The Billionaire's Maid Bride novel Chapter 663

Allison's porcelain skin flushed with the faintest hint of a blush. “Oh, so I can get anything I want? What if I want the lead in 'Day Zero,' but Miranda's dead set on giving it to Penelope?”

Charlie’s face tightened; he had heard about this earlier that day.

After all, Penelope was one of his clients, and all the contracts had crossed his desk. Miranda had personally called Mr. Landry, and the decision was final. Charlie sighed and said, “There are plenty of ways to snag that role. You could leak my video, ruin Penelope’s reputation. Or you could go straight to Mr. Lindberg. I'll admit, after Miranda’s call, I’m powerless here. At the end of the day, Epic Entertainment is a Landry stronghold.”

Indeed, Epic Entertainment was under Landry's thumb.

Allison was surprised by Charlie’s honesty. “Well, at least you’re straightforward.”

“I’ve been in this business long enough,” Charlie said with a wry smile. “I’ve seen all the highs and lows of showbiz. If you want dignity, you need power. Money can buy dignity, but not power. And power, well, that can certainly turn into money.”

After parting ways with Charlie, Allison returned to her suite for a quick rest before heading out to a rural set to shoot the latest handbag and clothing line for Charmé.

Emma added, “I talked with Charmé's PR team. They’ve given you the 'best friend' status, which is top-tier domestically. You’re in good company with Nicki, breakout star Samantha, heartthrob Xavier Chase, and the rising sensation Aiden. All of you have shot for the main line, but only your photos will become billboards plastered over Times Square, and you’ll grace the displays of every store nationwide.”

Soon, they arrived at the shoot location.

The set was a collaboration between Charmé's creative team and one of the country’s top female photographers, Alan.

Upon arrival, while the team was still setting up, Allison headed to the makeup room. The makeup artist, Charmé's favorite, was an expert in creating the illusion of bare-faced beauty, enhancing natural looks without going overboard.

Charmé preferred to let their vibrant clothing and handbags take center stage, rather than be overshadowed by heavy makeup on their models.
