Chapter 1416 Not Her Only One
Jerry saw the note she left for himself.
He understood Charlotte, and he also knew that he was not the only person ranked first in her contact list.
The contacts were arranged alphabetically, and if she liked someone, she'll add the character “love” in front of their name to make it easier to find them when needed.
He knew everything, but as soon as she slightly pleased him or coaxed him, he couldn't bring himself to be angry with her.
Jerry hugged her close, his head buried in the crook of her neck. “I know.”
The party went on until eleven o'clock, when Charlotte remembered that she had to return to Jadeborough for work the next day, so she left with Jerry.
The car pulled up to the hotel where they were staying, and Charlotte caught a glimpse of something as she got out of the vehicle.
She glanced across the street and happened to see a man handing the child he was holding to someone inside the car. Since the man kept his head down the whole time, Charlotte couldn't get a clear look at his full appearance even as he got into the vehicle.
Jerry saw her standing by the car without leaving and asked in surprise, “What's wrong?”
Charlotte glanced at him, and when she looked back across the street, the Cullinan car had already driven away. She didn't pay much attention to it and held onto Jerry's arm as they headed toward the hotel.
“Nothing. I might have seen it wrong.”
The next day, Charlotte returned to Jadeborough for work, while Jerry received a call from Kieron, who directed the previously wrapped-up film, asking to reshoot a few scenes. He hurried off to the film studio.
When Charlotte had free time, she would send messages to tease her boyfriend, reminding him not to get too close to the actresses on set.
After finishing her busy work, Charlotte found out that Kieron had returned to Jadeborough. She called him and invited him to have lunch at Golden Restaurant.
After entering the private room and sitting down, Charlotte exchanged pleasantries for a while before discussing the main topic with Kieron.
“A few days ago, the head of Ophelia Cosmetics' Aploth region took the initiative to call me. Their previous ambassador's contract had expired, and Scarlette fits their brand image very well. We signed a contract at Ophelia Cosmetics' branch office yesterday.”
Ophelia Cosmetics was a globally renowned makeup brand under a leading skincare group, with their ambassadors being famous A-listers.
And now, the ambassador had been replaced by Scarlette, who has just started her career in the entertainment industry.
Ophelia Cosmetics was known for their arrogance, and they had connections with numerous celebrities. Upon hearing this, Kieron believed that Ophelia Cosmetics' person in charge would not take the initiative to contact Charlotte. It was more likely that Charlotte reached out to them.
It was evident that Charlotte's persuasive skills and connections were impressive, as she managed to get a brand that only collaborates with A-listers to work with their own artists.
Kieron said, “Scarlette is lucky to have a manager like you.”
“Mutually, if she doesn't take endorsements or act in films, I won't get paid either,” Charlotte said with a raised eyebrow and a smile. “It's Scarlette's good fortune to get a role in your film. This is also the first film I've accepted on her behalf. However, having an intimate scene in her very first film isn't ideal.”
Kieron glanced at Charlotte and suddenly asked, “Are you Jerry's girlfriend?”
“If I had a boyfriend who was the best actor, I'd definitely show him off everywhere and make money through his fame by appearing on variety shows,” Charlotte shrugged. “Why would I still bother being a struggling manager?”
“Even though Jerry and I work in the same company, we rarely meet. How can you tell that we're dating?” She asked Kieron again.
Kieron took off his hat and touched his hair, saying, “A few days ago, Jerry came to me, saying that his girlfriend got jealous because she found out there's an intimate scene in his new script. He hoped that I could remove the intimate scene. His attitude was extremely stubborn. He refused to act unless the intimate scene was removed, which really frustrated me.”
Charlotte's lips curled up slightly. “I've read the script, and the intimate scenes are indeed quite bold. Even if we use a body double, the audience might still think it's real. Scarlette just signed with Ophelia Cosmetics, and when the movie is released, those explicit scenes will definitely be caught by some news magazines and talked about. It will not only affect her but also Ophelia Cosmetics.”
Charlotte paused for a moment, then said, “To be honest, showing too much skin in movies is really tacky.”
Upon hearing this, Kieron revealed a look of displeasure.
