Chapter 232: 213. How did the child hide

"It’s stopped, and that’s exactly what it means!"

"CEO Jensen, this project has an investment of fifty million, and is supposed to be our company’s New Year’s blockbuster. We’ve already filmed a third of it. To stop now would mean losing at least 20 million, and besides..."

"If I say stop, then stop! Can’t I, Mario Jensen, afford a mere loss of 20 million?"

Mr. Assistant’s remaining words were cut off by Mario Jensen. Didn’t he know that stopping "Crowned Concubine" would cause losses?

"CEO Jensen..." Zed Peterson hesitated, but in the end, asked, "What about Lina Miller’s future work arrangements?"

He stopped a good show just like that. Did Lina Miller offend Young Master Jensen? It is said that Lina is famous for her aloofness and reputation. Although she has been in the entertainment industry, many people have tried to take advantage of her but failed. His boss wouldn’t have also tried to take advantage of her, and when they failed, became angry and stopped her show, would he?

That doesn’t seem right either. If that were the case, he wouldn’t have asked if anyone in the crew was giving Lina a hard time. Could it be that Lina showed some attitude to CEO Jensen, which is why he asked?

The heart of an assistant is delicate, so he quickly grasps this point and brings up Lina’s arrangements.

"Don’t arrange any work for her from now on; she’ll be on a long-term break!"

When he heard this, Zed Peterson was dumbfounded on the spot! Was this a step towards being hidden away?

"Uh, CEO Jensen, now it’s the end of the year, and there are many programs in need of Miss Lina’s presence. You know that although Jensen is strong, our Film and Television Department has just risen up recently. Even if Lina offended you, now is not the time to hide her away!"

"Who told you I’m going to hide her away?!" Mario Jensen’s face darkened, and his icy voice seemed to jump out between his teeth, "Focus on doing your job, and don’t think of people as crooked as you. Get your mind free of impure thoughts, and concentrate on your work!"

Zed Peterson: "..."

His CEO Jensen was really a genius. He could guess exactly what he was thinking. But that idea of his isn’t vulgar at all, and seeing a beautiful woman, any man would have thoughts. He did too, but all he could do was think about it. Lina was too out of reach for him, but it was different for him. He had the capital and the ideas, and even had the resources to support her; he could even marry her!

With that in mind, Zed still wanted to justify his previous words, but when he tried to say something, he found that the phone on the other side had already hung up.

Since it isn’t about hiding her away, could it be true that their CEO fell in love with her?

That said, he’s excited about what their CEO, who always wears a celibate face and an unapproachable demeanor, would look like when he falls in love with a woman. Considering that, Lina Miller is the only woman in CEO Jensen’s side in so many years, so it seems like there’s a chance!

Mario Jensen hung up the phone and lay in bed, but couldn’t fall asleep for a long time. His mind was full of Lina’s different faces at various times and occasions over the years, finally settling on the most genuine face he saw tonight, with crispy meat, helplessness, and fear filling her pale face.

In these years, he owed her a lot, leaving her alone to shoulder the entire Entertainment Department. Allure International has extended many open and hidden olive branches to her, and she had much better opportunities, but she still stayed with Jensen because of their past relationship.

If she were to pay it back, the amount she has earned for Jensen over these years has been more than enough. It’s time to set her free, and from now on, he will owe her!

Mario Jensen was unable to sleep all night, tossing and turning. Eventually, he gave up trying and got up to prepare breakfast. When Lina woke up, Mario Jensen had already prepared breakfast.

He cooked her millet porridge and her favorite kale, even buying her favorite fresh crispy meat. As she watched him elegantly dressed in a suit and wearing a bib as he emerged from the kitchen, Lina froze and stood in place. Her heart trembled, and her eyes seemed to be lost in a daze, as if she was seeing a scene from her dreams all these years.

From the year she met him, she had begun to fantasize that one day she would see him cook for her and live a simple life together. Every woman has an unforgettable period in her youth, be it an intense love, a heart-rending hurt, or a silent wait for someone to look back. Everyone has their own story.

Her youth has been almost consumed in the secret unrequited love in her heart.

Looking at the man in front of her, Lina’s eyes filled with a shimmer of moisture, and all the emotions suppressed in her heart were stirred by this inadvertent scene. The man she had been infatuated with for so many years seemed to have had her dreams come true, even if it was fleeting, at least she had experienced it!

"What’s wrong? Do I look bad?" Seeing Lina staring at him with a complex expression, Mario Jensen’s eyes widened. He checked his clothes up and down; he didn’t see anything wrong, other than the extra bib.

"No, you look great!"

Lina held back her tears, smiled slightly, and felt her heart ache. Suddenly, she found herself asking, "Fabian, can I hug you?"

As soon as she said those words, Lina realized her intrusion. In Mario Jensen’s eyes, she had always been a polite and clever woman. He had just started being nice to her the day before, and now she was taking it too far. What would he think of her?

An uneasy feeling arose, and just as she was about to explain herself, Mario Jensen was already walking towards her. He untied the bib as he walked and then stood before her. In the next moment, she found herself enveloped in his embrace, her waist grasped and her head pressed against his warm chest. The sudden action left Lina at a loss, but instinctively her hands wound around his muscular waist, and she listened to his strong heartbeat.

"I know you have your own unspoken pain, and not being able to tell me is my failure." Mario Jensen’s deep gaze was fixed on the woman tightly hugging him, and he slowly said, "So, Lina, will you try to believe in me, no matter what pains you have in your heart?"

His words, neither light nor heavy, fell in her ears, just like the promises he made to her back then. She understood and knew that when she joined Jensen’s Entertainment Department, which had just started and had less than ten people, she was the first celebrity to sign up. He had told her to trust him back then.

It was precisely because of the trust that she decided to stay away from him. But Fabian, you never knew how much I loved you. I hid my love from the world, from everyone, even from you, and I loved you for so many years!

Now, it’s not that I’m tired, but I can’t hide it anymore!
