LOGINKieran gave an awkward smile as he blocked the doorway.
"My boss gave strict orders. No one is allowed to see Miss Blackwood without his permission. I'm afraid you'll have to wait."
Jax wanted to argue, but the words died on his tongue.
Before today, their boss had repeatedly warned them not to expose her true identity to outsiders.
Suppressing his frustration, he said coldly, "If Rue wakes up, call the factory immediately. Her family contacted us today looking for
Unexpectedly, Jace didn’t even spare Natasha a glance.“Get lost.”A simple two-word sentence.Yet it felt like a sharp blade stabbing directly into Natasha’s heart.To her, she was now one of the hottest rising female stars in the entertainment industry.Although her status was still below Jace’s, she had no shortage of major projects in hand.Countless male celebrities wanted opportunities to get close to her.Yet Jace was the only exception.Every time he saw her, he always treated her with the same cold and indifferent attitude.And this time...They were at a filming location with so many people present.Jace didn’t show her even the slightest bit of courtesy. He didn’t care at all whether she would be embarrassed in front of everyone.Her manager couldn’t stand watching anymore and stepped forward to speak up for her.“Jace, how can y
A look of surprise flashed across Jace Langford's face. He clearly hadn't expected her attitude to change so quickly."You're serious?""Of course." Rue answered without hesitation.Just then, her phone chimed.It was a message from Kieran Vaughn.[Miss Rue, my boss's running a slight fever this morning. His temperature's been fluctuating. Can I give him some fever medicine?]Rue frowned thoughtfully before typing her reply.[If it's below 38°C (100.4°F), don't give him anything. If it reaches 38°C, then you can give him the fever reducer.][Understood.]Kieran replied immediately.Back at the villa, Julian no longer looked as weak as he had in front of Rue.
Rue couldn’t help but furrow her brows and mutter under her breath.“He’s already an adult, yet he’s still going on strike. He really has no sense of professionalism.”She entered the inner area of the filming site.From a distance, she spotted Jace Langford surrounded by people.He was sitting with one leg crossed over the other, lazily leaning back in his chair. Wearing an exaggerated pair of cool black sunglasses, he looked completely carefree as he joked around with the people beside him.The moment he saw Rue approaching, he immediately stood up.“Rue, you’re finally here! If you hadn’t come any later, I was going to personally go out and find you!”Rue’s expression darkened slightly. She looked at him in confusion.“What does whether I come or not have anything to do with you recording a show?”“I never wanted to come to Lystra to film th
Throughout the entire ordeal, neither Ariana nor Rue had ever mentioned anything about Ariana signing with that company.So how had it somehow become Rue forcing Ariana into it?"You knew perfectly well that Ariana doesn't know the first thing about medicine!" Mrs. Sterling shouted hysterically over the phone. "The only reason she pretended to be a famous doctor's apprentice was to gain followers and make money to help pay off the family's debts. But you just had to expose her! You kept cornering her! You're trying to destroy our entire family!""Ariana slit her wrists this morning! She's still unconscious! If anything happens to her, I'll make you pay!""..."Rue had no interest in listening to another second of Mrs. Sterling's self-righteous complaints.She hung up and immediately blocked the number.The Sterling family's downfall was entirely of their own making.If this had happened years ago, when she was
For a moment, Kieran didn’t know what he should say.After all, those words just now had been taught to him by his own young master.And now...“Forget it. I’d better go take a look. Could it be that I forgot to close his window today?”She muttered to herself as if questioning her own abilities, her mind rapidly searching for where she might have made a mistake.When Rue went upstairs and arrived at Julian’s room, the moment she entered, she saw the man weakly supporting himself with one hand against the bed.His collar was slightly open, his chest rising and falling heavily as he coughed continuously.Excessive blood loss could lead to blood deficiency and weakened circulation of energy throughout the body.Rue quickly walked over.She looked at Julian seriously.“Your wound hasn’t fully recovered yet, so you shouldn’t make any overly strenuous movements. When you get out of bed, you
Apparently, Julian had already noticed the unnatural look on her face.A faint smile curved his lips as he leaned down, slowly closing the distance between them."I have someone I like now," he said casually. "Naturally, I should take responsibility for my feelings. Keeping a proper distance from other women is simply my way of respecting her.""Yeah... I think that's a good thing." Rue deliberately avoided his gaze and looked elsewhere.Just as Julian was puzzled by her sudden change in attitude, she spoke again."If there's nothing else, I'll head back and get some rest. As long as your wound doesn't get wet for the next three days, it should heal pretty quickly."With that, she turned and walked toward the bedroom door.She paused for a brief moment.Then, without looking back, she pushed the door open and left.That entire night, she curled up in bed with her knees drawn to her chest, tossing and turning, unable to f
