Chapter 239
When Vicky went back to get Charlieâs jacket, it was in a bad condition after Tyler stepped on it.
Without a choice, she bought a new one to give Charlie as compensation.
As Vicky walked out of the shopping mall with the bag, someone screamed, âThatâs her; the girl
rumored to be dating Charlie Shepherd!â
As soon as Vicky heard that, a horde of reporters surrounded her with their cameras.
âMiss, whatâs your relationship with Charlie?â
âSomeone took a photo of you going to a hotel with Charlie late at night. What are you two doing in the
hotel? Are you two there to discuss the script?â
âWhatâs your opinion on the rumors someone revealed this morning?â
There were tons of questions thrown at her, and Vicky did not know how to react.
âVicky!â
Suddenly, she heard Charlieâs voice from the entrance. She had no idea when he was even around,
complete with a mask, a cap, and sunglasses on his face.
âOver here!â
Vicky reacted and quickly walked to the entrance when she saw Charlie.
The reporters around her were all experienced reporters and could easily recognize Charlie, even
when the man was in a disguise.
The reporters ran crazily toward him when they saw him.
âMister Shepherd, are you in a relationship with this woman?â
âWhen did you two start to date?â
âI heard you two have been living together for a long time. Is that true?â
With that opportunity, Vicky escaped from the reporters. There was a black car parked beside the
entrance of the shopping mall.
Charlieâs manager quickly opened the door and waved at Vicky when she saw her coming out. âMiss
Shaw, get in the car, quick!â
Vicky hurriedly got in the car, and the car sped off immediately after.
She was relieved to see the reporters still in the mall, unable to catch up.
âJules, why is there such a rumor? You know Charlie and I arenâtâ¦â
âI know.â Jules spoke, âThe production team had booked the entire hotel. Itâs normal for you guys to go
and leave the hotel together. Iâve already contacted the company, and well deal with this. Please donât
worry.â
Vicky was slightly relaxed. The production team could testify forthem that she and Charlie were not in a
relationship as the news revealed.
The car drove in a big circle and finally stopped at a quiet street.
Subsequently, Charlie got into the car, panting. It was evident he went through great lengths to shake
off the reporters.
Jules passed a bottle of water to him. âCharlie, are you alright?â
âYes. Iâve gotten rid of those reporters.â
Jules looked at Vicky and said, âWhen the news was published, Charlie was afraid youâd get affected.
He could not care about the shooting and rushed over to come to find you in fear something might
happen to you.â
Vicky looked at Charlie. âThank you.â
Charlie accepted the water and drank it. Upon regaining his breath, he said, âIt happened because of
me, so Iâm responsible for this. You donât have to thank me.â
