Semua Bab My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back: Bab 171 - Bab 180

The show began.In the beginning, things were relatively okay. Charlotte took a deep breath, and when she reached the front of the stage, some audience members in the front row left after seeing that she wasn't Jessica. The expressions of the actors sharing the stage with her became increasingly unpleasant.Charlotte maintained her pace, neither too fast nor too slow. The plot progressed, but so did the departure of the audience."What kind of performance is this? It's far worse than Jessica's!""They're promoting newcomers? I'm speechless!""Can you guys keep it down? Just watch the play. Stop making a fuss!"The audiences for stage plays were divided in their reactions to actors. Some focused solely on the quality of the play and acting, while others had developed habits of following a particular actor, refusing to accept any others.Unfortunately, the audience for 'Looking West to the Capital' fell into the latter category. Only one or two out of ten were casual viewers. The

The group led by Suzanne originally had seventeen members, but now only six remained.One was a makeup artist named Daisy Kruger, who had been slapped by Jessica before. At that time, Suzanne had stood up for her, which had wholly offended Jessica. Grateful to Suzanne, this young woman chose to stay.The remaining five consisted of four interns and one woman who usually had a minor role. The woman in the minor role was named Lucy Barber, a beautiful girl with long hair who was quite gentle.As soon as they closed the door to the room, Suzanne sat in a corner, feeling sad and unable to accept the changes. Meanwhile, the interns cleaned up the place.Lucy calmly counted the crew and joked, "If we perform 'Snow White,' we'd have just the right number of people. Charlotte could play Snow White, and we could be the dwarves."One intern said, "But Suzanne is a bit old for that."Suzanne cast a faint glance at them. The interns were taken aback and fell silent.Charlotte leaned back in

Ding dong! The doorbell rang.Charlotte paused her argument with Griffith and got up to answer the door.Julie carried a large green onion outside the door, and behind her was Ash holding many snacks.Seeing Charlotte, Julie appeared very happy. "Charlotte!"Charlotte had a good impression of her. She quickly made way for them. "Did you go shopping?""Yes! My brother was craving some good food, so I treated him," Julie replied.Charlotte noticed the two bags of snacks and couldn't help but smile. These didn't seem like snacks for Ash.As soon as Julie entered, she ran up and down excitedly and put down the puppy for Charlotte to play with. Julie then noticed the big package by the door."What are these?" Julie asked."They're props," Charlotte replied."Props?" Julie blinked her big eyes, looking curious.Charlotte, treating her like a child, was happy to indulge her. She bent down and unzipped the bag to show her a princess dress, a crown, and high heels.Most girls loved

"Yes!" "Then show me."Charlotte was shocked. Who was she supposed to demonstrate with? Was Griffith out of his mind? She struggled to open her eyes again, and sure enough, after just two seconds, Julie turned her head and lifted Ash's face to kiss him."Julie!" Ash's face turned pale with fright. He quickly grabbed Julie and tried to calm her down."That's it, Julie. We won't play anymore."Julie shook her head, still wanting to hug him. Ash, who was always expressionless, was on the verge of losing his mind. He pressed down on her hands."No more playing! If we keep playing, your favorite pasta will get cold and taste bad." Thus, he managed to coax Julie away.Charlotte lay on the sofa in disbelief. She turned her head and met Griffith's calm gaze. He did it on purpose. He must have anticipated that Julie would ask Ash to demonstrate."What are you looking at?" Charlotte said."You expected me to kiss you?" He snorted and got up.Charlotte quickly got up. While Ash was lea

They said it would be just a few minutes, but every minute and second feels excruciating in a tense situation. Charlotte felt the darkness was about to swallow her, and she heard a cacophony of chaotic sounds around her. She ignored them and grabbed Griffith's shirt again.He moved slightly but didn't mock her. He probably was afraid she would be frightened to death. They fell into silence again for a minute.Charlotte regained her composure, but her mind was flooded with terrifying thoughts. What if the elevator plummeted? What if it shot upwards? In any case, it would be fatal. And she was still wearing heels. With this in mind, she quietly moved her feet, trying to get her feet out of her heels."What are you doing?""I... I'm taking off my shoes."Griffith sneered and taunted her, "Have you watched too many movies?""This is common sense. Better safe than sorry. You should... you should lean against the wall, too. It's safer."They weren't very high from the ground. If it fe
