A Film Queen

Chapter 394

Charlie watched her approaching, his gaze darkening slightly. He spoke up, “Can you tell me what exactly happened yesterday? How did you rescue that white shark? A white shark’s status in the ocean is like that of a lion in the forest-it’s not easily tamed by humans. So, what did you do? Also, there must have been a mother shark nearby. How did you manage to get away?”

He spoke gently and his voice was calm, but his questions were sharp and hitting the mark. His strong presence and pressure made it hard to look away from his plain face.

“Mmm…” Milly pressed her lips together in silence. “You’ve thrown a lot of questions at me all at once. I’m not sure where to start.”

Charlie’s gaze remained cold and carried an air of insistence. “Then let’s start with the simplest question: how did you rescue that little white shark yesterday?”

Although he asked it as a question, it seemed he already had everything figured out, his eyes filled with certainty.

Milly blinked, tilted her head, and smiled at him, half- playfully saying, “They say it’s give and take. You suddenly ask me so many questions-what’s in it for me if I answer?”

Most people would simply walk away from such an unreasonable request, choosing not to respond.

But Charlie seemed determined to get to the bottom of things, his gaze firm. “Okay, what do you want?”

Milly blinked, glanced at a distant camera still emitting a red light, then suddenly stopped and leaned close to his ear. She whispered softly, “I’ll answer one question if you give me a kiss. Deal?”

Her voice was barely audible, its warmth brushing against his ear, causing a rush of warmth that made his heart skip a beat. At that moment, it felt like all the colours in the world had faded, leaving only the person in front of him.

“You…” He was about to say something when suddenly the calm sea surface erupted into turmoil.

“Aoaoao!” The sounds of sharks echoed closer, approaching rapidly towards them.
