Avery was frozen on the spot. She asked Gabby to tell Jackson to persuade Charles's mother. She was worried about the risk. And she refused to have Charles take the op before a better plan came up.

Jackson was the nephew of Charles's mother. His words worked better than others'.

And he didn't fail Avery.

Avery wanted to say more, but Gabby left. As she said, she ran out of phone traffic.

On the other side of the phone

A Country was night time.

Gabrielle was outside the private room. She stared at the new phone. When Hill Ivan brought the phone to her, he said, "This is the most luxurious phone in the world. It has gold buttons and edges. The screen is filled with blue diamonds. The backplate is seamless ceramic. I've put the SIM card in, and your number is the same. Jackson asked me to get you a new phone plan."

Gabby thought the phone was like some new money would use. It's shining. She was uneasy compared with the old crappy phone she used for three years.

Hill was kind to explain for her, "Jackson said you're in too much debt. So the phone plan sticks with the minimum costs."

Minimum costs...

She knew the perv wouldn't get generous for her!

Forge it, and it's better than nothing...

Gabby took over the phone with faith. Then she heard Hill's version of the minimum phone plan.

"500GM AND 60 minutes of free calls every month. And, it's free when you call or receive calls from Jackson."

"What about my phone bill?"

"0."

Gabby threw the phone back to Hill like a bomb, "Hill, you know what? I actually don't get to use my phone much. What did you say the phone costs?"

"360, 000."

?

"Mis Peters, take it. If Jackson couldn't reach you, the consequence..."

Hill gave her a look. Could she pretend she didn't understand?

"Oh, right, the phone card is custom made. If you change a new card, you can't use it. And, Jackson said the phone bill would be added to your debt."

A fucking blood-sucking vampire? Even 360,000 was added to her bill?

Back to now, Gabrielle stared at the expensive phone with tears. She made one cross-continent call and said one word...

She was shut off!

A brown custom made shoe was underneath her eyes. She looked up along the long legs and saw Jackson's snuggle.

"Why're you here? Wait for me to throw you money?"

Then he reached in his pocket and took out a ring thingy. He was about to give it to her when he realized he made a mistake... He hurried to put it back in his pockets.

Gabby looked at him without talking.

"You didn't see that, do you?"

Bryan took out a new coin like he was hiding sth.

"What?"

Gabby blinked, "Didn't I see you take out a ring?"

Bryan poked Gabby on her forehead, "Couldn't you pretend you didn't say it?"

Gabby fell backward, and her phone dropped out.

Bryan moved faster than she did and bent over to get the phone, "Did you change your phone?"

"Give it to me."

"From your sugar daddy?"

"Let me keep it for a few days."

Bryan put it in his pockets.

What was weird was that the phone rang. Bryan took it out to see the screen, "Damn! Your sugar daddy's calling!"

Gabby hurried to grab the phone and rushed to the exit. That was the quietest.

"Jackson, what keeps you at this hour?"

"Where are you?"

"Me? You know where I am, don't you?"

Gabrielle was so guilty. Jackson didn't want her to act. So she went out auditioning while he was on business trips.

Daniel had a movie.

Gabby got to play the part of a female actress three for 50 million. And she didn't have to show her face.

It was so tempting. Although the price for sleeping with Jackson for one night...

That was not the same.

To get two 50 million, she sold her body and her talent, respectively. She was a girl with talent.

"Music?"

Why was his hearing so good? She didn't hear anything. But he heard music.

"Oh, I can't sleep while you're away. So I put on some music."

"And men."

"How do you know?"

Gabby bit her tongue. Jackson was a neat freak. He wouldn't have sex with a woman who had sex with other men before. She had to count on him.

Then she hurried to change her answer, "Nonononono. Absolutely not."

"Gabby!"

It was Bryan's voice. Gabby wanted to throw the phone at him and wondered what was odd of hitting him.

She was about to explain to Jackson but...

Jackon hung up.

"Bryan, you fuck me up!"

"Daniel is waiting for you."

Gabby bit her teeth and followed Bryan to come into the room.

Cold—

It was so cold. The air was so cold that it would turn a foreign creature into ice.

Gabby looked up, and there was a new man inside.

But why was he so pretty?

He was like the god people imagined: good-looking and noble living above the clouds.

But, the man ignored her and flipped through the contract she was about to sign.

Gabby hated herself for being here.

"Jackson, this is the outline. Is there anything you need to change?"

"Change? It's the final script. Why does it change? Why does that concern, Jackson?"

Gabby shook her head. Nope. She had nothing to do with this. She wasn't here.

She quietly stepped back. And she heard Jackson's voice.

"Female actress three."

Gabby felt her heart stopped beating. And Jackson kept going, "Is no good."

Everyone looked at Gabby at the same time. Daniel smiled, "In which aspect is not good?"

"Looks."

"Our female actress three is a bird. She doesn't need looks."

"A bird?"

"This is about a bird falling in love with a human, i.e., our leading actor."

Speaking of actors, everyone looked at Bryan at the same time.

Jackson looked angry and sneered, "The setting doesn't make any sense. How could a bird fall in love with a human? It can only love its kind."

"This..."

Bryan lifted his eyebrows in a naughty way and added like he had nothing to lose, "Maybe the bird doesn't fall in love with a man, but a birdman does."
