Chapter 1490 Leave Now If You Don’t Want to Act Can Julian and Lisa also be in this kind of relationship? That's why they'd make out as soon as they meet up, which ended up in the earring being dropped on the couch in the process, right? While Jessie was deep in her thoughts, an alluring male voice traveled to her ears. “Is the coffee for me?” “Ah, yes. | got it for you,” she answered at once after being pulled back to reality. “Oh, | found this. You should return it to Miss Powers later.” With that, she showed him the earring in her hand. Julian furrowed his brows in response. “Where did you find it?” “On the couch. It’s Miss Powers’, | assume,” she answered with a smile. “Just throw it into the trash can,” he ordered. Is he not going to return it?! “It looks pretty expensive. Are you not going to return it to her?” Jessie asked with surprise.
Julian, for one, saw through Lisa’s act right away. So, even if the earring was hers, she had dropped it here on purpose. Obviously, she wanted to use the excuse of finding her earring to get close to him again.
“Leave it on the table then. I'll have my assistant return it to her.” Returning it to Lisa will save her from having to cup with another excuse to findagain.

She had run away so quickly that she didn’t see Lisa leaving in discomfiture under his sub-zero gaze. “Let's get down to the read-through.” At that, he took out two scripts and handed one to her.
Jessie didn’t chit-chat anymore either and started reading the first page, for it was a flashback scene. The lines were of the female lead expressing her love for the male lead as she stood leaning in his arms by the lotus pool.
The male lead’s nwas Alioth while the female lead was Estelle.
“Why aren’t you reading?” Julian looked up to find her Bing at the script in her hands.
Jessie wasn’t an actor, so it was only natural for her to be nervous when she was reading her lines in front of Julian for the first time.
“Cough... | don’t care if you're a king or the ruler of the world. | love you. There's never a day that | don’t, and the universe can prove it. Even if I'll be damned forever, | will still love you.” Jessie blushed after she was done reading the line, and she dared not even look at the man across from her.
Meanwhile, Julian riveted his alluring gaze on her. “Not enough emotions. Again.” She choked in response. But aren't they just doing voice-overs?! “Cooper wants to use our original voices this time. So, you better be prepared.” The revelation rendered Jessie stupefied for a few seconds before she regained her senses. “Our original voices? But my voice doesn’t even sound good!” Her insecurity was acting up again.

I... worry things will get awkward.” Jessie bit her lip and lowered her head. Yes, she wanted to act, and she threw herself into the industry as well. However, it was only after joining showbiz that she realized she was still incompetent. She was even thinking of chickening out now.
He put his script down. He knew that she was thinking of backing out, and he couldn't help worrying this girl would just drop and bail. That said, he wasn’t going to take no for an answer. He had dragged her into showbiz in hopes of acting alongside her in the first place.
“Are you going to disappoint me, Jessie Silverstein?” He sat down graciously on the couch. His black dress shirt made him look like a lofty black swan.
Startled, Jessie looked up at the man across from her. It was as if there was a powerful energy influencing her, ruthlessly casting her insecurity away, and pulling her back from chickening out.
No, | can’t disappoint him. Never.
“Leave now if you don’t want to act. I'll sort the rest out. If you want to act, then prove what you have it takes to me.” At that moment, Julian seemed unforgiving and somewhat heartless even.
