Soone caught her eye and motioned for Hannah to look at Jackie by her side.
Jackie was discussing a future movie with Richard Lee. Hearing the teasing from the crowd, he couldn’t help but look at Hannah beside him.
Although he was sitting next to her, there was almost another person’s distance between them.
Hearing this, Hannah turned her head and t Jackie’s line of vision, "There’s no need for him, I can manage myself."
These words were a bit of a dig at Jackie’s ego.
Everyone looked at him, yet he didn’t look offended. Instead, a smile appeared in his eyes, making him seem more approachable than usual. He was clearly focused on Hannah beside him.
His tone softened, "Alright, I know you’re capable. Just rember that you can count on if you ever need help."
The crowd sensed sothing but did not speak. Nearby, Richard Lee even left his seat to give the young couple so space.
Hannah withdrew her gaze and dove back into the ga. "You talk as if I’m sure to lose."
Jackie just shook his head, leaving her to her ga but his eyes remained on her.
Had it been anyone else, the intense attention from Best Actor Qualls might have been unbearable. But Hannah casually continued playing her ga.
Occasionally, Jackie felt an urge to help her, but Hannah always blocked his hand and gave him a glare. "Don’t ddle, I can handle it."
Even with Hannah’s terse tone, Jackie never lost his temper.
So people started whispering upon seeing them like this.
They were surely gossiping about so secret between Hannah and Jackie.
After all, despite his courteous and gentle deanor, Jackie was regarded by many as unapproachable. This was not only because of his status, but also due to his reserved personality.
And yet, Jackie, who few could get close to, seed to have made an exception for Hannah, a recent entrant in the showbiz.
This made others jealous.
After several rounds, they switched the ga.
The one no one ever tired of, Truth or Dare.
This ga often brought out juicy secrets at the cast’s social gatherings. However, since everyone was part of the showbiz, they kept these revelations within the circle.
The turn ca to Jackie.
Soone boldly asked, "Mr.Qualls, have you ever had real feelings for soone from the drama?"
The event quietened down instantly. Everyone, be it close or far, was watching.
Jackie sat tall in his chair, his facial expression remaining calm representing his gentle deanor which combined with his previous indulgence of Hannah, helped everyone relax.
Everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but sweep back and forth between Hannah and Jackie, expecting an apparent answer.
Resting her cheek on her hand, Hannah lightly tapped on her nearby empty wine glass. She looked slightly tipsy.
Jackie’s gaze fell on her flushed face. A smile brewed in his eyes as he said, "Acting is acting, reality is reality, as an actor I always draw a clear line..."
With this, everyone seed a bit disappointed.
However, they were soon riveted back by his following comnt, "...but many a ti, emotions are out of our control, so..."
"I need to use the restroom." Hannah suddenly got up, interrupting Jackie’s sentence. Everyone turned to look at her.
Assuming she had drunk too much before.
