Chapter 1468
Anthony used to take care of her the same way, cooking for her and washing the dishes for her.
Sadly...
Her eyes dulled as she massaged her temples.
Why was she thinking of that fool again?!
Charmine turned away to look at her script instead.
After he finished washing the plates, Maurice sat before Charmine hushedly. His dark eyes studied her.
He liked this young lady a lot. She was like his next-door neighbor, the pure and innocent kind, and he had this desire to protect her.
It baffled him as to why people online would hate her so much. She was nowhere close to what they portrayed her to be!
She was, in fact, a soft-hearted, kind, and almost adorable woman.
Charmine could feel his burning gaze on her, so she looked at him and fell into his dark eyes.
"Mr. Lukas..." hesitated Charmine. "What's wrong?"
Maurice looked away and gently replied, "I think you're adorable."
"Mmh?" Charmine blinked.
Adorable? Was he deluded or something?
Not once was she called 'adorable' ever since she was born. i
"Why are you so shocked?" questioned Maurice.
Charmine said, "This is the first time anyone has called me that," confessed Charmine, inducing Maurice’s pity.
He somehow understood her more.
Thinking he might have grazed an old wound of hers, he dropped the matter and instead said, "How’s the script going?"
"This part." Charmine circled it and showed it to him. "I think
I can change it this way."
Maurice looked at it and nodded. "Yeah, you can."
With that, he added another sentence for her and said, "This will bring out your charisma, and they’ll like your personality even more.”
"What about Gem?"
Charmine wanted to have him call her Charmine, but he called out her name from the show.
Her name on the show was Gem Clarke. The male lead would eventually call her Gem after they began dating in the show.
Charmine blinked and said, "Okay."
It did not matter what he called her. 'Gem' sounded nice, and it would rile up the fans all the more, too, increasing their popularity as well as the show's!
Maurice nodded, and they both continued discussing the scripts.
They went through most bits up until three that morning. By then, Charmine was exhausted, so she stood up to leave.
Maurice walked her out of his room and said gently, "Thank you for working so hard tonight. Go and get some rest.
Goodnight."
Startled for a moment, Charmine then smiled and said," Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
