Chapter 28 Banquet Situation (2)
Nobody pleases people with no reason.
Mimi's sudden passion arouses Jenny's subconscious precaution. Jenny recalls and doubts why Mimi recommends her for the audition since they rarely interact with each other. "Mimi, please get to the point."
"Well, we have some sort of connection for you look just like my younger sister."
"Oh, Mimi, I think I look like your sister as well. Why don't you recommend me for the audition?" the star beside her can't help asking directly, "We're just curious. When did you meet Luke?" "Tell us." another star asks, “You never told us before. Were you trying to avoid arousing suspicion on the purchase? You're so low profile."
That's what they come to her for.
Jenny breathes a relief in her heart. Fortune and power indeed endow her with the right to speak. Those ladies used to ignore her but now trouble to care for her thanks to Mr. Lu.
"We're just friends." Jenny slightly lowers her head, unnaturally wiping her hair.
Those are her typical gestures when she tells a lie.
In fact, she's not even a friend of Luke. To be honest, their relation is obscure. Pretending to be a couple at home, what kind of relation is it?
Since she helps Luke amuse his grandma, it won't be too utilitarian for her to use him to get an acting chance.
Jenny comforts herself.
"People like to cheat the media that they are ordinary friend before opening their relation. You are great, Jenny." Mimi blinks her eyes, looking like an evildoer, "Never mind. I'm not taking advantage of you. I jus hope you can say something nice for me to Luke if possible."
Jenny hesitates before asking, confused, "Well, I don't think I can help. After all, Mr. Lu isn't in direct charge of stars from Jade Picture."
Mimi looks helpless. She glances at Jenny's jewelry, "Don't you tell me that you have no idea Mr. Lu is responsible for several big brands' endorsement? Isn't Goddess Venus the key winter collection of Eshmour?"
Yes, she is right.
Jenny remains absent-minded for a while.
Before they set off, Luke told her Eshmour asked him to find a new brand ambassador. Now she is wearing the key collection and no one else is wearing Eshmour's jewelry in this banquet. Isn't it obvious enough?
"Jenny, you are stupid!"
When she remains absent-minded, Mimi's voice wakes her up.
"Jen, I'm not overreaching myself to fight for the endorsement. But people say Mr. Lu is also responsible for Clever Jewelry's endorsement. You can't be the brand ambassador for two companies, right?" Jenny feels a bit chaotic in her mind. The scandals should have passed but how come those stars looked so surprised to see her with Luke at the gate?
Now she understands. They were surprised to see the heavy Goddess Venus on her neck, and were jealous that she might become the brand ambassador of Eshmour.
"It's not up to me, I..." She rambles in her statement.
Eshmour is such a big brand, but she's never been a brand ambassador even for snacks.
"It's just an occasional chance for her to be with Mr. Lu. What's the point in flattering her?" Jessica interrupts in a somewhat tart tone.
She looks like a flower fairy in a long pink chiffon dress with white daisies dotted on it. She was the most stunning one before Jenny presented.
However, Jessica doesn't talk like a fairy.
Rumors are frequent and travel fast in the company. Mimi was told that Jessica stole Jenny's chance and many people know that but not talk about it. One is a famous star awarded Golden Lily while the other one is an infamous star with no background or no promising future. Everyone knows what to talk about and what not to.
Mimi Su is utilitarian but hates those who ruin others' reputation face to face. Every dog has its day, why is Jessica being so vain?
"Jessica, don't be so mean. I'm afraid it'll ruin your image if a reporter hears what you said."
"Even so, you wouldn't have the chance." Jessica is vexed and can't control herself at this moment. Frankie told her before. Mimi is just a toy for Mr. Wang with no background, who would be abandoned. Jessica despises Mimi as if she's dirty.
"What do you mean? Why wouldn't I have the chance?"
"In our circle, some people make use of their images while others, their bodies. Everyone has their position, am I right?" Jessica laughs coldly, glancing at Jenny, "But don't worry, Mimi. At least, you're a gorgeous star, not like some people who seem invisible."
"You..."
Before Mimi objects Jessica, two hands grab her. She turns around and finds two cold eyes.
"Images are defined by the company while characters are by us. You'll get retribution for your mean words." Jenny says word by word in a fierce but low tone.
"Are you defending her?" Jessica's eyes flash with jealousy as she looks at Goddess Venus on Jenny's neck, "Sandy has been the brand ambassador of Eshmour since last year. The contract isn't expired yet. I have no idea how could some people get the endorsement, even putting it on to show off without caring for Sandy's feelings."
"What? Do I have to share the secret with you?" Jenny lifts her eyebrows and says in a low but forceful tone, glancing at Jessica blandly.
"But you did steal my thing. I really wonder how you did it."
The relation between Jessica and Frankie remains secrete but almost all staff know that since they have been close these days. So people know what Jenny means by saying that.
Mimi's girlfriends laugh at Jessica, whispering all the scandals, and the fragmented news travels to curious people.
Jessica gets panic.
