Chapter 81 Julia Shows Up

He gave a habitual curl of his lips, then smiled as he turned the phone around, screen facing Jem.

“Well: Impressed?”

Jean blinked in surprise. This guy was actually showing off his game stats to her.

People bustled back and forth around them: the place was buzzing with noise and movement. But Easton looked like he existed in a different world–completely unaffected, completely immersed in himself, not giving a damn about anyone else.

“Mr. Easton

Out of nowhere. Olive approached with a bright, eager smile on her face. She looked at Easton with a hopeful expression, her fingers nervously twisting together.

She had come over just to greet Easton. Right behind her. Dustin and Raylan also walked up- each one putting on a humble front as they offered their greetings to Easton.

Jean stared, slack–jawed. These people all looked older than Easton, yet in front of him, they acted like subordinates groveling before a superior.

So this was how it worked: Easton didn’t need to say a word–people just came to him.

That was the law of the jungle in showbiz–those with enough fame always ended up calling the shots.

“What’re you thinking about?”

Easton’s lazy voice drifted into her ears.

Jean snapped out of her thoughts, her gaze landing–somewhat absentmindedly–on his deep–set

eyes.

The guests had finished greeting him and returned to their seats. Easton sat there, eyes lowered. watching her with amused interest

He knew exactly what was going through his sister’s head.

But he still asked—on purpose–just to see how she’d respond.

Jean pressed her lips together and shook her head hard.

“I wasn’t thinking anything-

Easton curled his lips again and gave a soft chuckle.

“Really? You looked a little spaced out just now.”

But Easton reached out and rubbed the top of her head;

“You’re too young to be worrying about stuff that doesn’t matter.”

Finished

Under the light, the man’s good–looking face took on a soft, pearly glow. His lips lifted into a dazzling smile.

“If you’ve got questions, just ask me don’t go overthinking thing

Jean instinctively tried to bat his hand away, her face scrunched up in annoyance

“Hey! I told you to stop messing with my hair…”

She acted like she hated it, but inside, she kept replaying what Easton had just said. What the heck is up with this guy? Suddenly being all nice? Saying stuff like just ask me… Yeah right. I don’t buy it for a second! He’s still a scumbag–probably even worse than before!

Easton let his hand fall away, glancing sideways at his sister, his eyes crinkling with amusement.

This stubborn little thing still clung to the belief that he was out to get her.

He had never actually done anything to hurt her. He just really enjoyed watching her squirm, struggle, freak out–it was entertaining, like a toy that satisfied his urge for chaos.

But then, Easton’s eyes darkened just a little.

Lately… something felt different. He couldn’t put his finger on it. If he had to describe it, maybe…. he liked watching Jean look dazed or happy more than seeing her panic. He liked watching her scarf down food with a satisfied little grin…

Weird. His tastes really were hard to predict.

And honestly, he had no idea when or how it all changed…

Wherever Easton went, he was always the most dazzling person in the room. Even now, sitting in an unremarkable corner where no one dared to approach, he was still the focus.

Plenty of people had their cars tuned in, catching glimpses of Easton’s every move out of the corners of their eyes.

Naturally, everyone saw how Easton interacted with Jean.

They were surprised; they were curious. Who exactly was this little girl next to Easton?

The high–and–mighty Easton had never been the approachable type–always distant and out of reach, like something just beyond arm’s length.

Yet here he was, showing an unexpected side of himself to a young girl.

Strange. Really strange. But then agam, weird stuff happened in showbiz all the time. Even if

Right then, a flurry of light, hurried footsteps sounded at the entrance,

Finished

A girl who looked like a porcelain doll–beautiful and adorable–came in dragging a suitcase, panting slightly from exertion..

“You are?”

A staff member glanced at her in confusion, unable to hold back a question.

“Hello, everyone,” the girl replied politely, giving a formal bow. Her snow–white face was tinged with two faint pink splotches, probably from the sunlight outside, making her look even more adorable.

“My name’s Julia. I’m here for the show.”

“Oh, so you’re Julia.

Taylor, who had been busy, immediately paused and strolled to the entrance for a closer look.

Julia was someone the station head had personally mentioned, but Taylor had never met her. before.

Seeing that the girl was pretty and well–mannered, Taylor felt relieved right away. With a kid this sweet, what could possibly go wrong?
