Chapter 263 Jessica, who actively seeks out women
In November, Los Angeles finally shed the sweltering heat of midsummer, and a touch of coolness, like a mischievous sprite, quietly crept into every corner of the city.
As Jessica stepped gracefully out of the black sedan in her high heels, a gust of cold wind seemed to have been premeditated, causing her to instinctively wrap her exquisite trench coat tighter around herself.
"Woof woof!" Two crisp and energetic barks broke the brief silence.
Two plump dogs, as if seeing long-lost relatives, happily darted over from the distant lawn, running as if afraid of missing something if they were even a second too slow.
When Jessica saw the two little ones, her face instantly lit up with a bright smile, a smile as warm as the winter sun, dispelling the chill around her.
She slowly squatted down, gently stroking the two dogs' heads, her tone full of affection, "I've really not spoiled you two little guys for nothing, you still remember me."
It's safe to say that Ernst's two dogs live a life that would make many humans drool with envy.
Almost every woman around Ernst doted on the two little ones and never mistreated them.
Whether it's delicious snacks, all kinds of beautiful clothes, or novel and interesting toys, there's never a shortage of supplies.
The toys piled up in their doghouses take up more space than the bedroom of an average office worker.
If dogs had social media, these two little guys would probably be able to post about their daily lives every day.
Just as Jessica was having a great time interacting with the dogs, Ernst walked over from a short distance away.
His gaze swept across the scene, and when he saw the man getting out of the passenger seat, his previously calm brows furrowed noticeably.
Faced with the man's fawning smile, Ernst showed no friendliness whatsoever. Instead, his tone was as cold as ice in winter: "If there's nothing else, you'd better leave now."
Upon hearing this, the man's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his fawning demeanor, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
He maintained a smile despite Ernst's cold expression, bowed and scraped a few times, then hurriedly turned and got into the car, his movements so swift as if he were afraid that staying even a second longer would lead to something bad happening.
After the car started, it quickly disappeared from sight, as if it had never existed.
Watching the car drive away, Jessica muttered somewhat discontentedly, "Couldn't you be nicer to Leonard? He didn't do anything wrong."
Ernst curled his lip in disdain, his tone tinged with a hint of disgust. "I'm already being lenient by not having him thrown out directly."
Linussen was the effeminate man who had pleaded for Jessica. He was somewhat well-known in the industry, but what was most memorable about him was his signature orchid finger gesture, which exuded a feminine softness unlike that of ordinary men.
Ernst, a bisexual and gay man, has seen plenty of people in Hollywood. After all, in Hollywood, a mixed and open-minded circle, such people are everywhere and it's nothing new.
In Ernst's view, at least those people seemed normal on the surface, and their words and actions did not seem too abrupt.
As for Nathan, his more womanly demeanor than any woman made Ernst feel uncomfortable every time he saw him, even experiencing some physical discomfort.
"Speaking of which, has he been through something lately? He seems to be acting even stranger," Ernst suddenly said, his tone tinged with doubt.
Jessica reached into Rottweil's mouth, took the ball from its mouth, and threw it forcefully into the distance. Watching the dog chase after the ball, she stood up and asked curiously, "Why would you say that?"
Ernst's gaze remained fixed on the direction the car had left, and he slowly said, "Even though he used to have delicate hand gestures, wear earrings, and light makeup, at least you could still tell he was a man."
"But look at him today. His clothes have become more androgynous, even somewhat feminine. He's also wearing heavy makeup, and the way he's standing is so limp, like his bones are about to fall apart. He looks like a delicate lady from the Middle Ages."
Hearing what Ernst said, Jessica was stunned for a moment and began to recall how he had come to Nathan earlier. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really as Ernst said.
But when exactly did Nathan begin to change? Jessica tried hard to search her memory, but she couldn't recall the exact time.
She shook her head. Who cares? He's just an agent anyway. As long as it doesn't affect her, she can do whatever he wants.
"By the way, where's Catherine? I haven't seen her." Jessica changed the subject and asked about Catherine's whereabouts.
When Catherine was mentioned, Ernst's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze becoming somewhat profound, and he did not reply immediately.
He saw the dog come running back happily with the ball in its mouth, so he reached out and took the ball from the two dogs, saying, "Alright, that's enough playing for today. You two go play in the yard by yourselves, but don't run around."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the villa. Jessica, who was following behind, looked at Ernst's unusual behavior and did not understand what he meant. She silently followed him inside.
Upon entering the villa, Ernst was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking quite relaxed.
Liu Huiying carried over two steaming cups of coffee, placed them on the coffee table in front of the two of them, and politely greeted Jessica, "Miss Jessica, it's been a long time."
Jessica smiled and nodded in response.
As soon as she entered the villa, the warm air inside made her feel a wave of heat, so she took off her beige trench coat, revealing her cool and breezy outfit underneath.
She wore a simple and cute cartoon casual T-shirt on top and denim shorts on the bottom. Her long, fair legs were tightly wrapped in black stockings, outlining an alluring curve.
Paired with a pair of exquisite high heels, her already slender figure appeared even taller, radiating a youthful, beautiful, and sexy charm.
Ernst's gaze fell on Jessica, his eyes carrying a hint of mockery.
Jessica felt his gaze, a fawning smile spreading across her face. She snuggled into his arms, her voice slightly coquettish as she asked, "What's wrong? Did I do something wrong that upset you?"
