Chatty Hollywood

Charlize and Charlotte were unaware that anyone was talking about them at this time.

Having said that, what can I do if I know?

Who doesn’t talk about others behind their backs, and who won’t be talked about behind their backs?

All we can do is to be ourselves.

For example now

"So, this villa belongs to you, and you're going to rent it to me, right?"

Charlize shook her head directly at Charlotte,

"Then I won't rent."

Just now, Charlotte had told her the whole ins and outs of the matter. Normally, there should be no problem, but it happened that

"..."

Looking at the girl's complicated eyes, Charlotte felt her head hurt for a moment.

He knew that this was another attack of Charlize's proximity phobia.

Even as a master of deception, Charlotte can't do anything about this problem that he has not overcome so far.

After all, it is impossible for a liar to deceive the people around him as well.

Moreover, he also understands that for some women who emphasize independence, renting their boyfriend's house cheaply will indeed give them a bad association with being a dwarf.

At the very least, if a man and a woman change places, the man who does this will definitely be called a "softie".

Fortunately, I was prepared!

Charlotte smiled slightly,

"Sally, I haven't finished speaking yet! You may have misunderstood something."

"misunderstanding?"

Charlize is confused by Charlotte;

"What's the meaning?"

"I remember I just said that even though it was a super low price, Judy still charged me one hundred thousand dollars, right?"

Charlotte shrugged.

"Do you think I have a hundred thousand dollars?"

"this……"

Charlize was stunned.

As mentioned before, in order to maintain distance, neither of them deliberately understood each other's financial situation. But judging from the information Charlize knows, it’s hard to say whether Charlotte has a hundred thousand dollars in savings.

After all, Charlize knew that Charlotte had given up on her share of The Turn;

Although the current "Happy Death Day" has exploded at the box office, Charlotte, as director and screenwriter, can get a certain share of the profits. But it will take at least a few months before we get the money.

Of course, after two movies, Charlotte still received the salary as director and screenwriter.

But the problem is that although this amount of money is not particularly small, Charlotte cannot enjoy the luxury of life, and the cost of living in Los Angeles is not small.

What's more, Charlize also heard him say that he was preparing to set up a studio with Lao Qiang and others, which seemed to require a lot of expenses...

In other words, Mr. Charlotte Booth, the hot new generation director now, is actually about the same as he was a year ago. He is still a guy with an empty wallet.

"Then where did your money come from?"

Charlize's curiosity was also aroused by Charlotte, and she temporarily forgot the awkwardness in her heart.

"Is it true that you didn't pay and you're planning to wait ten years?"

"That's not true."

Charlotte shook her head;

"I actually asked Lao Qiang to help with the advance payment."

Richard "Gun" Arsenal, Charlotte's best friend and assistant director. Because of his age, the older he does have more savings than Charlotte. especially

"...With my help, Lao Qiang has already taken out the share of "Fatal Bend" from New Line, and that money can be used to pay for the villa. Therefore."

Charlotte glanced at Charlize;

"Although this villa does belong to me now, before I pay back the money, the control rights belong to Lao Qiang. So Sally, it was not me who decided to rent the house to you, but Lao Qiang!"

"..."

Charlize knew Charlotte was telling the truth.

Lao Qiang did have the money to help advance the payment.

And because of Charlotte's friendship with him, and the fact that Charlotte will soon receive her share of "Happy Death Day", Lao Qiang should also be willing to advance the payment.

The question is, does this make sense?

Would Jodie Foster, who originally sold the villa to Charlotte at a super low price just to repay a favor, mind waiting a few more months for his share to be paid before paying the bill?

Obviously not.

Charlize knew why Charlotte went through so much trouble.

"……does it worth?"

After a long silence, the girl bit her lip and asked.

"worth!"

At this time, it was obviously impossible for Charlotte to give any other answer. His emotional intelligence is not that low yet.

"...Then let's go in and take a look!"

In the end, Charlize acquiesced to Charlotte's solution and let go of her embarrassment.

As for the two of them going from looking at the house to "trial living" and checking the strength of the floor and stairs, that's a story for another day.

During this period, thanks to the previous landlord Judy having moved all the furniture, Charlize was not moved and accidentally broke the agreement she had made before.

"I'll help you move your things here tomorrow!"

Lying on the floor, Charlotte gasped and said to Charlize, who was still in a dazed state next to her.

The girl did not answer immediately. For a long time

"You accompany me to see my mother tomorrow, okay?"

Shocking!

*********

"Isn't it too early for you to go see her mother in your current situation?"

Lao Qiang took a sip of beer and analyzed Charlotte with a frown.

When encountering such a big event, of course you have to find some seniors in life who have experienced the same thing to ask for their experience.

As soon as Charlotte sent Charlize home, she went straight to Lao Gun's residence.

Fortunately, Lao Qiang’s girlfriend Annika is not here this time.

Lao Qiang calmly received the guy who had just borrowed $100,000 from him.

However, the calm only lasted for a while

After listening to Charlotte's description, Lao Qiang, who was drinking canned beer, sprayed out.

Then there are the words above.

Although he didn't know anything about ghosts, Lao Qian still saw the relationship between Charlize and Charlotte. He also heard Charlotte talk about the girl's "closeness phobia"...

"I always feel that this matter will not be as simple as we thought!"

"Don't worry, it won't be easy!"

Charlotte smiled bitterly.

Thinking of the look in Charlize's eyes that was full of expectation and fear, mixed with relief and helplessness after he said those words, he was already convinced.

This "meeting with parents" is definitely not normal!

So, the next day, when Charlotte followed Charlize to their destination, he easily accepted this unexpected but reasonable location.

Malcolm Sanitarium!

Well, at least it's not Arkham!

Charlotte, who saw through the nature of the mental hospital here in an instant, thought helplessly.

"Did you guess it before?"

Seeing Charlotte's unusually calm expression, Charlize, who had been nervous before arriving, couldn't help but ask.

"A little bit!"

Charlotte shrugged.

"and you"

Looking at Charlize's increasingly tense expression, Charlotte couldn't help but smile.

He gently stroked the girl's forehead with his hand,

"As a person who can exorcise demons and catch ghosts, I like girls like you who can bring me trouble!"

"..."

Charlize's tense expression finally relaxed;

"Charlotte, it seems you are an American after all!"

"What's the meaning?"

"I like to seek death!"

"..."
