For a brief moment, the entire room fell silent before the atmosphere quickly turned heated and suggestive.
Wade, holding his glass of water, glanced at me out of the corner of his eye as if he had just made a groundbreaking discovery.
“Chloe, you know, you actually look a bit like Linda Dawson.”
Pressing my lips together, I forced a smile. “She’s a celebrity. You’re giving me too much credit.”
Of course, we looked alike.
Because she was my sister.
…
“I heard that during your illness, Miss Dawson stayed by your side without wavering. Are the two of you about to make it official?”
My throat tightened as I looked at Liam on stage.
He curved his lips slightly and raised his left hand, revealing a simple silver ring on his ring finger.
It was the same one I bought years ago with my part-time earnings, just to cheer him up.
For someone of his status, wearing such a cheap ring seemed completely out of place.
Yet, he brushed his fingertips over it as if he didn’t notice.
“Yes, we’re getting engaged soon.”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over the audience, pausing, intentionally or not, on me in the far corner.
Just for a few seconds before pulling away.
The microphone was then handed to Linda.
“Miss Dawson, I heard you’re currently filming a project with Mr. Reed. He rarely works with new actors—did Mr. Hughes have anything to do with that?”
