Chapter 1262: Chapter 1262: Who is the Other Female Lead?
"Charlotte, I really appreciate your help."
Seeing Olivia Thompson on camera, Annie Anne curved her lips gently and spoke to Charlotte Thompson.
Initially, Annie Anne would have been able to go home and be with Olivia after finishing the shoot, but now this social engagement had come up, and she had no idea what time she’d be able to return home.
The thought of her work getting back on track and Olivia having no one to take care of her at her place made Annie think it would be better for Charlotte to take Olivia back home again.
"What trouble? I just didn’t expect you to dive back into work so soon," Charlotte shook her head, but her voice held a hint of reproach as she spoke, picking up on something in Annie’s words.
"Your injury hasn’t completely healed, and you’re already running around everywhere. I always thought I was a workaholic, but now it seems you’ve become the same."
"It’s just that I’ve been idle for too long, I don’t want to live like that anymore. Besides, I think Annie will be happier with the other kids," Annie Anne replied point by point, "but it does mean more work for you."
"You’re the lucky one, having me take Annie with me while you get to be hands-off. Despite saying that, Charlotte’s tone was devoid of any resentment, and her grip on Olivia’s hand tightened even more.
"It’s just that your neighborhood is so expensive. To buy a house next to you and be your neighbor costs a significant amount of money. If I don’t work hard, who will?"
Annie Anne muttered, "But who knows, maybe one day I’ll suddenly quit the entertainment industry and come running to you for refuge."
"Sure, I’ll welcome you anytime," Charlotte nodded to Annie Anne.
The two exchanged smiles over the phone.
Then Charlotte handed the phone to Olivia Thompson, who held it in both hands and softly spoke to Annie Anne on the video.
"Mommy, you need to take care of yourself. The doctor said you can’t do any vigorous exercise, you have to be careful with your injuries."
Olivia’s milky voice softened Annie Anne’s heart, and she quickly nodded to her.
"Mommy will be careful. I promise not to make my sweet Annie worry. But you too need to behave and not trouble your Mommy Charlotte, okay?"
Annie Anne said with a smile, softening her voice considerably.
"Annie will be good, don’t worry mommy," Olivia nodded her head dutifully.
"Such a good girl," Annie Anne smiled with relief.
"By the way, I still don’t know what drama you’re acting in this time?" asked Charlotte, suddenly curious as she walked.
"It’s a fantasy drama, and it has two female leads," Annie Anne thought for a moment and replied seriously.
Hearing this, Charlotte grew even more curious: "Two female leads? Who’s the other one?"
But this was something Annie Anne did not know.
"Maybe I’ll meet her at the social engagement tonight."
"I remember you never used to attend those things. Why are you going this time?"
Charlotte knew Annie Anne’s character and habits well. When she first received a call from Annie mentioning that she had a social engagement and couldn’t come home early to take care of Olivia, Charlotte found it somewhat puzzling.
Annie Anne’s eyes flickered before she replied with a smile: "After all, this is the first project I’ve taken on since recovering from the injury. I have to prove myself to the producer and the investors."
