My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1672
Night of Destiny
Chapter 1672 Leave Now If You Donât Want to Act
Can Julian and Lisa also be in this kind of relationship? Thatâs why theyâd 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. âIs the coffee for
me?â
âAh, yes. I got it for you,â she answered at once after being pulled back to reality. âOh, I found this. You
should return it to Miss Powers later.â With that, she showed him the earring in her hand. Julian
furrowed his brows in response. âWhere did you find it?â
âOn the couch. Itâs Miss Powersâ, I assume,â she answered with a smile. âJust throw it into the trash
can,â he ordered. Is he not going to return it?!
âIt looks pretty expensive. Are you not going to return it to her?â Jessie asked with surprise.
Julian, for one, saw through Lisaâs 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.
âLeave it on the table then. Iâll have my assistant return it to her.â Returning it to Lisa will save her from
having to come up with another excuse to find me again.
âMiss Powers looked a little unwell earlier. Is she alright?â Jessie asked. âSheâs alive and kicking,â he
answered.
She had run away so quickly that she didnât see Lisa leaving in discomfiture under his sub-zero gaze.
âLetâs get down to the read-through.â At that, he took out two scripts and handed one to her.
Jessie didnât 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 leadâs name was Alioth while the female lead was Estelle.
âWhy arenât you reading?â Julian looked up to find her gawking at the script in her hands.
Jessie wasnât 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.
âCough⦠I donât care if youâre a king or the ruler of the world. I love you. Thereâs never a day that I
donât, and the universe can prove it. Even if Iâll be damned forever, I will still love you.â
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. âNot enough emotions. Again.â
She choked in response. But arenât they just doing voice-overs?!
âCooper wants to use our original voices this time. So, you better be prepared.â
The revelation rendered Jessie stupefied for a few seconds before she regained her senses. âOur
original voices? But my voice doesnât even sound good!â
Her insecurity was acting up again.
To that, Julian smiled. âI think itâs pretty good.â
âBut I-Iâll stutter. Iâll slur when Iâm nervous. I⦠worry things will get awkward.â 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 couldnât help worrying
this girl would just drop and bail. That said, he wasnât going to take no for an answer. He had dragged
her into showbiz in hopes of acting alongside her in the first place.
âAre you going to disappoint me, Jessie Silverstein?â 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, I canât disappoint him. Never.
âLeave now if you donât want to act. Iâll sort the rest out. If you want to act, then prove what you have it
takes to me.â At that moment, Julian seemed unforgiving and somewhat heartless even.
