In front of the Jade Picture Company a grand black minivan parks.
The company owns the whole edifice and has the surrounding area strictly secured to guard fans from gathering around. That makes it possible for stars’ nanny vans to park in front of the gate.
As the car’s door opens, Assistant Yip gets out and puts away the stuff before moving Jessica Vogt out of the car. Yip reminds her in a caring but flattering tone, “Miss Vogt, you’re wearing high heels. Mind your steps.”
Jessica Vogt in an aqua blue dress gets out of the car. Her eyes flash with disgust as she notices the weather-beaten hands of her assistant. Holding her assistant’s wrist, Jessica says in a soft tone, “Thank you.”
Her assistant gets more excited to hear that.
She lives up to the reputation of movie queen, remaining elegant all the time as if she were an angel free from vulgarity!
“Miss Vogt, here’s a massage from York an hour ago, Mr. Wang chose you female lead in his new movie.” says her assistant, “But he wants you in the spot this afternoon.”
“Really?” Jessica asks in surprise, failing to hide her joy.
This time Mr. Wang gravitates to a commercial movie as usual. Besides, another one Spy Game has received much public praise in the market. Leading characters can share much takings even with the cost deducted.
Not a single artist will not get thrilled at such a chance to increase exposure and raise value.
“Really. Miss Vogt, you’re a national heartthrob. Even Mr. Wang would show respect to you!” her assistant keeps flattering Jessica, “He wants you to present just in case artists from other companies would resent that.”
Jessica feels somewhat vain, smiling slightly, “Never mind. I’m available this afternoon.”
How would she spare this chance of leading in a promising movie?
“Wow, fabulous, who owns it?” A guard nearby shouts in a low voice.
Jessica knits her eyebrows and turns around to have a look.
Jessica grits her teeth angrily secretly. Then she puts on a smile instantly and walks to Jenny holding her skirt, “Jenny!”
Jessica calls her name in a gentle tone as before, yet Jenny finds it less joyful but disgusted to hear her own name from Jessica.
“What’s up?” says Jenny in a bland tone after adjusting herself in no time.
“Jenny, are you still mad at me?” Jessica asks softly, pretending to be poor, while she watches over Jenny at the car. Unfortunately, she fails to see the man’s face as he has put on sunglasses.
“Mad?” Jenny puts on a cold smile, “Why would I be mad at such a person like you?”
“That’s so mean!” Jessica’s assistant yells and glares at Jenny, “How dare you talk to Miss Vogt in such a tone? You’re nobody in the movie field.”
