Just then, Valda Thellerâs phone rang. She answered it, and it turned out to be Brian.
âYour filmâs booting ceremony is being held at the film studio, right? I happen to be running some errands there today. Do you want me to pick you up later?â Brian said.
âI donât know when itâll be over, though,â said Valda Theller.
âThen call me when itâs over,â said Brian.
âOkay,â replied Valda Theller.
Today was one of the weekly three dates she had agreed to go with Brian. Who knew he happened to be at the film studio too?
However, running into someone in such a large film studio.
was not easy unless one had agreed on meeting at a specific location.
People unfamiliar with the film studioâs layout often got lost and confused.
Valda Theller put away her phone after the call. Zhou Xinmiaâs eyes lit up as she said, âDid your boyfriend just call?â
âYeah,â said Valda Theller.
âYour boyfriend is so devoted to you. Heâs so handsome, thoughtful, mature, and rich. Iâm so envious,â Camille Strickland deliberately exaggerated her words.
Valda Theller laughed. Her best friend knew exactly what was going on between her and Brian. She said this on purpose to annoy Raymond Bowman and prove that she, the person Raymond Bowman dumped, had pursuers too.
Raymond Bowman pressed his thin lips and said, âValda Theller, whatâs the deal with your boyfriend?
You didnât have a boyfriend a month ago but one just suddenly appeared. And you two are deeply in love?â
Valda Thellerâs expression changed. âDid you look me up?â
Raymond Bowman did not deny it. He only said, âI donât want you to get fooled. Do you know that man?â
âMr. Bowman, you donât want Valda to get fooled? What a joke. Arenât you the one who fooled Valda?â
Camille Strickland said sarcastically.
Raymond Bowman turned pale instantly, and his arm blocking them fell.
His act of deception back then would always be a thorn that could not be removed. âI⦠I justâ¦â He had not stammered like that for years.
âMr. Bowman, Iâve learned from experience. I know that my boyfriend will never fool me. Heâs not you, and I trust him!â
The words âI trust himâ seemed to cast him to hell. Raymond Bowmanâs breathing paused, and his blood seemed to freeze.
It was June, but he was freezing!
Valda Theller also met Gloria at the booting ceremony. Gloria was thinner in person. Although he was already 28 years old, he seemed youthful. He was indeed the perfect actor for the adaptation.
After learning that she was the original author of the drama, Gloria smiled and said, âIâm glad that I get to play the male lead in this drama. I hope weâll have a pleasant cooperation.â
Gloria politely extended her hand as he spoke.
Valda Theller also quickly extended her hand and said, âIâm glad too.â
