Chapter 108
Teddy clenched his fists nervously, struggling with his thoughts. “I… I can apologize, even if… even if I can’t act anymore…”
Lila interrupted him, “So it’s fine if you can’t be an actor anymore?”
Jamie’s eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth as if to say something but hesitated, closing it again.
Lila’s stern tone made Teddy even more reluctant to look up. He gritted his teeth and lowered his gaze. “I was too impulsive, so—”
She couldn’t help but laugh in frustration. “It’s such a small thing, and you’re ready to give up just like that. All the effort I put into planning for you, finding scripts- was it all for nothing?”
“I… Ms. Hart, I—” He looked up at her, but his gaze darted away, not daring to meet her eyes.
“Or are you afraid of Dorian?”
Without thinking, Teddy immediately rebutted, “He’s a scum. Why should I be afraid of him?”
Jamie nodded in agreement. Yes, this was the kind of response a naive fool like him should have. At the same time, her admiration for Lila grew even more.
Because of this, Jamie became even more concerned. “Ms. Hart, about the live stream tonight, are you… coming?”
Lila snorted. “Of course, I’ll go. I want to see what kind of trouble he can stir up!”
At 7:00 pm, Lila arrived at the film set. She sat down and watched the actors from the crew interacting and playing games. Most of the audience in the live stream was Dorian’s fans.
He was the most famous actor and played the male lead in the drama. With his recent international award, he was in the limelight, so most of the games were centered around him.
Fans flooded the comment section with praises for Dorian.
“Dorian is so handsome! I love him so much!”
“Who wouldn’t love a man who’s both handsome and deeply affectionate!”
“Can someone tell me how to pray to get this man?”
“Stop dreaming! He’s mine!”
“Ah! Dorian, I love you!”
“Dorian’s side profile just now was amazing! He spoke so gently! I’m in love!”
The last segment of the live stream was a rapid-fire question round.
Upon hearing this, Lila frowned slightly. Most of the earlier questions from the host had been about the crew and the script.
When the microphone finally reached Dorian, the host asked, “Mr. Blake, there’s been a lot of speculation about your love life online. We and the fans are curious are you single or in a relationship?”
This question wasn’t part of the original script, and everyone on set froze for a moment, except for Dorian, who remained calm.
Lila furrowed her brows as she noticed him glance in her direction. “I’m sure everyone knows that I made my girlfriend upset. She’s still angry, but I love her, and I’ll make sure to comfort her.
“I’ve also seen a lot of negative comments about her online. I hope everyone will speak rationally. She’s the person I love, and it hurts to see her insulted.”
As Dorian defended her, the barrage of comments exploded, more than before, scrolling faster than anyone could read.
Standing off to the side, Jamie immediately moved to kick him but was quickly stopped by Teddy, who pulled her out of view.
“Calm down. There are so many people watching. If this leads to negative news, it’ll affect Lila!” Teddy knew that mentioning Lila was the most effective way to calm her down.
On camera, the host continued to praise, “Wow! Mr. Blake, you’re so affectionate.”
He smiled enviously, “I see Ms. Hart sitting in the audience. I wonder if she’d like to come up and say a few words. When do you plan to forgive Mr. Blake?”
This was another unplanned part of the script. As the host spoke, the camera began to pan toward the audience.
Lila’s eyes darkened as she lifted her gaze and met Dorian’s confident eyes. It only took an instant for her to understand his real intention in having her come.
