As Ivan was drawing one script from the pile, he said, "Gabrielle likes this one and wants to shoot it."...

Jackson asked, "Unforgettable?"

Ivan answered, "It's a film to be directed by David Davis. He's a famous director."

Unforgettable was about how a boy and a girl met at a festival abroad. They were attracted to each other and spent hours of happy time together. When they departed, the girl told the boy if they could meet each other on the same day 10 years later, she would become his girlfriend. After 10 years, the boy grew out to be a mature man. What happened with the girl became unforgettable to her.

Jackson saw the kissing scenes and love scenes marked in the script, and slammed it back to Ivan, saying, "Where does she get the balls?"

Was she crazy since there were dozens of kiss scenes and three scenes in bed?

Ivan made quiet complaints in his mind about Jackson. And he pointed at the script, saying, "Maybe it's because of this..."

Jackson looked down at where Ivan put his fingertips. That was the shooting location. It said the Ancient Country.

Ivan said, "Avery is in the Ancient Country. Maybe it's the reason Gabrielle is firm to shoot this film."

Jackson murmured, "The Ancient Country." He chewed on the name and didn't say a word.

Jackson frowned to think for moments and asked, "Where is she? What's she doing?"

Then Jackson bent over to unlock his phone. She answered neither his calls nor texts.

Was she at the film set?

Ivan just came back from Gabrielle's film set. He knew Gabrielle had finished shooting and was in the gym...

Ahem...

But should Ivan tell Jackson or not?

Ahem...

But should Ivan tell Jackson or not?

Ivan thought for a moment and decided to tell Jackson. He said, "Gabrielle is in the gym picking a trainer."

"Picking a trainer?" Jackson frowned, and he looked more handsome, "What trainer?"

Ivan answered, "A boxing trainer."

Jackson asked, "Is it for her show?"

Ivan answered, "Not really... she wants to learn it." The odd thing was Gabrielle had changed since Jackson put her on his shoulder to carry her back from Bryan's apartment. When she didn't have work, he wouldn't wake up until it was noon. But she got up early for exercise every morning no matter if it was raining or sunshine.

Ivan used to ask Gabrielle. She said mysteriously, "So I can run faster."

Now Gabrielle went to find a boxing trainer. Ivan didn't understand why she didn't ask Jackson to train her. Jackson was the best in Thai boxing and judo. No one was his match in A Country, but Gabrielle went to find someone else.

And most boxing trainers were men. They were all tall and muscular.

How did Gabrielle think about Jackson?

As Ivan was thinking, he started sweating. He looked up again and saw Jackson leaving the office.

Ivan hurried to follow Jackson. He thought Ivan was too slow and grabbed him in front, saying, "Lead the way."

***

Gabrielle put her hair in a bun and wore baby blue training outfits. She put her chin above the rope of the boxing ring as she watched two muscular boxers fighting each other. She yawned from time to time.

She found it boring that one punched and the other stroke back. Her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't keep them open.

One said, "Gabrielle, do you want to give it a try?"

A boxer approached Gabrielle. There was a beautiful girl in the boxing arena, and men couldn't help getting more energetic while exercising.

Gabrielle suddenly woke up and shook her head.

Those guys were professionally trained. If she fought against them, they would crush her easily and effortlessly.

Gabrielle wasn't stupid. It was already hard to survive to be Jackson's girlfriend.

Those guys were professionally trained. Seeing the boxer hasn't left, Gabrielle said out of curiosity, "How much longer does it need to learn all the skills to protect yourself?"

He said, "About 2 or 3 years."

"2 or 3 years?"

Gabrielle raised her volume out of surprise. Damn, she thought she was doomed. If Jackson or K's Clam found out she was the leak and sent people to go after her, she wouldn't be able to protect herself.

Gabrielle remembered how Jackson said if he would let the snitch go, K's Clam wouldn't.

Er~ Gabrielle thought she had tough luck. Thinking so, she got more frustrated.

Gabrielle sighed, saying, "Is there anything quick I can learn?"

The boxer said, "You can't go after speed if you want anything done properly." He was big and tall. Standing next to Gabrielle, he made her look so small. He showed off his muscles, saying, "Actually, I have a shortcut for you."

Gabrielle's eyes lit up, and her interest was aroused, saying, "What kind of shortcut? Why don't you say so?"

He said, "You can date a boxer like me. He'll stay with you all the time to protect you. Isn't it faster than exercising on your own?"

Gabrielle laughed out because she thought it was funny. So she played along. Then the laughter quieted down.

Gabrielle stopped laughing out of guilt. She asked, "Can you see the man entering the door?"

He answered, "Sure. My eyes are great."

Damn!

Gabrielle thought there was something wrong with her eyes. It was really him.

But why was he in trainers?

And why was he on his own?

Gabrielle looked around and didn't see Ivan Hill.

Gabrielle didn't believe that Jackson happened to come here to work out too.

The man said, "You girls just like good-looking dudes. They are so tender and fragile to do anything." The boxer saw Jackson and pouted.

"Ah," Gabrielle sighed, putting her chin on the rope, "You will see if he's what you said so."

The boxer said, "Well, I'm the boxing contest champion."

Gabrielle lost confidence in the boxer so fast, seeing Jackson closer and closer.

She said, "Not anymore. You'll know soon."

Seeing how Gabrielle defended Jackson, the boxer asked, "Do you know him?"

"Our relationship is beyond that," Gabrielle sighed, saying, "He's my daddy."

Actually, it was the sugar daddy.

Now it was the boxer's turn to get shocked. He would not believe Jackson would have a daughter Gabrielle's age. Thinking so, he smiled with doubt, saying, "If I knock him down on the ground, would you call me daddy too?"

Gabrielle didn't believe him for a second. Jackson had so many enemies, and he must excel at fighting skills. So she waved her hand, saying, "Whatever. If you can knock him down, I'll call you whatever you like."

Actually, it was the sugar daddy.

From the second Jackson walked in, he saw Gabrielle talking to a stranger putting her chin on the rope.

Jackson looked like a cheetah whose domain has been invaded. He walked fast to Gabrielle with a warning look, saying...
