BXBX NOVEL Chapter 155
“Come in,” Jessica asked the person standing outside.
“Is someone important joining us?” Alex whispered to Jessica, but all he got was an assuring smile.
Soon the door opened, and a pretty young girl, wearing a light blue shirt and tight black skirt, walked inside.
Hearing the tapping of high heels, Alex turned to look at who had just walked in, but his eyes stuck on those smooth white legs, and he couldn’t look up.
“Phweeewe...” Alex could not stop himself from whistling, staring at those legs. Staring at those legs, Alex followed the lady who finally stopped in front of him. Soon his gaze moved from her legs to her skirt, then to her blue shirt, where he stopped.
“Ahemm... Ahem...” Alex heard Jessica clear her throat, and his gaze moved further up. Now there was a beauty glaring at him with squinting eyes. Looks like the whistling did no good. Alex gave her an awkward smile, trying to dissuade the uncomfortable atmosphere.
.....
Jessica smiled, looking at the two exchange looks, “Alex, this is Rebecca, my sister... She is going to represent Theation going forward in the project.” Jessica introduced Rebecca. Then she eyed Rebecca to greet Alex.
Rebecca, on the other hand, looked reluctantly at Jessica. Her first impression of Alex was not that good. His eyes always stopped at places they shouldn’t have, which made her feel cringe. Jessica also saw that,
but maybe she now knew Alex more, or there was a completely different reason, but she chose to ignore it.
Not able to persuade her sister, Rebecca extended her hand toward Alex unwillingly for a handshake, “Hi, Nice to meet you... I have heard so much about you,” Rebecca said, putting up a fake smile.
Alex, still staring at Rebecca’s face thinking about something, also reached out for the handshake, “I think I have seen you somewhere,” Alex suddenly said, “Do you... Do you have an onlyFans?” Alex asked out of nowhere and caught both Jessica and Rebecca by surprise.
“What?” Now Rebecca was fuming in anger. On the behest of her sister, she had already tried to put up with Alex and his weird antics, but now he had crossed his limits. Asking her if she had an onlyFans? How can he ask this to her when they are meeting for the first time?
Alex hurriedly waved her hands, noticing the anger on Rebecca’s face. He turned toward Jessica and said, “Don’t get me wrong. I genuinely feel like I have seen her somewhere. I don’t think I have met her anywhere, but I have definitely seen her somewhere... What am I even saying... Don’t worry. It might take some time, but I will definitely remember it.” Alex said.
“You...” Rebecca could not believe the guts of this guy. He was still not saying he was sorry.
“Calm down... Calm down,” Jessica hurriedly left her chair and grabbed hold of Rebecca before she cracked his skull.
“... C’mon, use your brain... He is joking with you,” Jessica tried to make Rebecca understand. But when Jessica and Rebecca looked at Alex, he innocently shook his head in denial.
“See... This rasc...” Rebecca was about to curse, but Jessica covered her mouth with her palm.
“You know a lot about onlyFans,” Jessica asked, trying to hold back Rebecca, “You must be a regular to the site.”
“It’s all about promoting new, young and beautiful talent,” Alex said passionately, “We need to water the plant for the buds to bloom. I am just an insignificant but humble part of it.”
But Jessica and Rebecca could not understand the deep emotions behind Alex’s words. They looked at him, making faces before Rebecca said, “Aren’t you just a dog in heat, wagging your tail as they shake their butts?”
Alex heard Jessica but did not say anything. Instead, he leaned to his side and peeked behind Rebecca before shaking his head, “I know where you are coming from. The likes of you won’t understand the art behind it. More so, you don’t have the tools to learn them.” Alex said in disappointment.
Following Alex’s gaze, Rebecca looked behind her, trying to understand what he was talking about before it clicked her. Angry, she broke free of Jessica’s grip and pounced on Alex like a hungry tigress.
“No...” Jessica cried out.

“Are you alright?” Jessica asked, “I told you not to provoke her. Look at the bleeding.”
“You are making a big deal out of it,” Alex chuckled, trying to play it down, “It will be okay in a while.”
“You shut up,” Jessica angrily said, “Who told you to get out of the way?” Jessica said, rebuking Alex.
