Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Not Suitable for You
After all, being closer with her tutor could possibly create an extra connection for the future.
In those brief three days, Jackie Qualls couldn’t render much help. At most, he would wait on Hannah’s path, just to catch a distant glimpse of her.
His gaze was soft and affectionate, anyone who didn’t know better might assume there was some hidden tale between Jackie Qualls and Hannah.
Even Sunny Lee couldn’t resist the gossip, "Hannah, don’t you think you should go see Mr. Qualls? He has been standing there for quite a while."
Despite Best Actor Qualls’ status creating an inherent distance, his image on the show remained that of a refined gentleman.
If such a man were to dote on you, it would indeed be a blissful experience.
That was what most people thought.
Hannah had just finished practicing her final move and upon looking outside the window, she saw Jackie Qualls giving her a most gentle smile.
Maybe it was because he was an actor, but Jackie Qualls’ gaze was always incredibly focused, giving the illusion of a deep affection. For most people, this was lethally charming.
Seeing Sunny’s shy demeanor, Hannah couldn’t resist teasing her, "Do you like him?"
Sunny was startled, "No... no way."
While Best Actor Qualls was good-looking and kind, she preferred Hannah more.
Thinking so, she stole a glance at the girl’s clear black eyes, then swiftly lowered her gaze.
She felt a bit distressed, wishing she were a boy.
Even though being a girl isn’t a problem, she probably couldn’t compete with Lucy Taylor.
Lucy Taylor was also very attractive, a kind of bold and aggressive beauty. She seemed to match well with Hannah when standing next to her.
Was it a case of mature woman and Lolita?
But Hannah seemed quite tall and definitely not a completely soft girl.
When she danced, it was rather seductive.
So what was it exactly?
The self-doubting Sunny Lee was so absorbed that she didn’t even realize when Hannah had left.
Hannah went to get some water, and just then, Jackie Qualls approached.
Looking at the man standing in front of her, she was in a surprisingly good mood and smiled at him, "Here to watch the rehearsal?"
The public performance was tomorrow, every group would go through a dress rehearsal tonight, and as the host, Jackie Qualls would also come to familiarise himself with the live environment.
Jackie Qualls nodded, "I was passing by and thought I’d check on you."
Hannah let out a soft chuckle, "Mr. Qualls, the term ’passing by’ doesn’t quite suit you."
Everyone knew the public stage and the rehearsal room were in two different directions.
Jackie Qualls soon realized his blunder and felt a bit awkward. He coughed lightly and looking at Hannah’s rosy face, he couldn’t help but ask with concern, "Is the practice tiring?"
Hannah exerted a bit of strength to unscrew the water bottle in her hand, her eyes sparkling with amusement, "Compared to practicing, chatting with you is probably more tiring."
Speaking ambiguously, leaving a bit of room for interpretation, that seemed like Jackie Qualls’ way of interacting with people.
Such a man would easily give an illusion of being easy to get along with, staying by his side could only be described as pleasantly refreshing.
But if you watched him closely, you would realize that Jackie Qualls, who maintained this demeanor with everyone, appeared somewhat insincere.
Unperturbed by Hannah’s words, Jackie Qualls just smiled, "That’s fine, at least you are spending more time thinking about me, and will remember me."
Hannah kept quiet and just stared at him for a while.
Jackie Qualls was the first to break the silence, "I just found out about this matter myself."
He had been tied up with things in the production crew lately.
