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.
Enter title…
“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 NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
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.”
She smiled bitterly. “So you think I asked Jessica to meet me there on purpose
and got Jessica to type the room number with just one digit wrong?” She
became increasingly hysterical as she spoke, “Let’s assume I did it. If Vicky
went into the wrong room, she should’ve been able to walk out of it as soon as
she realized that it wasn’t the right one. How can I manipulate the people inside
that room to hurt her?”
“If you looked into Jason’s character and found out about where he might be, it’s
not hard to plan all these,” Tyler said coldly.
Sheila was as pale as a ghost as she looked at the man before her. ’ And you
think that I did this?”
Instead of answering her question, he asked, “How have I been to you
throughout the years, Sheila?”
Not knowing why he would ask such a question, she muttered dazedly,” You’ve
been good to me.”
Indeed, Tyler had spoiled her throughout the years and would offer help
whenever she needed it.
Everyone thought that she was Tyler’s first love, but she instinctively knew that
he was in love with someone else before meeting her.
She did not know who it was, and there was no evidence to prove that there
was ever someone he liked, but Sheila knew that he never truly loved her
because he had remained distant despite how well he looked after her.
If he loved her, he would have never broken up with her without hesitation when
he was about to propose to her.
As she was absorbed in her thought, Tyler said, “Go apologize to Vicky when
you have the chance. I’ll handle the rest.”
Sheila’s breath caught in her chest as she gaped in disbelief.
Tyler ignored the expression on her face and stood up. “I still have work to do,
so I’m going now
