Coolest Girl in Town

Elise immediately rushed over to massage the few acupuncture points that would help alleviate Garreth’s weakness. Only then did the pained expression slowly fade from his face, although his breathing was still quite labored.

“Is there a need for that? There will always be money to make. Can’t you spare a moment to care for your own body?” Elise couldn’t help but ask.

He weakly stared up at her with half-lidded eyes, but he had no strength to explain.

For the past week, he had been unable to sleep properly. Every day was packed to the brim with job after job that kept him working constantly. Even in between jobs, he still had to focus on memorizing his scripts. There was no personal time at all.

Everyone knew health was important, but his body no longer belonged to him after signing his contract. If he went against the agreement, he would be bankrupt for life.

“Ignore him,” Jenny coldly said, folding her arms before her chest. “He just loves to gain sympathy using this trick. This isn’t his first time. Anyway, he’ll still finish the job afterward. Garreth, get up now, or I’ll be forced to be rude before an outsider.”

Those words dealt a painful blow to Garreth’s dignity. Even though everyone in the industry knew just how bad Jenny could be, he didn’t want Elise, the person he respected and looked up to, to see him cower before such humiliation.

He gritted his teeth and pushed himself to his feet as his knuckles turned a stark white color. He swayed where he stood for a few moments before eventually regaining his balance.

“I’m fine now, Jenny. I can continue,” he said as he forced a smile.

It was evident that Jenny enjoyed the satisfaction of forcing others to do what she wanted as she proudly smiled and bragged, “See? What did I just say? He’s a good kid. He wouldn’t want to cause any trouble for me.”

In Elise’s eyes, how Jenny looked at Garreth was the same as an owner looking at an obedient pet.

Even so, Garreth had to smile through it all, which further satisfied Jenny’s twisted desire to subjugate him.
