Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126 

Stacey barely waited a week before Vicky called her in for a makeup test. The male lead had been locked down–Malcolm, he former co–star. 

Stacey was caught off guard for a second, but then she figured it made sense. They’d worked together on Lovey Princess for months and knew each other’s mettle. 

She thought, Just like Charlie said, Malcolm’s good–looking, can act, and isn’t afraid of hard work. What he’s been missing is just a bit of luck. Without those unspoken rules, it’s totally normal for Malcolm to ace the audition with his real skills. From now on, let’s work hard together.‘ 

As Stacey thought this through, she considered Charlie’s company. She wouldn’t be in showbiz for long and felt that if she could make Malcolm a hit before she left, it’d be a nice contribution to Charlie. 

With that, Stacey texted Vicky back. [Sure, I’ll be there tomorrow.] 

Her mother had rented a villa close to the shooting base, where the whole family now lived happily, close to the set.

Vicky replied: [Okay, see you tomorrow.] 

Stacey responded cheerfully: [Okay.] 

Just as Stacey hit send, there was a noise at the door. She looked up and saw Charlie. 

Lily and Kevin, hearing the noise, scrambled up from the rug in front of the couch and rushed toward Charlie at the door, hugging his legs like little puppies wagging their tails. 

Charlie squatted down, hugged one with each arm, and in one swift motion, lifted both kids up. 

Marie and Gwen watched anxiously, ready to catch the kids if Charlie stumbled. But Lily and Kevin were smart. As soon as Charlie picked them up, they wrapped their little arms around his head, one on each side. 

“Charlie,” Kevin and Lily called out in tandem. Kevin’s sweet voice trailed off while Lily’s voice sounded crisp and cute.

Just then, Debra came down the stairs and spotted them, quickly warning, “Chuck, don’t drop them.” 

Charlie, of course, wasn’t about to drop the kids. He carried them to the couch, gently put them down, and gave each a kiss. 

“Lily, Kevin, I’ve been gone all day. Did you miss me?” Charlie put on a serious face and asked the kids. 

“Of course,” Kevin said and nodded, his voice sweet. 

Charlie’s eyes smiled instantly, and he gave Kevin a noisy kiss on the cheek. 

“I missed you, too.” Lily, seeing him kiss Kevin and not wanting to be left out, spoke up. 

“Alright, I missed you a lot, too.” Charlie grinned and kissed Lily, clearly delighted. 

Lily reached out, still trying to snuggle into her uncle’s arms. 

Then Charlie hugged Lily. 

Kevin, not wanting to be left behind, tried to crawl over. 

ひ 

Stacey reached out and picked him up so he wouldn’t feel left out. 

Stacey leaned down and kissed Kevin, who immediately focused on his mother, beaming. 

“Mom,” Kevin said in his cute little voice. 

“Oh, my good boy,” Stacey said, praising him. 

Kevin was instantly overjoyed, hugging his mother tightly. 

“Charlie, Vicky just told me to come to the set tomorrow for a makeup test,” Stacey said, looking up at Charlie while holding Kevin. 

Charlie looked at his sister and said happily, “Yeah, I invested 20 million dollars in the production. If you need anything on set, just ask. Don’t hold back. And tell the costume and makeup department to go all out and spend when it’s needed. Don’t 

cut corners.” 

Stacey nodded in agreement. She was all for Charlie’s investment because the entertainment industry could be very lucrative. If a show was well–made and

The following day, Stacey arrived on set for her makeup and costume test, where she bumped into Malcolm.
