The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 768

Clarence stopped after saying that. Looking at Angeline's puzzled face, he thought about it before saying, "I've seen your act. Honestly, except for the kiss part, your acting is as good as your idol Angela. I don't think Abby can win the award. This is your chance."
Clarence made it quite clear. Angelo knew that he wanted her to run for the best actress. Actually, she wanted to do that. But she was just a new man in showbiz this lifetime after she's reborn and did not have much work, so she might not be qualified.
"Mr. Wilson, you know this is my first work. Many people don't even know me. How could I get the award?"
With that, she gave a lame smile. She wanted to get the award from Abby, but she didn't think she was qualified.
As for the kiss scene, she blushed when she thought of that. She didn't know why she resisted it.
Clarence knew her concern. But he didn't want her talent to go unnoticed. So, he had come up with some ideas.
"I've negotiated with Mr. Thorne. We'll release the photos of this movie in advance. I'm sure you and Jeremy will have a lot of fans soon. This way, we can get more support and will be your stepping stone to be known in public,"
Then he thought of the kiss photos. After the professional edition, they would surprise people.
Angelo was surprised when he heard Clarence, who usually chose photos after shooting the whole movie because it could attract more audiences.
Besides, both she and Jeremy were less known by the public. If the screw only posted their photos, the audience might have no interest in the movie.
Thinking about the risks, "Is that okay?" Angelo asked, with worry in her eyes.

"You needn't worry about anything. Mr. Thorne will help us with publicity. With your acting, I believe this movie will be popular."
Clarence smiled at Angelo to comfort her.
When Angelo heard Drake's name, she was more surprised. Drake hated showbiz and never been involved in show business before.
Thinking about that, she asked in a low voice, "He agreed?" Her eyes were full of disbelief.
To her surprise, Clarence nodded firmly.
"Honestly, he proposed it. He hopes you win the award."
Angelo was touched when she heard that. Drake knew nothing about her coming back, but he did help her in some way. Angelo knew that if she succeeded this time, it would help with her revenge.
Seeing that "Angeline" kept silent, Clarence was kind of worried. It was a good suggestion, and people usually were glad to accept it. But from these days' observation, he could tell that "Angeline" was different.
"Is there anything wrong?"
Till then, Angelo came to herself. She shook her head at once and gave a smile.
She stared at Clarence and asked, "No, nothing. I'm happy with it. But since you've made it a decision, why did you call me here?"
That was the only thing she was curious about. Normally, they made the call and didn't even need to inform her.
Hearing her, Clarence looked embarrassed. He looked at "Angeline," hesitated before saying, "Actually, I called you here for two things. The first is that you may need to prepare to attend many shows. And the second…"
With that, he stared at "Angeline" and then closed his eyes.
"You know, if you want to gain something, you have to give up something in the meanwhile, especially in showbiz. So, the second one is that you have to promise Mr. Thorne something if you want to get the award."

Angelo's heart throbbed at Clarence's words. But as she thought of the award, she whispered, "So, what's it?"
"Well, Mr. Thorne hasn't decided yet. He'll tell you later."
With that, Clarence peeked at Angelo cautiously. Actually, he had thought that Drake didn't like girls, so he didn't expect him to say that.
"Yeah. I agree."
Angelo thought about it for a while and still couldn't resist the temptation. She gritted her teeth and finally agreed. It was just one requirement, and she would agree as long as she had the chance to get revenge.
"That's it. You can leave now."
After that, Clarence went back. Somehow, he felt frustrated when he heard the answer from "Angeline."
Maybe, he thought, he just loved talents and didn't want "Angeline" to be involved in these dirty things. It was he who told "Angeline" about it. So, he didn't feel happy.
When Clarence lost in sight, Angelo slowly walked out. Thinking about the promise just now, she was in a daze.
"Watch your way."
She heard a voice and hurried to look up. It was Drake, who was standing in front of her.
"Come on. I'll send you home."
His tone bore no rejection. Then he grabbed "Angeline's" hand. He thought she would struggle, but she just got into his car obediently.
He was surprised but then smiled, thinking that "Angeline" started to accept him.
When he started the car, they got on the way.
Looking at the strange route, Angelo wondered if Drake was so desperate that he couldn't wait any longer. She gave a wry smile, thinking that she was wrong to take Drake as a decent man.
Since she had agreed with Drake's requirement, she had to do it. So, she closed her eyes, thinking that it might be better to finish it as soon as possible.
Thinking about that, she said in a low voice, "Which hotel are we going to?"
Her stone was resigned.
"What?"
Drake was surprised at "Angeline's" question. The road they used to go to was under construction, so he took another route, which could reach Green. But he didn't know there was a hotel.
However, Angelo looked at Drake and said sarcastically, "I've agreed with your requirement. You don't need to pretend to know nothing."
Sure enough, she thought, sex came first for men, even Drake was no exception.
Thinking about that, Angelo felt her heart ache and sad.
When Drake heard "Angeline," he soon understood what she was talking about. He frowned and clenched the steering wheel.

Leslie's Poems
This is a continuous collection of poems that I've written in chronological order, starting with the oldest and ending with the newest. This will be updated periodically and may have mass updates. More often than not, each poem either will be written in free verse or with zero adherence to traditional poem structure. Some poems may imply situations and actions that can be triggering or annoying, especially the earlier poems. I recommend skipping most of the ones from 2018-2019, or just not reading this at all if you feel it may hurt you. Please enjoy and read at your own discretion.

The Shattered Universe Saga - Deus Vult Alpha from Omega
This is book one. Rick West, a wounded Marine with a very unique past is transported, with a significant portion of Earth's population, to a new universe. One that is shattered and yet to coalesce under a divine law. This is the story of a military man who begins the saga immature, rough, careless of other’s feelings. A young man whose focus is on getting laid, fighting, and winning at every turn, regardless of cost. He gets caught up in a strange occurrence, along with a billion others, and finds himself in an oddly familiar place where life is lived as a timed-event role-playing game. He discovers that within the shattered universe he is a Mystic Player, a Marshal, a figure of power, potential, and probability. If he wins, he may even able to wrestle unto himself the very throne of heaven. Rick starts to build his Pantheon with his most trusted companions, friends, family, and a harem of strong and talented women. He faces challenges within himself and others, and also must lead his faction into battle with men and monsters. As Rick and his companions progress through the adventure games within the pocket universe, he develops a greater understanding of his humanity and the qualities of what makes each of us uniquely valuable. He grows mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, without really noticing how he is leaving his old existence behind. Striving against him for truly ultimate power are a thousand others with the same potential, the same possibilities. All are aligned on the spectrum from the brightest of minds, the lightest of hearts, to the darkest of souls. All Mystic Players, be they Monster or Marshal, share one characteristic. They thrive in chaos. And a shattered universe is a universe in chaos. At the end of the Saga, will the winner be someone worthy of emulation and even, if it were appropriate, of worship as an exemplar of divinity. Will the title granted to the Final Victor be EXEMPLAR, or will the title be DESPOILER? That is the question.
