Never Too Far Novel
Chapter 1351-1360
“Queenie’s with Nigel.” Julian glanced over at the couple to point them out to Jessie.
She nodded at once. “Oh! I see her. Thanks.”
He stood there with a glass of wine in his hand, his eyes staring straight at her. The chandelier above them reflected in his eyes and made them sparkle like the stars in galaxies.
What a pair of bewitching eyes. Jessie had felt pretty confident about herself thanks to her makeover, but she quickly lost it all under his gaze. She was afraid that he wouldn’t find her attractive.
However, to her absolute surprise, Julian commented, “You look very beautiful tonight.”
She became bashful at his praise and returned him a compliment as well. “You look very handsome too, Mr. Gilmore!”
“Don’t call me Mr. Gilmore. You can just call me Julian.”
“Okay!” Jessie nodded in agreement. She didn’t mind the new way of addressing him at all.
Just then, two young women came over. “Oh my goodness! It’s Julian Gilmore!”
The two young women were thrilled! They never thought they’d run into their celebrity crush while attending a dinner party with their parents. It was such a surprise to see him at the event.
These two young women were Jessie’s cousins, who were distant relatives of the Silversteins, and at this very moment, no one could miss just how ecstatic they were.
Jessie stepped aside and allowed the two fans to talk to Julian upon noticing that.
Since they were related to the family, she wanted to let them have a good time tonight.
However, Julian was a little annoyed by the two young women’s exuberance. He raised his hand and addressed them politely, “Please excuse me. I have something to discuss with Miss Silverstein.”
Then, he came over to Jessie and took her by the hand before ushering her off with him. She was stunned, and her cheeks were aflame as she stared disbelievingly at their entwined hands.
He led her to a private lounge. Once he closed the door behind them, he sighed. “This is why I don’t like going out much. The fans are too noisy.”
“What about me? Do you find me noisy too?” Jessie teased as she recalled joining his fans in welcoming him at the airport some time ago.
Julian cocked his eyebrows. “Are you a fan of mine?”
“Yeah, I’m your fan.” She nodded in all seriousness. Although she wasn’t one of the more passionate fans, he was the only young actor she admired in the industry, apart from all the older, more experienced actors.
He smiled. “Tell me what it feels like to succeed as a fan, then!”
She chuckled. “It’s amazing. I get to eat dinner and have a conversation with my favorite celebrity. It’s like a dream come true.”
“Alright, alright. You should go back to your guests,” he said. He didn’t want to take up all of her time tonight. She was the star of the show, after all.
Jessie nodded and went off. Now that he was here, she no longer felt disappointed.
Julian’s phone started ringing then. “Hello?”
“Julian, Eva Duncan’s schedule is full, so the production team has decided to find someone else to play the female lead. Do you have anyone you want to recommend?” It was a call from Marlon Warner, who was part of the production team for his latest filming project.
Julian’s eyes flickered in thought for a moment before his lips curved into a smile. “Hold off on selecting someone for the female lead first.”
“Why? Do you have someone to recommend? Tell me who it is! I’ll check and see if she’s available.”
“I know she’s available.”
“How can you be sure? We have only just decided to change the actress!”
“Either way, I’ll handle filling the role of the female lead. You guys can continue with the pre-production preparations,” Julian drawled.
“Alright! We’re looking forward to seeing whom you’ve chosen for the female lead. I’m sure you won’t let us down!”
Julian’s eyes flickered in amusement. No, you’ll all be disappointed, but it doesn’t matter as long as I’m not disappointed.
At this very moment, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar as many actresses heard the news and wanted to take the role of the leading lady opposite Julian. However, they were not going to get their chance.
Julian had chosen his leading lady—Jessie, who had yet to make her debut.
Once all the guests arrived, the first item on the agenda was Brandon’s announcement that his youngest daughter had been found. Jessie went up on stage accompanied by her older sister, and the guests were shocked by the sight of the happily reunited family.
Everyone in the crowd was thinking the same thing. They’re twins, alright! They look exactly the same.
