Myah looked innocent. “I didn’t intend to answer it. She kept calling. I thought there might be something urgent, so I just wanted to tell her.”
“You…” Ernest was speechless.
“Why are you so nervous? Are the two of you dating?”
Myah looked at Ernest. She could tell the relationship between Ernest and Jessica.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Ernest looked away.
“No?” Myah asked.
“No!” Ernest replied with certainty.
“That’s good then.”
“What’s good about it? It’s getting late. My mom will rush me. I have to go back.” Ernest picked up his clothes and wanted to get dressed.
“How old are you? Why do you always let your mother take care of you? You should let your wife do that.”
Ernest glanced at Myah, snorted softly, took his clothes to the locker room, and came out after changing.
“As I promised, I enjoyed the hot spring and took photos with you. Now we’re square!”
Ernest seemed to be eager to disassociate himself from Myah.
“Are you going to break off our friendship?”
“That’s not what I meant. I’m just telling you that I don’t owe you anything. The thing of the wedding dress is over.”
Ernest was cold.
“Alright, I won’t see you off.”
“Don’t. If the paparazzi take our photos, we will be in the headlines again.” Ernest waved his hand and went out. He sat in the car but did not start the engine immediately. Instead, he picked up his phone, lost in thought.
Why did Jessica call Ernest?
Ernest called Jessica and got through soon.
“Hello, Jessica. Why did you call me just now?”
“Oh, nothing. I just wanted to ask how you were at home.”
“I’m fine.”
“That’s good. I won’t disturb you. I’m going to sleep.”
“Actually…” Ernest wanted to explain the matter between him and Myah. He didn’t know why he was worried that Jessica would misunderstand him.
“Take care of yourself. I’m going to sleep. Good night.” Jessica hung up the phone. She was worried that if she said one more word, she would cry.
Listening to the beeps from the phone, Ernest sighed.
Why did he feel that there was something wrong with Jessica’s tone?
Why didn’t Jessica ask why Myah picked up the phone? Did Myah say something to Jessica?
Ernest couldn’t figure it out after pondering for a long time. He picked up his phone and found that there was a reminder on Weibo. He followed Jessica.
Jessica posted a photo of dishes and her selfie on Weibo.
In the photo, Jessica’s big eyes were charming, and the comments were full of praise that her eyes were beautiful.
But Ernest felt that something was wrong. She made many dishes and called him?
Why did he feel that there was some inevitable connection between this?
He immediately gave a like. “Your cooking skills are getting better and better. Who do you cook for?” He added two smirking faces.
After a while, Jessica replied, “Can’t I cook for myself?” Two winking faces.
Ernest didn’t reply. It seemed that Jessica was in a good mood.
She should be alright.
Things were on the right track, and everything was fine.
Everyone returned to their normal life.
After a month.
Ernest continued filming after resting for some time. He couldn’t rest anymore. The filming of “Breeze and Rain” had been delayed for a month because of him.
As soon as he joined the crew, Ernest wanted to meet Jessica. He knew that Jessica was the female lead.
The two best rooms arranged by the crew must be for the male and female leads, and there were generally no exceptions.
After Ernest checked into the hotel, he knocked on the room next to his. Even if he made a mistake, it didn’t matter. After all, they were all from the same crew. People who were treated the same way as him must be directors and the like.
It was not Jessica who opened the door, but another star, Nona Spears.
Nona was about the same as Jessica. The characters she played in TV series and movies were the same as Jessica’s.
Ernest was surprised to see Nona here, and Nona was also surprised to see Ernest at the door.
“Nice to meet you, Ernest. I am the female lead of this TV series.”
“Nice to meet you too. I just came to say hello.”
“Do you want to come in?”
“No, no. I just came to say hello. I have something else to do. I will come back later.”
Ernest left with an apologetic look on his face and happened to see his agent, Jayson.
“Ernest, what are you doing?” Jayson saw Ernest knock on Nona’s door.
“It was embarrassing! Isn’t Jessica the female lead of this TV series? Why is Nona here?”
“Don’t you know? Jessica has quit. The director wanted to sign her and thought that she was suitable. But I don’t know why Jessica rejected him.”
“Jessica has quit?” Ernest asked in shock. What was Jessica thinking?
Jessica canceled her contract. This TV series could help her repair her image, but she refused!
“Yes, she rejected the director. I heard that she recently acted in a low-cost idol drama. It is a reworking similar to “President Is an Evil”, but the production team is not good.”
“What is she thinking?”
“Maybe she wants to make money. Such an idol drama has a short production cycle. It’s online-only, and it can be finished in two months.”
Ernest frowned. Was Jessica short of money recently?
It should be.
Back in the room, Ernest immediately called Jessica.
He got through, but it was noisy on the other end of the phone.
“Jessica, I joined the crew of “Breeze and Rain”. I thought I would see you, but…”
“Oh, I rejected it,” Jessica said in a soft voice.
“Why? Didn’t you like it a lot? From the director, the script to the team…”
“I just feel it will be tiring. I want to rest for some time.” Jessica interrupted.
“Are… Are you short of money recently? I can give some to you. Don’t act in those dramas that won’t be popular for money. It’s meaningless. It will only ruin your reputation. The last time you canceled the contract for me…”
“I don’t lack money. I just want some rest. I filmed too many scenes, so I have a lot of injuries. I don’t want to act in any dangerous scenes. Don’t worry about me. I am fine. I have to go.”
Jessica hung up the phone.
