novelxo Chapter 118 Nan, No Need to Thank Me Anymore
The sensation of tickling on her face and a tingling in her ears sent Nancy's heart racing. What was Charlie up to?
Wasn't he here to see Vivian?
Why was he flirting with her?
With hands pressed lightly against Charlie's chest, Nancy gently pushed him away, turned her face aside, and awkwardly changed the subject. "By the way, why are you here? You didn't even tell me you were coming, and you didn't respond to my messages..." Was she complaining?
Oddly enough, Charlie found he rather enjoyed her complaints.
Chuckling softly, he took a seat on a nearby couch, then casually glanced at Nancy, eyes never leaving her.
"I decided to come only after wrapping up my work. I only saw your message just before boarding the plane."
"Oh."
Nancy responded absently, then wandered around the room. When she finally came back out, she saw the couch where Charlie was sitting and heaved a long sigh.
"Looks like I'll be sleeping on the couch again."
Charlie was about to respond when Nancy suddenly brightened up.
"Hehe, but your couch seems more comfortable than my bed, so I guess it's not such a bad deal."
Watching her, Charlie couldn't help but think Nancy was easily pleased.
Yawning, Nancy walked over and pulled Charlie up from the couch. "I need to get up early tomorrow to go to the set, I need to rest."
"You're going to the set?"
Charlie turned to face her. "What about Vivian?"
Each time he said the name 'Vivian', Nancy felt a pang in her heart.
Annoyed, she shook off his hand and lay down on the couch. "I don't know. Luna said she's unavailable, so I'm filling in for her this week. If you want to see her, go find Luna." Charlie began to protest, "Nan..."
"Enough, I'm going to sleep!"
Nancy curtly cut him off, turning her back to Charlie and closing her eyes.
Charlie watched her for a moment, then fetched a blanket and draped it over her.
Nancy didn't open her eyes or say a word. She simply lay there, waiting until Charlie had tucked her in before pulling the blanket closer.
She was indeed feeling a bit upset, but then she reminded herself that Charlie and Vivian were the real couple. She was just a stand-in for the bride. Besides, the swap with. Vivian was bound to happen soon. Charlie was just trying to cultivate his relationship with his future wife.
Her emotional turmoil was somewhat bewildering even to herself.
After these thoughts, she finally spoke up. "Thank you."
Charlie, who had just lifted his foot, suddenly put it down, turned back to look at her, and seeing her lying there motionless, seemingly still ignoring him, he murmured, "Nan, no need to thank me anymore.
At his words, Nancy's emotions grew more complex. She didn't understand why Charlie had said such a thing, but it only made her heart ache more...
The next day, when Nancy arrived at the set, the assistant director led her straight to the martial arts adviser, "Matthew Turner, I'll leave Vivian in your hands. She has a lot of fighting scenes, try to teach her as much as You can, but if it's too complex, just
use a stunt double."
Nancy couldn't help but smile. She was already Vivian's stunt double, and now they were considering getting another one. Just how incapable was Vivian?
With a modest smile, she reassured the assistant director, "Don't worry, I'll work hard to learn. I'd prefer not to use a stunt double if possible."
The assistant director looked at "Vivian" with a hint of disbelief.
Just yesterday, at the film's kick-off ceremony and banquet, "Vivian" was so aloof, treating everyone except the director, the producer, and the investors with disdain. Yet today, she was so humble?
