Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 392 - 391: Mr. Xi Is Still Jealous

In the darkness of night, two figures leaned against each other, and the surroundings seemed so quiet that there was no sound, as if even the air had come to a halt at this moment.

Mia Sutton couldn’t see Jensen Sterling’s expression, so she didn’t know what Jensen was thinking.

Jensen Sterling’s head lightly rested on Mia Sutton’s shoulder, and in the night, his deep eyes were filled with darkness, like a lone wolf in the night who had spotted its prey, determined to capture it and bring it back to its den. It was incredibly dangerous.

If anyone tries to take it away...

...

About an hour earlier in the private room, people from the two crews were gathered, playing together.

To be honest, Mia Sutton was the kind of person who could get along with anyone, making everyone feel comfortable. Nobody would dislike her.

In attendance were several male actors from Director Lawson’s crew, and one of them clearly had feelings for Mia Sutton.

The kind of feelings that indicated he wanted to develop things further.

He was noticeably attentive towards Mia Sutton, but his actions weren’t deliberate, appearing instead as gentlemanly gestures to take care of a woman.

For instance, when there was a dish Mia Sutton wanted to eat that was too far away, he would move it in front of her. Of course, he did the same for other women too.

However, with Mia Sutton, his tone was gentler, and his smile was wider.

Jensen Sterling’s eyes were calm as he noticed this, putting down the chopsticks he had just picked up.

He leaned back into his chair, watching the male actor with an amused expression.

After a moment, he turned his head to ask Mia Sutton, "Do you like this dish?"

When Mia Sutton heard Jensen Sterling ask, she casually replied, "No, I actually wanted the dish next to it, but it was too far, so I let it go."

Jensen Sterling chuckled softly, lowering his eyes to glance at the dish that had been placed nearby. Then, he naturally reached over, bypassed it, and picked up the dish Mia Sutton wanted, placing it on her plate.

Seeing this, Mia Sutton smiled sweetly with her eyes curved and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sterling."

She then picked it up and ate it right away.

At the dining table, everyone was chatting, and it was lively, with hardly anyone noticing this scene.

Mia Sutton was busy eating the dish Jensen Sterling had given her, unaware of the silent exchange of glances between Jensen Sterling and that actor.

Jensen Sterling said nothing but lifted his eyes, looking at that actor with a faint gaze. After a few seconds... the actor pulled his lips into a smile as if nothing had happened.

After they finished eating, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a voice filled with a mischievous smile came through: "Director Jacobs, sorry for being late."

Everyone turned to look towards the direction of the voice, and standing at the entrance was someone holding a jacket—Nolan Sinclair.

The moment Nolan Sinclair pushed the door open, he was slightly taken aback, not expecting there to be others in the private room.

But he quickly regained his composure, putting on a smile: "Did I enter the wrong room?"

Finn Jacobs quickly said, "No, you’re in the right place. When Director Lawson’s crew arrived, there were no more rooms, so I invited them to join us for a livelier gathering, right?"

The group of people playing happily behind them shouted in unison, "Right."

Nolan Sinclair chuckled twice and agreed, "The more, the merrier."

Finn Jacobs replied, "But you’re late, and there’s no food left."

Nolan Sinclair raised an eyebrow: "That’s perfect. I’m not hungry anyway."

"That works, then. Come on in, why are you standing at the door?" he said while beckoning Nolan Sinclair to come inside.

Although Nolan Sinclair wasn’t an actor from their crew, he sang the opening and insert songs, so it was natural to invite him to the crew’s gathering.

Once inside, Nolan Sinclair saw Jensen Sterling sitting to one side, his legs crossed, and their eyes met.

After two seconds, Nolan Sinclair walked over and sat on a single sofa at the side, smiling, "Congratulations on winning another award."

Jensen Sterling replied, "Thank you."

Their conversation was not extensive, and after exchanging a few words, it ended there.

Jensen Sterling sat on the side, watching Mia Sutton play. The young girl had her eyes curved into smiles while sitting beside the leading actress from Director Lawson’s crew, who quickly took a liking to Mia Sutton.

She kept her engaged in the games.

After one round, a girl nudged Mia Sutton and whispered, "Mia, how about you invite Mr. Sterling to join us for a game?"

Mia Sutton paused and pointed to herself with her fingertip: "Me?"

"Of course, you’re in the same crew and company as Mr. Sterling. He would definitely give you face."

"You saw, we’ve tried inviting him, but it didn’t work, right?"

Before they started playing this game, someone had asked Jensen Sterling, but he wasn’t interested and didn’t join.

"Besides... doesn’t Mr. Sterling sitting there watching us play look just like a teacher supervising us?... Like the dean from school."

After saying this, she mumbled softly, "Although the dean isn’t this handsome."

But the vibe indeed felt similar.

Upon hearing this, Mia Sutton slowly turned her head towards Jensen Sterling’s direction. Sure enough, the man was sitting there, his back fully resting against the sofa, legs crossed. He hadn’t worn his gold-rimmed glasses, which hung from a chain on his chest, adding to his charm.

The actress tugged on Mia Sutton’s arm, saying, "Please, just give it a try. If it doesn’t work, you can come back, right?"

Mia Sutton looked up and indeed saw several people’s eyes on her, and she sighed inwardly.

"Alright, I’ll go."

Though she said this, Mia Sutton felt Jensen Sterling was really uninterested in these things, so he likely wouldn’t join them.

"Okay, you go. Wait... bring some wine, it’ll make it easier to persuade him." With that, they didn’t leave her a choice and placed a wine glass in Mia Sutton’s hand.

Mia Sutton had no option but to take the wine glass and walk over.

On the sofa, Jensen Sterling watched as the young girl slowly walked towards him, with many people behind her, including the actor who had shown her interest.

But in Jensen Sterling’s eyes, those people seemed merely like the background.

When she got close, Mia Sutton stopped and asked, "Mr. Sterling, would you like to come and play games with us?"

Jensen Sterling didn’t speak for a while, looking at her. Two seconds later, he suddenly smiled, his lips curving gently, bewitching everyone.

Then he reached out, palm up, curling his fingers slightly.

Mia Sutton hesitated for a moment but still walked over to Jensen Sterling.

"Standing so far away?"

Mia Sutton saw that there was hardly a step between them, resignedly stepping forward until her toes touched his.

Jensen Sterling was still smiling, motioning for her to bend down, then knocked the fingers on the wine glass she was holding twice: "Did they make you come and find me, little girlfriend?"

"Why haven’t you handed me the wine, hmm?"
