He did not love Barbara Schuman. He even became an exchange student and left the university without hesitation and reluctance.
âLetâs find a place to sit after I finish giving out the mooncakes. Itâs been so long that I have so much to say to you,â Barbara Schuman said gently.
Raymond Bowmanâs thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line. He glanced at Valda Theller, who was turning to leave.
Moments later, his eyes fell on Barbara Schuman again. He slowly uttered one word. âOkay.â
At noon, in the private room of a restaurant room near the film studio, Barbara Schuman looked at Raymond Bowman and smiled. âSpeaking of which, how many years have we not seen each other? Itâs been almost eight years, right? When you went abroad as an exchange student, you never contacted me again. I didnât know you returned until I saw you in the photo of the TV showâs booting ceremony.â
âWhat on earth are you up to? You suddenly sponsored this show under the guise of business,â
Raymond Bowman asked as he stared at her.
Barbara Schuman said, âDidnât you also invest in this TV show? What about you? What are you up to?â
Both of them looked at each other.
Finally, Barbara Schuman smiled and said, âYouâre not gonna tell me that you invested in this TV show for Valda Theller, are you? You stopped at nothing to make her a fool back then.â
Raymond Bowmanâs face darkened. âShut up. I wonât go easy on you if you bring it up again.â
Barbara Schumanâs smile grew sweeter. âWe were partners in crime back in the day.â
His face instantly turned pale, and the words âpartners in crimeâ
stung.
âRaymond Bowman, Iâve never forgotten you all these years,â
Barbara Schuman said as she reached forward and touched Raymond Bowmanâs hand suggestively. âNow that weâve met again, why donâtâ¦â
Raymond Bowman shook off her hand and got up, saying, âBarbara Schuman, youâre not the one I love, so nothing will happen even if we meet again. I only came here to tell you to leave Valda Theller alone whatever the purpose of your sponsorship is.â
Barbara Schumanâs expression changed slightly. âWhat if I donât want to leave Valda Theller alone?â
âThen your factory might not be able to make mooncakes anymore next year.â Raymond Bowmanâs tone was dangerous.
âIs that a threat?â Barbara Schuman glared at Raymond Bowman.
âIâm just telling you what might happen!â
âYouâre so protective of Valda Theller. Donât tell me youâre in love with Valda Theller,â she said sarcastically.
He unexpectedly confessed, âYes, I love her, so I wonât let you hurt her again!â
Barbara Schuman froze for a long time before suddenly laughing and saying, âHahaha⦠Did you fall in love with Valda Theller? What kind of joke is this? We were partners in crime. You loved me!â
Raymond Bowmanâs face darkened. âWhat happened back then is my biggest regret. Barbara Schuman, youâd better watch out!â
With that said, he turned around and left.
