Chapter 138: 138. It's Safe To Assume You're A Fan.

Four days ago.

Jessie rubbed her head, everything was throbbing she struggled to stand stumbling back a few steps. Where was she? Why did her room look like this? After the initial confusion that came with waking up everything that happened last night came rushing back with such a force that she bent over and clutched her head. No way! It was a dream? Wow... ofcourse she wasn't that lucky.  She walked to the door slowly and pulled it open.

"Where is he?" She asked.

"He's not in the manor, he has gone to work." The butler answered.

"You should eat something miss Jessie." The maid that helped her yesterday suggested. 

"I have a horrible headache, do you have anything for that?" She groaned.

"Of course, I've got you covered." The butler nodded. He motioned and just like that a tray of pills and a jug of water appeared from behind the door. 

"Thanks a lot Mr. Choi, you're a lifesaver." She smiled as wide as her throbbing head would allow.

"Just doing my job, how about you freshen up and come down for brunch." He insisted. 

She nodded and went to do just that.

As she shut the door she sat than on the floor, clutching her knees. So it was a dream, all of it was a dream. She was really no longer an actress, she was... here.

Tears began to fall freely and she made no attempt to clean them up, there was no reason to. Everything she worked hard for, in an instant it was gone, just like that. Soon enough sob began to shake her thin body. She cried quietly afraid one of the servants would her, the last thing she wanted was for the staff to pity her as well. 

She wouldn't give up, that dream must come through again. She would be an actress again, she would clear her name and make Patricia pay. She had been way to lax about it all, it was time to focus on the important things. Getting back everything that Patricia stole from her. 

She wiped her eyes and walked into the bathroom. After a while, after she was bathed and dressed she walked out of the room.

"I will clean up your room now miss Jessie." One of the maids bowed as she walked out.

"You'll probably need help, Where's butler Choi? I want everything replaced. Every single thing, leave the wardrobe as it is though." She informed the maid then walked to the elevator. 

"Is there a phone I can use?" Jessie asked one of the maids.

"Actually, chairman Kang left this for you." Butler Choi placed a box on the table beside her. "It's already set and ready for use."

"Jason left this? I don't want it, drop it off on his desk." She stated curtly. 

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Yeah." She said getting up and walking out of the room. She got into the elevator and went to the theater room to get her mind off things for a while. Movies had a way of doing that for her.

Jessie spent the rest off the day, actively avoiding Jason. Making sure she had dinner earlier. By the next day she was exhausted. Why was she even mad at him? After all he was right. She walked to her wardrobe and looked for a particular pair jeans she pulled out a folded piece of paper from it.

"Hey," she called out peeping outside her door.

"You can just use the button in your room miss, it will alert us." The maid waiting outside her room informed her.

"Really? Then why are you here then?" She pouted. "Anyways do you have a phone?" She asked.

"M-.. me?" The maid stuttered in surprise. 

"Who else is here? You know what, get Agnes." Jessie said. She bowed and swiftly walked away. In a few moments Agnes knocked on her door and pushed it open.

"Love what you did with the room, butler Choi would not stop praising you." Jessie complimented her as she walked in.

"Anything to make you happy miss Jessie." Agnes bowed.

"Really?" Jessie asked.

"Ofcourse." She replied. 

"Then I need your help. Can you get me a phone?" She asked.

"Uh... the phone Chairman kang-"

"Not that one, yours how about yours?" Jessie asked again.

"I'm sorry miss but we aren't allowed to bring our phones into the manor." Agnes bowed.

"Uh... don't you live in the manor?" 

"Yes."

"So staff don't have phones?" 

"For the duration of the contract no." She replied. 

"That's pretty extreme."

"But if you need a phone that the chairman would not be able to track, you can use the pay phone the rest of the staff uses." 

Jessie's brows rose, "what makes you think I don't want Jason to know about it?" 

Agnes rose her head and looked her in the eyes and Jessie smiled. "I like you Agnes, I hope it remains that way, lead the way." 

Agnes bowed and walked out of the room. Leading her through a series of hidden passages, Jessie has no idea existed. Who the hell designed this place? 

"Here it is, I'll keep watch to make sure no one is coming." She said curtly walking to the door.

Jessie smiled at the maid, she probably just wanted to give her privacy. She pulled out the paper and punched in the numbers. 

"Hello?" A voice answered. 

"Hey... Krystal? It's Jessie Marin."

"Oh my goodness! Y-you actually, you're actually calling me?!" She almost squealed. 

Jessie smiled, "I'm sorry to be so abrupt but I need your help or ac-"

"Of course I'll help you!" 

"Thanks a lot, but I'll need both you and Jonathan's help. Is there a way I could speak to him? I remember you said you were his secretary?" 

"Yeah, but he is in a meeting right now." Krystal said. "If you want to leave a message?"

"Oh sure, I'm looking for the detective who was  in charge of my case, I think his name was Anderson? Jamie Anderson." She said.

And Krystal coughed awkwardly at the other side of the call. "When he is available can you please tell him that? I call again, maybe later." She said.

"He'll be free by six." Krystal said.

"Okay then, thank you so much, by-"

"Wait! How do we reach you? This number?" She asked.

"Oh no, I'll call, never absolutely never call me. I'll explain later. Goodbye." She stated putting the phone back. "Agnes" she called the maid. 

"Yes miss?" 

"You know who I am don't you." Jessie stated bluntly. 

Agnes looked up at her once again and gave her a tight but reassuring smile. "That isn't much off a secret."

"So it safe to assume you're a fan right?" Jessie said. 

Agnes looked down briefly before giving Jessie her biggest smile. "Can I please hug you?" She said with tears in her eyes. 

Jessie returned her sincere smile and opened her arms. Agnes ran and wrapped her arm around Jessie's torso, and cried into her shoulder. "I knew you didn't do it, I'm glad your alive." She mumbled.

Krystal placed her hands on his desk and leaned down to look him in the eyes. "Don't you think you're underestimating fans? Just because you were in the news a few times doesn't qualify as the spotlight. Trends on the internet as part of a celebrity scandal, worse someone as big as Jessie Marin, whatever secret you have down to the very doctor that delivered you will be out to the world. Wanna bet?"
