Chapter 225 As Long As You Like It
Archie's heart thumped.
She didn't seem to be happy!
Would it be that she didn't like red roses?
He explained, "You're busy with the shooting, so I sent some roses to make you happy!"
Natalia sneered, "Why don't you send yourself here?"
Hearing that, Archie was immediately excited.
"Really? Can I?"
Natalia gritted her teeth.
She patted her forehead, speechlessly.
She shouldn't have said that.
She coughed and changed the topic, "Well. the roses are pretty. I like them."
Well, she had to say something to make him happy sometimes.
She was happy for a moment, but she felt it troublesome when thinking about how to handle them. They were in the way. It was a pity to throw them away and it was not good to give them to someone else. Thinking that the man had sent all these roses and a letter here just to let her know how much he loved her, she'd better not waste them.
Lest he felt heartbroken.
Hearing that, Archie was in a better mood.
"Whatever you like, just tell me. I'll just send them over."
Natalia stopped him, "No, don't send anything next time."
It was not because she wasn't a high-profile person, but that the status of Archie was very special.
She'd better keep a low profile or her relations with Archie might be found out.
Archie felt unhappy hearing that.
"Why do I feel that you dislike me very much."
Natalia chuckled.
"How dare I. I just feel you don't have to make it a big deal. Others will think I am competing.
Archie curled his lips.
"It's not a problem. My lover woman the best."
Natalia was speechless.
"Well, if you say so. It's late. I have to get down to my business."
Archie hurried to say something more before they hung up the phone.
In the next days, they found there seemed to be some sort of competition between Natalia and Jessica going on in the filming site.
Whenever Jessica received a gift, Natalia would receive a better and more expensive gift of the same kind.
For example, Shawn sent Jessica nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers. Natalia would receive nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers.
After Jessica got a diamond ring, Natalia would get a bigger, more dazzling and exquisite diamond ring.
After Jessica got a customized dress, a top-notch dress designer came to the filming site to make a dress for Natalia.
They couldn't help but be astonished.
What happened? Whoever had sent those gifts must be so rich!
Rumors had it that Natalia wormed her way between Jessica and Shawn. So, who gave her so many gifts?
That man could always give better gifts than Shawn and didn't seem afraid of offending him.
It could be seen that that man must be more powerful than Shawn.
Was he Natalia's boyfriend?
Soon all kinds of speculations spread across the crew.
Natalia was at a loss for what to do.
Though she felt it uneasy being stared by them, she raised no objections to Archie's deed seeing Jessica's awkward and angry expression. Rumors went around.
Some of the girls in the crew had helped Jessica and made fun of Natalia before when they saw Shawn coming to Jessica every day.
And now, to their surprise, Jessica had received so many gifts. Especially when they saw a large ruby sent to Natalia, they were really envious.
An ordinary man, no matter how rich he was, couldn't buy it with money.
It was usually in the collection of some tycoons. Now, it was sent to Natalia as a gift, indicating Natalia's sugar daddy was not only influential but generous to Natalia.
Even a fool understood what it meant.
Therefore, the public opinion in the crew became partial to Natalia.
They elbowed out Jessica just the same way they elbowed out Natalia.
Jessica had never been treated like that, so she got furious.
However, those women didn't mention her name, so Jessica had no way to vent her anger and became more depressed.
That night, she heard someone delivering a set of coral jewelry with perfect quality and craftsmanship to Natalia. It was said to be the dowry of a princess in the Middle Ages.
Most of them at the filming site felt surprised when they saw the set of jewelry, so they were talking about it during the dinner.
Jessica held the meal box and sat down, listening to their conversation, somewhat jealous of Natalia.
How could this bitch be loved so deeply?
She had never seen that set of jewelry with her own eyes. Several years ago, when this set was auctioned, she saw it on a magazine.
It was indeed beautiful and seemed to be bought by a mysterious man at three hundred million or so.
That mysterious man should be Archie.
Was he stupid? He even used jewelry worth three hundred million to please a mistress?
Ridiculous.
It was so ridiculous.
She should feel it ironic, but she was still somewhat jealous of Natalia.
She was not worse than Natalia. Why couldn't she have such a good thing?
More importantly, Jessica couldn't put up with the gazes of those people.
They threw mocking and disdainful gazes at her as if she was a joke.
Just meeting those gazes, Jessica almost collapsed.
Finally, in the evening, Jessica asked Shawn to send something more valuable to her.
Hearing that, Shawn instantly felt Jessica went crazy.
"Why do you ask for expensive jewelry? I've given you several rings and necklaces."
Jessica gritted her teeth.
"They were nothing. You know? Natalia could get a variety of valuable gifts every day. Today, she even received a set of coral jewelry. I just want something better. Do I go too far?"
"So, you just want to keep up with her?"
Jessica bit her lips, somewhat embarrassed.
"Shawn, don't worry. I'll pay you back. You should know the rules of the entertainment circle. Natalia and I are in the same crew. If they think I am inferior to her in all aspects, they will consider letting her endorse luxury brands instead of me. I do all this for my career."
Shawn snorted with a half-smile.
