Damien raised his head to see an unexpected visitor at the door, and the grin on his attractive face vanished instantly.He spoke in a frigid tone, "What brings you here?"Jane turned her head and saw that it was Seth, she instantly stood up and exclaimed, "Mr. Seth."Seth cleared his throat and covered his mouth with his hand, "I believe I have interrupted you."Jane suddenly remembered the conversation she had with Damien earlier, and her cheeks flushed.Damien's expression remained unchanged, "Since you are aware that you are causing a disturbance, why don't you leave?"Who speaks like that? He didn't even remember who brought him back home yesterday.Jane looked at Damien with a reproachful expression and whispered, "Why are you being like this?"Damien remained silent.Seth looked at Damien's timid expression and wanted to burst out laughing.Damien, who was always bold, also had moments of fear. Was this karma? Jane looked at Seth again and smiled, "Seth, please come in and sit
Once Seth had departed, Damien picked up the document and frowned, "This is too much work."Jane shrugged, "It's normal for an artist."Damien raised an eyebrow, "You don't have to work so hard."Jane replied seriously, "I have to support my family."Damien smirked, "Do you want to raise me?"Jane quickly clarified, "No, I was talking about my younger brother."Damien's expression turned dangerous, "What about me?"Jane whispered, "You don't need to be raised, you have enough money.""But I want to be raised by you," Damien teased.Jane joked back, "Do you want to eat rice pudding every day?"Damien chuckled, "Of course, and I'll leave the rice in it for you to eat."Jane felt a twinge of embarrassment at the thought of being seduced by his handsome looks. She shook off the feeling and reminded herself not to be swayed by his charm.After breakfast, Jane received a call from Anderson inviting her to lunch with Piper. She read the script for a while, changed her clothes, put on light m
Upon leaving the villa, Jane hailed a taxi to Eatery Pavilion, the most renowned restaurant in New York for cuisine, where Anderson was waiting for her in a private room. While en route, Jane checked her mobile phone for the room number. However, she accidentally collided with a man while walking and was scolded by his group for not watching where she was going. The man she bumped into, Sala Baker, appeared familiar to Jane. She apologized, and Sala replied calmly. Jane stepped aside, and the group followed Sala out of the restaurant. Her phone rang, and it was Anderson calling. She quickly found the private room where Anderson and Piper were chatting. Piper complained about hunger, and Anderson asked Jane if she was okay after her fall. Anderson suggested that Jane pursue painting instead of entertainment.Jane's smile faltered for a moment, noticing that sometimes Anderson could be as stubborn as Jonathan. Whenever this topic came up, the atmosphere turned sour. Piper quickly interv
Upon seeing the caller ID, Jane unconsciously glanced at Anderson and Piper who were sitting across from her.Both of them stared back at her, curious. "Why are you looking at us like that? Who's calling?" they inquired."Just a friend. I'll take the call outside," Jane replied with a nod, before stepping out with her phone."Jane, answer the call here," Piper urged with a serious expression. "You know how much trouble you're in now. You should be careful."Jane understood what she meant. With Ciara's brainless fans lurking around, it was not impossible for them to do something drastic if they spotted her. After all, she had received countless death threats online."Okay," Jane agreed, taking a seat and answering the phone."Hey.""Are you free now?" The voice on the other end was cold."I just got here. What do you feel like eating? I can order for you," Jane offered."I'm not hungry. I'll call you later," the voice replied."Sure thing.""What are you having for lunch?" he asked.Ja
Minutes later, Jane was pleased to find that all of her favorite dishes were present, including the pasta salad with pickled vegetables.As she watched Anderson help her mix the pasta salad, Piper teasingly suggested, "Handsome dude, you're so attentive to Jane. Why don't you just confess your feelings and ask her out?"Anderson shot her a glare. "Can't you eat without running your mouth?"Jane also felt a bit overwhelmed by the attention and quickly interjected, "I can manage on my own, thank you."However, Anderson continued to serve her, placing the mixed pasta salad in her hand and picking out some of her favorite dishes to add to her bowl.After the meal, Jane checked her phone and saw that it was already past one o'clock. She sent a message to Damien asking if he was hungry.As they headed to the karaoke bar, Jane remembered a singing competition called "Voice of Dreams" that Seth had mentioned. She wondered aloud, "What if I participated in a singing show?"Piper eagerly replie
Jane stayed quiet, the elevator door opened, and she walked out first.Anderson's voice came from behind, "Jane, I know you will never forget that past, but if you do this, will your mother's soul in heaven be satisfied?"Jane halted, turned to face him, and questioned, "Can the deceased really witness the living world?"Anderson remained silent as there was no answer.Jane shook her head, "When I was young, I believed that dreams were the most significant thing, and I was ready to sacrifice everything to achieve them. As I grew older, I realized that my dreams were often fulfilled by others. It's unfortunate that I realized this too late.""Jane, you..."Jane smiled, "I'm fine, I just want to say that I know what I'm doing, thank you."She nodded at him, turned around, and walked away.Anderson was about to follow when his phone rang.He took it out and saw that it was Piper calling."Is Jane with you?" She asked."No.""Let me tell you, take her to a romantic dinner place tonight. S
Jane exited the kitchen and settled herself in the dining room. Within moments, Damien arrived with two bowls of soup and placed one in front of her before sitting on a stool beside her."Thank you," Jane expressed her gratitude before tasting the soup with a spoon. The soup was fresh but not too oily, with a strong bone flavor.Looking at Damien, she asked, "This soup is amazing, how did you make it?"Damien responded, "Interested in learning?"Jane nodded, thinking of making it for Jonathan later.Damien stretched out his hand, "Tuition fee."Jane was taken aback for a moment and asked, "How much?"Damien scoffed, "Do I look like someone who needs money?"Jane realized her mistake and felt embarrassed. After all, he was the wealthiest person in New York."What do you want then?" she asked."You," Damien stated, meeting her gaze.Jane was shocked and thought she had misheard him. "What did you say?"Damien withdrew his gaze and said nonchalantly, "I'll teach you after you finish the
Jane gazed at him with droopy eyes and couldn't help but wonder if her brother's request for company meant the opposite. But what was his significance to her?"When will you return?" he inquired.Jane pondered for a moment before responding, "I am uncertain."Damien remained silent.Jane lifted her head and met his intense gaze, which seemed to harbor a tempestuous and perilous storm.Suddenly, Damien strode past her and headed upstairs.Jane turned to observe his retreat, slightly furrowing her brows. Was he unhappy? It couldn't be.After checking the time, Jane grabbed her suitcase and left.After a week in the hospital, Seth returned.The first thing he did was take her to shoot a music video for a new artist.It's worth noting that some novice singers these days are excessively haughty.Vin Rodriguez's popularity was average, his appearance was decent, and his physique was satisfactory, but he acted as if he was the most remarkable person.Upon seeing Jane, he immediately lashed o
