Win My Forsaken Ex–Wife Back- 

Chapter 144 Real Mess 

The surveillance footage was blurry, but it was clear that the figure was a woman dressed in a cleaner’s uniform, with a hat and mask covering her face completely.

Charlotte’s expression froze. “This person is the key. We need to find a way to get the staff list from the cocktail party.” 

“That’s going to be tough,” Diana said, her face grim. “Brace yourself, Charlotte. This could turn into a real mess.” 

Charlotte lowered her eyes, a feeling of dread settling in her stomach. If they couldn’t get to the bottom of this, the blame would forever hang over her head. 

For the past five years, she hadn’t bothered investigating. She’d been in love with Arthur, and she’d held onto hope for Julius. Before Sarah, before the realization that she was a stand–in, before the crushing discovery that she was utterly dispensable, she’d actually had expectations for her life. 

Even though he had bluntly stated that he would never love her… 

“Ding!” 

The elevator doors slid open. Charlotte composed herself and said calmly, “Take your time, Diana. It’s okay if we can’t find ⚫ anything.” 

Chapter 144 Real Mess. “Alright.” 

Someone was waiting by the elevator. 

“Excuse me, are you Ms. Charlene?” 

Charlotte nodded. “Please, just call me Charlene.”

“Hello, hello! I’m Steven Wills, Hendrick’s assistant. Please come with me. Hendrick’s already waiting for you in the studio.” 

Hendrick Andrew was a trending hotshot, a male celebrity who’d skyrocketed to fame with a hit historical drama. He was raking in endorsement deals left and right. 

This time, he was shooting a commercial for a nationally recognized brand, and that was where Charlene came in. 

Upon entering the studio, they saw a man seated in a chair, surrounded by seven or eight staff members fussing over him. They were busily touching up his makeup, wiping away sweat, and adjusting his clothes.

“Hendrick, Charlene’s here.” Steven jogged over to Hendrick and whispered. 

Hendrick looked up. In person, he wasn’t as striking as he appeared on screen. His skinny frame made his bones prominent, but his features were indeed delicate, the kind of pretty boy look that was all the rage with young women these days. 

Tina stepped forward to discuss the project with Hendrick’s manager, Reese White.

The shoot included promotional photos and short videos spanning three days. There were also outdoor scenes planned, making the schedule pretty tight. 

Charlotte decided to start with the promotional posters, figuring that nailing the style for those would set the tone for the commercial. 

She walked straight towards Hendrick. Just as she was about to speak, someone stopped her. “You can say whatever you need to from there. Why are you getting so close?” 

The person’s tone was wary as if she were some kind of suspicious character with ill intentions. 

Charlotte paused, then spoke, but her voice was soft. 

Hendrick frowned. “What did you say? Speak up, will you?” 

Charlotte calmly replied, “If you listen carefully, you’ll hear me just fine.” 

Hendrick looked up from his phone, his eyes widening as he took in Charlotte’s appearance. A flicker of admiration crossed his face, and his attitude instantly shifted. He flashed her at charming smile. 

“Sorry about that. I was just replying to a message. What were you saying? Could you repeat it?” Hendrick rose to his feet and walked towards her. 

Charlotte met his gaze with calm, clear eyes. She reiterated the shooting requirements and added, “Your makeup isn’t quite

right for this. It needs to be redone.” 

She explained that while his meticulously groomed eyebrows and eyes were striking, the brand emphasized a natural aesthetic, not a heavily stylized one. 

“Sure, no problem,” Hendrick agreed readily. “Why don’t you stay and supervise? Feel free to give the makeup artist any feedback.” 

He reached for her hand as he spoke.

The surrounding staff members didn’t bat an eye, even stepping aside to give them more space. It was clearly a familiar scene for them.
