Chapter 1356 I Am Cheap
Charlotte slammed the cleansing cream onto the table, standing up straight and confronting him, “Do you want to argue with me? Even for my own benefit, I would never sell my body. It's because of him...”
Although Charlotte was a bit fickle, she had an open and honest relationship with each of her exes.
What's wrong with lovers enjoying intimate moments together?
Her boyfriend devoted time to accompany her and pamper her, while she provided him with financial support. Throughout their relationship, she was wholeheartedly committed to her boyfriend, and when they broke up, it was clear and amicable.
Both sides are putting effort into this relationship, which is a far cry from the differences between being a sugar baby or a client.
Facing the man's mocking gaze, she didn't continue speaking.
She really hates that look in his eyes!
Charlotte was furious and resentful, speaking bluntly and without restraint, “What right do you have to look down on me? Weren't you the one who used to be with me for money, offering your body in exchange?”
Joash, standing far away, felt relieved that the photographer had left early. Otherwise, if these moments were captured and shared, it would be a disaster.
He quickly took out his earphones from his pocket, put them on, and started listening to music, no longer paying attention to their conversation.
Jerry stared at her, and after a moment, he sneered, “Yeah, I'm cheap.”
He picked up the phone on the table and fiddled with it for a few moments.
Upon hearing the notification sound, Charlotte instinctively glanced at her phone and discovered that he had transferred some money to her bank account.
Before Charlotte could speak, Jerry said, “Don't worry about preparing formal attire for me, I won't wear it. Joash said that because we're on someone else's turf, and he doesn't want you guys to be embarrassed.”
Jerry pulled Charlotte away and stood up, ready to leave.
Realizing her mistake, Charlotte grabbed his wrist and noticed how cold he was. She quickly said, “That's not what I meant earlier...”
Jerry carefully pried her fingers open one by one and strode toward the door.
Joash hurried over and stuffed the items the performer had dropped into his backpack. At the same time, he asked Charlotte, “Ms. Benson, do you want me to take you home?”
“No need.” Charlotte irritably scratched her head, feeling uncomfortable just thinking about the man's gaze.
It was clearly him who mocked her first, and she only said that because she was furious.
Charlotte handed the cup of coffee to Joash, “This coffee costs fifty bucks a cup, but I don't really like coffee, so I'll give it to you to enjoy.”
“All right, thank you!” Joash said as he carried his coffee away.
It was almost noon when Charlotte left the building. She found a small eatery and had a quick bite to eat. By one in the afternoon, she had returned to the production company.
She hasn't been exposed to the film and television industry, so there's really so much for her to learn.
Charlotte was so busy in her private office that she almost lost track of time. It wasn't until her reminder alarm went off that she remembered she had to meet the producer of “Adam's Garden” that evening.
Charlotte hurriedly tidied up, applied her lipstick, and drove to the 'Jazona Clubhouse.'
This is one of the top high-end clubs in Jadeborough, designed in the style of a traditional courtyard house. Hidden away in an alley, it offers exceptional privacy and is a popular spot frequented by high-ranking officials and distinguished individuals.
Charlotte had already learned about Brody's private room from Kieran, and she had been to Jazona Clubhouse quite a few times before.
After entering the club, she confidently made her way to the private room.
After knocking and entering, Charlotte immediately recognized Lin, the producer, among seven or eight people. She walked up with a smile and greeted him.
“Hello Mr. Lohan, I heard you were dining here, so I came over to say hi.”
As soon as she entered the room with the heating on, she took off her coat. Underneath, she wore a black knitted dress that reached the top of her thighs, and a pair of beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings.
She pinned up her head full of red hair, and the tassel earrings on her earlobes shimmered with iridescent colors under the light. She looked dignified and elegant.
Brody glanced at Charlotte twice, and after greeting her, he invited her to sit in the seat next to him. There was a coat draped over the back of the chair, which seemed to belong to Brody.
Charlotte perched on half of the chair, trying her best not to touch the clothes behind her.
In the private room, there were more men than women, all of them being directors and producers from the same circle. Their gazes occasionally fell on Charlotte, who pretended to be clueless and innocent.
She had been immersed in the world of the second generation for many years. What kind of tricks hadn't she seen before?
