Keith Sharp laughed dryly. âDo comic artists like you you come up with the plot?â
âThere are comic artists who work with writers, but I come up with the plots for my comics,â said Valda Theller.
âIs it hard to come up with the plot?â
âIt depends on your inspiration. Sometimes, itâs not that hard when youâre inspired.â
âIf youâre uninspired, is it easier to get inspired by dating?â Keith Sharp asked.
âNot really. I just watch more films. Other peopleâs comics and novels can also inspire me.â
âCamille said youâre thinking of a new comic theme right now?â
âYes, we were discussing it for a long time today but havenât reached a conclusion,â said Valda Theller.
Camille Strickland also complained, âI know, right? Oh, everythingâs difficult at the beginning. Iâm miserable every time we have to decide on a theme and outline.â
âMiss Theller, will you get inspired if you have a boyfriend?â Keith Sharp glanced at Raymond Bowman out of the corner of his eye when he said this.
Raymond Bowmanâs expression remained unchanged as if he was only casually listening to their conversation.
However, what Valda Theller said next made Raymond Bowmanâs expression change.
âI have a boyfriend.â
âWhat? You have a boyfriend?â Keith Sharp was shocked, but Camille Strickland hesitated slightly before saying somewhat ostentatiously, âYes, Valdaâs taken!â
Camille Stricklandâs words were directed at Raymond Bowman. After all, Raymond Bowman had embarrassed her best friend and made her the laughing stock at school back then. Now, it felt like they had gained an advantage.
âBut didnât we agree on bringing a friend who doesnât have a boyfriendâ¦â Keith Sharp cast an uneasy glance at Raymond Bowman.
After all, it seemed to him that Raymond Bowman had deliberately set this up today to meet Valda Theller.
Before Camille Strickland could answer, Valda Theller said, âSorry, Mr. Sharp. I took the initiative to ask Camille to bring me here because I wanted to see what kind of person her blind date was.â
Keith Sharp gave a wry smile. It did not matter to him, but CEO Raymond Bowmanâ¦
âYou have a boyfriend?â Raymond Bowman asked Valda Theller as he stared at her.
Valda Theller met his eyes and said, âYes, I have a boyfriend.â
âImpossible!â his thin lips said.
Camille Strickland was unhappy with that statement. âHow could it be impossible? Valda has many pursuers. Raymond Bowman, you wouldnât think that Valda has no pursuers, would you?â
Raymond Bowman suddenly got up, leaned over, and grabbed Valda Thellerâs wrist. âDo you really have a boyfriend?â
The burning gaze was suffocatingly pressuring.
Valda Theller frowned. âRaymond Bowman, let go!â
âTell me. Do you really have a boyfriend?â He clung to the question.
âIâ¦â Valda Theller had just opened her mouth when a voice suddenly rang out.
âAre you in trouble?â The elegant voice sounded estranged, but it stunned Valda Theller.
She looked up instantly and caught sight of a cold, delicate face. He had a straight nose bridge, sexy thin lips, and was dressed in a light gray suit. He looked just like an elegant gentleman, and those deep phoenix eyes were staring at her.
It was⦠the man she had only met twice!
