Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

The next day dawned bright and sunny, and Jane got up early.

After a few days of rest, her allergies were completely gone.

Jane descended the stairs and saw Patrick busy in the kitchen, preparing breakfast.

Walking over, she asked, “Where’s Amy?”

“Took the day off,” Patrick replied nonchalantly.

Jane glanced at Patrick. “I’ll take over.”

Although Jane wasn’t bad at cooking, she rarely did it herself. After all, Patrick had made breakfast for her several times, and she had never cooked once.

“Can you?” Patrick’s tone carried a hint of skepticism.

He had never seen Jane cook before.

“Of course,” Jane lifted the corner of her lips, confidently saying, “Not only can I, but I’m also quite skilled.”

“Is that so?” Patrick chuckled. “Next time, then. Let me taste your skills next time.”

After a pause, he pushed Jane out of the kitchen, his tone unusually indulgent. “It’s smoky here; wait for me in the dining room.”

Jane felt a warmth in her heart.

During breakfast, Osborn called Jane.

Just as Jane was about to answer, Patrick preemptively took her phone.

“What are you doing? Give it back to me!” Jane rolled her eyes at Patrick.

But Patrick paid no attention to her, answered the call, and said coldly, “I’ll take Jane to the set; you don’t need to worry.”

Without waiting for Osborn’s reaction, he hung up.

“You’re overbearing, Patrick. How can you answer my phone casually?” Jane was speechless.

Patrick gave her a sidelong glance. “What’s wrong? Can’t bear to part with Osborn?”

Jane: ???

Patrick insisted on taking Jane to the set, and she could only let him.

“Alright, just drop me off here. Hurry back to Pansy Group for work,” Jane said as she got out of the car. Seeing Patrick still wanting to follow her, she quickly spoke.

Just as Jane was about to turn and leave, Patrick grabbed her.

Looking down at her from above, he asked coldly, “Can’t you really skip filming?”

Jane was somewhat speechless. At this point, why was he asking such questions?

“Of course not. Patrick, when did you become so talkative?” Jane glared at Patrick.

Patrick hooked his lips, lowered his head to her ear, and his low, hoarse voice sounded, “I’m worried about you.”

After all, they hadn’t found the person hiding in the shadows trying to harm Jane.

He was uneasy.

“I’m fine. Go quickly!” Jane said and forcefully pushed Patrick back into the car.

The road was already a bit congested, and with Patrick’s delay, Jane arrived at the set in a hurry, running late.

“Jane, you’re here?” Osborn immediately greeted her.

Originally, he was supposed to pick up Jane this morning. Jane had agreed yesterday, but when he confirmed with her again this morning, Patrick answered the phone.

Just now, he saw Patrick bringing Jane here.

Osborn felt a bit uncomfortable. In Jane’s heart, he seemed to have no place at all.

“Yeah,” Jane responded lightly, looked around, and saw that the actors and director had all gathered.

At that moment, a sudden voice rang out, “Miss North, late on the first day of filming?”

Jane furrowed her brows, followed the sound, and saw Tina accusing her.

Tina was a popular actress under Star Entertainment and also the female lead in the new drama.

In recent years, Tina’s popularity had been soaring, making her one of the top actresses. This year, she even won the Best Actress award at the Golden Horse Awards.

Tina had a crush on Osborn, and this was no secret in the industry. There had even been rumors about them.

After all, both of them were A-list movie stars, often cast as a couple, and they seemed perfectly matched.

In reality, Tina fell for Osborn at first sight.

Back when she was a newcomer, Osborn was already a popular movie king.

She pursued Osborn’s footsteps all the way, finally reaching a point where she could be compared to him. Even the media often referred to them as a golden couple, naturally suited for each other.

However, Osborn only saw her as a partner, nothing more.

Previously, she believed Osborn was solely focused on his career. She thought that if she persisted, with sincerity, she could move Osborn.

But Tina never expected that Osborn already had a woman he deeply loved.

That woman was Jane.

Therefore, when Tina saw Jane today, she couldn’t contain her jealousy.

Even if Jane was the CEO of Star Entertainment, so what?

Wasn’t she cast as the third lead in the new drama because of her status?

Otherwise, how could someone like Jane, who had never acted before, get such a role?

Jane sensed Tina’s hostility and furrowed her brows.

Tina was the leading actress under Star Entertainment, and Jane had always held high hopes for her.

She didn’t know where Tina’s hostility toward her came from.

Facing Tina’s accusations, Jane smiled, “Sorry, traffic was bad. Apologies for the delay.”

“But, Miss North, you’re the big boss. We wait for you; it’s only natural,” Tina raised her hand to check the time, her tone tinged with sarcasm. “If it were someone else wasting so much of my time, I would demand the director to replace them.”

“Tina, it’s Jane’s first time on set. She’s not familiar with the route. It’s normal to be a bit late. Besides, it’s only five minutes,” Osborn stepped forward, coming to Jane’s defense.

“Let’s start as soon as possible!” Osborn urged again.

After changing into her costume and applying makeup, Jane walked out of the dressing room, instantly stunning everyone.

She wore a white plum blossom water-sleeved gown that highlighted her noble temperament and exquisite figure.

With delicate eyebrows and a pair of plum-shaped earrings hanging from her ears, her jet-black hair was tied up with a golden hairpin into a delicate willow leaf, fresh yet charming, noble and elegant, like a fairy walking out of a painting.

In that moment when Osborn saw Jane, his gaze was filled with astonishment and admiration.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

He knew Jane was beautiful, but he didn’t expect that Jane in ancient costume would have a different and charming beauty, making it hard for him to look away.

Meanwhile, Tina was filled with jealousy.

She had always been proud of her beauty, but unexpectedly, Jane, a guest actress playing the third lead, effortlessly outshone her, the female lead.

“Let’s begin,” the director was Larry Hobbes, Star Entertainment’s chief director, young and promising, known for many popular works that were loved by the audience.
