She just had no idea⦠whether she could be happy.
Valda Theller continued to eat her breakfast with her head down. Just then, her phone rang suddenly.
She looked at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from her best friend, Camille Strickland.
She quickly answered the call, and Camille Stricklandâs anxious voice rang. âValda, have you seen the news today?â
âThe news?â Valda Theller froze slightly. âI just woke up and havenât watched the news. Whatâs the matter? Has something big happened?â
âHurry and have a look. Brian sent you to the hospital yesterday. The photo of you two kissing is now the top trending post!â
Camille Strickland said.
Valda Theller almost spat out the porridge in her mouth as soon as she heard that. âWhat⦠What did you say?â
âI said the photo of you kissing Brian is now trending online. Though your face in the trending photo is censored, the original photo isnât. Youâd better be mentally prepared. Many people will probably learn about your relationship with Brian,â said Camille Strickland.
Valda Theller was shocked. âWell, I never expected myself to be in a top trending post one day.â
She did not intend to conceal her relationship with Brian.
However, the thought of her dating the crown prince of the entertainment industry and being secretly filmed by reporters for gossip material made her scared and worried.
âWhatâs the matter?â Brian asked after seeing something wrong with her expression.
âWell⦠Camille said a photo of you and me kissing in the hospital last night is now the top trending post.â Valda Theller looked at him awkwardly and said, âDid I kiss you by force last night?â
After all, she knew Brian did not like her at all. He had feelings for someone else. There was no way he would take the initiative to kiss her.
Brianâs eyelashes gently quivered. âYou didnât kiss me by force.â
âWhat do you mean?â she asked, blinking.
âYou asked me before you kissed me last night. I agreed,â he said.
ââ¦â Valda Theller was speechless.
âGosh, what did I do after getting drunk last night?â
âI⦠Iâm sorry. I was drunk! You can just ignore me or reject me the next time I ask you something like that!â
He stared at her. âAre you regretting it?â
She froze as she suddenly recalled how his phoenix eyes had seemingly stared at her in the empty hospital. The words that came out of his thin lips were⦠âIf you think you wonât regret it, then⦠okay.â
Her heart could not help clenching. She bit her lip as she blushed and said, âI⦠I donât regret it. I⦠Iâm just scared itâll trouble you.â
He said, âYouâre my girlfriend. It wonât trouble me that you want to kiss me. If you donât regret yesterday, I wonât regret it either. But I didnât expect it to be trending online. Iâll take care of it. Donât worry. No reporter in Emerald City will come looking for you.â
She was relieved. Even if she said nothing, he knew what bothered her.
