Even so, the faint moonlight mixed with the nighttime lights, shining on the cobblestone road in the middle of the ancient film city.
There were quite a few people around the clearing, all looking over with expressions of curiosity and gossip. Nell followed their eyes and saw Celine seated on a lounge chair. Jason sat next to her on a small stool, talking to her.
A faint smile hung on Celine’s face and she held a drink in her hand. They looked at each other when they spoke, but no one knew what they were saying. However, the crisp and sweet laughter floated with the wind and seemed to carry a sweet scent in the air.
Someone whispered, “Those two really are a great match. I can tell that Young Master Morton really is quite devoted to Celine Jennings. I wonder when they’ll officially get married.”
“Yeah, it’s not an exaggeration to say that they’re a golden couple. The Mortons have deep and powerful roots in Jincheng and are in charge of Fenghua Entertainment. If Celine Jennings is with him, their resources will not be bad.”
“To still be able to receive a role after a scandal like that, that’s something only she can do.”
“That scandal must be fake! Although Celine sometimes has a bad temper, that’s only to her assistant. She’s quite nice to everyone else.”
“Who knows? However, her assistant is young and it’s possible that she makes a lot of mistakes, so it’s fine if she’s scolded a little.”
“Well, in any case, that’s someone else’s business. What are you guys interfering for?”
“I wasn’t interfering. I was just saying.”
“Sigh! If only I could meet a boyfriend who’s as considerate and rich as Young Master Morton.”
“Head to bed and close your eyes tonight. You’ll meet one immediately.”
“What does that mean?”
“Dreaming! Doesn’t everything exist in dreams?”
“Fine, if you dare to make fun of me, just wait and see what I’ll do!”
The people laughed and bantered, only to be interrupted by a cry shortly afterward.
“Wow, what a beautiful necklace!”
An assistant walked up behind the two, holding a royal blue velvet brocade box in his hand.
Jason took the box and opened it, revealing an exquisitely crafted diamond necklace inside.
Celine was naturally pleasantly surprised and placed her hands on her chest. “Brother Jay, is this for me?”
Jason looked at her tenderly and nodded. “Of course. Didn’t you say you liked it when we went shopping earlier? I bought it for you in secret.”
Celine was so touched that her eyes instantly watered.
“T-This necklace is very expensive. Wasn’t it a waste of money?”
“It’s for you. No matter how expensive it is, it’s not breaking the bank.”
Jason said while picking up the necklace and standing up.
“Come here, I’ll help you put it on.”
Celine nodded.
Jason went around her and gently helped her put on the necklace. The move suddenly ushered in many envious cheers.
“Celine, you’re too blessed. Not only is Young Master Morton handsome and rich, but he’s also so good to you too. You two really make us envious.”
“That’s right, we’ve only started filming for a few days but already have been treated to so many public displays of affection. How can we stand it if it continues on like this?”
“Celine, are you planning to make this a daily occurrence? You two get along so well. I wonder when you’re getting married?”
Celine glanced at Jason.
Jason turned to smile at those people.
Celine’s heart thudded as she looked at his face. She could not help but turn pale.
She took Jason’s hand and asked carefully, “Brother Jay, what’s wrong?”
Jason looked at her with a dark expression. “What’s with the video of you online?”
Celine’s back stiffened.
She forced a smile. “Director Coombs is strict, a-and I haven’t been feeling well these past two days, so my performance wasn’t very good. But Brother Jay, believe me. I have the skills and will definitely act well in this play. I won’t embarrass you.”
Jason frowned.
“The outside world already has a bad opinion of you. The company has already done their best for you. They even took the risk of grabbing Carangi’s endorsement for you. You mustn’t get involved in more trouble now.”
Celine’s eyes immediately widened.
“W-What? An endorsement from Carangi?”
Jason nodded.
“Because of what happened before, almost all your endorsements were withdrawn, which isn’t good for your development. That’s why the company did it’s best to get you this endorsement. The company already handled the specifics, so you must not let me down.”
Celine quickly nodded.
She almost burst into tears.
“Brother Jay, rest assured! I’ll work hard and won’t let you down.”
Jason nodded and reached out to stroke her hair.
“I know that our Celine is the best. After all, if we lose this endorsement, the penalty for the breach of contract is ten times the endorsement fee. You don’t want the Jennings family to go bankrupt because of you, right?”
