My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul novel Chapter 1776

Charles asked, "Why?"

His face darkened.

The director replied, "A friend of mine gave me a heads-up about some potential issues with Thelma. Some hidden problems haven't come to light yet, but they could harm our project once they do. I know she's one of your studio's celebrities, but since she's one of your first signings, you might not be fully aware of the risks behind the scenes.

"You can terminate her contract if you want. Also, there have been a lot of negative rumors about her recently. If there's truth to them, it's hard for us to trust her."

Charles' voice dropped as he asked, "Who told you this?"

If the director had paid closer attention to Charles' expression, he would have noticed the anger simmering beneath Charles' expression.

Not far away, Thelma was heading to find her makeup artist when the crew informed her that her makeup artist wouldn't be coming. Moreover, there were no scenes scheduled for her today.

She froze, confused. How could she not have any scenes? She'd prepared thoroughly, memorizing her lines before arriving on set.

Then, she caught sight of Charles speaking with the director, and realization struck. The color drained from her face.

Just half an hour ago, she had promised Charles she would take her career seriously—that when people mentioned her as Charles' girlfriend, they wouldn't see her as a burden.
