"Why are you here?" Edward woke up very early this morning, because he needed to deal with some stuffs concerning filming series.

He had intended to boil porridge for Jasmine and wait for she to wake up, but forgot the time as talking about business. Not until catching the smell of burning, did he recall it. It was unexpected to see Jasmine, who was bare-legged and adorkable, standing there.

"This woman, and doesn’t she realize this appearance is easy to incite others to commit crime?" Edward thought. He turned around and saw Brad, who was sizing Jasmine up indifferently, and his face turned instantly.

"Brad, go to the sitting room, please." Said Edward.

Taking a glance at Edward and looking at Jasmine, Brad nodded his head, left the kitchen, and left space for them.

"Why are you here?" Edward asked again after Brad left.

"What a small world!" Said Jasmine. She thought she must have had interminable rotten luck. Otherwise, why would she encounter him repeatedly, and everytime she would be taken advantage of.

"Jasmine, is it your way to thank your benefactor?" Edward raised his eyebrows and looked at Jasmine with his hands in the pocket.

"My benefactor? Excuse me, what favor did you exactly do for me?" Jasmine frowned her eyebrows because of the affectionate nickname.

Somehow, once facing Edward, Jasmine could no longer keep her lady profile, but always showed what she really was.

"Sorry to cause trouble to you last night, Mr. Chu." Said Jasmine. "I will leave you be now." Finding that she was with Edward last night, Jasmine got mad. What happened, happened. But not only did she lose her chastity again, but she lost it to the same guy as well. Jasmine would be breakdown.

Edward didn’t stop her, but walked to the entrance of the guest room, leaned on the wall, and waited for her.

Jasmine was startled by Edward, who was leaning on the door. She walked toward the entrance without even giving him a look. It was not hard to tell the direction though the villa was so big.

Jasmine nodded politely to Brad as she passed the sitting room. Edward was not in a hurry, because he knew that Jasmine would certainly come back once he spoke.

"Jasmine, don’t you want to know the result of the audition?" Asked Edward. As expected, Jasmine stopped, turned around, and looked at him. "Congratulations. You are the chosen leading actress." Said Edward.

"What? Haven’t you ever said that I would never get the leading role as long as you are in charge?" Asked Jasmine. The reason why she went to the night club to get drunk was that she felt that there was no hope to get the role.

"Because... You are my girl... Nobody dare not to show me respect as long as I say a word." Looking at Jasmine playfully, Edward also emphasized the two words, my girl.

Staring at Edward for so long that he thought he would not get the answer, Jasmine took her cellphone out from the pocket. Instantly, Edward had a bad presentiment. "Hey! What are you doing?" He said.

"I’m calling the director. I quit, and I would never accept charity from you!" Jasmine dialed the number of the director. Being quick of eye and deft of hand, Edward grabbed the cellphone from her. "Are you so unwilling to be my girl?" Edward said sadly. "I would never become famous by backdoor deals, and I disdain to be your girl even!" Without showing weakness and looking Edward in the eye, Jasmine said slowly and clearly. The determined eyes made Edward panic for a moment. He seemed to have seen things most familiar to him from Jasmine’s eyes.

What Jasmine said made Brad chuckled. He looked at Edward, as if to say even you would be despised. Edward gave him a dirty look, but did not respond to it.

"Well, in fact, it is the author of this TV show who has appointed you to be the leading actress." Said Edward. "She was very satisfied with your performance, and said that you had played the leading role which was exactly the same as that in her mind. You are the chosen one." Edward restrained his playful look, and seriously told Jasmine the real reason.

In fact, if it was not his sister Jean Chu, who was also called Sugar, the author of the story, who had strongly suggested it, Edward would never have made Jasmine be the leading actress. The two slaps he got could not be for nothing, let alone others.

But he loved his sister much. Jean had been a sickly child and stayed overseas for treatment since she was very young, and her only hobby was writing. Edward had been looking for the suitable leading actress for her play script until he met Jasmine, with who Jean was so satisfied. Therefore, he must make her stay at all costs.

Besides, her performance skills were obvious to all, and she would never fail the play.

However, there was still another important question to which Jean desperately wanted to know the answer.

"I am very satisfied with your performance yesterday, and I also wonder why you performed that way. Of course, the author was curious about it as well. Normally, shouldn’t the leading actress question the leading actor grievingly? Why did you choose to finish the scene with a slap, not saying a word?" Said Edward. He was rather serious while talking about business, and had nothing playful at all.

Knowing that the reason she was chosen was not because of Edward, Jasmine did not resist it so much.

"Actually, I have read Sugar’s novel thoroughly. Although the heroine appears soft on the outside, in fact, her underneath is severe and firm." Jasmine spoke with fervour and assurance. "She acts like she doesn’t care about anything, however, it is her way to protect herself. "

"So I think, when her boyfriend for whom she had paid all did not trust her, she should be desperately miserable. Her pain was unspeakable, but she was so strong that she did not want it noticed by others. Therefore, tears were in her eyes but never dropped. The reason she chose not to speak a work was not only because she had nothing to say, but because she was afraid she would burst into tears once she speak." Speaking of it, Jasmine paused for a moment.

"I think, it is exactly the feelings Sugar wants to express. So I performed it that way." Said Jasmine. She was fond of Sugar very much, though she was not rather well-known and there was a sad and depressed emotion in her novel.

But it reflected the reality of people’s feelings. She went for the audition not only because she wanted to become the leading actress, but because she loved the novel so much that she hoped she could play it.

Hearing what Jasmine said, Edward regarded her with new eyes. "What you said is almost the same as that of the author. That’s why she chose you." Said Edward. "Hope you could perform well, and I’m looking forward to a smooth cooperation." He reached out his hand, wanted to cooperate with her from the bottom of his heart, and admitted her performance skills.

Looking at his hand stretched out, finally, Jasmine shook it firmly.

"I promise I will perform well, not only now, but for the future. I will keep hardworking, and prove myself to others that I will become a big player on my own."
