CHAPTER 1614: CHAPTER 1614: WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED?

"Then in that case, Mr. Alexander, could you please send me the script? If possible, I hope we can officially collaborate."

Charlotte Thompson nodded at the director.

The director appeared rather flattered: "It’s my honor to work with Miss Thompson."

Supported by the Thompson Family, countless people are eager to associate with her.

Such a great opportunity falling into his lap without any effort — of course, the director wouldn’t miss it.

After finalizing the script, Charlotte’s scenes officially started filming.

But Charlotte was just a walk-on role, and her purpose here wasn’t acting. She only uttered a single line, blended into the background, and then her part was over.

However, during filming, her mind wandered to the conversation she had with Annie Anne in the dressing room, leaving her a bit distracted.

Once filming concluded, Charlotte immediately searched for Annie Anne’s silhouette but couldn’t find it.

This led her to sigh deeply.

Charlotte could tell earlier when Annie was speaking to her, her eyes were full of guilt.

Yet similarly, Charlotte didn’t understand why Annie Anne would associate with Leon Battleson.

Annie was her best friend, but such actions undoubtedly felt like a betrayal to her.

Still, given that Annie had already approached her to apologize, Charlotte reasoned that she must be struggling internally, and felt the priority was finding Annie to clarify the situation.

"Sorry, could I ask you if you’ve seen..."

Charlotte stopped a staff member to ask about Annie’s whereabouts, but the words got stuck in her throat.

Having just fought with Annie, meeting now might lead to an awkward situation, maybe it would be better to let both of them cool down.

"Miss Thompson, do you need something?"

The staff member stopped by her looked curiously at Charlotte’s hesitance.

"Ah... nothing, sorry for bothering you."

Charlotte finally opted to shake her head and walked away.

However, due to her hesitation, Charlotte missed overhearing whispers between the staff member and his colleagues.

"Scared me to death, I was stopped by Miss Thompson just now, thought I’d messed up something at work. By the way, where were we?"

"Why does the atmosphere between Campbell Prickly and Annie Anne seem so peculiar? I just saw them heading somewhere together."

"No way, it’s just cooperation between actors, talking shouldn’t be wrong."

"But still, they wouldn’t leave together, right? I feel like Campbell’s gaze toward Annie was different."

...

The deafening music blared in the bar, Annie Anne sat alone at the counter.

She drained the glass of alcohol, the fiery liquid scorched down her throat, causing her to cough violently.

Annie couldn’t help but cover her mouth, her trembling body caught the bartender’s attention, stopping his hands.

"Miss, this is the strongest drink here, you shouldn’t drink it like this, it’ll get you drunk easily."
