Charlotte was not a new actress now, so she already knew the rules of showbiz very well—In order to prevent the script from being spoiled, the complete script of a film or drama was always the top secret of the entire crew. Only a few of the most crucial senior officials in the crew knew the full script, and each actor would only get the part that they participated in.Dickson showed the entire script to Charlotte without reservation, which was more than enough to show his trust in her.Charlotte shook her head. “Forget it, I’m afraid that I’ll lose control of my mouth at some point and tell others about it after I’ve read the story. If I were to do so, the script would spread like wildfire in the business. If the plot is spoiled, it’ll definitely affect the box office of this movie in the future.”Dickson did not respond to her but chuckled knowingly.Charlotte was bewildered. “Mr. Barkley, what are you laughing at?”Dickson stared at her gently. “I’m laughing at your deliberat
Dickson, who had accumulated a lot of grievances, was left speechless for a split second as his lips trembled vigorously. “Well, my bad. It turns out that you’re the punctual one out of all of us present. I guess it’s because all of us arrived at work too early. I’ve misunderstood you and I’m sorry about that. Please don’t take it to heart.”The onlookers stared at each other in astonishment. Even Charlotte was surprised.In the entertainment industry, even superstars like Zenios respected Mr. Barkley.However, Julius was a popular star at best. Charlotte had not expected Mr. Barkley to apologize to Julius so respectfully...Julius did not look flattered at all. He opened his thin lips calmly and said coolly, “It’s nothing.”Dickson patted Julius on the shoulder and raised his voice. “Now, guys, allow me to introduce to you the second male lead of the sequel of The First Sorceress Princess and the person that I was waiting for before—Julius Randall.”Everyone applauded.The actr
A world-renowned critic in the entertainment industry had once commented, “If Julius Randall were to put a little more thought into his entertainment career, he’d definitely be more popular than Zenios Connor.”Although Charlotte had just met Julius, she could feel that Julius was a very indifferent and arrogant loner, and such people were often difficult to get along with.‘Why did Mr. Barkley cast such a difficult actor as the second male lead?!’“Carlie, are you okay?” A clear voice interrupted Charlotte’s thoughts.Charlotte moved her eyes away from Julius immediately and looked at Jezebel, who had already come close to her. “Yeah...”“Tsk! I’ve seen a lot of people who love to put on airs. Don’t take it to heart.” Jezebel pointed at Julius mockingly.“Besides, isn’t he just an actor who can barely be considered a top-tier star? You’re more well-known than him. What made him think that he has the qualifications to act all superior while talking to you? He really has no self-a
“Your ankle has been sprained, so it’ll definitely hurt. Carlie, wait for me here. I’ll be back in a second.” Jezebel dashed toward the river after saying this.Charlotte looked at Jezebel in a daze.Before long, Jezebel reached the river bank and tore a piece of fabric about four inches long and two inches wide from her skirt. After absorbing water in the river with the fabric, she quickly ran back to Charlotte and wrapped the cloth around Charlotte’s ankle.“Hiss...” The sudden coldness on her skin made Charlotte tremble a little.However, the moment the chill penetrated her sprained ankle, the pain that had been stinging dissipated instantly, and a sense of relief followed.Seeing that Charlotte was no longer suffering, Jezebel breathed a sigh of relief.“I accidentally sprained my ankle once when I was walking down a staircase. The doctor said that one should always apply a cold compress instantly after a sprain. You can try to stand up now to see whether you can do so by you
Charlotte’s eyebrows twitched in surprise. “Sorry, I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Can you be more straightforward?”The expressionless Julius looked cooler than the water in the nearby river. “There often must be a reason for a person to pay so much attention to someone else. Don’t you find it abnormal at all for a prestigious person such as Ms. Atson to kneel and flatter an unworthy actor?”“What?!” Charlotte’s eyes were on the brink of popping out of their sockets.The extraordinarily attractive man glanced ironically at Jezebel, who was standing next to Charlotte.“I’ve already told you everything that I should tell you very clearly. If you have any more questions, you can ask her...” He turned away and left with a scoff after saying these words.Charlotte stared at his ethereal, indifferent figure in a daze, unable to recover from the trance for a long time.“Carlie, let’s go.” Jezebel’s voice came from the side.Charlotte slowly moved her gaze away from Juliu
She took a few deep breaths and cleared her throat before answering the call.“Hello?”“What are your plans for tonight?” Zachary’s voice on the phone was still as magnetic and enticing as ever.Charlotte tried her best to remain calm.“Don’t have much going on.”“Then come over to my place for dinner,” Zachary said.Charlotte considered whether she should actually go.Zachary’s clear, magnetic voice rang out again. “Our son misses our daughter. I promised him that I’d have her over for dinner.”“Ah, I see!”Charlotte had been a little nervous, but when she heard Zachary say “our son” and “our daughter”, she felt unspeakably relaxed and at ease… She smiled instinctively.“Then I’ll pick Naomi up from kindergarten once I’ve finished working at the studio this afternoon and we’ll come to your place together.”“This afternoon?”Meanwhile, Zachary, who was standing by the French windows, had a hint of warmth on his cold, elegant face.“I asked Lily and David to pick Naomi up f
At that moment, Julius raised his brow in amusement. “Miss Simmons, next time you walk out the door, you should really check if there’s anyone outside. Otherwise, an ignorant person would think that you’re deliberately throwing yourself at them.”Charlotte was instantly flustered.“Quit being such a narcissist. I feel absolutely disgusted whenever I see weirdos like you. Who’d want to throw themselves at you?”“Oh, really?”Julius did not seem angry at all. Instead, the amusement in his eyes only increased.“That’s even better. I might have vomited if you were actually throwing yourself at me.”“You…”Charlotte blushed from anger, and her lips trembled.However, she wasn’t in the mood to waste any time on him. She shot him an irritable glare and walked around him, dragging Jezebel along with her.Julius lowered his long, thick, dark eyelashes and stared at her right hand, which was holding onto Jezebel’s wrist.“Please remember to remain clean and love yourself, little girl
“Mr. Connor, a car just arrived. The driver looks a lot like Miss Simmon. May we serve dinner now?”Zachary lifted his head and turned toward the courtyard. Once he saw Charlotte’s car, he replied calmly, “Mm.”Janet quickly ran to the dining room to serve dinner.Zachary’s chiseled face showed no sign of emotion. Only his dazzling, crystalline eyes contained a starry light filled with excitement and emotion.Naomi immediately tossed her toys aside and threw herself in Charlotte’s arms as soon as she walked into the living room.“Mommy, I just arrived at daddy's house. My big brother picked me up from kindergarten today. Daddy says that families should stay together. He says that he’s going to send big brother to my kindergarten. That way, we can be together every day.”The tips of Charlotte’s fingers trembled.For some strange reason, the words “families should stay together” tugged at her heartstrings.It was true! There was no greater happiness than to be with family. Howeve
