Chapter 1672 Leave Now If You Don’t Want to Act
Can Julian and Lisa also be in this kind of relationship? That’s why they’d make out as soon as they meet up, which ended up in the earring being dropped on the couch in the process, right?
While Jessie was deep in her thoughts, an alluring male voice traveled to her ears. “Is the coffee for me?”
“Ah, yes. I got it for you,” she answered at once after being pulled back to reality. “Oh, I found this. You should return it to Miss Powers later.” With that, she showed him the earring in her hand. Julian furrowed his brows in response. “Where did you find it?”
“On the couch. It’s Miss Powers’, I assume,” she answered with a smile. “Just throw it into the trash can,” he ordered. Is he not going to return it?!
“It looks pretty expensive. Are you not going to return it to her?” Jessie asked with surprise.
Julian, for one, saw through Lisa’s act right away. So, even if the earring was hers, she had dropped it here on purpose. Obviously, she wanted to use the excuse of finding her earring to get close to him again.
“Leave it on the table then. I’ll have my assistant return it to her.” Returning it to Lisa will save her from having to come up with another excuse to find me again.
“Miss Powers looked a little unwell earlier. Is she alright?” Jessie asked. “She’s alive and kicking,” he answered.
She had run away so quickly that she didn’t see Lisa leaving in discomfiture under his sub-zero gaze. “Let’s get down to the read-through.” At that, he took out two scripts and handed one to her.
Jessie didn’t chit-chat anymore either and started reading the first page, for it was a flashback scene. The lines were of the female lead expressing her love for the male lead as she stood leaning in his arms by the lotus pool.
The male lead’s name was Alioth while the female lead was Estelle.
“Why aren’t you reading?” Julian looked up to find her gawking at the script in her hands.
Jessie wasn’t an actor, so it was only natural for her to be nervous when she was reading her lines in front of Julian for the first time.
