The next few days passed uncventfully.
call, inviting licr to il party at a bar named No
On Friday afternoon, Charlotte gave Genevieve Man’s Land.
Genevieve, after getting a change of clothes, headed over after work, expecting Charlotte to have something to discuss.
Since going to the bar was a rare occasion for her, Genevieve recalled the last time she went there was with Johanna and Jermaine. Subscquently, they joined Cooper and the others in a private, room and played truth or dare.
As Armand had previously invested in the bar, ownership of it had naturally transferred to Cooper.
Charlotte, who loved to party. was never short of socialitcs and rich playboys in her entourage, even the lounge she reserved was in the most conspicuous part of the bar.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt the sight of Genevieve, Charlotte flailed her arms to welcome the former. “Genevieve, over here!”
After letting loose on the dancefloor for a while, the group headed into a private room to sing and continue drinking. In the midst of their merry-making, Charlotte pulled Genevieve aside.
“Genevieve, how much does it cost to buy out one of your actor’s contracts?”
Genevieve took a sip of her cocktail. “Why are you asking?”
Giving her arm a tug, Charlotte revealed, “The deputy CEO of Vitric Entertainment is a close friend of my dad’s. Thus, I plan to sign Bruce over to his company.”
Genevieve knew Charlotte’s character well and was aware of how relentless the latter could be in the pursuit of whatever she wanted. A man was no exception to her.
Considering the history of Charlotte’s relationships, her interest in Bruce was probably just temporary
With a darkening gaze, Genevieve casually replied, “I spent a princely amount when I first signed Bruce over. As a result, the price to buy out his contract is similar to that of Sylvie’s which is a nine-figure sumn.”
“That’s a lot!” Charlotte was caught by surprise.
After giving the matter some thought, Charlotte raised lier cocktail glass and clinked it with Genevieve’s. “Genevieve, since we’re friends, I’ll reimburse you whatever you paid for Bruce, not a penny less. After that, I’ll tell my dad to look out for Specter Corporation while your company relcases Bruce from his contract. How about that?”
Even though Charlotte had a huge allowance and could easily get more from her father just by cajoling him, the latter would never agree to pay such an outrageous sum just for an actor.
Swirling her cocktail glass, Genevieve remarked in resignation, “The company isn’t minc alone, as there are many more shareholders. Even if I wanted to help you on the account of our
friendship, they would definitcly relusc. Ms. Benson, if you rcally like Bruce, what difference does it make if you ask him out?”
“But he’s ignoring me.” Leaning dejecically into the couch, she grumbled, “Just the other day when you invited him out to the art exhibition for me, he made in cxcuse after a few minutes and left.”
Since it was common knowledge low rich and generous Charlotte was, many clamored to be invited to her parties, On top of that, she was never short of suitors.
Unfortunately, only Bruce paid no liced to her.
Even during their visit to the art exhibition, she dropped her father’s name on purpose so that he could tell her his demands. Unexpectedly, her implicit offer was haughtily snubbed by him.
That was the genesis of her intention to sign Bruce over to Vitric Entertainment. As an employce, he would have no choice but to obey hier.
Upon hearing her words, Genevieve felt an inexplicable sense of relief. “There are plenty of actors in the entertainment industry. If he isn’t interested in you, why don’t you find one who is?”
Charlotte snorted. “Is there anyone else who could come close to him?”
Truth be told, Genevieve shared her sentiments.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCharlotte, fiddling with her hair, suggested all of a sudden, “I have a feeling that he’s playing hard to get. By the time I’m hopelessly enamored with him, he’ll give in to me and that’s when I’ll return the favor to him for a few months.”
Genevieve almost choked on her cocktail when she heard the words.
She wondered how many relationships Charlotte had actually been in to gain such an insight into men.
At the sight of Genevieve’s shocked expression, Charlotte suggested with a smile, “Look, you agree with my speculation, don’t you? He has truly captured my heart and made me feel as if I’m hopelessly in love.”
Genevieve was rendered speechless.
“Genevieve, why don’t you give him a call?” Charlotte gave Genevieve’s arm a lug. “Invite him over to join us.”
Genevieve wiped the corners of her mouth witli a napkin. “Are you really that attracted to him?”
Charlotte nodded.
“Since he’s so irresistible to the extent of having you mesucrized, have you ever wondered why would Coco cheat on such a perfect man?”
