Chapter 1016

Vermont wanted to defend himself, but after thinking about it, he realized that all his exes fit Felicity’s description.

So, he said, “Well, that’ll just be a bonus on top.”

Felicity glowered at him. “What a playboy!”

Vermont chuckled. “Isn’t this a double standard? Don’t you watch short videos of guys showing off their abs too? You like people with good figures just like me.”

“How am I like you? I’m only watching them for inspiration, but you actually get your hands on them!”

The edge of Vermont’s mouth twitched. “You looked at those men’s abs for inspiration? What kind of script are you writing?”

Felicity put on a scornful look. “Are you implying that I write erotic stuff? I’m only watching those videos to sharpen my observational skills, okay?”

She continued proudly, “I’ll tell you what. My new script’s opening has been accepted, and they said they’re going to sign the contract once I finish the entire script and there are no problems with it!”

Vermont felt happy too when he saw the excited look on her face. Then, he asked, “What is the story about?”

“It’s a workplace drama.” Felicity smiled as she spoke. “It mainly focuses on doctors. To be honest, Doctor Steven gave me a lot of inspiration and things to write about.”

The smile on Vermont’s face slowly faded away. “I see,” he said nonchalantly before adding, “It’s better not to write about professions like doctors that require a lot of specialized knowledge. You can make a mistake very easily. There are just too many workplace dramas that ended up badly in recent years.”

Felicity was not worried at all. “Doctor Steven agreed to be my professional consultant. I can just ask him if I’m faced with any difficulties or issues related to the profession.”

“Is the main character based on him?”

“Ah. Doctor Steven is already a deputy chief doctor despite his young age. I couldn’t think of any other people who have a better story to write about.”

The look on Vermont’s face looked worse. “I owned a few companies despite my young age too. Why don’t you write about me instead? Being an entrepreneur is so much more interesting than being a doctor.”

Felicity swept her gaze across him. “You? I’ve thought about it too, but you looked too much like a playboy. I would think of your countless ex girlfriends whenever I try to write something about you.

People nowadays prefer a loyal protagonist. You and your eventful love life made it impossible for you to be a male lead in a modern drama.”

Vermont frowned. “Playboy?”

“Yeah. Just like a waiter in the Sapphire Clubhouse who has a seductive face that constantly wants to lure women into his bed.”

Vermont kept quiet for a moment before he said, “Are you calling me a gigolo?”

Felicity immediately said, “You said that yourself, not me.”

Vermont’s face darkened. Tm not a fucking gigolo!’

Felicity realized that she might have gone too far with the way she described him after seeing Vermont’s upset expression. So, she quickly shook his arm and said, “Come on, don’t be angry. I just couldn’t find the right word to describe you. You’re actually pretty attractive. However, you just happen to give off a vibe of being a playboy who sleeps around with women and then dumps them.”

Vermont did not know what to say. “Thanks, but you’re not making me feel any better.”

Felicity could not help but laugh out loud after seeing his furrowed brow and unhappy expression.

Vermont glowered at her. “You still have the nerve to laugh?”
