Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 612 Your Hard Work Has Finally Paid Off

Moore looked at Adolf respectfully and after hesitating for some moments, he finally shook hands with

Adolf.

Seeing this, Jean gave a satisfied smile.

All this while Moore was into himself and did not show clearly what he was feeling, but something had

changed. Jean now saw Moore taking on his responsibilities towards Avery, almost as if he was

officialy taking Avery on from Adolf.

Looking toward Avery who was on stage, Jean was deeply touched and she blessed Avery from her

heart.

'Avery, do you know

your hard work has finally paid off?

Moore no longer just sticks by you as a friend but will be more responsible for you as a boyfriend, '

thought Jean.

"Finally, I'm relieved." Adolf managed to smile despite the sadness and sorrow in his heart. "Please

take care of Avery. She is yours now," he said to Moore.

"I will." Just those two words were enough. Jean's heart lit up with happiness and excitement on

hearing the confidence in Moore's voice.

"Please enjoy yourself. I shall take my leave." A sense of relief and loss took over Adolf as he bid

farewell to Moore and rushed off quickly. He didn't want to show his conflicting emotions.

"God, it seems like he's really upset," Jean said with a sigh as she watched Adolf leave.

"It's only natural for him to feel a sense of loss. But I'm sure he'll recover soon," said Moore to Jean

confidently.

"Yes, I think so." Jean smiled and then looked at Moore curiously. "Moore, did you agree to take care of

Avery because you were touched by her efforts in this relationship? Or because you have begun

thinking of her in an entirely new way after hearing Adolf's words?"

"Both, I guess. Honestly, I didn't expect Avery to have such strong feelings for me and I was touched.

Today, she surprised me. That created a strong impression on me, and since then I have had a new

image of her in my heart,"

Moore said as he looked in Avery's direction who was standing at some distance and sighed.

"She casts a good spell on you, doesn't she? Moore, are you falling for Avery?" Jean looked at Moore

and smiled with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Who has Moore fallen for?" A familiar voice made them turned their heads around.

"Why are you here?" Jean was surprised to see Zed approach them.

Zed appeared from the crowd and walked towards them with a big smile.

"You said that you would be dealing with some company business. Why did you still come?" Jean

continued asking Zed since he hadn't replied.

"It's all done. You know that I am good at work. Do you know what time it is? I'm here to pick you up

and have lunch," replied Zed as he put his arm around Jean's shoulder lovingly.

"Lunch?" Jean was slightly taken aback and then laughed. "How time flies! It is lunch time."

Seeing Zed come, the director and the coordinator came to greet him leaving their work mid-way.

Zed greeted both back and said in a casual tone, "Alright. Let's wrap up."

Soon, Avery's staff started to pack up and gather the props. One could clearly see them happy to be

getting off work so early.

Jean was surprised at this.

'A man has such power. You can get done things like this!' She snapped her fingers to show what she

meant.

'Only one word, and the ass-kissers will get what you want.

You don't even need to spell out orders. Just one-word order and things happen, ' thought Jean. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She looked at Zed with pride.

'This is Zed, my husband.'

All morning she and Moore had been there, but the director hadn't even looked at her.

With Zed coming here, everyone's attitude had undergone a tremendous shift. She felt slightly

disoriented but was happy for Zed because he was highly respected.

"Adolf, come with us!" Zed broadly smiled at Adolf and invited. "Let's have lunch together."

"Go ask the director and the art director to come too," said Zed to his assistant.

"Yes, Mr. Qi." The assistant nodded and left.

Avery all dressed up for the performance walked over to them. When she saw Zed, she smiled and

said, "Oh, it's Zed! No wonder the atmosphere changed. Are you looking for Jean to go to lunch?"

"Yes. All of us will go," as he said this he looked at Jean apologetically.

Jean understood his intent and smilingly shook her head.

Zed knew that Jean didn't like crowds, but he, as the CEO, showing up on the first day of the shooting,

should invite the entire staff to have lunch together. This was why he looked at her apologetically.

Jean still felt warm for Zed being considerate enough to pay attention to her feelings.

Jean was a reasonable woman and she could understand what Zed was required to do.

"Can you wait a couple of minutes? I'll go remove my make-up and change clothes," Avery said and

then left breezily as her staff started to clean.

"Jean..." Zed walked over to her and softly asked her, "How are you feeling this morning? Are you

tired?"

"No, I'm all right. Moore and I watched Avery shooting the ad and talked to Adolf for a while." Jean's

smiling face soon turned serious as the thought of the talk came to her. "Zed, there's something that I

want to talk to you after we go home. Let's see whether you can figure out a way."

"Okay." Zed nodded and asked nothing further.

"Do you two want to go first? I'll be here waiting for Avery," asked Moore as he looked at Zed. "We can't

let the director and the others wait."

"All right. Then we'll be waiting for you at the Hilton Hotel," replied Zed as he nodded at Moore.

"Okay, we'll be there soon." Moore walked over to Jean and whispered, "Jean, don't talk to Zed about

Avery. I don't want to bother him."

"That's all right. Two heads are better than one," Jean looked at Moore seriously and said. "I won't

stand it since I know it, irrespective of Avery being your girlfriend or not. I'm sure Zed can think of a

better way."

"All right! Since you insist, I'll not say anything." Hearing Jean say in such a convinced voice, Moore

couldn't help but sigh.

Jean gave him a reassuring smile and patted his shoulder before following Zed who was walking out of

the film studio by now.

The moment she got into Zed's car, Zed asked, "What were you and Moore whispering

about?"
