Chapter 1491 Taco, Mac and Cheese, Elotes, and Grilled Skewers


    She was so used to Julian’s gentleness that his sternness made her feel inexplicably aggrieved all of a sudden. In fact, her eyes


    began to turn misty. However, she obstinately pursed her lips tight and forced her tears back.


    At that, she nodded. “I want to act. I’ll definitely get it right.”


    “You feel stressed when you act alongside me. Go and do it with your assistant instead,” urged Julian, asking her to leave.


    Jessie left right away, as she would really cry out of grievance if she stayed a second longer. It was honestly absolutely grieving


    to be told off suddenly when she had been enjoying his gentleness for quite some time.


    Lexie happened to be out when she returned to her room, so she headed to the balcony for some fresh air. After taking a few


    deep breaths and wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes away, she gave herself a pep talk. You''re going to act, Jessie


    Silverstein, and you''re going to do it right. Do not disappoint him.


    It was as though disappointing him was a sin.


    Meanwhile, in a different hotel room, Lisa was watching the clock run on the couch while musing, Surely, Julian would have seen


    my earring by now. When is he going to call and have me go and get it? Right, I’m going to give him another ten minutes. If he


    still doesn’t call, I''ll go get it myself. I''ll tell him it’s an expensive piece, and he can’t lose it.


    While she pondered, she had her makeup artist touch up her makeup.


    Just then, a knock came at the door. Her assistant answered it only to find it was a middle-aged woman. “This is the earring Miss


    Powers dropped in Young Master Julian’s room. I’m here to return it,” thetter said to the assistant, who took it with bafflement.


    Lisa heard the middle-aged woman too, and her expression immediately turned ugly. Seeing so, her assistant returned the


    earring to her gingerly. “Miss Lisa, Young Master Julian had someone return it.”


    “| know! Urgh! As if | needed her to return it! | should''ve been the one going to him, me!” Lisa fumed before slumping onto the


    couch, spent.


    Wait, wasn’t Silverstein at the door when | left? That b*tch must be in Julian’s room right now, isn’t she?!N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Jessie had already gotten social media raving about her when she got cast as a stunt double and stole her role. Not only that,


    the Inte was filled withments about how an A-lister like Lisa was defeated by a mere stunt double, making her fans


    disappointed in her.


    The publicity Jessie had garneredtely had already made Lisa hate her, and now that she saw Jessie flirting with Julian with her


    own eyes, the aversion deepened.


    “You think a nobody with no background like you can fight me?! Hmph, you’re as good as dead meat!” Lisa snorted disdainfully


    as animosity shed across her eyes.


    idents that ruin an actor’s career would inevitably happen in a crew every now and then...


    As expected, back in Jessie’s room, Jessie didn’t feel stressed at all when she acted in front of Lexie. What was more, her ability


    to memorize a script increased significantly, and the way she read through the script was superid back and natural. Even Lexie


    gushed about her talent for acting, and it brought some confidence back to Jessie.


    Jessie didn’t go down for dinner that night but had Lexie get some of her favorite takeaways. Of course, these delectable couldn''t


    be found in a hotel but on the streets.


    Tacos, mac and cheese, elotes, and grilled skewers were Jessie and Lexie’s scrumptious dinner for the night. But lo and behold,


    the doorbell rang mid-eating.


    At that, Lexie checked the peephole while munching on a grilledmb skewer only to cry out in panic, “Jessie, Jessie, quick, tidy


    up. It’s Young Master Julian.”


    Jessie, too, panicked. Ah, he can’t see me eating these things! With that, she hurriedly packed the food and hid everything in the


    cab under the television before wiping the table clean. Meanwhile, Lexie gobbled down the skewers, chucked the stick into


    the trash can aside, and wiped her lips clean before answering the door.


    Outside, Julian waited for some time before someone finally opened the door. However, a whiff of grilled skewers traveled from


    Lexie when she answered the door, and it made him scrunch his nose reflexively and nce at her.
