Chapter 125 Fake Sisterhood
Elizabeth's words shock everyone in the gym.
Even Cecelia, who is drinking water, gets choked and coughs nonstop.
Everyone in Jade Pictures knows that Elizabeth's script has been cut off because Jenny offended Michael. Elizabeth's slap was so loud it still echoes within the company walls.
"Michael's assistant came to me, saying that he has a bad feeling about me because he heard some rumors, that is why he does not want to partner with me. I blamed for nothing"
"What?"
Jenny's eyes widens as she cannot believe what she is hearing.
Shawn also looks astonished, and he hesitates to ask, "You are saying Michael's assistant came to apologize to you, so everything is back to normal?"
"Yeah." Elizabeth nods innocently. "So I come to apologize to Jenny. What happened last time was my mistake. I would accept any punishment."
Shawn seem lost, still speechless.
Jenny looks at Elizabeth's sincere look from behind Shawn's back, embarrassed enough not to show herself completely. She cracks a smile, even worse than a cry, and waves her hand, "Forget it, it is what it is. Elizabeth, please next time make sure of the facts before going around slapping people."
Jenny still feels pain thinking of that slap.
"I know... I have been too impulsive, forgive me Jenny, if you ever need any help in the future, I will definitely be there for you..."
Such an apology doesn't sound very sincere, but it pierces right through the heart.
Jenny feels awkward not knowing what to say, but Shawn, after a while, suddenly acts, frowning and asking, "Elizabeth, why are you really here?"
According to what she knows about Elizabeth, if this thing is really that simple and Michael's has given the role back to her, she would never apologize to Jenny. The competitive relationship between the company's female artists is a real struggle, even if they have the same manager. Sometimes if they can stand each other presence is a real achievement.
If a misunderstanding is cleared properly, there is no need for apologies.
So Elizabeth's appearance is really suspicious and her face shows that Shawn is right.
Elizabeth stands by the door and twists her tongue several times before letting it all put with a stiff face, "Nothing can be hidden to you eh Shawn? Michael said that I had to apology and invited you for dinner on his behalf, will you be able to attend?"
"Dinner with him?" Shouted Shawn, "Who the hell he thinks he is? No way."
Jenny trembles all over, and is scared by Shawn's grumpy appearance.
What kind of hatred does he have with Michael? Why did he have such a big reaction for just a supper?
Elizabeth obviously did not expect Shawn to react so much. She hesitates for a long time, "Shawn, it's just a dinner..."
Shawn frowns and takes a deep breath, then walks toward Elizabeth, "Elizabeth, listen to me, this movie belongs to Michael and choosing the actors is his job, I will be fine with you or any other actress. Do not get me involved, okay?"
"But Shawn... this is my first leading part in five years... I beg you..."
Elizabeth obviously does not intend to give up this opportunity easily.
Shawn muses for a long time, and finally agrees to think about it and persuades Elizabeth to leave.
Working hours are way paste so the gym is almost empty. Shawn sits on one of the benches with a thoughtful look and sips water.
Cecelia elbows Jenny and whispers, "Hey, what is going on with Shawn today?"
"Haven't you heard? Elizabeth just invited Shawn for a dinner with Michael."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"You really know nothing of Michael?" Jenny gives Cecelia a blank look. "Nothing good come out from that man, he is crazy and violent. If Shawn gets trapped he will be ruined for good." "Frightening! Why doesn't he go with bodyguards, we have them here in the company."
Jenny glances at Cecelia again, slurps twice, and cackles at Cecelia for being so naive. "Shawn is a Taekwondo black belt 9th Dan. No one in the security department can protect him, they probably would be in the way, if that is the case."
"Then what are you worried about?" Cecelia is puzzled.
"I'm worried," Jenny thinks for a while, "I'm worried that he kills Michael Song..."
While talking, Shawn suddenly bounces from bench, as if he made his mind up, cracks his fingers, takes his backpack and strides towards the door, saying to Jenny, "Jenny, you go home. Remember to eat little for dinner. Cecelia, you come with me."
"Hey... Shawn, where are you taking me?"
Cecelia cries while she is dragged away.
Jenny stares at the door with her arms folded for a long time, thinking about the aggressive look on Shawn's face just now when he left. She hopes blood won't be served for dinner tonight.
Thinking it might actually happen, she suddenly smiles, feeling a little weird.
Wouldn't Michael fall in love with Shawn?
On the way home in the evening, Jenny meets Jessica Vogt. Jessica's belly was already showing signs of growth, and to make sure everyone understands she walks with her hands wrapped around it to show a maternal instinct. Seeing Jenny walking by, Jessica deliberately says the word "Frankie" extremely loudly and lovely.
As usual, a group of reporters gather around the door, flashing continuously their cameras.
Anyway, they have announced their marriage, and in order to protect Jessica's reputation, they said that they were actually engaged a year ago, so even if Jessica is pregnant now, the medias can only give her blessings.
Jenny originally wanted to avoid reporters, but she just got off work and is very tired. She could not escape from them. They hunt her like birds of prey and force her to answer their questions. She also gives her blessings to the so-called best friend Jessica.
When the reporter asked if she would like to do a duo with Jessica on the show, she could only be polite and say that she would heed to the management words and the program group.
Jessica loves to show how friendly she is and love to be called friend by the VIPs. Jenny, contrary to her, cannot really stand those things.
The day after the reporter's interview, Jenny is awakened by Shawn's phone call.
There is another ongoing war on the social platforms. The reason this time is that Jenny rolled her eyes towards the camera during the interview, and it has been interpreted as a fake sisterhood with Jessica, and slander rages on.
Although this is true, Jenny feels betrayed. She was not rolling her eyes, she was just looking at the clock on the wall above the cameras.
No one will believe that obviously, people on the internet thrive on dramas and Jenny is the perfect victim. On the day the new got viral, she sends out a bald and offensive statement on blog. "Time reveals people for what they really are."
