Chapter 158 You Haven't Seen It, Have You?
Jessica was about to lower her head to look at the screen when Mackenzie rushed over and picked up the phone to look.
"Mobile operator?"
"Why does your text message sound the same as WhatsApp?"
Jessica's mouth twitched. "I'm not usually bored enough to study phones. I don't have time to distinguish between text messages and WhatsApp notifications."
Mackenzie was speechless. She directly threw the phone back into Jessica's arms and continued to wait without giving up.
"I don't believe he won't reply! He clearly likes you!"
Jessica remained silent, only scanning her quiet phone with her eyes.
An hour later, still no reply.
Two hours later, no reply.
By evening, as the sun set, Mackenzie, tired of waiting, sat in the studio's office, propping up half of her head with one hand. She looked at Jessica and asked, "Do you think he finds that expression silly, so he can't be bothered to reply?"
Jessica glanced at her, "So you also think it's silly. You're clearly setting me up."
"Why would I set you up? I'm just curious. Gabriel, the rumors outside are all so unkind, right? I saw him at your place; he seemed down-to-earth, at least not the unreal figure portrayed outside," Mackenzie lazily said, "It's getting dark. There has been no reply yet. Forget it. I give up."
Jessica laughed directly at her words. "Ten percent of the revenue. No backing out!"
Mackenzie waved her hand at her. "Hurry up and get back to work. Money is calling for you; don't miss out!"
Jessica picked up her phone, got up with a smile, and walked out, happily putting her phone back in her pocket as she walked.
She never expected to have such a windfall in a few days.
After all, both Mackenzie's artist studio and Jessica's brokerage were under BlueOcean Media. Every income had to be divided with the company before being divided between her and the studio, and this one percent was really not a small amount.
Even if Gabriel thought she was silly, she endured it. When he was at her place before, He had seen her in all her forms, these little things, probably even the main sponsor dad didn't have time to care about.
Walking out of the studio and back to the car, Jessica thought for a moment, then took out her phone and looked at the toothy grin emoji and the chat box that hadn't received a reply for a long time.
She didn't know how long she had been looking until she came to her senses. She quickly put down her phone, started the car, and prepared to return to her address..
Caroline returned from her hometown today, and Jessica told Caroline the address of where she currently lived, asking her to come over first.
Caroline had previously rented a small house in Xyleria, usually going to Jessica's house to take care of Danielle's life. Recently, she took a few months off because of family matters, and after finishing her business at home, she decided to come back.
However, Caroline still planned to live in the small house outside, not wanting to disturb Jessica by living in her house. Unless there was a special situation that required her to stay and accompany Danielle to sleep, she would basically go back to live outside.
Jessica returned home and briefly explained the situation of the current place to Caroline. Because the house was larger and her conditions were better now, she planned to give Caroline a raise.
After discussing business matters, Caroline went to the next bedroom to tell stories to Danielle while Jessica returned to the main bedroom.
Although she intended to lie down and read the script for a while, for some reason, she always wanted to take a look at her phone.
After looking for a while and not knowing what she was looking at, sometimes browsing through her social media, sometimes checking her rarely used alternate account, sometimes looking at the news, and sometimes returning to the WhatsApp page.
Until WhatsApp suddenly rang, she quickly picked up her phone, only to see a message from Mackenzie.
The advertisement campaign that Tilans collaborated with Jessica on will be launched online tomorrow, reminding Jessica to cooperate with the media promotion.
After replying, Jessica exited the page, her gaze pausing for a moment on the name Gabriel below.
Still quiet.
No reply.
As behind-the-scenes footage of Tilans's underwater shoot was released, and it repeatedly stated in various media outlets these days that Jessica was indeed the only spokesperson for the Big H area, Jessica's attention in the entertainment circle had been increasing in just a few days.
This circle was like this. The higher you climbed, the more attention you received, especially for someone like Jessica, who seemed to have a strong background but whose true background had not been thoroughly investigated. Coupled with the endorsement from the Tilans brand, she was getting more and more job offers.
In addition to the scripts that she couldn't finish in the short term, there were also some advertising invitations in other categories that didn't conflict with Tilans. After wrapping up on the Charles II set, the next drama was quickly settled, and the progress of the advertising collaborations was going very smoothly.
Jessica didn't know how she had suddenly squeezed into the ranks of second-tier female artists overnight.
Even on Twitter, media personalities and influencers predicted when she would break into the first tier, how much she would benefit after the broadcast of Charles II, and whether she would become popular or explode in popularity. Discussions about her were increasing.
However, Jessica's Twitter remained as quiet as ever, not saying a word. Apart from the studio's staff going up to promote with the advertisers, Jessica herself rarely logged into her main account to check those private messages.
Although she had some attention, she didn't have any real fans at the moment, as her most anticipated work had not yet aired. So, in the past two days, all she heard were complaints from the studio staff. When she accidentally saw some private messages on her.
Twitter, Trinity's fans were still frequently insulting and cursing Jessica.
Trinity's fans were particularly proud of the movie that made Trinity famous, saying that not only did Trinity conquer fans at home and abroad with that dance, but she was also the youngest domestic actress to win awards.
And Jessica was nothing, unworthy of her position, destined to be bitten back, cursed with a bad face, cursed that none of the dramas she starred in would be successful, cursed that she would never get any good opportunities again.
They would say whatever harsh words they could think of, whatever hurtful things they could come up with.
Coincidentally, when Jessica heard the studio staff complaining about the movie that made Trinity famous, she suddenly asked, "Was that dance really so beautiful?"
A studio member replied sincerely, "Although Trinity is indeed too flashy in the industry, has character issues, and her fans lack manners, her other works in recent years have not been outstanding. But it must be admitted that the dance she performed behind the veil in that movie five years ago was truly beautiful! Even a young girl like me was moved by it at the time! But what's the use of being moved? Her fans are so vicious, I went from being a stranger to her to attacking her!"
Zoey suddenly followed up with a surprised tone, "Jessica, haven't you seen that movie? It was so popular that it won many awards at the time. It's been five years since that movie."
Jessica, without lifting her eyelids, replied casually, "I happened to go abroad five years ago, so I indeed haven't seen it."
