Chapter 1773
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Vermont let out a sigh. âIf I did that and they turned into hits, she wouldnât believe itâs because of her great scripts. Sheâd think itâs just my connections. She might appear to be a tough person, but she actually lacks confidence in her work.â
Devin quipped, âWhy do you treat your girlfriend like sheâs your daughter?â
âHah!â Vermont couldnât help but boast, âWhen you find someone as compliant and gentle as her, you canât help but spoil them.â
Devin grinned and displayed a phone number on his phone.â Hereâs my associateâs number. You can send her scripts to him. Heâs working on some light web dramas. Itâs a good chance to see how things go.â
Vermont saved the number, cautioning, âMake sure to give him a heads-up. We wonât accept low offers.â
Devin laughed. âWhat a money-minded guy you are!â
After dinner, Vermont carried Felicityâs small backpack and escorted her out of the restaurant. âTime to head home, Your Highness.â
As Felicity stumbled, she asked, âWhereâs Devin? I need to ask him something.â
âSheâs using his first name now that sheâs a bit tipsy?â
Vermont felt a twinge of jealousy. âHe left. What did you want to ask him?â
âI wanted to ask himâ¦â Felicity scrunched her face in thought. âWhat was I going to ask⦠hmmâ¦â
She tapped the back of her head and then looked up, saying, âI remember now. I need to ask him about writing intimate scenes.â
Vermont was surprised by Felicityâs request.
Suddenly on high alert, he asked, âWhy do you want to ask him about that?â
âI want him to teach me.â
âAre you serious?â Vermontâs voice rose involuntarily. Seeing others glancing their way, he gritted his teeth and spoke softly, âWerenât you just criticizing those art films with sensual scenes? Why the sudden interest in writing them?â
Felicity frowned. âI donât want to, but thatâs how those films win awards. I want to achieve something too.âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
Vermont wore an incomprehensible expression. Her thought process, especially after getting drunk, was beyond him.
Taking a deep breath, he said, âNot all award-winning films have those scenes. Youâre not thinking clearly.â
Felicity tilted her head, thinking. Just when Vermont thought she might abandon the idea, she said, âI still want to learn, just in case. What if I need to write them in the future? I wonât do it well without any experience.â
Vermont was speechless.
He then held Felicity close and whispered softly in her ear,â Experience comes with practice.â
Felicity looked at him with a blank expression and nodded, saying, âThat makes sense.â
Vermontâs eyes brightened. âMaybe nowâs my chance?â
But then, Felicity remarked, âI need to go somewhere.â
Vermont smiled. âAre you feeling hungry?â
Felicity pushed his hand away. âI want to find some male escorts and observe them. Whatâs the going rate these days? How much do you think it costs to hire them for a night?â
Vermontâs lips twitched.
âSo thatâs her plan, huh?
My girlfriend has always been innocent and pure. She must have picked this up from Stella Hall!â
Vermont thought to himself.
âCome on, letâs go!â Felicity was excited as she dragged him along.
Vermont gritted his teeth and pulled her back. âHiring one male escort could cost you around a hundred thousand for a night. How many are you thinking of hiring?â
Felicityâs eyes widened. âA hundred thousand? Thatâs expensive!â
Vermont tried to mask his bitterness. âItâs a risky job, especially with the strict laws now. I think a hundred thousand is reasonable.â
Felicity started to feel uncertain.
As a scriptwriter, she didnât earn a substantial amount, and a hundred thousand in Hustuabourgian currency was beyond her means.
Then, Vermont leaned in and whispered, âBut there are also some available for free. Interested?â
Felicity frowned. âWhere can you find free ones?â
