Chapter 1493 Please Mind Your Language Of course, since it was for her, Jessie would certainly help herself to the food, for she was genuinely famished.
That said, she couldn't possibly finish it all. So, she asked Lexie to help her out. The poor girl then made more room in her stuffed belly and helped herself to seconds.
“Hey, Jess. | know this restaurant. | heard that their minimum charge is one that we commoners won't dare to spend.” Jessie, too, knew which restaurant Lexie was talking about after checking the logo on the bag, and she felt warm and fuzzy on the inside. Who knew if it had to do with the soup or just herself? Later, she spent nearly all night studying the script, memorizing as she went. As she had a pretty good memory, she managed to memorize every single word despite the large chunk of text. More than that, even her emotions had becricher.

It was a movie with only one leading male character— Julian's character. He played an undercover cop, and his acting was commendable. He embodied a ruthless bad guy as perfectly as he portrayed a just cop.
Lisa, on the other hand, played a tragic character in search of her fiancée. As the character was layerfilled in addition to working with Julian, she managed to bag the best-supporting actress last year.
Later, the movie arrived at an intimate scene—Julian and Lisa hugging and kissing in the rain. Jessie knew well that Julian's stunt double had stepped in for the scene, but the two of them looked nearly identical from various angles. Not only that, they shared the sfigure, and her chest felt stuffy as she watched the scene unfold.
After the movie ended, she climbed into her bed and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
When morning came, she received notice that the crew [x | finished setting up the scene, and they would officially begin filming the following morning.
When Jessie and Lexie headed down for breakfast, they bumped into Lisa and her assistant, unfortunately enough.
At that, Lisa sized up Jessie up close, scanning the latter critically from head to toe, looking like she wanted to pick out a flaw. However, the longer she looked, the better she could see how special the young woman Julian favored so much. She had a small oval face and delicate facial features. Not only could she hold the grace of a great woman, but she also gave people a fresh and crisp impression of a girl next door.
Nonetheless, what made Lisa jealous most was her flawless, baby-like skin. It was the type she could rarely find —a cool undertone. Coupled with her big, gorgeous eyes, she had a charming glow to her. Be it in detail or as a whole; the young woman was a sight to behold.

Lexie got out as soon as the elevator door opened. Jessie followed right after her, but Lisa's assistant tripped her the second she took a step, causing her to fall forward. Fortunately, Lexie was standing right in front, so she did not give the floor a morning kiss.
Lexie had also turned around and caught her in the meantime. “You alright, Jessie?” “Oh, I'm so sorry. | didn’t mean to do it.” Lisa's assistant apologized pretentiously at once.
Jessie could tell whether she had done it intentionally or not, and she took a gander at Lisa, who walked out of the elevator with crossed arms and a contemptuous gaze.
Meanwhile, Lexie turned to the assistant. “Be careful next time.” “Huh, you sure are assertive for a mere assistant!” Lisa snorted disdainfully.
“Let's go.” Jessie tugged on Lexie.
“Jessie Silverstein, isn't it? So, you're Julian's new partner? | heard you used to be a stunt double. | have to hand it to you for climbing to this spot. It must've been tiring!” Lisa deliberately stressed the word implicitly.
Jessie had wanted to just leave and not stoop to the woman's level, but after hearing her words, she turned around. “Please mind your language, Miss Powers.”
