Chapter 259
After he took the picture, he muttered jealously, “Here I am, slaving away. Yet, I’m
nothing but chopped liver.”
“You have a bright future, Charles. I look forward to meeting you at the top.” Austin
had nothing but praise for Charles.
He could see the him in the past as he looked at Charles. The man who would do
anything to chase his dreams.

Charles cracked a bashful grin upon hearing Austin’s praise. “I’ll do my best!”
“Nath, take a picture of Charles and me.” Skylar gave her phone to Natalie.
Natalie was just about to take Skylar’s phone when she realized she hadn’t given him
the cookies yet. So, she hastily presented it to Austin. “Mr. Powell, I made this
myself. Lcut the sugar and butter in half. So, these are definitely healthier than the
ones in store!”
Austin was surprised to receive Natalie’s box of cookies.
Back when he was still an up–and–coming actor, barely any reporters bothered to
interview him when he went on tour with the other actors.
The host only asked him a random question after interviewing the main stars of the movie. “What about you, Austin? What’s your favorite food?”
At the time, his answer had been butter cookies.
When he gained a manager, he had a template for any questions that came his way. As time passed, he gradually learned to hide his true preferences.
He had assumed that Natalie’s words of being his fan for years were merely an exaggeration. Now, it seemed that she was telling the truth.
“Thank you.” Austin’s tone carried more sincerity this time.
Natalie was grinning from ear to ear. “Oh, don’t sweat it, Mr. Powell. This is just at token of my appreciation to you for all the hard work you’ve done.”

Meanwhile, Joe, who was playing golf, noticed a familiar figure nearby. He wasn’t
certain that it was Skylar.
Nonetheless, he was confident it was her after taking a good look at the figure.
Paul instinctively followed Joe’s gaze and blurted in surprise upon seeing Skylar, “Oh,
it’s Ms. Sullivan! Is she a fan of Austin Powell?”
Joe’s focus immediately narrowed on the name. “Austin Powell?”
“He’s an actor. He’s been crowned best actor several times over the years. Simply put, he has many awards under his belt and even more fans worldwide. All of hist
movies sold out whenever he starred in them.
“I’m also a fan of his! Of course, he has more female fans. Hell, even my sister and mother love him. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he’s a walking heartthrob.
Paul couldn’t help but crane his neck in curiosity. He didn’t expect Skylar to be
Austin’s fan.
Suddenly, a thought struck him like a sledgehammer. He jerked his head back to look
at Joe.
When he saw Joe narrowing his eyes at Austin, he felt his heart sink to his stomach.
Was Joe jealous?
“One of the actors is Charles. He’s probably Ms. Sullivan’s brother. Maybe Ms.
Sullivan is here to visit him?”
Joe recalled Skylar saying she was going to pay Charles a visit before she left earlier that morning. He was just about to approach Charles and Skylar when a woman
suddenly blocked his path.
The second he registered just who that woman was, his expression turned cold.
“Mr. Martin, can’t you please give me another chance to explain? Even a criminal
gets another shot at redemption! I’ve known you for years, Mr. Martin. We have
several mutual friends. I’ve crossed the line and made a mistake when I bothered
Skylar,” Annie anxiously explained herself to Joe.
The Silver family had been a complete mess over the past few days. Her father had been reprimanding her mother for not keeping her on a tighter leash and stopping.
her.
He had even ordered her to beg Joe for forgiveness.
Recently, she had been making mistakes after mistakes at work. She had tried to pull several strings in order to meet Joe. Alas, they were all unceremoniously rejected. Even Rowan had told her to come up with a plan to calm Joe’s anger all by herself.
She had waited patiently for a few days and finally learned that Joe and Rowan would be playing golf together. So, she wasted no time giving up on the show later.
that night to come right over.
Joe’s eyes were unfathomable pools of ice as he frowned slightly. It was obvious that he was becoming displeased.
Natalie was just checking the picture of flaws after taking a photo of Skylar and Charles when she saw Joe nearby. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Joe?”
