Jiaojiao took some time to find her voice. âYou... youâre here. Why didnât you guys answer the door...â
âOh, we were kissing. We didnât want to be interrupted,â said Mo Liuxi in a relaxed tone, as if he was talking about the weather.
Jiaojiao was shocked. Who on earth would say that?
She buried her head in her arms. She was only an assistant who didnât need that kind of information in her work-life. Shi Xiang had left the room with a lipstick mark on his face. Once Yan Su dealt with that, another pretty boy emerged from her room, and this one told her they were kissing.
She looked carefully and found a hint of Yan Suâs lipstick on his lips. He had wiped them, yet some traces could still be seen
Did Yan Su have a group of boyfriends?
âMr. Mo, when did you...â Jiaojiao managed to calm herself down, then asked, âArenât you guys just neighbors?â
âOf course not. Donât you know that neighbors can easily fall in love with each other?â Mo Liuxi smiled, making himself sound very reasonable.
âThen Shi Xiang...â Mo Liuxiâs face became cold even before Jiaojiao could finish her words.
He made a step toward Jiaojiao and said, âKeep an eye on him. Donât let him get anywhere near her.â
Jiaojiao didnât know what to say. Why would she do that for him? She didnât work for him. Who on earth did he think he was? How ridiculous.
âMr. Mo... Su just started her career. Itâs not a good time for her to start a relationship. My company has told her so...â
âYour company didnât forbid her to do that, did they? Besides, who am I?â said Mo Liuxi blandly. âI own a film company, and Iâm a young director who has a bright future. Iâll always support her. Will your company fire her for being with me? It would be fine if that happened because Iâll help her. I have money and resources. As for you, as an assistant, following her everywhere will not do you any harm.â
Jiaojiao was deeply convinced.
The most resourceful people in the entertainment industry were directors and film company owners. He was both. He grew up in Europe, so he had great international resources too.
âAnd Shi Xiang...â Mo Liuxi gave a cold smile, and said, âHe is going to end his contract with his Korean company soon. He has a lot of fans in the country, but is his background as good as mine? Is he as handsome, tall and young as I am? Does he have my capabilities?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiaojiaoâs lips twitched slightly. She didnât know what to say. She wasnât sure about the comparison but was pretty sure that Shi Xiang would be not as thick-skinned as he was. As for age, he was even younger than Yan Su, so that didnât count.
However, some of Mo Liuxiâs words did make sense. Jiaojiao had heard that Yan Su had the best resources because Nian Junting had talked to the owner of the company. Nian Junting was Mo Liuxiâs brother-in-law, so Jiaojiao did not dare to displease Mo Liuxi.
âSo... give me your WeChat number.â Mo Liuxi took out his phone and said, âIâll contact you if I canât reach Su. Also, let me know if anyone mistreats her, or if sheâs in a bad mood.â
âWhy would I give you my number?â Jiaojiao didnât think it was necessary.
âBecause I like her. I need the numbers of the people surrounding her, so Iâll know where to find her if she disappears someday,â Mo Liuxi said seriously.
