Chapter 131 Will You Come Over for a Free Meal Every Day in the Future
The bedroom was quiet, and the dim yellow light in front of the bed was enough to capture Jessica's expression when she closed her eyes.
Gabriel knew she was awake, and he looked at her with lowered eyes.
Jessica couldn't continue pulling the blanket for a while, so she could only keep her eyes closed, inexplicably wanting to pretend to be asleep.
Gabriel's breath, as he leaned closer, surrounded her with a scent that belonged only to him, filling her nostrils. Jessica's hand subtly struggled, but Gabriel effortlessly held it firmly.
One feigned sleep while the other was aware of the act. The pretense was overly dramatic, yet their coordination was flawless. Should she open her eyes or not?
Gabriel looked at Jessica's face up close, his deep black eyes fixed on her. He made no further movements but didn't step back either. Gabriel just looked at her closely, almost oppressively. As Jessica tried to move her hands away, he suddenly pressed them firmly on either side of her body.
Jessica resisted the urge to open her eyes, just slightly turning her head to avoid Gabriel's breath on her face.
Seeing her tense, even the fine hairs on her face standing under the light.
Gabriel couldn't help but wonder once again if she had any experience in love.
Just as Jessica was weighing the pros and cons of opening her eyes, Gabriel's clear yet slightly husky voice sounded in her ear. "My company is very close. Would you mind if I occasionally came over for a meal after work?"
Jessica tightly closed her eyes, not responding, continuing to pretend to sleep.
Gabriel's voice softly sounded in her ear again. "It seems like you don't mind."
Jessica remained silent.
Gabriel added. "Then I won't be polite."
Jessica was speechless.
The feeling of pressure lifted suddenly as Gabriel stood up, casually tucking the blanket for her, then left.
It wasn't until Gabriel left the bedroom that Jessica abruptly opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the bedroom door.
What does 'not polite' mean?
Could it be that he planned to come over for a free meal every day in the future?
While she pretended to be asleep and couldn't speak, did he make such a decision directly?
Gabriel truly exposed his despicable nature by taking advantage of every opportunity!
No wonder he and Danielle hit it off so quickly. The next day, Jessica got up early. It was Danielle's first day at the new daycare, and Jessica was initially worried about her adjustment and wanted to provide her with some psychological guidance.
When Danielle entered the daycare gate, she greeted the new teachers cheerfully and waved to Jessica, saying, "Bye, Mommy."
The preschool teacher couldn't help but pinch Danielle's cute little face lightly when she saw it, creating a harmonious scene between Danielle and the teacher. The teacher directly held Danielle's hand and led her inside without Jessica needing to worry at all.
Jessica had a full day of filming ahead. Seeing that everything was fine with Danielle, she drove straight to the set.
While parking at the set, she noticed a flashy Ferrari parked nearby. She glanced at it and then headed towards the makeup room.
On the way, she saw Director Joseph talking to Nicholas, handing him cigarettes, fruits, and melon seeds. Many facilities on the set were temporary, and the food and drinks weren't luxurious. Although Nicholas didn't take the cigarette, he did accept a handful of melon seeds and started munching on them with his legs crossed.
Jessica glanced at them and walked past quickly, heading straight into the makeup room.
Inside the makeup room, some of the staff were discussing, "Are you referring to Nicholas, the legendary film investment guru of Harriman Entertainment? He's from one of the top five families, right ?"
"Yes, that's him! Isn't he handsome? And he's so young, too!"
"He is indeed handsome! We haven't seen him around before. Why has he been coming to our crew so often recently? The head of the investment team usually doesn't bother coming directly to the set. Why has Nicholas been visiting us so frequently? Is he inspecting the set? Is he really so hands-on?"
"Who knows, maybe he has something to discuss with Murdock, the producer, or Director Joseph?"
"I don't think so. Director Joseph is usually quite aloof with us, but he's been following Nicholas around, almost wanting to serve him coffeeand water personally. But it seems like Nicholas hasn't paid much attention to him either."
"Could it be that he has his eye on one of the actresses in our group?"
"It's possible."
Jessica didn't participate in this gossip. She sat in front of the makeup mirror, thinking about the time she accidentally stepped on Nicholas's shoe and then about the casual glance he gave her as she passed by earlier, munching on melon seeds.
Had he set his sights on an actress?
He seemed more like he was seeking revenge. A person of his status hanging around the set for no apparent reason, wandering from one place to another, must make many actors nervous.
But there was a silver lining. With all the actors from top to bottom on their toes, their acting skills improved, and there were fewer mistakes during scenes with partners, saving a lot of filming time.
Jessica was getting her makeup done when Deborah's assistant came in again to bring coffee for everyone.
She also mentioned treating everyone to pizza at lunchtime. The mood of the staff present was good, especially after hearing that Deborah had just landed a deal with the KC for endorsement. They all rushed to praise how effective KC's facial masks and creams were, trying to please her.
Soon, Deborah came in to change her makeup.
Getting an endorsement wasn't unusual for a popular star, but Deborah's endorsement with KC made her particularly proud in front of Jessica.
Deborah came over to greet Jessica and directly asked her in front of all the makeup room staff, "Jessica, have you made up your mind about what I mentioned last time? Do you want me to help you get the star endorser for KC's anti-wrinkle cream?"
Anti-wrinkle cream?
A few staff members standing nearby and clearly listening couldn't help but suppress a smile, looking at Jessica with a hint of pity.
Just a few days ago, they heard that Jessica was supposed to endorse KC's facial masks, but now it seemed to have fallen into Deborah's hands. Deborah's mocking tone had taken a unique turn.
At the same time, someone in the makeup room exclaimed in surprise. "Check Twitter!"
Everyone hurried to look, and they saw that a few minutes ago, exactly at 10 a.m., a term that could shake the entertainment and business resources industry had landed at the top of the trending list.
