âYou wonât,â Valda Theller said affirmatively.
His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. âWhat makes you think I wonât? Or have you forgotten that Iâm a man?â
âBecause if you said you wonât, then you wonât. I believe you,â she said. She knew that his heart was with another woman. He dated her for the person he loved.
Brianâs eyes flickered. Moments later, he slowly said, âDonât believe in me too much. Maybe Iâm not what you think I am.â
âOkay,â she replied, but her clear eyes were still full of trust.
The trust pressed on his chest like a heavy weight, making him feel a little uncomfortableâ¦
Raymond Bowman found Camille Strickland and asked, âWhereâs Valda Theller?â
Camille Strickland was full of disdain. âWhy should I tell you? Havenât you caused enough trouble for Valda? If you hadnât harmed Valda like that, would the reporters crowd her so much that she canât even go home?â
âSo, she hasnât been at home these two days?â Raymond Bowman asked. He had been to Valda Thellerâs house, but no one answered after he rang the doorbell for a long time. No one showed up after he waited in front of her house for quite some time as well, so he came to Camille Strickland.
Based on Camille Stricklandâs relationship with Valda Theller, she must know where Valda Theller was.
Camille Strickland said impatiently, âRaymond Bowman, what on earth do you want? Itâs none of your business where Valda is!â
âWhy is it none of my business? Iâ¦â Raymond Bowmanâs voice stopped short, and he did not continue speaking.
âYou what?â Camille Strickland looked at him in confusion.
âNothing.â Raymond Bowman let out a breath. No matter how much he told Camille Strickland that he was worried about Valda and wanted to protect her, Camille Strickland probably would not believe him.
After all, he had made too many mistakes in the past.
âTell me where Valda is and how sheâs doing,â Raymond Bowman said again.
âWhatâs the matter? Are you going to pretend to be nice this time? Raymond Bowman, I wonât tell you where Valda is staying, but sheâs doing well now. Her boyfriend is taking care of her. Thereâs no need for your fake kindness,â said Camille Strickland.
However, Raymond Bowmanâs eyebrows furrowed when she mentioned the word âboyfriend. âHow much do you know about her boyfriend? She didnât have a boyfriend a little over a month ago. Donât you think itâs strange that she has one out of the blue?â
Camille Strickland froze. She did not expect Raymond Bowman to know that Valda did not have a boyfriend not long ago, but⦠âWhatâs so strange about that? She and her boyfriend fell in love at first sight, and their relationship is blossoming fast! Did you think Valda would be in love with you forever just because she used to be in love with you? If sheâs fallen for someone else, then does it mean thereâs something wrong with the person she fell for?
Raymond Bowman, you think too highly of yourself!â
Camille Stricklandâs statement made Raymond Bowmanâs expression ghastly. âI just donât want Valda to get fooled.â
Camille Strickland said with a fake smile, âYouâre the biggest fraud Valda has ever met!â
With that said, she walked away without looking back. Raymond Bowman stood there with his hands clenched.
If possible, he would like to go back to the time when he had not fooled Valda, but it⦠was impossibleâ¦
In the next few days, Valda Theller saw that there was no more news about her online. Even if her name was mentioned in the filmâs marketing campaign, it did not cause much of a ripple.
