Chapter 240


    Chapter 240


    The car arrived at the underground car park of the hotel. Before they got out of the car, however, Jules


    took a look at their surroundings. Upon confirming there were no reporters in the car park, she told


    Vicky and Charlie, ‘You can get off now.’


    Charlie got off first.


    When Vicky was getting out of the car, a water bottle was sent flying toward her. ‘You b*tch! How dare


    you seduce Charlie, you shameful person?!”


    Before the water bottle could hit Vicky, Charlie quickly rushed to her side and enveloped her in his


    arms.

    Thump! The water bottle mmed against Charlie’s back.


    It was then Jules spotted Charlie’s maniacal fans in the car park and said quickly, ‘Go! I’ll stop them!’


    Charlie and Jules had gotten used to this sort of emergency. Thus, Charlie did not hesitate and pulled


    Vicky away from the car park.


    Vicky’s phone almost died because people were calling her nonstop after the news. First, it was Cece,


    followed by Jennifer and Mister Kirby.


    She had her heated phone in her hands while sitting by the window and said helplessly, ‘The


    production team had booked the entire hotel. All staff and actors are staying here. Isn’t it normal for us


    to leave for work ande back together after work?”


    “Do I need to suppress the news for you?” asked Mister Kirby, his deep voiceing from the other


    end.


    “No. Since everyone knows it now, suppressing it is no different from covering it up. It’ll only make me


    look guilty, if anything. The production team ising up with a solution with Charlie’s agency. I don’t


    think it’s a big problem.’


    Mister Kirby did not insist on the matter upon hearing this. “Alright. Call me when you need help.”


    She expressed her gratitude to him and hung up the phone.


    After looking at the time, she decided to go to the production team and asked about the progress. It


    was better for her and Charlie to clear the air as soon as possible.


    Although Charlie was not an A-list celebrity, he had been in many ssic movies and was never


    involved in any scandal. The response he got because of this scandal was extremely high.


    She arrived at the meeting room. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard Charlie’s voice


    through the gap because the door was not shut tightly.


    “No! It’ll affect Vicky too much. I don’t agree with it.”


    Jules said in a hurry, “Don’t you get it, Charlie? Your exposure increased after this breaking news. You


    were never involved in other scandals before. Your fans are willing to ept the fact that you have a


    girlfriend. Some even like the idea that you’re with Vicky.”


    “This will affect Vicky’s life,” refuted Charlie.


    “Charlie, I know you’ve been in many trending movies and your acting skill is exceptional, but…have


    you thought of why you just can’t improve and move up the level? I know you hate publicity stunts, but


    you should know how the industry works. Hard work is just not enough.”


    Jules tried everything she could to persuade him.


    “Director Lumber and Director Fallon had said it too. It’s a good thing for us to have this news at this


    time. Your name is all over the streets now, and we can use this to help publicize the movie. There’s no


    harm in it.


    “If you can’t get over it, then it’s not toote to make a deration after filming is done. I mean, Miss


    Shaw will still have to work together with the production team anyway. Don’t worry about her. The


    production team will talk with her-‘ i


    “I will never agree to this,” interjected Charlie curtly, firm in his stance. “I will never use my friend to do a


    publicity stunt just so I get my name out.”


    “Charlie…”


    “Don’t try to persuade me. If you guys won’t rify this matter, I’ll do it on my social media ount


    tonight.”


    Vicky did not knock on the door as conflict brewed in her chest.


    In the end, she left quietly.


    That night, Charlie posted a long rification post and tagged a few friends as well as staff members of


    the production team. Due to his peopleperson personality, those he tagged also posted the photos they


    took in the hotel and photos, together with the production team, to prove Vicky and Charlie were just


    friends.


    No one expected it to be fake news in the end, and it definitely brought disappointment to many people.


    The post dropped ranks from being the top of the trending list before eventually vanishing from the list


    entirely.