Ernst didn't say anything, but simply raised his large hand and slapped Jessica's petite, upturned buttocks hard.
With a soft "snap," Jessica groaned in pain, her body trembling slightly.
Ernst's voice carried a hint of seriousness. "Who gave you the idea to do these underhanded things?"
"What? I don't understand what you're talking about." Jessica feigned innocence and ignorance, her eyes darting around, trying to bluff her way out.
However, her rather clumsy acting skills were no match for Ernst, and she saw right through him.
Ernst's lips curled into a wicked smile, his tone laced with a hint of threat. "Lying isn't a good habit. You should know the consequences of lying, right? Don't forget, the toy horse has plenty of power. If you let it serve you, you'll be in for a world of hurt."
Upon hearing the words "toy horse," Jessica's face instantly flushed red, and images of being punished by the toy horse uncontrollably flashed through her mind.
Thinking of this, Jessica dared not hide it any longer and quickly confessed, "It was Nathan, he made me do it."
Ernst's eyes narrowed instantly. "What did he tell you? Tell me the whole story, without hiding anything."
Jessica knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she told the whole story: "Catherine came to me and said she was in some trouble and wanted me to help her out, to see if I could put in a good word for her with you."
"Later, Nathan found out about this and gave me this idea, saying that only by doing this could I make you never forget me, always remember my kindness, and also help Catherine. I didn't think much of it at the time, and thought what he said made some sense, so I did it."
After hearing Jessica's words, Ernst's doubts were finally resolved, and he relaxed considerably.
As long as no one has ulterior motives towards him, Ernst can accept this small matter, and it can even be said that he can accept it very well.
"By the way, I just asked, where is Catherine? I haven't seen her at all." Jessica pressed for more information about Catherine's whereabouts, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Ernst looked at Jessica, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "You're already looking for other women for your man, how could I possibly let you down? Don't worry, she's doing fine now."
Thinking of Catherine Zeta-Jones's voluptuous and alluring figure, and her unique charm, Ernst unconsciously licked his lips, secretly marveling: What a perfect beauty.
In Ernst's view, the best way to praise such a beauty is to immerse her in pleasure until she can no longer get out of bed.
In truth, Jessica was merely a matchmaker in this whole affair; to put it bluntly, she was a pimp.
The relationship between this woman, widely regarded as the most beautiful woman elected by the British public, and Ernst was, frankly speaking, nothing more than a mutually beneficial transaction.
She showed extraordinary talent from a young age, possessing great potential in both appearance and performance.
Unfortunately, most of the films she starred in after her debut were critical and commercial failures, and she never gained much attention.
It wasn't until she starred in "Flowers of May" that she finally gained some recognition for her outstanding performance, which led to an invitation from Hollywood and the start of her acting career there.
However, in Hollywood, a world teeming with talent and fiercely competitive, without a strong background and sufficient status, outstanding beauty is sometimes not an advantage, but rather a sin, attracting countless unnecessary troubles and covetous eyes.
In the past, she could choose to refuse unreasonable demands and harassment, but now, the man who has his eye on her is a Hollywood star's son, whose father has been named one of the greatest movie actors of the past century.
In Hollywood, such acting families wield enormous influence, making them far beyond the reach of a small-time actress like her with no connections.
Under immense pressure, Catherine Zeta-Jones recalled the rumors circulating in the company about the man behind Jessica, Ernst.
She knew very well that relying on Ernst was the best option to gain a foothold in Hollywood and get out of her current predicament.
To gain Ernst's help, some price must be paid.
If you're going to sell, you should sell it for a good price and get what you want, instead of being played with for nothing.
So she began to approach Jessica. Although there was a twelve-year age gap between them and a generation gap, they surprisingly got along very well and quickly became friends.
As their relationship grew closer, Catherine Zeta-Jones finally confided in Jessica about her difficulties, asking if she could help her and hoping that Jessica could put in a good word for her with Ernst to resolve her career problems.
For Ernst, the problems Catherine encountered were indeed a matter of a single sentence, nothing to worry about.
During the year she spent with Ernst, apart from Ernst occasionally being a bit irritable and rude in bed, Jessica did not feel like she was just a plaything he could summon at his beck and call.
On the contrary, she quite enjoyed her relationship with Ernst. It felt like being in a romantic relationship, warm and sweet. The only downside was that her boyfriend had many girlfriends and was always surrounded by different women.
Jessica thought that Ernst would agree to help Catherine with this small favor, so she readily agreed and said she would ask Ernst for Zeta Jones.
When Leonard found out about this, he acted as a go-between and came up with the plan to make Jessica stand out in front of Ernst.
All I can say is that this effeminate guy, Nathan, although he seems a bit strange usually, is actually quite skilled at understanding people's hearts.
He knew Ernst's preferences well and knew that he would most likely not refuse a great beauty like Catherine. And once Ernst and Catherine had a relationship, he would definitely be willing to help Catherine with this small favor.
"You didn't use that rocking horse on Catherine, did you?" It was already past noon, but Catherine still hadn't appeared, so Jessica couldn't help but wonder and asked with some concern.
Ernst shook his head upon hearing Jessica's words, and said in a relaxed tone, "No, why would I use something like that on her?"
Upon hearing this, Jessica instantly breathed a sigh of relief, her worries lessened considerably, and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
But before her smile could fully open, Ernst's next words made her eyes widen again.
Ernst said slowly, "However, I guess she's still resting in her room this morning during her morning exercise, too tired to get up."
