"Yes, I was fond of acting ever since I was a child, but now, I'm just tired of it. Simon, didn't you realize
that I'm getting lazier, especially after marrying you? In the past three years, I haven't even done much
work. I think I'm getting used to the idea of being taken care of. Every time I sign up for a movie, I get
busy for at least three months and sometimes for an entire year even. All this is so tiring. Moreover, I
just want to stay and spend time with you." Nacy stopped frowning, feeling much better now.
As a celebrity, she was actually under a lot of pressure. The paparazzi were everywhere, and there
would always be someone criticizing her. Some untalented actresses even had to sell their bodies to
get a small role in the background. Nacy was lucky that she was from a powerful family. With her
background, she could get any role she desired.
Nacy had made up her mind to quit the industry. She wanted to be an ordinary person and lead a
normal life. She didn't want to be followed by media her entire life. She had been in the showbiz for
years and had enough experience. She knew it was a dirty and dark place. So this time, she wanted to
quit and stay clear of the industry.
She envied Mandy and Nathan's peaceful life. Having a baby with Simon became somewhat of a
dream for her because of them. Taking care of a cute baby while running her own business sounded
like the best choice.
Not only did Nacy like drawing and fashion designing, but she was also skilled in it. Therefore, she
wanted to open her own boutique and make designer clothes.
"Those are some good plans, Nacy. Whatever you want to do, you will always have my full support. I
will be supporting you every step of the way." Simon pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.
"I still remember a singer once said that he didn't want to be in the entertainment industry because it
forced him to become what he wasn't. I agree with him. After staying in this circle for such a long time, I
feel like I have changed too. I couldn't do anything I wished. Since my life is short, I will enjoy it and live
like a free person from now on."
"Then quit the entertainment industry, and you can have a much-desired job: a full-time housewife!
After all, my wife doesn't need to work outside," Simon said while staring deep into Nacy's eyes.
But Nacy shook her head and said, "I don't want to become a housewife. Even though it doesn't mean
that I will become a canary locked inside a cage, I still don't wanna stay sedentary. My brother founded
the Mandy Mall and then gave it to Mandy. In the beginning, she complained that she didn't know
anything about business, but gradually, she got the hang of it. After all, women should have their own
careers."
Seeing the determination oozing out of her serious eyes, Simon couldn't help but feel helpless. Ever
since they got married, he only wished that Nacy would stay at home.
Nacy was a workaholic in spirit and body. Sometimes, it would be absolute zero outside, but she would
still take part in the shooting. And at other times, it would be boiling hot outside, but she would still wear
winter clothing and complete the shoot for some magazine. One thing was for sure. She wasn't a
canary trapped inside a cage, but she was a robin soaring in the endless blue sky.
"Then what do you want to do?" Simon raised the corners of his mouth and gave her a sudden smile
while emitting tenderness.
Nacy rolled her eyes and stared at Simon. She pretended to be angry and complained, "Humph! You
don't even know what I like to do? How dare you!"
"Haven't you always liked acting? Even after all these years, I still couldn't find anything that you loved
more than acting," said Simon while smiling.
"Well, that's because you don't know me well enough. If you knew everything about me, you would
have known that I'm also a good painter and fashion designer," Nacy said.
Simon looked her up and down with suspicion in his eyes and asked, "Really? Why haven't I seen you
paint before?"
Nacy curled her lips. "It's normal that you don't know. I haven't painted for years. Those paintings
hanging in our living room are all my work."
Simon nodded, lost in thought. "I see. No wonder your father treats those paintings as if they are rare
treasures. They turned out to be your paintings!"
"Yes, along with drawing, I also like fashion designing. Over the years, I discovered that fashion trends
follow a particular cycle. This year bend pants and floral skirts are popular," Nacy said with
professionalism while squinting her eyes.
Having started her acting career at an early age, Nacy had seen how the stars dressed. Therefore, she
was familiar with famous fashion brands and their products. She had her own unique insight into
fashion. Every year, she was named the most fashionable star in the entertainment industry. Her secret
was to strictly adhere to seasons. Unlike other stars, who would wear anything without keeping the
tone of the season in mind, she would only wear clothes that complimented that season's tone.
"I see. All in all, you love looking beautiful."
"Right. Every woman wants to be beautiful. We are born this way. What about you? Don't you like
looking handsome? Don't you dress up in front of the mirror every day?"
Nacy was a good talker. With simple deliberations, Simon couldn't help agreeing with her.
Simon loved this talkative Nacy the most. The Nacy who would share everything with him. In the past,
Nacy was always busy with her work. While at home, she would recite lines and seldom talk with
Simon. At times, Simon would try to talk with her, but it would always end with her gently refusing him.
Simon loved Nacy's idea of leaving the entertainment industry. Finally, he could have some private time
with Nacy.
Fiona and Ethon had graduated ahead of time. According to the university's rules, students could
graduate ahead of time as long as they could finish the curriculum with an overall "A" grade.
After they graduated from university, they began working at JS International. Ethon worked in the
investment department, and Fiona was in the marketing department. A few days ago, she was
transferred to the Mandy Mall.
In the morning, they were informed that Adrian was sick. So they decided to visit him before going to
work.