Many of the young men in the crowd were beginning to get ideas. The Silversteins’ fortune was going to go to the two sisters in the future, so if they became the Silversteins’ son-in-law, they would get to take possession of half of the family’s fortune!
Nigel and Julian were leaning against a pillar by the stage. They each had a glass of wine in their hands as they gazed at the pair of gorgeous young women up on the stage. Then, Nigel’s sharp hearing picked up on the words coming from a young man. “Wow! I think the elder Miss Silverstein has inherited the company. I’m sure I can easily sign a deal with Silverstein Enterprise if I manage to woo her.”
Nigel smirked at that. He walked over to that man and tapped him on the shoulder. The man was startled and turned around to see a tall, handsome man behind him. “Yes?”
“I’m just here to give you a friendly reminder. The elder Miss Silverstein is my fiancée. You’ll have to be careful if you try to get any ideas about her.” Nigel’s sharp gaze paired well with his warning tone.
The man started apologizing awkwardly, “I’m so sorry. I was just blabbing. I didn’t mean any of it.”
With that, he quickly fled with his friends.
It was hard for the guests to tell the two young women on stage apart, but for those who took the time to understand them, it wasn’t hard at all.
Nigel and Julian could both easily tell them apart with just one look.
With the crowd acting as the witnesses to Jessie’s return to the family, the Silversteins shared a group hug, and the crowd rang out in applause at the sight of the heart-warming family reunion.
Jessie’s eyes were red as she hugged her mother close. Brandon patted her on the shoulder, whereas Queenie reached out to hug her sister as well.
“Dig in, everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful time tonight!” Brandon addressed the crowd cheerfully.
Applause thundered out once more, and soon, the guests started coming over to congratulate the Silverstein couple. The Manson couple was among them. As future in-laws, they were genuinely happy for the Silversteins too.
Queenie brought Jessie over to the two men, who were still standing by the pillar. Jessie was a little red-faced as she glanced at Julian.
“I have a gift for you, Miss Jessie Silverstein,” Julian declared.
She blinked. “That’s not necessary at all, Mr. Gilmore. I’m already honored that you came. I can’t accept a gift from you.”
“No, you must accept this gift,” he insisted.
Nigel and Queenie were both waiting to see what the gift was. Jessie was a little embarrassed. “What do you wish to give me, Mr. Gilmore?”
“Eva Duncan isn’t free to play the female lead in my upcoming drama. The production team wants me to recommend someone. I’m recommending you.”
“What?!” Jessie was dumbstruck and covered her mouth in shock. Me?!
He wants me to play the female lead in his upcoming drama? How can I possibly do that?! This gift is too much.
“Jessie, don’t let his kindness go to waste. I’m sure you can do a great job,” Nigel said.
“That’s right, Jessie. You have all of us supporting you. I’m sure you’ll become a successful actress with Julian helping you with your debut.” Queenie was pleased on Jessie’s behalf. Seems to me that Julian really is taking good care of Jessie! This was great news to her as she hoped that Jessie would get together with Julian in the future.
Jessie was red from all her excitement. She glanced at Queenie before turning to Julian and said gratefully, “Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Mr. Gilmore. I won’t let you down.”
“Jessie, why don’t you toast Julian?” Queenie suggested with a smile.
Jessie quickly took a glass of red wine from the server and said bashfully, “Here’s a toast to you, Mr. Gilmore.”
Julian raised his glass and tapped it against Jessie’s. As soon as she finished the glass, Maggie came over to get her. She wanted to introduce Jessie to the guests. Queenie and Nigel went over to the restaurant, and a few more young women quickly crowded around Julian. Even a few older ladies came over to ask if he was married. They were keen to introduce their daughters to him!
He was somewhat exasperated, but he remained pleasant and amiable the whole time.
At the restaurant, Nigel and Queenie sat down at a table after filling their plates. As they took in the view of the night sky, Queenie exhaled in joy. “We’ve finally reunited.”
“That means we have time to consider our future now.” Nigel stared at her with his dark, affectionate eyes.
