King of Hollywood

Chapter 465: Chapter 186: Will It Ever End?!

“Hmm…Ed…did you need something from me?” Although she felt it was somewhat inappropriate, Blanchett still asked the woman who had just come out of the office.

“There isn’t anything special,” the other woman said with a smile, not giving the answer Blanchett desired. However, Blanchett caught the fleeting sneer that passed through her eyes.

Blanchett couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly, but the other woman quickly composed her expression and pointed at Blanchett’s clothing.”Do you plan to go in like that?”

“I’ve already delayed some time removing my makeup, and taking off this outfit is quite troublesome. I think Ed won’t have too much business, so I just came over like this.” Blanchett shrugged her shoulders. The attire of the Queen’s theatrical costume had too many adornments. Not to mention anything else, just removing the ruffled collar around her neck was troublesome enough. Of course, this also had the benefit of reducing the chances of Adrian getting handsy in the office.

The other woman nodded in understanding and then quickly walked away. After watching her figure disappear into the distance, Blanchett finally pushed the door and entered the office. She neither liked nor disliked Adrian’s personal secretary. Charlize sleeping with him was an undeniable fact. Given Adrian’s nature, having such a beautiful and sexy woman around, the chances of nothing happening between them were definitely lower than the odds of the world not ending in 1999.

However, this woman almost never interacted much with her or Gwyneth. Even if there was something she needed to notify them about, she always spoke in a strictly business tone, neither superior nor overly humble, just a very ordinary attitude. Blanchett knew Adrian had a fondness for her, even though he didn’t show it. As his woman, she could see that.

Besides that, this woman almost never openly displayed affection towards Adrian in public. She was a very competent secretary and assistant. When Blanchett or Gwyneth flirted with Adrian, she would discreetly disappear, which was no surprise why Adrian kept her around. After all, he had always tried to avoid the presence of the several other women simultaneously, apart from Gwyneth. Blanchett and the other few women didn’t have much deep contact.

Thinking it over, besides herself and Gwyneth, were there four or five others? He was truly skilled at charming women. Blanchett, entering the room and finding that Adrian was not there, sat down on a chair and waited. She bit her lip involuntarily then looked up at the ceiling, a slight confusion showing between her brows.

She had once thought about being a mere drama actress, finding a man who loved her to marry, and then having one or two adorable children…But now, she found herself in Hollywood, becoming a top star, falling for a womanizing man and getting manipulated by him, even starting to indulge in these feelings, so much so that she willingly joined an alliance with one of his many women and even started engaging in lesbian relationships…

The lady’s thoughts began to blur. She scratched her head, then heard some indistinct sounds, intermittent, as if someone was talking. Blanchett looked around, confirming the noise came from the inner room. She furrowed her brows and walked over, but just as she reached the door, the sound suddenly stopped. The intrigued lady immediately pressed her ear against the door.
