anything is going on between Lisa and Young Master Julian, right?”
