Chapter 2718: Chapter 2719

“Then why are people on the set treating me like this?” she asked in confusion.

“It must have something to do with Brian. You were taken away by people from Hart Group, so everyone thinks you have Hart Group’s higher-ups behind you. How could they treat you badly?”

Camille Strickland replied.

Valda Theller was speechless. She had now become someone who got to where she was due to her connections.

“By the way, how are the things between you and Brian?” Camille Strickland gossiped curiously.

“Nothing new.” She was only pretending to be his girlfriend anyway. The only difference was that she used to do it out of sympathy. She had also suffered a bad experience in love, so she wanted to help him.

However, it had gradually turned into gratefulness, and she wanted to repay him.

If it were not for Brian, she might not be able to stand here.

Camille Strickland muttered, “Maybe you should consider the possibility of making it real. After all, you have a chance many people would never have. Won’t it be a pity if you’re only ‘pretending’ to be his girlfriend?”

Valda Theller chuckled. “Stop saying such things. Do you think someone like him would casually make a fake relationship real?”

She could not help thinking of the day he brought her to a party with his friends. That moment had made it even clearer to her that she and he were indeed worlds apart.

Even if there was a brief intersection, they would eventually drift apart again…

“I only want to be a good ‘girlfriend’ during this period. I’ll keep my heart in check. I won’t overthink about the rest because I know I’m incompatible with him,” said Valda Theller.

After hearing what her best friend said, Camille Strickland somehow found her nose slightly sore. “How are you incompatible? Even if that person is Brian, you’re—”

“That’s enough. I’m too old to dream. Camille, I admit I have a crush on him. It’s hard not to be attracted to a man like him, but I also understand that he has no feelings for me. The reason he sent someone to save me at the film set was that I’m his fake girlfriend.”

Valda Theller said gently. She would only say what was on her mind in front of her best friend. “I don’t want a fake relationship to turn real. If I take it seriously but he still regards it as a fake relationship, I’ll be the only one to suffer in the end. So all I can do now is stay true to myself and not get caught up in my emotions.”
