Chapter 700: Swift Actions

Morning, in the bedroom.

Charles lay on the bed as Anne Hathaway sat astride him, her long hair swaying. "Honey, I gotta go to a movie promo event tomorrow. I'll find you when I get back to L.A.!"

"Alright, since you're doing PR for Silver Linings Playbook, some promotional activities are necessary," Charles understood.

"Phew..." Anne Hathaway grasped Charles's hands on her chest, breathless and resting on him.

Charles patted her back, and Anne Hathaway slid under the covers.

Silver Linings Playbook was an indie film with a modest budget. To effectively push for awards, they had to attend various film festivals.

Especially Anne Hathaway; she had learned a lot from Natalie Portman's Oscar win for Black Swan earlier that year.

...

Long Island, Charles's East Hampton villa. Charles played a bit with his son before his mother, Evelyn, came over. "Alright, let him sleep for a while!"

"Oh," Charles handed Dashiell to Britney to put to bed.

"Are you planning to go back to L.A.?" Evelyn asked.

Charles shook his head. "I need to check out the Miami Dolphins and Miami FC clubs. Mother, you know the NFL just ended the lockout. I need to keep an eye on things!"

"Okay. Have you been in touch with the senators about Occupy Wall Street? How are they planning to respond?" Evelyn asked, sitting on the sofa.

"Overall, they don't support it," Charles said, shaking his head. "But for now, the government doesn't seem to have specific countermeasures for these protests. At times like this, some senators do support them, all for votes. We'll have to wait till it gets more serious for a response!"

...

In the evening, Charles lay in bed with Britney Spears.

"Hey, why let Dashiell go back to L.A. with Mom?" Charles pouted.

"L.A. has better weather. It's already cooling down in New York. You'll see him all the time once you're back in L.A.," Britney didn't seem to mind. "Next month, I've got a concert at Barclays Center. I've been rehearsing a lot, not much time to look after him. And you, well, you have even less time. Plus, with all these protests in New York, who knows if it'll turn into a riot?"

"Riot? Come on," Charles laughed. "A few cops can handle them. Their slogan is only to Occupy Wall Street. Soon, they'll be shouting to occupy Washington!"

"Alright, go to sleep," Britney said, hugging Charles. "You just need to stay low-key for now."

...

In mid-September 2011, the NFL season finally started after a four-month lockout. The opening game took place at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, with the reigning Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers playing against the 2009 Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.

As North America's premier sports event, the NFL season opener was a good start for North American sports.

At the same time, the Florida Marlins, who shared a stadium with the NFL's Miami Dolphins, confirmed they would move out of Sun Life Stadium next year.

Previously, the Florida Marlins shared the stadium with the Miami Dolphins. But in 2009, the Marlins' owner convinced Miami's government to rebuild the Orange Bowl into a dedicated baseball park, Marlins Park, near Little Havana in Miami. The Florida Marlins would also change their name to the Miami Marlins.

Currently, Charles's American Airlines Arena is mainly used by his CSE's NFL team, the Miami Dolphins, and the SFC's Miami FC.

As for the American Airlines Arena being unsuitable for soccer, it's a minor issue. It can even host baseball games; no one would mind the SFC matches.

When Charles arrived in Miami, private photos of celebs like Selena Gomez and Mila Kunis surfaced online.

Hackers had cracked into the stars' iClouds and posted the photos online!

...

West Palm Beach, Jupiter Island villa.

Charles reclined on the sofa, reading the newspaper. It showed Scarlett Johansson's bathroom selfie. He chuckled, "I've always told you not to take private photos with your phone! Well, you got burned this time? Good thing you were wearing a robe in that one!"

Scarlett Johansson glanced at the newspaper photos and then at her tablet news.

"Lucky escape. The hackers are indeed good," Scarlett said, visibly relieved.

Charles frowned. So quick? Seems like the Occupy Wall Street chants in Manhattan had made some people restless.

To divert attention, they soon served up Hollywood starlet's scandalous news!

The Avengers had grossed more than 600 millions in North America, with over $1.5 billion globally.

Scarlett Johansson's role as Black Widow made her globally famous, and she was renowned as quite the bombshell!

Scarlett was in Miami shooting an ad when she met Charles.

Charles pulled Scarlett onto his lap. "Darling, you have no idea how many men wish to see you naked, huh?"

With that, he slipped his hand under her low-cut top, cupping her soft 32D!

"Mmm..." Scarlett turned and kissed Charles. "Honey, they're just envious of you!"

Charles grinned, pulling her strap to reveal her bra. "Anyway, you don't have much to do next. Stay with me?"

With that, Charles unclasped Scarlett's bra and kissed her breasts!

"Hehe," Scarlett giggled, holding Charles's head. "Just me alone? Aren't there others..."

"Mmm." Scarlett didn't finish as Charles pressed against her, silencing her with kisses.

"Hmm, what were you saying?" Charles asked, lying on top of her.

Scarlett blushed, her mood intense. "Nothing, just missed Eva or Kristen..."
