“Xan, even though I've been in the lab for the past six months, your mom's been filling me in on your situation. Entering the entertainment industry, starring in hit dramas, appearing on variety shows, surpassing top stars, kicking scumbags to the curb, and finding a billionaire boyfriend—you're living life of a winner straight out of a feel-good novel!”
“And let’s not even start on your boyfriend. Handsome, wealthy, and with a voice that could melt hearts! Not to mention how he dotes on you. You’re living such a happy life!”
As Eloise spoke, she glanced over at Orion and was immediately struck again, “Look! He hasn't left yet. That look he's giving you is giving me goosebumps!”
Xanthea turned to see Orion standing by the car, his reluctant and affectionate gaze filling her heart with warmth. Indeed, she was felt very happy.
“Come on, tell me. What’s it like dating a guy like that?”
“It feels,” Xanthea blushed, scratching her head. But before she could elaborate, Eloise noticed her limping, “Xan, why do I get the feeling that you're walking a bit funny?”
Xanthea’s heart skipped a beat, “Uh, I had a little accident on set.”
“Oh no, are you okay?”
“I'm fine, really. I'm almost recovered!”
Xanthea winced with pain, trying her best to walk normally. Eloise might not notice, but her mom definitely would!
“That’s a relief. I was wondering why your boyfriend was carrying you out of the car earlier. I thought you were into some kinky stuff but turns out you were hurt. You gotta be more careful.”
Xanthea internally cried. It was that bastard's doing!
“Ellie, looks can be deceiving. You shouldn't be so superficial.”
