For someone like Wallis, who had lived an honest life for the rest of her life, using female stars for hype was too far away from life. It was so far away that it made people feel unreal.
If it weren't for the fact that she knew Marcellus, Beryl wouldn't have believed that such a thing would happen. But now, it happened right in front of her.
So, she didn't tell Wallis about the relationship because she knew very well that Wallis wouldn't understand.
It was useless to tell Wallis. It would only make Wallis more worried about her, so it was better not to tell Wallis.
But how long could this white lie last?
Every time Beryl told Wallis that she had no contact with Marcellus, she would be very flustered. She always felt that her lie would be exposed sooner or later.
She was not good at lying. In the past, she was not, and now she was not.
Marcellus knew that she was upset. Ever since he took over the Perkins Family's business, he had almost no time to himself. Every day, he was filled with all kinds of work. He had to meet all kinds of people. Whether he could stand them or not, he had to give a satisfactory answer.
He was not in the mood to consider his emotions. The only spare time he had was left for Beryl. Even so, it was not enough, far from enough.
As her boyfriend, although he wanted to take on all the responsibilities, he still inevitably put pressure on her.
