Chapter 108 Last Night He Was So Serious
Zoey handed the script to Jessica and walked into the dressing room. She saw Jessica holding a cellphone uncertainly, not sure what Jessica was looking at, so she approached and asked, "Jessica, what are you looking for?"
Jessica suddenly put down her cellphone. "Nothing."
After some thought, she asked with uncertainty, "Today is just an ordinary day, right?"
Zoey looked puzzled and asked, "What?"
"I mean, there haven't been any media photos of me today, right? Like, me at the entrance of my residential area, or anything like that..." Jessica's words trailed off, ending with just a knowing look.
"No, I just checked several media platforms with your name. Apart from some curious people speculating about your background and making up various magical backgrounds for you, there is nothing new. Not even a spoiler picture," Zoey said.
Zoey then pointed to the cellphone in Jessica's hand, "Even the photos taken a couple of days ago on South Street have disappeared, all clean."
Jessica had indeed noticed this, too, as she had searched for it herself just now.
Suddenly, her expression changed, sitting in front of the makeup mirror letting the makeup artist fix her hair, her fingers tapping randomly on the darkened cellphone screen.
Last night's incident was so sudden, how could she have forgotten about it!
Who was Gabriel?
Even if someone did take a picture of her standing with him last night, who would dare to release it?
let alone Gabriel himself, even the head of the legendary Harriman family, the leader of the five major families, would not permit such a low-class scandal to surface in the media. Any hint of it would be promptly eradicated. Therefore, those photos would not be made public no matter what.
Gabriel understood this better than she did, so why was he so serious about covering for her last night?
However, being able to completely erase all those false and unjust contents from the internet without a trace was truly effective, relieving Jessica of any worries about potential unfair consequences from those scandals in the future.
Just before Jessica was about to start filming, she gratefully posted a Story.
[Clean and clear, feeling refreshed.] with a few emojis.
She also added a picture of the cloudless sky.
After posting, she put down her cellphone, lifted her heavy and long costume skirt, and went out to shoot another scene.
When Gabriel saw Jessica's Story, he had just come out of a special event hosted by a collaborative group.
He hadn't planned to check his cellphone, but suddenly heard several consecutive WhatsApp message alerts, when he clicked on WhatsApp, he saw Jessica's Story posted five minutes ago.
Had she released him from the block list?
He clicked on her profile picture, scrolled down, and indeed, the gray horizontal line was gone.
He once again came across the frantic Stories post she had shared on the day she brought him back over a month ago, now displayed before him once more.
Gabriel chuckled suddenly.
Landon and Wayne both subconsciously glanced back at the sound of his chuckle, exchanged a glance, and remained unusually quiet and reserved, not daring to ask further questions.
Especially after being by Gabriel's side, a boss who was usually cold and reserved, for so long, everyone's conversations inside and outside the company were strictly work-related. The curiosity and desire to explore had faded away in the workplace's grind, each staying in their lane.
It must be admitted that Mr. Harriman rarely glanced at his cellphone unless it was for work-related matters. Occasionally, he would check the news, primarily focusing on the city's development and the stock market indices of partner companies.
It was truly a rare sight to see someone who was always composed, aloof, and never revealed their emotions on their face, looking at their phone and faintly smiling.
Upon Jessica's return from filming, she noticed a few more likes on her Story and several puzzled comments asking if something good had happened.
Suddenly, she noticed that Gabriel had also liked her post.
But he didn't like the one she had just posted, but the one she had posted more than a month ago.
Watching him blatantly like the post about her regretting bringing a person home due to her drinking, Jessica felt a headache.
Gabriel sent a WhatsApp message.
Gabriel: [Unblocking?]
Jessica: [Absolutely not, it was purely a mistake, a slip-up!]
At this time, Gabriel might be busy and didn't reply.
In the evening, after director Joseph successfully completed the last scene of the day, he stood up and clapped his hands to get everyone's attention.
"We've been shooting continuously for over twenty days since the start. Our progress has been excellent, and the investors from Harriman Entertainment have arranged a dinner for us tonight. Quickly freshen up, remove your makeup if needed, change your clothes, and let's go have a good meal together!"
There was an instant cheer on the set. Since Harriman Entertainment, such a big investor, had arranged a dinner, it was definitely for all the staff and cast members. After being so busy on set, suddenly receiving such a grand dinner, how could they not be happy? Even the featured extras who happened to be on set today were lucky enough, as such good fortune was rare.
Recently, Jessica had gone from being unknown to having her acting skills and performance recognized. Combined with her Twitter activities from a while back, although she didn't receive the same treatment as the lead actors, she was no longer easily forgotten in the group. Originally, she wanted to go back early to be with Danielle, but everyone insisted she stay so she couldn't be too antisocial and had to go along with them to the dinner.
The person in charge of Harriman Entertainment was quite considerate, choosing a dining hotel near the city center that everyone would pass by on their way back.
As the car stopped in front of the hotel, Jessica looked up and saw the prestigious five-star hotel, which seemed to be one of Xyleria's oldest hotels. Although it had constructed for some years, it still held a prominent place in Xyleria. The building style was reminiscent of a few years ago, unlike the modern minimalist architecture of recent years. She also noticed the name of the hotel—Harriman Hotel.
Before Gabriel took over the Harriman Group, this hotel was already a prestigious and grand five-star hotel in Xyleria known for its luxurious and dignified architectural style, which reflected the long-standing and stable foundation of the Harriman Group in the business world over the years. Furthermore, as a business titan in the present day, Harriman Group stood impervious to any challenge
