"Done talking?" Gilbert frowned, clearly displeased.
"Yeah." Sherilyn nodded. "What else do you want me to say? Do you doubt me?"
"Sherilyn."
Gilbert held his breath, his displeasure growing. "It's not that I doubt you, but this thing blew up on social media. Can't you just explain it to me? Reassure me?"
The air thickened for a moment.
Sherilyn gave him a cold look, unsure. "You're mad? Over something so trivial, really?"
Before she could elaborate, a knock sounded at the dressing room door.
"Come in!" Sherilyn called.
The door cracked open, revealing one of the crew members, all smiles. "Mr. Johnson—Sherilyn, a Mr. Martin sent afternoon tea for the whole crew. A junior assistant signed for it. Just wanted to let you know..."
Mr. Martin? Galen?
Sherilyn frowned, puzzled by his motives but since it was already here...
She smiled at the crew member, "Thanks, I got it."
"Sure." The crew member nodded, smiling, then discreetly closed the door behind him.
Turning around, Sherilyn found Gilbert's face had turned stormy, his eyes cold.
"Now, do you still think it's a minor issue?"
Sending afternoon tea, something he had done before! And Sherilyn had scolded him for it, demanding he never do it again!
Gilbert was livid. "That man has ulterior motives! Don't tell me you don't know!"
His words were laced with sarcasm and blame.
Sherilyn, unfazed, retorted, "Even if that's true, so what?"
"What?" Gilbert was taken aback, incredulous. "We're about to get married!"
"Why are you yelling at me?"
Sherilyn smiled wryly, shaking her head. "Is it my fault someone's courting me?"
She paused, then added, "Besides, given the current situation, it's not even certain we can get married..."
"What do you mean, not certain?"
Gilbert's expression changed rapidly, filled with jealousy, anger, and a hint of fear.
