Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage novel Chapter 42

When hearing those words, Andy can’t help staring at Jenny.

According the big boss’s request, he knows that the spokesman must be chosen by the boss. He is not happy, so he is playing with the phone all the time. He just asks the manager to discuss with the agent.

Why does she give up the endorsement?

It must be the first time for Andy to meet such thing.

Interesting.

Shawn becomes so angry that she is trembling. She keeps saying sorry to the manager and then drags Jenny to the other side, scolding, “Are you crazy?”

“Shawn, I cannot take this endorsement.”

“Why? It is such a good chance that many people try their best but fail to get it.”

“But I don't get it on my own merit.”

“Jenny,” Shawn is very angry, “You are not a newer for you joint in the showbiz when you were seventeen. It is not a kindergarten here. People in the showbiz try to get success in different kinds of way. But why do you give up such a good chance. You should cherish it.”

“But I really can't take this chance.”

Shawn knows that Jenny is very stubborn.

Shawn is angry, but there is nothing she can do about her refusal to sign the endorsement. Now she regrets that the company does not hand over all the signing rights to her when the company signs the contract with Jenny.

“It’s up to you. You can do what you want in the future. I don't care.”

Shawn frowns, opens the door and goes out of the meeting room.

People in the room look at each other. Jenny bends slightly toward the staffs of Ishmo Jewelry Company, and says sorry. And then she turns to leave.

She knows it must be arranged by Luke. This way of trading is really unpleasant. She feels unhappier than when she lives in the Flower House.

“What’s her name?” Andy looks at the back of Jenny. He takes interested in her.

“It is said that she is arranged by Mr. Lu. Last time, she wore the Venus necklace which was lent by Mr. Lu.”

“Well, Mr. Lu’s friend?” Andy says, “Do you have her photos about her daily life or wearing the Venus necklace? If you do, send me.”

“But she does not take the endorsement.” The assistant answers.

“She is the first person to refuse the endorsement of Ishmo Jewelry Company. Though she is not very beautiful, her courage is rare. So let me enjoy it.”

……

Luke always keeps his words. When Jenny comes out of the company, she sees the driver waiting for her. Then the driver opens the car door respectfully. The driver is polite and gentle.

“Where’s Mr. Lu?”

“He is still having meeting. He asks me to take you to the hotel first. He'll be here soon.”

Now Jenny feels relaxed. Fortunately, they don't go there in the same car together, otherwise she will be embarrassed for a long time.

As long as she stays in the same space with Luke, she can’t help thinking of the night before.

Now Luke is not in the car, but when she thinks of something on the last night, she still feels embarrassed.

Luke books a box in an upscale western restaurant. There are two waiters outside the door. They wear a black vest with a bow tie. They are very respectful.

The waiter pulls back the chair, and Jenny thanks him and sits down to look at the menu.

“When does Mr. Lu come here?”

She thinks that she should not eat first and then looks at Luke when he comes.

“He'll be there in about five minutes. You may order for yourself first. We know Mr. Lu's taste and have ordered it in advance.”

Luke is exceptionally vigorous in work and life. For him, eating is a race against time. Jenny’s afraid that her order is served not as fast as his.

“Wellington Steak.”

She has expected to pay for the meal, but when she sees the price on the menu, she gives up the idea. Her basic salary in a year is not enough to pay the bill, and she does not have any announcement.

“Would you like some drinks?”

“I’d like a glass of water.”

She just glances at the wine list, and finds that it isn't below $1,000.

Luke arrives in exactly five minutes. He still wears the black suit, without a single wrinkle. His feature is very delicate, and his razor-sharp eyebrows has an indescribable seriousness.

“I am sorry for letting you wait me for a long time” He says.

“It does not matter, I have just arrived.”

“Do you order something?”

“Yes. And they say that they help you order according to your habit...”

“Yeah.”

He replies simply and takes out a gift box.

Jenny feels surprised at first. When she sees the rectangular purple gift box open, she takes a deep breath.

It is the necklace that her mother had left her.

“Do you help me repair it?”

Jenny looks at it for a moment. "It is the same as before.”

“What about putting on it?”

Luke asks casually.

Jenny nods and is about to put it on. Then the necklace in her hand is suddenly taken away, only leaving a cold touch.

Luke goes around the table with the necklace. He wants to help Jenny put on the necklace, and she is unable to refuse. His hands pass round her neck and and the silver chain flashes a fleeting light before her eyes. She feels cool on her neck.

“It is said that you turn down the endorsement of Ishmo Jewelry Company.”

Behind her comes a cold voice.

Her back stiffens and she nods hesitantly. "Yeah."

In his opinion, Jenny may be ungrateful.

“If you do not like it, then change into Venchy Company. Ishmo's main line is too noble, and endorsing only one collection won't help too much."

“Venchy?”

Jenny’s eyes widen. Luke says at will. Venchy Company only invites foreign models, so she does not dare to hope to cooperate with it.

“Mr. Lu, I do not mean that...” Jenny hesitates for a long time, but decides to make it clear, “You'd better not interfere in my personal affairs, and we are not very familiar, right?”

It suddenly comes a burst of necklace breaking sound. Exquisite lock buckle slips on Luke’s hand.

“It is not repaired very well. Then I'll have it repaired tomorrow.”

His voice sounds cold and threatening, as if it were a warning.

Jenny feels a chill running through her upper body.
