Chapter 148: Camilla

Even though there were many things he wanted to do, he was limited by a lack of funds. As a result, he found himself with more free time than expected.

This made Monica Bellucci, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Rachel Weisz, Keri Russell, and Isla Fisher very happy, as they all currently had no work commitments.

Wayne, with his full attention on them, made sure they were all well taken care of, to the point where they looked radiant and seemed to have forgotten all their worries.

After all, what could be more important than enjoying life in the moment?

It's worth mentioning that, like Liam Neeson, Monica Bellucci had already completed her contract early, securing the role of the second female lead, the wife of the main character, in *Taken*. This put her mind at ease, and she became even more devoted to Wayne.

"Darling, this is a secret recipe pizza I learned from a famous old lady in Sicily while I was filming there. Please give it a try," Monica said.

Seeing Monica wake up early despite her exhaustion and spend nearly three hours making a piping hot pizza, Wayne, despite having already agreed to have lunch today with Nicole Kidman—who had just finished shooting her scenes for *Panic Room*—smiled and took a big bite.

"Wow, this tastes amazing!" Wayne exclaimed, his eyes lighting up as the rich cheese combined with the sweet and tangy tomatoes and savory ham slices. He hadn't expected Monica's pizza to be this delicious, rivaling even the top-tier Italian restaurant he often ordered from.

"Really? I'm so glad you like it!" Monica beamed as she sat down beside Wayne and started eating with him.

Of course, Monica's eating was much more graceful compared to Wayne's ravenous appetite.

Looking at her seductive lips, Wayne couldn't resist, and before he knew it, he was involved in a major multi-billion-dollar "business deal" with her, making him late for his lunch date with Nicole Kidman, as expected.

"Sorry, darling, I'm late."

"No problem, I actually have visitors here too," Nicole replied with a smile.

Wayne raised an eyebrow in surprise. After a moment's hesitation, he followed her into the living room.

Since Nicole Kidman was now divorced, it wouldn't be an issue even if a friend saw him here.

However, the identity of these guests was somewhat unexpected.

"Ah! You're Wayne Anderson!" The young girl, around fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate and exotic face, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw Wayne.

"Camilla! That's no way to behave!" The woman beside her, who resembled the girl but was older and more dignified, first scolded her, then turned to Wayne with a surprised look and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Anderson. I'm Christina Gould, a fashion designer. This is my daughter, Camilla Belle. She's been a fan of yours for a long time."

"So she's Camilla Belle!" Wayne thought, shocked to realize that the girl in front of him was indeed Camilla Belle, who in his past life had defeated top stars like Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart, and Lily Collins to top the list of the world's most beautiful faces.

It was a pleasant surprise to learn that Camilla Belle was his fan, even though he was already surrounded by so many top-tier beauties.

"Hello, Camilla. I'm glad to hear you're a fan of mine."

After handshakes, autographs, and photos, Camilla finally calmed down and quietly returned to her mother's side.

Nicole Kidman then explained with a smile, "In that 1998 film *The Lost World*, Camilla played the younger version of me."

Wayne suddenly understood, realizing that Nicole Kidman and Christina Gould were likely just casual friends.

However, seeing the eager glint in Christina Gould's eyes whenever she looked at him, Wayne knew that she would soon be trying hard to strengthen her relationship with Nicole Kidman.

Naturally, realizing that Wayne and Nicole Kidman had a date, Christina Gould tactfully declined Nicole's invitation to stay for lunch and politely excused herself.

As they watched Camilla, who kept looking back longingly even after getting into the car, both Wayne and Nicole Kidman couldn't help but smile.

"That girl really likes you!" Nicole said with a playful smirk as she closed the door.

"Well, isn't that normal?" Wayne chuckled, shrugging as he pulled her into his arms, adding in a very confident tone, "Even a big star like you is so infatuated with me. It would be strange if Camilla didn't like me."

Nicole rolled her eyes playfully before wrapping her arms around Wayne's neck and kissing him.

She was well aware of Wayne's charm and his playboy tendencies, so her earlier comment was just teasing.

After all, Camilla was already of age, so even if something did happen between her and Wayne, no one could say anything, especially since Wayne was only 20 years old himself.

Moreover, from what Nicole knew of Christina Gould, even if Camilla didn't have such intentions, Christina would likely go to great lengths to encourage Camilla to get close to Wayne.

But thinking about the fact that there would surely be more and more young and beautiful girls around Wayne in the future, Nicole felt that she should make the most of the present and enjoy herself while she still could.

"I've changed my mind. Before lunch, I want to have a little dessert first~"

Without caring whether having dessert before the main course made sense, Nicole gave Wayne a seductive glance and then knelt down in front of him.

It had to be said that whether it was her looks, body, temperament, or skills, Nicole Kidman was flawless. Among the women Wayne had been with, only Charlize Theron and Monica Bellucci could compare.

However, with Nicole Kidman's addition, his once abundant free time was now starting to feel a bit tight.

Especially after February 28, when the filming of *Mean Girls* wrapped up after 20 days and entered post-production.

Even though the clingiest and wildest of them all, Amanda Seyfried, still had school and could only meet on weekends, Wayne was finding it increasingly difficult to schedule time, especially now that he had four more women to keep happy.
