Chapter 1344: Chapter 1344: Deserving of the Title of Best New Actor, Such Great Acting Skills
"Don’t tell me, the male co-star whose role hasn’t been revealed in my new movie is actually you, Mr. Prickly?"
"That’s right. I’m the actor working opposite you." Campbell Prickly nodded.
An expression of delight instantly lit up Annie Anne’s face.
"Oh my God, I can’t believe I’m collaborating with my idol!" Annie Anne immediately clung to Charlotte Thompson’s arm, chuckling as she stood close to her.
Then Annie Anne tilted her head upward and flashed a smile at Campbell Prickly.
"Mr. Prickly, I’ve always been your fan."
Though Annie tried her best to keep her tone serious and composed, the look on her face gave her away—her genuine admiration for Campbell Prickly was unmistakable.
"I’m really looking forward to working with you, Miss Anne," Campbell Prickly said with a polite smile.
"It’s getting late. We should get going. Let’s connect when we have time."
Charlotte glanced at her wristwatch, realizing she and Annie Anne had more pressing matters to attend to, so she decided not to prolong the chat with Vincent and Campbell Prickly.
"Alright."
Vincent nodded at Charlotte, and the four of them headed off in different directions.
Once inside the car, Campbell Prickly’s expression changed dramatically. He exhaled deeply, leaned lazily against the rear seat, and gazed out through the window at the film studio outside.
"Is that the one you’re interested in?"
At these words, Vincent let out a derisive snort.
"She hasn’t even showcased any design work yet, and she’s already claiming to be your fan? A newly crowned actor indeed—your acting is top-notch."
"But her reaction was quite amusing." Campbell’s tone was languid as he spoke, seemingly toying absentmindedly with his knuckles, creating a crisp cracking sound.
Vincent shot Campbell a sidelong glance but said nothing further. Campbell, noticing this, relaxed his shoulders slightly.
"Don’t worry. I’m not like you—I don’t have much interest in that kind of woman. But..."
Campbell stroked his chin, eventually curling his lips into a faint grin.
"That Annie Anne is rather adorable."
"Oh, you mean you find her skull adorable?" Vincent replied coldly before starting the car.
Campbell furrowed his brow immediately upon hearing this. "Could you not impose your aesthetic onto others? Saying such terrifying things in such a calm tone is honestly nauseating."
This time, Vincent said nothing further and focused on driving.
...
At that moment, Annie Anne was still caught up in the excitement of having just met her idol.
"I’d tried for ages to subtly probe with my agent, but I couldn’t get any details about who I’d be partnering with. And now, I unexpectedly came face to face with them today."
Annie’s face still bore an excited smile, while her assistant was busy removing the ornaments in her hair. Hearing Annie’s remarks, the assistant grew curious.
"Annie, have you figured out who your male co-star is?"
"Wanna know?" Annie raised an eyebrow at her assistant, provoking an earnest nod from them.
Then Annie deliberately narrowed her eyes with a mysterious air and crooked a finger, prompting the assistant to lean in quickly.
And in the next moment, Annie leaned close and softly uttered two words right into the assistant’s ear.
