A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Jean was looking at Julia and smiled as she spoke. "I need to apologize to everyone here about my relationship with Terence."

She gave a bow as she continued, "Terence and I are just friends. He helped me choose a birthday gift for Director Guo.

The last thing I wanted was to cause this misunderstanding. So I would like to say that I am genuinely sorry. Please focus on the movie and not my personal life."

But despite her denial, her ambiguous attitude towards the relationship aroused the curiosity of the media more.

Jean was in the hot seat. They bombarded her with questions, but she was ready with her answers. This went on for a while until she was finally able to get rid of them.

The new movie offered a good distraction as they turned their attention toward Director Guo. As Jean stepped off the stage, Julia approached her.

"Jean, what’s going on?" Julia looked angry. "Director Guo said you recommended me to him. What does this mean?"

Jean chuckled. "Director Guo promised that he wouldn't tell you. Alas! He broke his promise."

"Spare me the hypocrisy!" Julia cut her off. "What the hell do you want, Jean?"

Jean smiled. "Yes, it was me. I recommended you to Director Guo. Why? Is something wrong?" she asked Julia.

"Why don’t you just tell me what the hell you want?" Julia didn’t believe that Jean would be kind enough to get her the gig.
