Chapter 234
Charlie took the beer from her and smiled. âVickyâs stomach isnât feeling well lately. She canât drink, so
Iâll do it for her.â i
Everyone smiled ambiguously after hearing that.
âThereâs not a problem with that, butâ¦why do you need to drink it for her? Who are you to her?â
âThatâs right. Why didnât you drink it for me when I had to drink it just now?â
âHey, arenât you playing favorites?!â
Everyone took the chance to make all kinds of jokes. Someone even said it directly, âCharlie, donât tell
me you like Miss Shaw?â
Vicky got along pretty well with them, so these jokes were acceptable. However, it was quite awkward
and ambiguous for Charlie to help her drink when everyone was around.
Vicky furrowed her brow and looked where Tyler was. He did not seem to pay attention to her side and
continued to look at his phone with a straight face.
She looked away and back at Charlie to reject his offer. âThanks, but Iâll do it. Itâs just a glass of beer. I
can drink it myself.â
Charlie avoided her hand and said in a low voice, âYou had gastric for eating raw food yesterday
morning. This beer is very strong. I donât know if youâll able to work tomorrow if you drink this.â
He looked at her beautiful profile and added, âYou know how strict Director Fallon, Director Lumber,
and the other producers are with this movie. If you canât work tomorrow because of my birthday
celebration, Iâll be the sinner of the entire production team.â 1
Yesterday morning, Vickyâs stomach was indeed in pain after eating raw food with Charlie. Charlie was
there and saw it. He even took the liberty to get her some medicines.
Vicky was relieved to hear him say that.
She furrowed her brows and said, âButâ¦â
Charlie gave her a comforting look and smiled. âVicky is my friend. If I donât help her, who will? Sheâs
not really from the industry and is a bad drinker. If she drinks this and affects the progress of the
shooting, everyone will have to suffer miserably when Director Fallon and Director Lumber find out
tomorrow.â
This was not the first time Vicky was engaged with a production team. However, this was her first time
working together with the production team. It was true that she was not from their circle.
Everyone grumbled in dissatisfaction at what Charlie said but did not insist. Soon, they started the
game again. When the arrow was pointing at Vicky, Charlie would always be there to help her drink.
Luckily, there were many participants in the game, so Vickyâs turn lasted three times.
During the break, she got an excuse to get fresh air out of the room.
The hallway of the club was very grand, and many people were going up or down. The sound of girls
giggling and men sweetly cooing came from a few rooms that did not have their doors shut tightly.
Vicky never enjoyed this environment. This extravagant life did not suit her.
On the observation deck, Vicky had her hands on the cold rail as she looked at the quiet night.
âVicky,â Charlieâs voice came from behind. âI knew youâd be here.â
Vicky looked back at Charlie, who was approaching her slowly, and was shocked. âWhy are you here?â
Charlie smiled. âI come out to take some fresh air too.â
At this moment, she recalled how he thoughtfully drank her portion of the alcohol during their Truth or
Dare session. âThank you for drinking for me.â
âWeâre friends. You donât have to thank me,â replied Charlie lightheartedly.â Iâd do the same if it was
other people, too.â
Vicky felt a gentle wave of warmth upon hearing his response. âYou should drink less. Itâs bad for your
health to drink excessively.â
Charlieâs smile grew. âAlright. Iâll take note of it.â
The wind blew and it was slightly cold. After standing for quite some time, Vicky was starting to feel
cold, 1
Charlie sensed this and took off his jacket to put it on Vickyâs shoulder.
âPut it on. Donât catch a cold.â
