Chapter 239
The car stopped on Rodeo Drive, and Madeline stepped out of the car in front of a cafe while Ada searched for a place to park the car.
Madeline saw Jasmin drinking a cup of bubble tea inside the cafe, so she walked in and hugged her from behind, exclaiming, "Girlfriend!!"
"Oh! You startled me, Maddy," Jasmin chuckled as she patted Madeline’s arm. "It’s been a while since our last meet-up, hasn’t it?"
"Mhm, I think it’s been about two months," Madeline guessed. She sat next to Jasmin and said, "I’ve been so busy filming Hot Sensation. Sorry, Jasmin."
"Nah, it’s fine," Jasmin sipped her bubble tea, updating Madeline on her life so far. "I’m also currently working on my new music."
"Oh, I remember your latest single was a massive hit, right?" Madeline recalled that she also promoted that single on her Instagram, and it blew up instantly.
Jasmin made great music and with Madeline’s promotion, its success was guaranteed.
"Girl! It’s charting. It’s currently number five on the Billboard Hot 100!" Jasmin said proudly. "I won’t be able to do it without you, Maddy. Your promotion really made a big difference."
"Oh, don’t sell yourself short. We both know it’ll do well whether I promote it or not," Madeline said modestly. "But you should inform me when the album is released, alright? I can feature some songs in my new movie since it needs a good soundtrack."
"And I’ll continue to promote you, as always," Madeline added.
Jasmin sighed. She stirred the bubble tea with the straw while staring at her best friend. "Sometimes, I feel like I haven’t done much to get so much help from you. I want to help you too, but it seems like you’re doing just fine on your own."
"Friendship isn’t a business or a trade, Jasmin," Madeline said. "I like to help you because you’re my best friend, and I’m sure you’d do the same for me."
