“If Largo confessed his feelings to you, what will you do about Tobias? Did the two of you break up?” Kate broke in, springing forward in her anxiety.
Skylar’s bluff had evidently confused the room. Even Kate seemed to have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
Skylar lowered her gaze, fiddling with her dress. “We didn’t break up. He’s currently sleeping in my room. I don’t know what his plans are for today.”
“Tobias is here? Why didn’t you ask him to make an appearance on set? His presence would make everyone, even the producers, a lot warier,” Kate earnestly continued, believing.
Skylar hastily retreated. “Forget it. Tobias doesn’t like to draw attention to himself. I’m not too sure why he came over to visit me today, either.”
At that moment, Jane ran into the dressing room to inform Avery that Largo had returned. Thunderously, Avery stomped out of the room to seek him out and confront him.
Largo was in his motorhome replying to messages when Avery entered. Placing his phone down on the table with its screen face down, Largo replied, irritated, “What are you doing? Didn’t we agree to keep our distance on set? Why did you have to follow me around so closely today? You’re being childish. What’s so urgent that you have to come over right now?”
Avery was beside herself. She was used to men fawning over her and hanging onto her every word, not this disrespect that she was now receiving from Largo.
Avery slammed her fist onto the table and almost spat at Largo, saying, “Largo! You said very clearly that you were serious about being in a relationship with me. We even talked about going public to let everyone know that we’re together!”
Largo remained calm in the face of Avery’s vehemence. Smiling placidly, he replied, “Don’t get so excited. You’re acting as if I have bullied you! Of course, I’m serious about being with you. There’s no reason for you to doubt it. We’ll find an appropriate time to announce our relationship, but not now.”
Largo’s words, however, were unable to appease Avery. Who does he think he’s talking to? I’m the heir to Quest Group! Avery thought indignantly.
She thus challenged Largo hotly, “What were you thinking of when you confessed your feelings to Skylar? How could you do that, knowing full well that she is a red hot piece of ass any man can get? She’s gotten you totally wrapped around her little finger with that vixen-like face of hers!”
Largo clenched his jaw. “What are you blabbering on about, Avery? When did I confess my feelings for Skylar? Why are you making a scene here now? You might as well consider this relationship over. There’s no need to discuss anything else. We’re evidently not a good match for each other.”
Dumbfounded, Avery gazed at Largo. Ever since they started dating, she relished the day she would be publicly acknowledged as Largo’s girlfriend. Avery had already dreamt of that scene many times over, both of them holding hands and standing in the spotlight. The media would proclaim Avery and Largo as the hottest couple in the entertainment industry.
Most importantly, Largo was the first man with whom Avery had fallen head over heels in love. The moment Avery set her eyes on Largo, she knew instinctively that their fates would be intertwined.
Now, Largo had crashed Avery’s fairytale romance before anything happened.
“How can you break up with me? I have given you everything including my virginity!” Avery’s eyes brimmed with tears. Avery had pinned every single one of her hopes onto Largo and could not accept the fact that her fairytale world was going to end just like that.
Largo knitted his brow in annoyance. The sight of Avery’s forlorn face only served to aggravate his displeasure, and he said impatiently, “So what? I’ve treated you well all this while. Now that you’ve created such a fuss over nothing, I’m not in the mood to continue this relationship anymore.”
Through her tears, Avery doggedly said, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose our relationship then? I’ll say that you took my virginity and that you’re irresponsible! I’ll thoroughly tear you and your reputation to shreds. Are you willing to forsake everything for Skylar? Don’t you know who her real sugar daddy is?”
