Chapter 1671 She Would Overthink
“How is this trifle?! I’m doing you a favor here!” Lisa deliberately faked an event just so she could stay a little longer
in his room.
Meanwhile, Jessie had left her room. Though they had agreed to meet at 2.30PM, she still wanted to show up a little
earlier. In her hands were two cups of freshly ground coffee she eagerly wanted to share with him.
Just as Jessie wanted to knock on the door, it opened from inside, startling her. The next second, she found Julian
answering the door with another woman.
Being an old trouper, Lisa acted practically seamlessly the second she saw Jessie at the door, pretending to have
blacked out as she held her forehead and fell limply into Julian’s arms.
As Julian failed to react in time, Lisa successfully hugged him after turning around.
Jessie, on the other hand, quickly realized she had interrupted them. Awkwardly, she said to Julian, “I-I’ll come back
later.”

with images of Lisa hugging Julian. Lisa was the female lead in Julian’s last production and also an A-lister. Her looks
and performance were considered the best.
Meanwhile, Lexie was sorting Jessie’s clothes out when the latter returned. “Hmm? I thought you left to see Young
Master Julian for a read-through. How come you’re back?” she asked with surprise.
“He… He’s in the middle of something else.” Jessie sat somewhat absent-mindedly on the couch. “Lexie, you’re a
sucker for celebrity gossip. Do you know of any past dating rumors between Young Master Julian and Lisa Powers?”
Jessie asked with curiosity, to which Lexie pondered for a moment before answering. “If my memory didn’t fail me
—there was. But it was debunked very quickly.”
“What’s the story?”
“Don’t quote me on this, but Lisa had gone into Young Master Julian’s neighborhood in the middle of the night and
only left two hours later.” The next second, Lexie covered her mouth. “No, wait. Hold on. I think I’ve gotten it
wrong. That never happened.”
Knowing Lexie like the back of her hand, Jessie remarked, “If it happened, it happened. No need to hide it from
me.”
“Okay. There was word about it, but it was deleted pretty quickly; only suckers for gossip like me saw it. Then again,
it doesn’t mean anything is going on between Lisa and Young Master Julian, right?”
“Lisa was in his room just now.”
“What?!” Lexie’s gossip mode turned on instantly. “What were they doing?”
Jessie hadn’t even had the chance to relate what she saw when someone knocked on her door. With that, Lexie
answered it. “Hi, Young Master Julian.” She beamed when she saw who it was behind the door.
“Is Jessie inside?”
“Yeah.”
“Tell her to come to my room,” he ordered before waiting outside.
Meanwhile, Lexie looked over at the young actress on the couch. “Jessie, Young Master Julian asked you to go to his
room.”

reflexively after coming out to find Julian still standing by his door.
“Yeah, come on in!” Julian pushed his door open and entered right away with Jessie following behind him. At that
moment, Lisa had already left.
“Have a seat first. I’m going to get changed.” He had an innate psychological cleanliness disorder toward women,
and he had grown uncomfortable when Lisa threw herself into his arms, causing her thick perfume to be caught in
his shirt.
Jessie then sat down like a good girl. Suddenly, something sparkly on the couch caught her eye, and she picked it up
to find it was an earring.
Is this Lisa’s? How could she have dropped it? Jessie couldn’t help imagining what had gone down. Could they have
possibly made out on the couch just now? Only when a man cups her face and ruffles her hair can the earring drop
by accident, no?
At that, the dating rumor Lexie mentioned popped into her mind. Lisa stayed in his neighborhood for two hours.
What could they have done during that time?
She had seen far too many set couples in this industry and getting into a romantic relationship during filming was
even more common than she’d like to admit. Witnessing so many of these scenarios, she was bound to overthink.
