Chapter 191: Emily Blunt

Beverly Hills, Capet Manor. As soon as Charles parked the car, Emily Blunt eagerly unbuckled her seatbelt and kissed him.

"Hold on," Charles responded a few times, then licked his lips and smiled, "Emily, aren't we moving a little too fast?"

They had met a few times on the set while filming The Devil Wears Prada last year, so they knew each other; plus, they hadn't spent much time together tonight at the party and bar.

Emily Blunt laughed, "Charles, shouldn't I be the one to say that? It's you who brought me back to your place!"

Then, Emily Blunt started rubbing a certain part of Charles's body with one hand and pressed herself against him, whispering in his ear, "If it's too fast, do you want to take me back to the hotel?"

Charles looked at Emily Blunt in his arms, patted her back, and laughed, "Actually, it's not that fast if you think about it; we've been together for several hours now!"

They got out of the car, and Emily Blunt admired Charles's house with a look of envy on her face, "Wow, this house is so luxurious, and in this kind of neighborhood too. Amazing."

Emily Blunt was just a newcomer actress, and The Devil Wears Prada was her first Hollywood film. She had to go through nine rounds of auditions just to get the role, and her payment was very low, only $150,000.

Charles didn't say anything, just put his arm around Emily Blunt's shoulders and guided her to the small living room on the second floor, with a view of Los Angeles's nightscape.

"Do you want anything to drink?" Charles asked.

Emily Blunt shook her head while looking at the night view of Los Angeles, "No, I've already had plenty tonight."

"Hollywood can make you famous overnight, and then you have everything, money, fame," Charles said, coming up next to Emily Blunt.

"What about you, why did you become an actress?"

Emily Blunt looked at Charles and explained with a smile, "I had a stutter when I was young, and the doctor suggested acting could help by letting me take on different personas. That's when I started performing in some stage plays.

Then, in high school, I joined the drama club and eventually got discovered by a talent agent, leading me down this path.

After entering Hampton University, I started acting in TV shows and movies. I came to Hollywood right after graduation last year and got involved in The Devil Wears Prada!"

Charles nodded. Emily Blunt's acting had a methodical approach, typical of someone who graduated from a specialized drama school, and moreover, from Hampton University.

A classic example of a professionally trained British actor, which Charles saw as an advantage in Emily Blunt, was coming from a middle-class family with a clear view of career planning and future.

"Many British actors have done quite well in Hollywood, including actresses," Charles reminded, "Kate Winslet, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Keira Knightley, and Kate Beckinsale are the ones I am more familiar with, and they represent the new wave of British actresses in Hollywood."

Emily Blunt bit her lip, "Do you think I can be like them someday?"

Charles looked at Emily Blunt and then nodded, "Yes, you can!"

Currently, Keira Knightley was the hottest British actress in Hollywood. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was a huge success, and this year Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest was set to be released in summer!

Last year's romantic film Pride & Prejudice also earned Keira Knightley Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for Best Actress.

"But Charles, the competition in Hollywood is really fierce!" Emily Blunt sighed, a bit helpless.

Charles chuckled, holding her waist and whispered in her ear, "I will help you!"

Then, he kissed her, and Emily Blunt, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window, responded passionately.

Soon, Emily Blunt wrapped her legs around Charles's waist, holding him tightly as her beautiful dress fell to the floor.

In the distance was the night view of Los Angeles, while right in front of Charles was the sensual beauty of Emily Blunt.

After a night of passion, Charles woke up the next morning with a satisfied smile, holding Emily Blunt.

"Awake?" Emily Blunt asked as she saw Charles open his eyes.

"Morning," Charles yawned, "Why are you up so early?"

He looked at his watch; it wasn't even eight yet!

"I have an event this afternoon," Emily Blunt explained, "I acted in an Australian film last year called Irresistible, and I might need to go to Sydney."

Charles had never heard of this movie, "The promotional activities for The Devil Wears Prada should start in early June, with London, Paris, and Milan all planned stops. The global premiere will be in New York, and you need to be part of the promotion; it will be good for you!"

Emily Blunt nodded. The Devil Wears Prada was an important film for her, and she would definitely take it seriously.

"I only have one leading role in a horror film Wind Chill for now, and a small role in Charlie Wilson's War starring Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. My schedule is pretty open," Emily Blunt confessed. She didn't have many offers and was waiting to see if there would be more projects after The Devil Wears Prada was released.
