The moment Jules opened his mouth he realized he did not sound well. He didn't continue. After looking around unconsciously, he sat down, knuckles pressed to his forehead. He took a few deep breathes.

Leon was embarrassed, "What are you doing..."

I..."

Jules gripped his fingers and then loosened them. After calming his mood, Jules opened his mouth in a low voice, "It was when I just started out, for once, I saw you forward a photo of my senior sister for the promotion of the new film..."

Jules continued, "I was so jealous at that time. I decided to work harder, harder, harder! So that someday you will forward my twitter."

Leon's soul was moved.

He remembered Jules once said he was Leon's fan.

Jules looked up at Leon, whispering, "I know it's not for promotion...But, what you just commented on me... they are true words, right?"

Leon smiled, "Purer than gold."

Jules thought for a while, but was still anxious about it. He took out of his cellphone and screenshot Leon's twitter.

Leon silenced for a while, "I will not delete that twitter. Would you please stop saving the evidence in such a hurry like those menacing fans already to set me up?"

On hearing Leon's words, Jules came back to himself. He deleted the screenshot at once. He looked up at Leon who was still standing, Jules sprung up with embarrassment, "Please have a seat..."

Leon glanced at him, sitting at where Jules just sat.

After the initial shock, Jules felt overwhelmed. He sat opposite to Leon carefully, saying with a dry laugh, "May I forward your twitter?"

Leon raised his eyebrow, "For what?"

"To...to express my gratitude." Jules could not think clearly, "Or maybe I shouldn't forward it? I have dreamed of this many times... if someday you post something about me, how would I respond? Should I write it down? You determine which the most appropriate one is?"

Leon tittered, "Why are you so panic. Just ignore it."

Leon took one-step ahead and said, "It's not for you. I was on edge. If I didn't vent my anger, I would be boiling."

Jules did not feel embarrassed on hearing Leon's word, instead, he replied sincerely, "But you did help me. I really, really appreciate it."

Leon arched an eyebrow, teasing Jules, "Appreciate? To what extent?"

Jules was stunned at first, and then tried his best to bite the words back —— he intended to say "I would devote my life to you". Instead, he said, "You.. you can ask me to say anything."

Leon could not help laughing at these words. When he was about to make fun of Jules, the doorbell rang.

"Maybe it's Willet." Jules stood up, "I'll open the door..."

It was not Willet, but Vivian who seemed in a dilemma.

Jules let her in and Vivian gave him a hollow smile as greeting. She hurried up to Leon with the cellphone in her hand, "It's from Angela..."

"You..." Leon gave a straight look at Vivian, saying in a low and sulky voice, "I have told you I am busy with the shoot!"

Vivian covered the receiver with her hands, in a cleft stick, hurriedly saying in low voice, "She won't hang up if you don't answer the call, and I'm not allowed to hang up either."

"This trick again..."

Leon knew he could not avoid this. Angela would be really upset if he kept ignoring her.

Leon glanced at Jules, lest he could hear Angela scolding him. He took over the cellphone and headed towards the window.

Leon cleared his throat, holding the cellphone against his ear, and saying, "I was shooting just now, what..."

"Don't play petty tricks anymore." Angela slowly stressed each syllable with subdued anger, "Do you think I am not busy enough these days?"

Leon smiled, "No,no,no. I wish you would always be relaxed and happy..."

"Save it!" Angela was angry. "What did you promise me just now? Good job, Leon. First, you had me under control, then look at the big news you made! Sometimes I really suspect you're the undercover agent sent by our competitors, to screw us! You..."

Leon listened to Angela raking up the past with his thoughts far away. After a while, Leon was so distracted by Angela's lectures that he frowned, "Then what did you expect me to do? You asked me to do nothing. Tripp gave a shit about it. I intended to turn to the promotion department, but the fucking  crew didn't even have this department! All of you left me alone! What can I do then!"

Angela was completely astonished, "Because no one is in charge, then you can do anything you want? And you do have the audacity to argue with me? You..."

"I'm not arguing with you." Leon softened his tone, sighing, "Believe it or not, I didn't do it on purpose."

"I believe you." Restraining herself, Angela answered in a hushed voice, "Nice try."

Leon burst out laughing, "It's true. If it were not for Super Entertainment tweeting again, I would have let everything go. I didn't act on impulse..."

"The Super Entertainment tweet crossed the line this time." Leon sneered, "They slandered me that I fell in love with Zane!."

Angela was surprised.

Leon said with a lethargic smile, "Angela, are you planning to declare that I am still single to the public now?"

"Yes..."Angela stammered, "I was too angry and I forgot about it. Yes, we can take this opportunity to make the declaration."

Due to Tracy's face and the result of the box office, Angela turned a blind eye to Leon's gossip, leaving Tracy's team with a chance to hype themselves. However, the Super Entertainment thing was in the line of fire, so she could take this chance.

Leon smiled, "Alright, then, do your work now. Don't waste your precious time on me."

Angela hung up the phone after scolding Leon again for his revenge.
