"You don't have to worry about us." After saying that, Shane leaned back into his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Charlotte had wanted to discuss the issue with him properly. However, she caught the double meaning in Shane's words. What did he mean when he said 'us'? Was he talking about his relationship with her, or was he talking about his relationship with Christopher? If he had meant the latter, wouldn't that mean...

Charlotte stopped herself from overthinking it. She hoped that it was just her overactive imagination messing with her. Once they got to a restaurant, the couple did not have much of an appetite to enjoy the food properly. They ate in silence.

Soon enough, night came. Charlotte sent Shane back to the villa, but did not get out of the car with Shane.

"Are you going somewhere else?" Shane frowned as he looked at her.

"I'm going to meet a friend." Charlotte shook the phone in her hand. "Call me if you need anything."

Shane watched her leave.

Charlotte hadn't been lying to Shane. She had received a phone call from Cassius, the new celebrity in the entertainment circle she had previously worked with. He hadn't been doing well lately. Although he had proven himself recently, many companies were still not optimistic about his future prospects. In other words, although he was well-known, his fandom was declining in numbers.

This was not anything unusual. In the entertainment industry, if a star encountered this kind of situation, they would get people to work on fixing the matter. However, Cassius was not one to ask other people for help, so he had a mental breakdown when he found out he couldn't fix it himself.

After he got rejected from several famous companies in the industry, his heart couldn't take it anymore...

Charlotte could only sigh as she thought about his situation. Young people these days were getting more and more erratic. In the past, all great actors had to work their fingers to the bone to get to where they were today. They had borne countless gossip about them and stood tall.

"Creak!"

Charlotte pushed a door open.

"Miss Charlotte!" Cassius raised his head and looked at her with red eyes. "I didn't know what else to do, so I called you. Can you please help me?"

"Is this about business?"

"Not exactly."
