Chapter 1345: Chapter 1345: Entering the Entertainment Industry
"It’s a secret."
The assistant immediately deflated upon hearing that and looked at Annie Anne with a pout. "Annie, you’re just like Ms. Chen now. You two know everything, and I’m the only one still curious, huh?"
"Isn’t a bit of mystery kind of nice?" Annie Anne winked at the assistant.
Seeing the assistant’s increasingly helpless expression, Annie couldn’t help but laugh.
"Alright, fine, I’ll tell you. The second male lead working with me this time is Campbell Prickly."
"Campbell Prickly? Are you serious?" The assistant exclaimed in surprise.
Standing close to Annie at that moment, the assistant failed to keep his voice down, prompting Annie to wince slightly.
"Ugh, my ears. I should’ve just kept it from you." Annie rubbed her ear with a smirk.
The assistant quickly covered his mouth apologetically and handed Annie a bottle of makeup remover.
"Oh my gosh, Campbell Prickly? Wait, isn’t he your idol, Annie?"
Annie nodded.
"I’m so jealous. You actually get to act alongside your idol." The assistant muttered in envy.
Hearing this, Annie flashed a dazzling smile at him. "I still don’t know who your idol is. Tell me! Maybe someday I’ll work with them, and I’ll make sure to snag a signed photo for you. Deal?"
The assistant had been assigned to work with Annie right after graduating from college, and due to his age, Annie often teased him playfully.
Watching Annie interact with her assistant, Charlotte Thompson, who stood nearby, couldn’t help but smile. She felt a genuine warmth inside.
The current Annie Anne was no longer the icy, indifferent person who used to react apathetically to everything.
Charlotte was genuinely happy to see Annie’s growth.
Noticing Charlotte’s gaze, Annie turned her attention toward her.
She rubbed her slightly red cheeks, irritated from removing makeup, and said apologetically to Charlotte, "Sorry for the wait. This makeup look was so heavy that cleaning it off took forever."
Charlotte shook her head, dismissing the concern, and placed the magazine she was holding back on the table before standing up from her chair.
"Actually, I think this styling suits you quite well."
"Speaking of styling, it reminds me of the time you were in the drama group acting alongside Riley Thompson."
Charlotte and Annie walked side by side. At the mention of Riley, Charlotte glanced at Annie curiously.
"Riley’s looks are so similar to yours. When I saw her in costume back then, I couldn’t help but imagine how perfect you’d look if you played that role instead."
"And when you made your first appearance in costume later on, it was absolutely stunning. The crew couldn’t stop complimenting you on how gorgeous you were."
"Oh, you’re exaggerating." Charlotte felt slightly flustered by Annie’s remarks.
"By the way, Charlotte, you really don’t plan on joining the entertainment industry? Nowadays, people from all kinds of fields are flocking here."
"Nah, I don’t have any talent for acting. I’m perfectly happy being a designer. Just like you entered this industry because you love acting, I chose fashion design because of my passion for it." Charlotte answered earnestly.
However, hearing Charlotte’s heartfelt response, Annie shook her head lightly.
