After she finished talking, Margaret wanted to slap herself.
D*mn it, was this too straightforward?
Margaret's face was flushing red. The arrogance she had in front of Charleston before was all gone.
Now, she only wanted to find a hole to bury herself in.
As she held her phone to her ear, feeling like a nervous wreck, there was only silence from the other end.
After what felt like forever, a faint laughter was heard from the other side.
"Finally willing to give it back after you've seen enough, hmm?"
The tone on the last word was raised slightly. It was as if there was a deathly temptation to it.
It made Margaret stumble over her words. She stammered, "What's... What's there to look at? It's just a little kid..."
"As expected, you've seen it."
Margaret was so mad that she bit her lip.
"Bring it over," said Charleston in a low voice.
"What?"
"Bring the photo over to Limbaugh Group. Or, do you plan to keep it?" Charleston seemed to be considering whether he should let her keep it or not.
Margaret's face was now a tomato-shade as she spat, "Who would want to keep this?"
"Then bring it over at three o'clock in the afternoon. I'll wait for you!" Charleston said.
Margaret hung up the phone angrily.
D*mn it, she had been cornered by this man.
Margaret took a deep breath and forced herself to shift her focus on the script. She then began to read her lines carefully.
At Limbaugh Group.
In the meeting room on the top floor.
The atmosphere in the room shifted as all the directors watched their chairman answer a phone call.
His face was previously stern and angry, but his mood abruptly changed for the better upon answering the call.
Everyone began to guess if the person on the other end was the future wife of the chairman.
"Sir, is it your...?" A bold director asked cautiously.
Normally, he would be scolded for asking that.
However, Charleston curved his lips upwards into a smile and nodded at him in a good mood.
That director suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and continued asking, "Which family is she from?"
"She's just an artist." Charleston was always in a particularly good mood when he talked about Margaret.
An artist!
Mr. Limbaugh had actually taken a fancy to an artist?
The directors who were present looked at each other in shock.
Could it be that the rumor about Mr. Limbaugh and Suanne was true?
Not bad, Suanne.
Everyone here knew about what was going on.
But even so, they will be tight-lipped about it.
...
Margaret's shooting went extremely smooth.
It was the first time that the charming little witch transformed into a human and saved a scholar.
It was a common scene.
As the cliche goes, the sly witch would fall in love with the scholar before getting together with him in the end.
Otherwise, the witch would probably be forced to turn back to her original form if they did not end up together. It was even possible that her soul would be crushed.
If it had been such a vulgar script, Margaret would never take on the role.
Even if it was against Zachary's will, she would never take it.
The most attractive thing about this script was that the witch had a special relationship with the scholar because it was her first time seeing a human being.
So, she depended heavily on the scholar.
However, the scholar was engaged to a young lady from a wealthy family.
The witch then happened to find out about the young lady whom she eventually fell in love with.
That was right!
She fell in love with her!
Instead of falling for the scholar, she fell for the young lady from the wealthy family!
Unfortunately, the young lady already had feelings for the scholar. So, the witch could only secretly protect her when the scholar went to the capital city to take his exam.
After this, the scholar was instructed by the king to marry his most beloved princess to take the title of a prince.
