Chapter 1528 Contract Termination
At that time, she ignorantly joined this circle where she then saw Julian, who had just won the best actor award, and she watched the entire award ceremony that day. It was as if even the cameramen were especially fond of filming him, so most of the shots outside the award ceremony were of this man. He looked dignified under the various lights. Despite the numerous high-definition lenses pointed at his face, he sat calmly on the couch, showing no fear of being filmed from all angles. That night, Jessie found the only male celebrity she wanted to pursue—him.
Thus, she gathered all information about him within this circle. She had heard all kinds of gossip about male celebrities, but people only mentioned him sporadically as his lifestyle was just too faultless, and he had no scandals to offer to this circle. Even if he had a few headlines, it was only about his films.
Hence, Jessie felt that her dreams had turned into reality. She had once dreamed about him, but she didn’t even dare to approach him then, and could only watch him from afar.
Jessie sighed slightly and propped her chin up while she squatted in front of the bed. Her eyes greedily surveyed the face before her and eventually landed on his sensual lips. Her face flushed red right up to her ears as she recalled the several kissing scenes they had in the morning.
She felt that Vincent must have deliberately not let her go through the scenes, but she couldn’t find any proof of that as every time she was kissed, her mind went blank and she simply didn’t know how to act. She thought to herself, If I steal a kiss from him now, he wouldn’t find out, right? Besides, he kissed me so many times in the morning. Surely, it’s not a problem if I sneak a little kiss as an interest.
Jessie gulped and bit her lip nervously, like a thieving kitten, then slowly approached his thin lips and closed her eyes, touching him lightly. Immediately after that, she hurriedly drew back. She couldn’t go on kissing him like this in case she woke him up.
However, she was satisfied even with a light touch. She picked up her phone to look at the news for a while and immediately saw the video of Eva leaving the hospital earlier that was posted by her fans. In the video, Louie guarded her closely as if he were her bodyguard, and even if someone were to bump into her, he would be able to protect her immediately.
Jessie thought, If only Eva got together with Louie. It seemed that she was worried for Julian because he wanted Eva to be his sister-in-law.
Meanwhile, Eva had just returned to the hotel when Louie’s assistant came over to invite her to dinner in the hotel restaurant. After changing into a comfortable outfit, she went to the restaurant where Louie was waiting for her in a private booth.
There was a bouquet of bright roses on the couch for her. Eva took a look at the flowers, then at the man on the couch. Picking up a cup of tea, she sat by the dining table and looked at him. “Let’s talk about the termination of my contract.”
“I don’t want you to leave my company.” Louie got straight to the point as he wasn’t fond of beating around the bush.
“I have the right to unilaterally terminate my contract. You can’t make me stay.” She had earned enough money in his company over the years, and she now wanted to be free.
“If I wanted you to stay, I’d definitely find a way.” He raised his eyebrows slightly, using his identity as her superior to pressure her.
“D-Don’t go too far,” an enraged Eva warned.
“Don’t leave. Stay by my side, and I can give you all the resources you want.” Louie involuntarily pleaded with her. If it wasn’t for her insistence to leave, he wouldn’t have bothered to use his status to bargain with her.
“What if I refuse?” In all her years of being in this circle, Eva had developed a temper. Though she could be kind, she also had a sharp edge.
“Then, I can only forcefully retain you.” Louie’s legal department had no pushovers. Once they examined the contract, there would be plenty of loopholes for them to exploit.
“Louie, you think you stand to gain anything by keeping me by your side?” Eva gripped her teacup and placed it on the table.
