NovelOnlineChapter 229
Mr. Smith had been captivated by Jessica's work from the very first glance, and the more pieces he saw, the
more eager he becto have her on his project.
"Ines, could you reach out to her as soon as possible? My film's biggest investor is Timothy he calledasking if
| could arrange a role for someone. He's never askedfor anything before. If we really can't get in touch with
Jessica, I'll have no choice but to agree to Timothy's request."
That night, Jessica's son hadn't been well, and she'd had to rush home. It was easy to understand why she'd
been turning down work all this time.
Still, at their last meeting, Jessica had decided she was ready to return to work. Surely she and her husband had
already talked it over.
Back in the capital, Timothy had given his blessing for Jessica to take on new projects.
Clearly, the role Timothy was lobbying for must have been for Jessica.
Ines laughed and said, "Well, that's perfect, then. To tell you the truth, the person you're looking for is Timothy's
wife."

"What did you say?"
Mr. Smith was genuinely stunned.
"She's Jessica, Timothy's wife."
Suddenly, Mr. Smith broke into a broad grin.
So she was the beautiful woman he'd met at the Zimmerman family's birthday party.
This was better than he could have hoped.
"Well, if that's the case, I'll go straight to Timothy myself. I'll promise him the role he wants-no wonder he
contactedso earnestly, even hinting at bending the rules. Of course, he's making an exception for his wife.
For Jessica's sake, I'll break my own rule this time."
It was as if he'd been searching everywhere for treasure, only to stumble upon it without any effort at all.
Mr. Smith could hardly contain his delight.
Ines was just as happy for Jessica.
The deal was practically sealed.
After saying goodbye to Ines, Mr. Smith left the office.
Sheila, who hadn't heard their conversation, didn't worry about it. Timothy had already given her his word, and
he was a man who kept his promises. There was no need for her to overthink it.
Even if Mr. Smith desperately wanted Jessica, he would end up picking her in the end.
Just like Ines, who recognized Jessica's talent and had taken her on, Mr. Smith would do the same.
When it cto things like this, Timothy always knew exactly what to do.
Timothy, meanwhile, sat gripping his phone, staring at the message Jessica had just sent him.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Mr. Smith.
"Tim, where are you?"
"I'm out."

"Letbuy you a coffee, what do you say?"
Mr. Smith had call the way to Riverside City. As a host, Timothy couldn't refuse.
As for Jessica... After reading her message, Timothy felt restless. Maybe a coffee break was just what he needed
to regain his composure.
They agreed to meet at a café downtown.
When Timothy arrived, Mr. Smith was already there, waving him over with obvious excitement.
Timothy took the seat across from him. "You look like you're in a great mood today."
Mr. Smith nodded enthusiastically. "Of course | am, Tim. You're quite the mystery man, you know that?"
Timothy raised an eyebrow. "What mystery?"
Mr. Smith didn't spell it out. He understood romance and discretion. Many people, like his own mother, preferred
to keep their feelings private. He wasn't about to expose Timothy's affection for his wife.
"Whatever the mystery, I'm happy. Didn't you say you wanted to pull some
strings? Go ahead, I'm all for it. The role you want to arrange-I'll make it happen. She's yours."
Mr. Smith had waited for weeks for this, even making a special trip to Riverside City just for the occasion.
