7Seeing that Jaden was also one of the judges, I bit my lower lip slightly. There was no change in my expression, but my heart skipped a beat.There were only three judges in total.One was a former colleague who gave me preferential treatment, and the other was a current lover who had slept with me several times.There was only one person left with little power to reject me.It seemed that Roxanne was right. I would succeed in the audition steadily.Damn it! I was being pretentious!After the staff left, there was only the sound of three people breathing in the audition hall.Quade glanced at Jaden and then looked at me with ambiguous eyes as he smiled."Natalie, we were just talking about your past."I frowned and looked at him in surprise. It almost occurred to me that Jaden looked unhappy just now. Was it because of what Quade said?Quade stared at me for a few seconds and suddenly raised his eyebrows."Why are you so nervous? I just talked with Jaden about the interes
8The most troublesome thing about costume drama was makeup. Sometimes it would take a long time just to set the hairstyle alone. However, it was just an audition, so I only changed into a film costume. My makeup was still the light makeup I did before I came, and I just reapplied lipstick.I opened the dressing room door and did not expect Jaden to wait for me at the entrance.He had changed into a dark red robe with black embroidery on his cuffs. His expression was solemn and dignified.At that moment, I thought I had really seen the third prince from the movie "Bewitching Concubine."When Jaden saw me, darkness slowly appeared in his eyes. His Adam's apple seemed to move a little."You look gorgeous."I pursed my lips tightly and said nothing.He stretched out his hand and seemed to want to touch my face. I suddenly backed away, and then under his flabbergasted gaze, I closed the dressing room door. "Bang."As expected, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.Jaden
9Jaden, Quade, and I walked in silence.Quade asked me inadvertently, "Natalie, what were both of you doing in the dressing room?"I lowered my head and answered without hesitation, "We were changing clothes."After saying that, I snapped back to my senses. When I looked up, I caught sight of Quade's darkened expression. I could not explain myself any further.Ever since I found Quade sleeping with another woman five years ago, no matter what I had thought about him in the past, I knew it would be impossible for us to be together.Now, he was only my film director.That was it.Seeing that I did not say anything, Quade looked intently at me.Jaden was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Of course, you change your clothes in the dressing room. Some things can only be done at home."Quade looked even grimmer.Back in the studio, the three of us had different expressions. Only Suzette got excited when she saw me and Jaden all dressed up."You look like the hero and heroine
11After leaving the audition hall, I had the fur coat sent home first, then took a taxi to the street near Splendor Corp. I chose a coffee shop that I usually patronized, ordered an iced black coffee, and sat by the window waiting for someone.When I was in the car, I browsed through Twitter.The person I was waiting for was about ten minutes away. I took out my phone and habitually turned on the top trending topic.The first one that came to my sight was a topic with the hashtag "Yunus. My leg was just broken," and ended with a smile emoji.I frowned and scrolled down further. The second one was with the hashtag "Yael releases a new song," and ended with a surprise emoji.Then, the third one was with the hashtag "Yunus' high amputation," which ended with a candle emoji.My lips twitched, and I immediately figured out my thoughts. It should be that the marketing accounts started to spread rumors to increase popularity when they heard some news, and then Yunus posted a Twitter u
12After talking with Caleb, it was already dark. I took a taxi directly to the hospital where Yunus stayed.I tentatively sent Yunus a WhatsApp message just now: [Is Xiana with you now?]Yunus quickly replied: [Yes. Are you looking for her?]I looked at the line and sneered.Of course, I had something for her.I had never thought about it.The reason why Jaden avoided me that whole year was actually related to Xiana, whom I had never met before and had not been arranged to appear until Chapter 12.I clenched my phone tightly and walked into the hallway of the hospital with extreme anger.The hospital was extremely quiet that day, but when I walked to the corner of the aisle, I bumped into a person carelessly."Watch out!"As my body unexpectedly fell backward, someone held my waist firmly and locked me in his arms. The familiar breath instantly shrouded me.I looked up. It was Jaden.Looking at his cold and handsome face, my anger subsided. I blinked and asked, "The audit
13"Of course... It's a real discussion about the script."When the door was snapped closed, I reached out and put my arms around Jaden's neck, pulling his head down. My eyes were foggy, and my voice was soft.Jaden raised his eyebrows slightly. At that time, a few buttons of his collar were unbuttoned, revealing a large area of his collarbone and chest.My gaze fixated on him, and I could feel my face burning. Even the place that my fingers touched was burning.He chuckled in a low voice. "Okay, let's discuss the script then.""It's not—"As soon as I spoke, Jaden stepped forward, pressed me against the wall, locked my chin abruptly, lowered his head, and started kissing me.My whole body trembled, and I tiptoed to kiss him back.A moment later, his lips pressed against mine while rubbing them softly. His voice was hoarse."Yahir looked at Wenna. She exposes all the scars in front of him, and her watery eyes are covered with a mist of humiliation. His first reaction is not t

He topped the Twitter Trending list, and photos of him flooded the screen on Instagram.Without glancing at the divorce agreement, Zachary rolled up the agreement sheets and gave me a soft knock on the head."Eva Jones, you're really silly."His eyes were slightly bloodshot because of the all-night program recording."What? I'm just afraid that as a married man, your career in showbiz will be affected!" I rubbed my head helplessly."I'm a songwriter, not a prostitute." Zachary threw his coat on the couch and said, "I'm fine with it if you want a divorce. But I'm afraid you'll be in trouble when someone finds it out."Zachary's words reminded me that it was not a good choice to put myself in the eye of the storm by divorcing at this juncture.But it was not appropriate for me to be with Zachary.Zachary's mother had been diagnosed with terminal cancer some ti
3"I know." I took out a set of clean pajamas from the closet and threw them to him. "Put them on quickly. Or you might catch a cold."Zachary slightly raised his eyebrows. "I still need underpants."I almost slipped over when I heard this. I gritted my teeth and returned to the closet to take his underwear."Don't argue with a drunk man. Calm down." I spoke to myself.I reached into the closet and threw a random pair of underpants at his face. He caught it smoothly, but when our eyes met, he collapsed on the bed weakly.Droplets of water slid down from his wet hair and damped his eyes. He looked so innocent with his watery eyes.My mouth twitched with amusement. This man could be a talented actor if he wanted."Tell me when you're done." I looked away helplessly.I waited for Zach to get dressed outside the bathroom, but suddenly, there was a dull thud from inside.I hurriedly pushed the door open and found him sitting half-naked on the floor."Are you all right? I asked wo