“Aahhh... Gently, it’s hurting me,” Rebecca cried out in pain, holding her nose.
“Ohh... I am sorry. Phew... Phew...” Jessica apologised as she blew air on Rebecca’s face.
“It’s all because of him,” Rebecca had tears thinking about it.
“My fault?” Alex asked, raising his voice, “Enough... I have been listening to you sisters putting all the blame on me, but why did you suddenly jump on me?” Alex asked.
“... Do you think I am an idiot to catch you in my arms?” Alex angrily bashed them, “Of course, I had to kick the desk and roll my way out.”
“... But are you an idiot or what?” Alex was not at all polite with her words even though they had met for the first time, “Don’t you know the basic principle behind falling? It’s not even a principle but basic instincts.”
“... Your hand should automatically come forward to break your fall. Like this,” Alex said and fell forward but was supported by his hands, “Who falls flat on their face? Look at your nose, bleeding rivers... Che... Daddy’s angels...” Alex continued to lecture Rebecca.
“Enough, let’s just leave it at that now,” Jessica said as she put the cotton on the side and picked up a band-aid, “We won’t talk about this anymore.”
“But...” Rebecca tried to protest. She has been on the side being lectured from the beginning, and she was not content, “Oww...”
Jessica pressed the band-aid on Rebecca’s nose to stop her from stretching the matter any further.
“Let’s talk about the details now,” Jessica said as she got behind the desk, and Alex sat beside Rebecca.
“Humpf...” Rebecca snorted, twisting her body to have her back towards Alex while looking at her sister.
Jessica did not pay much attention to her sister’s actions and passed on a thin, transparent file to Alex, “Here’s the list of cast members. Some have been selected through screening, while others were...” Jessica did not say any further, and Alex understood without her needing to.
“...We still have about two weeks. You can go through their details, and except for those marked in red, we can think about the others again.” Jessica told Alex. Hearing her, Alex nodded.
Jessica thought, given his bashful personality, Alex would have a problem with those actors cast without proper screening. After all, there was this hue and cry for a while about recommendations, nepotism, stars being bigger than the project and more. But personally, Alex had no problem with it. If you don’t like someone, just don’t watch him. How many times can their family or a production launch them?
“You already have the script for the first five episodes, as well as the general idea of the project. Based on that, my team searched around the country for locations, and here’s a list that has been sorted out,” Jessica gave Alex another file, “Go through them and give us your opinion.”
Alex took the file and gave it a quick glance before nodding.
“We already have a team ready for the project,” Jessica continued, “And Rebecca will be the one in charge from our side. Still, you will be the one heading the project, so I hope you will take good care of her.” Jessica asked Alex.
Smirking, Alex turned his towards Rebecca, “Why not... Why not... With how good the beginning is. I am excited about the journey now.”
“Humph... who would be excited about being with you?” Rebecca said, making faces.
“For one, your sister would be quite tempted,” Alex leaned forward and whispered into Rebecca’s ear.
“Eeii...” Feeling ticklish, Rebecca jumped from her chair and glared angrily at Alex.
“Not anymore...” Jessica intervened before things could escalate, “Do you have anything you would want to add?”
“No... everything looks good,” Alex shook his head, “And whatever I wanted, I have already told you about it during the contract signing...” With Alex refusing to add anything, everything was done.
“I think we are done here,” Alex said as he looked at his watch, “I should get going as well.” Alex grabbed the files and stood up.
“Why don’t we go for dinner,” As soon as Alex stood up, Jessica got up as well and asked.
Alex gave it a thought before shaking his head, “Maybe some other time. You must already have a lot on your plate because of your father.” Alex rejected.
“Father? What father?” Rebecca turned towards Jessica, “Don’t tell me that perverted rascal was here.” Rebecca looked at Jessica, asking a question.
“Well, you can talk all about it after I am gone,” Alex said and turned around to leave, but when he was at the door, he looked back, “Are you sure you don’t have an onlyFans? You will make a killing out there.”
“You...” Rebecca took out her heel and threw it at Alex aiming for his head, but Alex was quick enough to run away, closing the door behind him.
“Auugghhh...”
