Chapter 102 Jackson Was Just a Jealous Man
The waiter served the steak at this moment, Shirley didn't want Lillian to feel uncomfortable, so she changed the topic.
Just as the steak was brought out, Barry's phone rang. He answered and listened for a few moments, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"What's wrong, Barry?" Lilian asked.
"It's an emergency. I have to go back to perform a surgery. I'm sorry. I can't give you a ride back later," Barry said regretfully.
He stood up, and Lillian hurriedly waved at him. "You should go quickly."
Barry smiled apologetically and left quickly.
"Being a doctor is not easy. He didn't even get to enjoy his meal," Shirley said.
Barry turned to walk out of the restaurant, suddenly stopping in his tracks and looking up at the second floor.
The ginkgo trees had turned autumnal, and with the eastern windows open, Jackson stood in a black suit at the window.
The midday sun danced on his handsome brow through the gaps in the leaves, but it didn't diminish his sense of loneliness and coldness.
It was Jackson, a jealous man.
When Barry received the call from the hospital, he knew it wasn't just a coincidence; this matter was probably related to Jackson.
Their eyes met, and Barry remained composed, nodding gently with a smile before turning around and leaving quickly.
He was a doctor, and regardless of whether the surgery patient was real or fake, he couldn't delay.
Lillian had a small appetite, even though she was deliberately eating more due to her pregnancy.
While she was finishing her meal, Shirley hadn't even finished hers.
She had a huge appetite, but luckily she exercised a lot every day.
Lillian told her to eat slowly and got up to go to the restroom.
As she washed her hands, she could hear voices outside.
"Wendy, I envy you so much. Jackson loves you so much and considers everything for you. With Jackson's help, you will become a top star by this time next year!"
"You too, let's work hard together."
Jenny and Wendy came in affectionately, but Lillian showed no surprise on her face.
Jenny wanted to see Lillian's jealous expression, but Lillian showed no extra emotions. She barely glanced at the two before preparing to leave.
Wendy stepped forward, causing Lillian to quickly step back, which startled Wendy.
"What are you doing?" Jenny scolded.
Lillian smirked. "I'm just protecting myself from being framed. If she suddenly falls to the ground, she might blame me for harming the fetus in her belly. Who would I reason with then?"
Lillian picked up her phone, opened the video recorder, aimed it at Jenny and Wendy, and took another step.
Wendy remained silent.
Jenny grabbed Lillian with a sullen expression, considering the video recording, and changed her address.
"Sorry, Ms. Lillian, we didn't know you were here. Jackson is planning to open an entertainment company for Wendy and promote her as a top star. Did you hear about it? The director and producer dining with us today are big names. You don't mind, do you? By the way, Jackson spent about thirty dollars just to let Wendy play an idol song once. You probably didn't expect Jackson to have such a romantic side, right?"
Lillian raised an eyebrow, thinking that Jackson wasn't being romantic but rather a fool.
Wendy Sivan smiled brightly. "Lillian, you are so beautiful. Why don't you join the entertainment industry as well? Don't worry, I'll talk to Jackson about it."
Jenny immediately added, "Wendy, you are too kind. In the entertainment industry, being likable is crucial for success. Lillian is not suitable."
She implied that Lillian was disliked by everyone.
Lillian was impatient with their bragging and boasting. She nodded, her gaze falling on Wendy's belly.
"Forgive me for being blunt, but I've never seen a pregnant woman debut. However, you are unique. Maybe you can make a debut with your pregnancy. Good luck."
She shook off Jenny's hand, left, and heard Jenny cursing angrily behind her.
Lillian walked toward the lobby, but as soon as she turned the corner of the corridor, she felt a strong force wrapping around her waist, pressing her against the wall.
