Though the chances were slim, Vicky was still worried that they might run into Tyler because she did not want to ruin another person's life.
She kept her eyes on the people around them and had not paid any attention to Edward, so she was startled by Edward suddenly grabbing her hand.
Vicky instinctively wanted to shake his hand away. "Ed, you can just talk. Let me go."
Edward stared at her alluring face and said, "Vicky, I've fallen for you ever since I saw you on the very first day. I know that the rumors about Charlie and Tyler Hart aren't real... Can you be my girlfriend?"
Edward had been in show business for years and had seen his share of beautiful women. Back when he was famous, countless women had thrown themselves at him, so he had seen women more beautiful than Vicky. However, Vicky had an irresistible, unique charm.
Vicky tried her best to withdraw her hand. "I'm sorry, Ed, but I only see you as my friend."
Edward refused to let go and said passionately, "Vicky, I'm willing to start by being friends. I'm even okay with announcing our relationship to the public. I just want you to give me a chance."
His grip was strong, and no matter how hard Vicky tried, she could not shake him off.
It was getting late, and there were not many people coming in and out of the hotel as they stood on the stairs outside.
"Ed, can you just let go of me first? We can just talk about this."
"Vicky, be my girlfriend, okay? I will care for you with all my heart—"
"Heh."
Just then, a sarcastic chuckle was heard from behind them.
Vicky was so familiar with the voice that she did not have to turn around to know who it was.
She paled and pulled her hand away from the distracted Edward.
