#1322 - Jack's Temptation

Jack still remembered a little bit of the long list of complaints Angelia Sykes had made about her difficult boss on the plane, using him as a stranger as a window.

And from what he had just seen with his own eyes, it seemed to have verified this point.

Whether in his past life or this life, Jack is not a person who can accept big promises or even PUA from his boss. In other words, his personality is simply not suitable for the workplace.

It’s just that he had no choice in his previous life, and he was more or less "wronged" for more than ten years. Of course, the facts eventually proved this point, and he would never become a qualified "professional".

Therefore, he also understood that no matter how sunny and cheerful a person is, when he heard that his old boss was in trouble, even if he did not gloat over his misfortune, it was inevitable that he would feel a little secretly happy in his heart.

Angelica Sykes, who was wearing a press card, still had a beautiful blush on her cheeks when she saw Jack, and it was unclear whether it was because of the jogging or other reasons.

However, when she heard that the person who was unfortunately murdered was Miranda's former assistant, she vowed to vouch for her former employer.

"Miranda is a very rational person. She would never kill anyone, nor would she hire someone to kill her. As the godmother of the New York fashion world, she has plenty of ways to make a girl who aspires to enter the fashion world suffer a fate worse than death."

Even Jack took several seconds to think carefully about the true meaning of the girl's words.

The two took the elevator to the tenth floor. Led by Angelica Sykes, who was familiar with the place, they found a photographer named Seger. Beckett and Cassel had just started talking to him.

"Yes, they did fight each other, with a lot of fire, just like my favorite bikini mud wrestling, it was quite sexy." The photographer said while gesturing to the two of them vividly.

Before Cassel could join in the discussion, Beckett had to interrupt him and asked, "Do you know why they fought?"

When he saw Angelia Sykes, photographer Seger smiled and raised his hand to say hello, "Hi, Andy, are you planning to come back to work?"

The girl pointed to the press card on her chest with a proud look on her face and made a face at him. The photographer couldn't help but look regretful, "Do you know how many assistants Miranda has had since you and Emily left? A dozen."

It wasn't until Beckett coughed deliberately that he came back to his senses, with a bit of regret on his face, "Oh, sorry, of course the fight between the two of them was about work. I heard Grace blame Ella for getting her fired because of the involvement."

At this time, a short and fat Asian man walked out of the studio. He was wearing a plaid suit, a large black bow tie, and a black round soft-brimmed hat on his head.

Although he didn't wear earrings or eyeliner, Jack could tell at a glance from the "unfriendly" look in his eyes that this guy was a real gay.

"Saige, how long do we have to wait? The deadline for me to complete the design is approaching." The short and fat Asian man complained.

The photographer turned back to look at him and said bluntly, "There is no deadline. You only have two choices. Either satisfy Miranda or get out."

Jack noticed that the logo hanging in the studio was the words "The Amazing Five", which seemed to be the fashion designer audition he had heard about in Miranda's office before.

"Do you miss this feeling?" The photographer named Seger seemed to be very familiar with Angelica Sykes.

Seeing that he was about to go off topic again, Beckett quickly asked, "Do you have any more details about the fight?"

"I can even provide live footage for this." The photographer waved his hand for everyone to follow him to the workbench and picked up a tablet.

"I told you, it was pretty sexy." He proudly showed Beckett some of the photos above.

Thanks to today's technological advances, as long as the memory card of a digital camera is large enough, the photographer does not have to worry about the amount of film at all. Just find a good angle and press the shutter button.

So everyone can enjoy a set of photos with continuous movements, just like watching a slide show, just like now.

The victim, Ella, had blonde hair, so the red-haired girl who was struggling with her was obviously Grace. After the photo was enlarged at Cassel's request, everyone could clearly see the blue scarf around Grace's neck.

"Remember the blue hair that Lanny found at the scene?" Beckett smiled.

Cassel made a timely comment, "It looks like what Grace is wearing is a murder weapon."

——

"Jack, is this the office you mentioned?" Sitting in the dining room connected to the small building and kitchen of the wanted criminal team's base, Angelica Sykes looked around curiously.

"As you can see, Angelica."

Jack took the steamed eggplant out of the pot, rinsed it, and tore it into long strips. After adding various seasonings, he heated up a pan of oil, sautéed the onion, ginger, and garlic, then poured in the sesame oil and stirred.

"My friends usually just call me Andy." The girl twitched her nose and asked half curiously and half worriedly, "Won't this method have high calories?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although Jack has answered similar questions many times, he still finds it funny. "Don't worry, Andy, this dish is definitely healthier than any vegetable salad you have ever eaten."

He looked the girl up and down with a puzzled look in his eyes. "You have already resigned from the fashion magazine. Do you still have body anxiety?"

The template for the person in front of us is Anne Hathaway, who was 24 or 25 years old. If she was a little immature when she starred in "The Princess Diaries" and a little too mature when she played Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises", then it can be said that she is just right now.

Andy made a face at him. "You know what they called me when I first got on Project Runway? 'Size 6 girl.'"

Size 6 in American women's clothing usually corresponds to size L in international sizes. Although Jack has no exposure to the fashion industry, he can guess that the nickname "Size 6 Girl" is a satire on Andy's substandard figure.

Excluding the LGBT+ factor, the standards of the American fashion industry are basically in line with those of Paris and Milan. At the time, Anna's skinny figure was the most standard supermodel.

This kind of topic was simply an humiliation to a chef, so Jack simply lifted the lid of the soup pot on the stove to show the chicken soup that was almost cooked and was bubbling with golden oil.

"Are you sure you want to talk to me about losing weight?"

The aroma that hit his nose made Andy swallow his saliva involuntarily, and he shook his head like a rattle.
