Meeting You Was Fate

"Yes, I was fond of acting ever since I was a child, but now, I'm just tired of it. Simon, didn't you realize that I'm getting lazier,
especially after marrying you? In the past three years, I haven't even done much work. I think I'm getting used to the idea of
being taken care of. Every time I sign up for a movie, I get busy for at least three months and sometimes for an entire year even.
All this is so tiring. Moreover, I just want to stay and spend time with you." Nacy stopped frowning, feeling much better now.
As a celebrity, she was actually under a lot of pressure. The paparazzi were everywhere, and there would always be someone
criticizing her. Some untalented actresses even had to sell their bodies to get a small role in the background. Nacy was lucky that
she was from a powerful family. With her background, she could get any role she desired.
Nacy had made up her mind to quit the industry. She wanted to be an ordinary person and lead a normal life. She didn't want to
be followed by media her entire life. She had been in the showbiz for years and had enough experience. She knew it was a dirty
and dark place. So this time, she wanted to quit and stay clear of the industry.
She envied Mandy and Nathan's peaceful life. Having a baby with Simon became somewhat of a dream for her because of them.
Taking care of a cute baby while running her own business sounded like the best choice.
Not only did Nacy like drawing and fashion designing, but she was also skilled in it. Therefore, she wanted to open her own
boutique and make designer clothes.
"Those are some good plans, Nacy. Whatever you want to do, you will always have my full support. I will be supporting you every
step of the way." Simon pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.
"I still remember a singer once said that he didn't want to be in the entertainment industry because it forced him to become what
he wasn't. I agree with him. After staying in this circle for such a long time, I feel like I have changed too. I couldn't do anything I
wished. Since my life is short, I will enjoy it and live like a free person from now on."
"Then quit the entertainment industry, and you can have a much-desired job: a full-time housewife! After all, my wife doesn't
need to work outside," Simon said while staring deep into Nacy's eyes.
But Nacy shook her head and said, "I don't want to become a housewife. Even though it doesn't mean that I will become a
canary locked inside a cage, I still don't wanna stay sedentary. My brother founded the Mandy Mall and then gave it to Mandy. In
the beginning, she complained that she didn't know anything about business, but gradually, she got the hang of it. After all,
women should have their own careers."

Seeing the determination oozing out of her serious eyes, Simon couldn't help but feel helpless. Ever since they got married, he
only wished that Nacy would stay at home.
Nacy was a workaholic in spirit and body. Sometimes, it would be absolute zero outside, but she would still take part in the
shooting. And at other times, it would be boiling hot outside, but she would still wear winter clothing and complete the shoot for
some magazine. One thing was for sure. She wasn't a canary trapped inside a cage, but she was a robin soaring in the endless
blue sky.
"Then what do you want to do?" Simon raised the corners of his mouth and gave her a sudden smile while emitting tenderness.
Nacy rolled her eyes and stared at Simon. She pretended to be angry and complained, "Humph! You don't even know what I like
to do? How dare you!"
"Haven't you always liked acting? Even after all these years, I still couldn't find anything that you loved more than acting," said
Simon while smiling.
"Well, that's because you don't know me well enough. If you knew everything about me, you would have known that I'm also a
good painter and fashion designer," Nacy said.
Simon looked her up and down with suspicion in his eyes and asked, "Really? Why haven't I seen you paint before?"
Nacy curled her lips. "It's normal that you don't know. I haven't painted for years. Those paintings hanging in our living room are
all my work."
Simon nodded, lost in thought. "I see. No wonder your father treats those paintings as if they are rare treasures. They turned out
to be your paintings!"
"Yes, along with drawing, I also like fashion designing. Over the years, I discovered that fashion trends follow a particular cycle.
This year bend pants and floral skirts are popular," Nacy said with professionalism while squinting her eyes.
Having started her acting career at an early age, Nacy had seen how the stars dressed. Therefore, she was familiar with famous
fashion brands and their products. She had her own unique insight into fashion. Every year, she was named the most
fashionable star in the entertainment industry. Her secret was to strictly adhere to seasons. Unlike other stars, who would wear
anything without keeping the tone of the season in mind, she would only wear clothes that complimented that season's tone.
"I see. All in all, you love looking beautiful."

"Right. Every woman wants to be beautiful. We are born this way. What about you? Don't you like looking handsome? Don't you
dress up in front of the mirror every day?"
Nacy was a good talker. With simple deliberations, Simon couldn't help agreeing with her.
Simon loved this talkative Nacy the most. The Nacy who would share everything with him. In the past, Nacy was always busy
with her work. While at home, she would recite lines and seldom talk with Simon. At times, Simon would try to talk with her, but it
would always end with her gently refusing him.
Simon loved Nacy's idea of leaving the entertainment industry. Finally, he could have some private time with Nacy.
Fiona and Ethon had graduated ahead of time. According to the university's rules, students could graduate ahead of time as long
as they could finish the curriculum with an overall "A" grade.
After they graduated from university, they began working at JS International. Ethon worked in the investment department, and
Fiona was in the marketing department. A few days ago, she was transferred to the Mandy Mall.
In the morning, they were informed that Adrian was sick. So they decided to visit him before going to work.
