Chapter 1614 Lexie's Favorite Actor
All of the roles where Jessie had been the stunt double received widespread acclaim from fans. They all said that even her
silhouette was ethereal and goddess-like. Many of the actresses who played the lead role would specifically ask for her to be their
stunt double as well.
Jessie took the bottle of water that the crew member held out to her and ducked under the shade to drink it. The weight of the
heavy, veiled hat and many layers of costmade her exhausted.
Just then, an assistant cover and said to her, “Jessie, that’s Miss Mabel’s costume. You better be careful, or you'll have to pay
for ruining it.”
Jessie quickly lifted the hefty skirt and carried it in her arms before nodding. “Don’t worry! I'll be careful.”
Seeing how easy it was to bully Jessie, the assistant added, “If Miss Mabel isn’t pleased with the result, you'll have to shoot the
scene again.”

Jessie nodded. “Yes, | got it.”
The film crew’s catering for their tea break arrived, and a plump young woman snatched two portions before running over to Jessie.
“Here, Jessie. | got one for you.”
Jessie was starving by now. She was requested to start filming before she even finished her lunch, so she was pleased to have a
snack to tide her over.
Although it was only a slice of cake and a carton of milk, it was still enough to keep her stomach sated.
“Jessie, did you hear the news? The award-winning actor, Julian Gilmore is filming somewhere near here! Oh, gosh! I'm so excited. |
have a feeling I'll get to meet him.”
Jessie's eyes lit up as well. “Really? Are you sure?”
“| heard Mabel and her staff talking about it. She's even more excited than we are, and I'm pretty sure her sources are reliable.”
The plump young woman was Lexie Lopez who did odd jobs for the film crew and was good friends with Jessie.
Jessie was the only one on set who didn’t bully Lexie. In fact, Jessie often took care of Lexie, which was why Lexie would help Jessie
out whenever she could.
“Jessie, you've been the stunt double for the female lead so many times now. Why haven't you joined a filming project with Julian
Gilmore? You might even get to act out scenes with him!” Lexie remarked.
Jessie smiled. “I wish | could too, but it's not that easy to join a project with an award-winning actor like him. Projects that hire him
probably wouldn't be interested in an average stunt double like me.”
“I' heard that he’s filming a historical too. Oh, my. I'll get the chance to see him in a dashing, valiant role again! I've been
looking forward to it for so long now!” Lexie exclaimed with a look of infatuation.
There were a few more scenes that required the stunt wire later that afternoon. Once everything was over, Jessie went back to a
tent alone and rolled up her white T-shirt. She took out the ointment she prepared and skillfully rubbed it onto her skin. There were
faint splotches of bruising along her waist that were a result of wearing the stunt wire.
Jessie dozed off during the ride back to the hotel. The van had arrived back at the hotel by the tshe opened her eyes again. It
was a three-star hotel, and she shared a room with Lexie.

After dinner, Lexie grabbed Jessie enthusiastically. “Jessie, Julian Gilmore's car is here! Hurry up. It's just outside the five-star hotel
opposite us. Maybe we'll get to see him!”
“His fans would've already formed a human barricade around him by now. What makes you think we can squeeze past them?” All
Jessie wanted to do was rest.
“Well, we might get lucky. Con! Cwith me! Please, my dearest Jessie.” Lexie tried to coax Jessie into coming with her. She
didn’t think it would be as fun if she went alone.
Jessie couldn't put up a fight against Lexie, so she had no choice but to drag her weary body out the door. The two women crossed
the road to head to the hotel opposite them. Along the way, they saw hordes of screaming fans rushing over as they cried, “Julian
Gilmore! My love!”
After being in the industry for so long, Jessie knew very well just how frenzied fans could get. Julian had won the award for best
actor for four years in a row now. He was the most renowned male celebrity by far, and thus, his fans were even more passionate
than others.
“Look at the crowd, Lexie. We won't get to see him!” Jessie would much rather go back to the room to sleep, but as a huge fan of
Julian, Lexie was not going to give up the opportunity to see her celebrity crush so easily.
