Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

It seemed like Adolf knew Moore really well, all this time.

But, how did he know?

He was Avery's manager.

"We didn't know each other back in Chicago. We only hung out when Moore came to H City for a little while. Now, he is staying at my house as a guest," Zed explained and smiled.

"Then he?" Adolf was surprised when he heard that. "So he didn't come to see Avery on purpose?"

"Of course not!" Jean laughed and continued. "I admire Avery a lot. I'm really happy that she is here to advertise our company's new product. So I asked Moore to come with us to pick Avery up at the airport. Avery had stomachache halfway and so we had to rush her to the hospital.

You see, it is quite difficult for me to move around as I got a foot sprain, and my husband is busy with work. So in order to keep everything in order, I had no choice but to let Moore take care of Avery."

"Oh so that's the case!" Adolf relaxed and looked at Avery unpleasantly. "If I hadn't put a tracker on your phone, I wouldn't have known that you were in the hospital. Were you planning not to tell me?" 'Tracker?'

Jean was surprised as she heard that. She looked at Avery and felt pity for her.

'As an actress and international star, does Avery have no freedom?'

Avery looked at Jean and smiled back bitterly.

"Adolf, don't get this wrong!" Avery quickly looked at Adolf and said pitifully, "Back then I passed out and when I woke up, I found myself at the hospital. I had wanted to call you after I had finished the porridge.

I know you are worried about me. It was selfish of me to not call you earlier. I was careless. I promise I won't do it again. You won't have to worry about me after this."

Avery apologized.

Jean felt sympathetic for Avery.

Adolf was just a manager. Why was he making Avery apologize in such a manner?

"Avery, it was not your fault! Why are you apologizing?" Jean asked. "It's not your fault that you got sick. You passed out and it was not under your control. Why are you still considering what others think when you are the one who's really sick? You are an international star, Vikki. You are adored by millions of fans. You are like a goddess to them. And you should act like one! You don't have to apologize. I don't think you did anything wrong."

As Jean finished speaking, she stared at Adolf angrily.

Adolf looked at Jean coldly.

Jean also fixed her eyes on his and thought to herself in disdain.

'Adolf, just because you are strong, handsome and smart, why do you think you have the power to make Avery apologize?

You are not my manager and you have no control over me so I'm not afraid of you.

Hmm!'

Adolf was surprised by Jean's reaction. He looked away and got lost in his thoughts.

Jean was actually a little scared of Adolf's gaze, and now she finally felt relieved after he turned his eyes away.

The reason why she had stared at Adolf for long was not to lose from him.

Adolf's eyes were enchanting.

If it was not for Avery, she would've lost in the staring contest.

But apparently, she won.

Jean was excited and she blinked at Avery with her naughty eyes.

Avery tried hard to hold back her laughter as she saw Jean.

"Rest tonight! Tomorrow I'll pick you up and we'll go straight to the filming studio. You have a tight schedule when you are in H City. You know that! Everybody in Los Angeles is waiting for you. Everything is ready!" Adolf said coldly as he looked at Avery.

"Yes!" Avery replied submissively and her face turned pale.

Jean got angry when she heard that Adolf was going to pick Avery up tomorrow.

As she was about to say something, Zed tugged her and shook his head.

"Your assistant will soon be here to look after your needs, and I'll arrange the security guards. Have a good night!" As he finished speaking, Adolf looked at Zed and Jean.

"We'll leave soon. If you have other things to attend to, you can leave now," Jean said immediately.

Adolf glanced at Jean deeply. He was still worried about Avery but he had to leave. He glanced at Avery and bid farewell to Zed politely.

Zed walked Adolf to the door and came back.

After Adolf left, everybody was relieved.

"Avery, your manager is so tough! No wonder why you are afraid of him," said Jean as she looked at Avery and sighed.

Avery smiled bitterly and said, "Adolf looks tough, but he does everything for me. If not for him, I wouldn't have achieved what I have."

Jean didn't care as to what Adolf had done and sacrificed for Avery.

Her biggest concern right now was Avery's health.

"Are you really going to get discharged tomorrow? Is your body ready for that?"

Jean stopped suddenly and got lost in her thoughts. 'Will you leave after you finish the shoot for the ad?'

Then everything she did before this was a waste?

Avery was touched and she looked at Jean. "I'm okay! I had porridge just now, and I feel much better already!"

Then, she looked at Moore gratefully, who was silent all this time.

Jean looked at Moore too. He didn't speak a word after Adolf appeared.

'Was he scared by Adolf?

Did he feel threatened?

Maybe, Moore has feelings for Avery too?'

thought Jean as her eyes glittered with happiness.

"Avery, it was not easy for you to come to our country. If you leave so soon, I'll miss you!" said Jean as she looked at Avery.

"I'll miss you too! But my schedule in Los Angeles was decided three months ago. They have been preparing the set for three months. I can't leave all those people waiting. It would be irresponsible of me to just think about myself," Avery said.

"You work so hard and I'm afraid that you'll get sick. If you only work, then what's the point of living? You don't even get time to enjoy. Avery, tell me honestly! Are you happy? Do you feel happy? Do you smile genuinely? From your heart?" Jean looked at Avery and bombarded her with a series of questions.
