Charlotte couldn’t seem to feel hungry and refused to eat, even when the maid called her for dinner.The sky gradually darkened. She was afraid of the dark, yet she did not turn on the light. She simply sat in her spot like a puppet, and tears streamed down her face over and over again. Her face became wet before it could dry, over and over again.Charlotte finally felt sleepy at 02:00 a.m.She decided to wash her face first.She pushed open the bedroom door and saw that the light in the living room was still on. Zachary stood in front of the couch in his pajamas, staring at a picture.She quickly hid the picture in his hand when he heard the door open and spoke in an even tone.“It’s late. Why aren’t you asleep yet?”“I’m going to bed after washing my face.”Charlotte looked at his left hand, which held the picture…She saw it. That was a photograph of Poopoo.She had also seen the suffocatingly melancholic look in his eyes when he was staring at Poopoo’s picture.It was no
Charlotte did not go to the film studio for filming over the next few days.She knew that this wasn’t right.Less than a third of The First Sorceress Princess was complete. As the main female lead, backing out at this point was highly irresponsible to her, Dickson, and the entire crew.However, Poopoo’s death seemed to have sucked the soul out of her. She simply couldn’t summon the motivation to dedicate herself to a job. She locked herself in the house all day and couldn’t even bring herself to walk out the courtyard gates.She was currently sitting on a swing in the courtyard, staring into space.“Ahem!”A dry cough suddenly rang aloud from behind her.‘Wait a minute! That cough… Why did it sound like Bryson’s…’Charlotte turned around. Her mind was filled with complex emotions. However, she saw a janitor dressed in his uniform, holding a broom in one hand and a trash can in the other, walking toward the garbage area in the distance.‘Sigh!’The joy in Charlotte’s eyes turn
Charlotte paused in her footsteps. Despite lifting up her head to look at Zenios’s face, her eyes remained cold and dim. There was no sunlight or warmth, which she used to have.“I thought you weren’t done shooting that new blockbuster? Why aren’t you going back to shooting?”Zenios’s features looked exquisite, like a carved statue as he stood against the light. He looked even more charming than ever.“Tiffany really promoted herself well. Aside from a few of us who know the truth, most people think that she’s a pure and innocent girl who’s the perfect match for me. They all think I’m actually in love with her. So after her incident during our wedding, my crew manager gave me ten days off so that I could keep her company.”Charlotte was shocked.“Isn’t she supposed to be dead? Why are you keeping her company?”“She’s still got some breath in her, but saying that she’s dead isn’t entirely inaccurate… Jackson did give everyone a fright when he shoved that wine bottle through her st
Charlotte felt like she had woken up from a dream. ‘Yes! No matter what difficulties I encounter, they can never be the reason that makes me feel depressed and defeated. I must always challenge my limits courageously and realize my life value!’“Zenios, thank you! I’ve come to my senses. I have to get back onto my feet bravely. I’ll return to the crew to film now!” Charlotte, who seemed to have recovered from her low ebb, smiled at Zenios, turned around, and left.“Hey! You shouldn’t be in such a hurry, right? I have one last thing that I want to say to you.” Zenios’s voice was as melodious as a symphony.Charlotte stopped with her back facing him. “Shoot me.”Gentleness was overflowing from the clear, blue eyes of the handsome and charming man. “You said to me before that it was your fault that I’m tied to Tiffany. Yeah! It was truly your fault! But, you’re not wrong in the sense of causing me to have to marry Tiffany. You’re wrong in the sense of not realizing that I don’t see my
Sure enough!Charlotte performed very poorly today. She had to redo a shot that was not too difficult more than 20 times and still did not meet Mr. Barkley’s expectations in the end.Nonetheless, she was not discouraged. At least, she was gradually regaining her touch and was getting better and better.Charlotte found that she was no longer so depressed after she had returned to the studio. Although she still often thought of Poopoo, her heart still felt like it got cut open when she thought of her child, and the pain still caused her to feel suffocated, the shooting schedule had distracted a lot of her attention. At least, it prevented her from thinking about Poopoo at all times.She adjusted her alarm clock, getting it to go off at 06:30 in the morning. She would wake up as soon as the alarm went off... Freshen up, eat breakfast seriously, and go to the studio on time.More than a week has passed since she started upholding the schedule.That evening, after finishing a set of s
Charlotte’s lips trembled vigorously. “Nicky promised me not to take photos of Lorraine secretly anymore. He never lied to me, Cora. Was that a mistake?”“Yes! Although Nicky is a little impatient, he never lies. He’ll always keep his word no matter how difficult it is for him to uphold his promise. So, ever since you told me that he had promised you that he would never provoke Lorraine again, I was relieved and stopped to keep on checking on him from time to time. I no longer kept an eye on him when he told me that he’s going out to play. Who knew that it would be an exception this time around...”Coraline said while wiping her tears, “I didn’t understand until today that he hadn’t been going out there to fool around. He was running around the city every day from dawn till dusk, trying to expose Lorraine!”“Nicky...” Charlotte stared blankly at Nicholas, whose eyes were closed.She was worried that such a thing would happen. That was why she had told Nicholas to stay out of the ma
Charlotte became even more nervous. “Which hospital are you in?”Zachary answered, “Rothesay Municipal Hospital.”“What a coincidence? I’m also here now...” Charlotte blinked in disbelief. “Well, tell me your exact location. We’ll meet at that location.”“I’m by the fountain on the east side of the main building. You’ll see me when you exit the building.” A melodious voice brushed through her ears like musical notes.Charlotte nodded. “Okay!”‘Wait a minute! Didn’t Zachary say that I’ll see him when I exit the building? Why does it feel like he knows that I’m in the main building now?’Charlotte could not ask Zachary these questions because Zachary had already hung up.She could not wait to see Zachary. Charlotte dashed toward the elevator at the speed of Usain Bolt during a 100-meter sprint.In the corridor, all the people glanced at the woman, who had long hair hanging over her shoulders, wearing an elegant ancient costume as if she had traveled here from ancient times, and t
‘Is this woman in the video really Lorraine? Her attire is bold and luscious, and her makeup looks extremely glamorous, unlike the usual Lorraine, who acts as pure as spring water.‘And the way she pleases Jebediah isn’t only proactive. It can even be described as cheap and sl*tty’.As the video went on, Zachary, who had never been very emotional, had cracks on his well-defined face.“Carlie, Zachary, what are you looking at?” A clear and soft voice sounded all of a sudden.‘Lorraine! Is this really her?’ Charlotte looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lorraine walking toward her. Her lips could not help but twitch, and she evoked an evil grin. “You’ve come here at the right time. I think the person that Zachary wants to see the most at this time is you.”“Carlie, what are you talking about?” Lorraine looked dumbfounded.Charlotte raised her eyebrows playfully. “Didn’t you just ask what Zachary and I were looking at? Why don’t you come over and see it yourself?”Lorraine’
