Chapter 72
The man before Sheila leaned back against the couch elegantly as he drawled, "Sheila, you met with Jessica when the incident happened. Did you not know that Vicky was supposed to meet someone else?"
"I knew," Sheila blurted out of fear that Tyler would interrupt her. "Our managers arranged for us to meet there to talk about the casting, and we just stayed there to get to know each other a little...because we're going to play good friends in the movie. I didn't have other plans, so I stayed back to chat with her while going through the script.
"She said that her manager referred a really talented fashion designer to her, and the designer was supposed to come and take her measurements. She said that this designer has a unique fashion sense, so one would never see the same dress twice on a different person.
"Jessica told me to check out that designer and since I felt curious as well, I waited with Jessica. However, the designer didn't show up even past the arranged time. Jessica thought that the designer was just running late and didn't pay attention to it until it was starting to get late.
"When Jessica tried to contact the designer, she realized that she got a number wrong when she gave the designer the room number. She immediately made a call to the designer, but the call didn't go through. We didn't realize what happened until we heard noises outside and went outside.’
Sheila had not expected something like this to happen when all she did was run the script with a fellow cast member, nor had she anticipated that Vicky was the fashion designer she had been waiting for.
Darkness loomed over Tyler's face, and she could not see the expression on his face as he listened to Sheila's explanation.
Despite knowing Tyler for years, she still could not tell what he was thinking even in the present.
After a while, Tyler said, "According to what I've learned, your manager was the one who suggested to Jessica to meet there."
Sheila froze and paled as she came to a realization. "Tyler, don't you... believe me?"
"I only believe what I see."
