Chapter 5
The next morning, I was woken up by a phone call from my Chief Editor.
“Lily. Do you have time to talk about the copyright today? I heard that the other party is a big shot in the film industry!”
“Sure.”
Who would go against money?”
It was just that in the past I had a brain fart and foolishly gave up my ego for someone who didn’t deserve it.
After washing up, I put on some decent makeup and changed into my clothes.
When I was about to go out, I noticed that Jacob was sleeping on the sofa.
He rubbed his eyes and stepped forward awkwardly. “Abby, do you have a job? Where do you work? I’ll give you a drive.”
“No, you’re a star. It’s not good to be photographed by others.“N
I had looked for a job more than once in the past.N
Playing games was originally a kind of entertainment. When it became a job, it was not as easy as imagined, and money was not so easy to earn.
However, Jacob prevented me from finding a job and said, “I don’t have time to send you to work.”
I knew that was just an excuse. He had picked up Hailey and sent her to work many times.
However, as soon as I graduated, I became a full–time game trainer. Over time, I had a mild degree of social anxiety. Having seen so many cases of female employees being persecuted online, I could only give up and stay at home.
“Never mind. If we’re photographed, just announce it.” Jacob still insisted.
“No need. I’ve already ordered a taxi.”>
I searched my brain to make sure I hadn’t forgotten anything important before heading out the door.
He caught up with me and helped me pick up my bag. “I’ll take you to the taxi.”
I didn’t know why he insisted on that.
Anyway, when I settled the matter of copyright and found a new residence, we would be completely separated.
Whatever. I didn’t want to waste time.
When the taxi’s door was opened, there was a young female passenger in the car.
“Miss, your boyfriend really looks like the big star Jacob. He’s so considerate!“}
I smiled. “We’re just neighbors who have a good relationship.“}]
Jacob froze as if he hadn’t expected me to say that.
He had told me to clear my relationship with him in time in front of outsiders.
We met in a conference room in a large office building.
I had never been in a situation like this before, so I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, not to mention that I was going to meet a big shot in the film industry.
However, I was stunned when I saw the big shot in person.
He used to be my senior in the same major, Noah Gregg.
He was well–known for both his talent and family background.
Later, he went abroad for further study.
I didn’t expect to meet him in this way.”
Contrary to my expectations, he seemed unsmiling but very approachable. We quickly reached an agreement about the copyright.”
Time flew.
The three parts of “Demon Repressing” finally came to a perfect end.”
The publishing and movie modification were also on the agenda.
My editor even arranged an interview for me at the end of next month.
I had also found a house.”
By chance, I ran into Noah in the elevator.
After learning that I was about to move in, he smiled.
“This neighbourhood has a good environment, and I occasionally live here. I used to study at the same university as you, and I saw you in class…”
He seemed to be more talkative and asked for the dinner together.}
It was hard for me to refuse his kindness.
I didn’t expect him to be so approachable that he took me to an ordinary Chinese restaurant.}
Two girls were chatting happily when they looked at the iPad.”
“The way Jacob and Hailey argued with each other on the show is so loving!“}]
“They are so sweet! I heard that Jacob was going to announce their relationship at the end of the show, but the comment area was already

filled with blessings!”
I glanced at them curiously.”
In the show, they cooperated very well to hype up the atmosphere of the program. They were indeed a good match.
I smiled in relief.”
Very good.
I could live without him.
“Where are you? Shall I pick you up?” Jacob suddenly called.
Shouldn’t he be having fun with Hailey in the show at this time?
“I’m busy. No need.“}
Hearing my rejection, he was silent for a moment. “Abby, Hailey and I were arranged by the program group to hype up. There is no official announcement. You are my girlfriend.”
It was probably the first time he had patiently explained and assured me like that.
But I was not moved at all. “Okay, I see.“}]
“You weren’t like this before.”
“What was that like? Being jealous and irrational with your best friend?“}]
“I…” He was speechless.”
“I used to be suspicious and you must be hard to be with me. It won’t happen again. Is there anything else?”
“No more.”
“I’m hanging up.”
After hanging up the phone, I sat opposite Noah and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gregg. I just received a call.“}} “Abby, call me Noah.”
“No… Noah.”
“Don’t be nervous. I’m not a man–eating monster.”}]
