Although what Charles said was convincing, Sylvia suddenly thought of something. "No, you just said that your relationship with Vana is unusual. Tell me, what's your relationship? It's true that there're rumors about the two of you, but I absolutely don't believe that an old man who has been single for more than 40 years will be subdued by Vana. Let me guess, you two... Is it the relationship between illegitimate brother and sister?"
Sylvia cast a curious glance at Vana and Charles. When Vana saw that Charles was looking at her, Vana pretended not to see him and look away. She thought that Charles wouldn't reveal her relationship with Bill. After all, although Bill was the boss of this company, Bill couldn't be known to anyone. So how would Charles explain the relationship between the two of them?
"Well, Vana is my relative, and she is very close to me. You don't have to ask about it. Tell me about tonight's arrangement. Didn't you say that you wanted to introduce Vana to the director of Film Production Center of M Country? There happened to be several stars from H Country who had cooperated with that director at the dinner party. I wonder if he can help take care of Vana."
Hearing what Charles said, Sylvia immediately asked, "You mean Jeremy, right? I remember that some time ago, there was a lot of news on the Internet about the scene of Jeremy in 'The Cyborg Returns'. But why is there no news about it these days? Is his part cut?"
Charles shook his head. "I don't know. I haven't contacted Jez for a long time."
At the mention of Jeremy, the expression on Charles's face became complicated. Vana didn't know what had happened between them, so she couldn't ask too much.
However, since he could talk about this with Sylvia, Charles wanted Sylvia to help him figure out a way in this respect.
So after thinking for a while, Sylvia said, "I can try to talk to Jeremy. After all, I have cooperated with him in two movies. But if Jeremy's scenes are really cut by them, it means that they have conflicts with Jeremy. In that case, even Jeremy can't do anything about it."
Charles showed a grateful expression. Then he looked at Vana, "Then get ready. Tonight is your night."
Vana's eyebrows twitched. She was flattered, "Really? You set it up for me?"
It seemed that it was inconvenient for Charles to answer this question. Soon he pushed the arm of Vana, "Well, I won't disturb Ms. Sylvia before the banquet. Let's go out and talk about the bet between you and the two little famous stars. Barbara has given me an update on the situation. I don't know if you can solve it by yourself."
As soon as she heard that Charles was going to tell her about the bet, Vana quickly went back to her lounge with Charles.
Vana's assistants seldom met Charles. This time, when they saw Charles come to their office, they all restrained their excitement and hid in one office to peep outside. After Amy served two cups of coffee to Charles and Vana, Charles turned around from looking around the room.
"Not bad. If you need anything, just tell Barbara. I'll arrange for her to buy it for you."
