Chapter 248
Even until the elevator had started descending, the actresses remained dazed.
After a while, one of the girls said, “I don’t think she’s here looking for Sheila.”
“L.don’t think so either.”
“But then…”
They turned and looked into each other’s eyes in realization.
There were only two presidential suites on the highest floor of the hotel, and if Vicky was not there to look for Sheila, she could only be there for one other person.
A few days later, Vicky received a call from Charlie when she had gotten out of the shower and was about to rest.
“Vicky, I’m about to leave Zendonia.”
She remained quiet for a few moments and said, “It’s not that bad to leave and start over somewhere new.”
“I heard from Jules that you’ve been helping me… Thank you.”
Vicky glanced outside the window and said, “Don’t thank me. To be honest… I’m the reason why you had to go through all that. I’m sorry for making you leave.”
“Vicky, don’t be sorry. I’m the one at fault here,” he said gently and sighed.” Had I not broken up with her for my career, everything would’ve been different. I guess what goes around, comes around… My career started when I broke up with her, and now it’s ending because of her.”
Though Charlie did not blame her, Vicky was still overwhelmed by guilt. “If only you didn’t get to know me, this might not have happened…”
Charlie had, at this point, figured out her relationship with Tyler and whispered, “It’ll happen anyway. I met with my ex-girlfriend yesterday, and she said that she was waiting for me to get really famous before exposing my secrets to the public. All that happened has only been moved up the schedule. I might’ve been imprisoned for a few days, but she considered my debt to be paid and decided not to expose the rest.”
Vicky scowled. “The rest…?”
Charlie chuckled bitterly. “When we broke up, she was pregnant with my child and was so devastated that she lost the baby…so this is all just karma’s work. I can’t blame anyone for this.”
Vicky was at a loss for words.
She could not judge whether or not Charlie was a good person, but she also could not deny the fact that his life was ruined because of her.
There was not a trace of resentment in his voice. “Vicky, I’m boarding the flight now. From now on… take care of yourself.”
Feeling a lump in her throat, she said, “Yeah. You, too.”
“Goodbye, Vicky.”
“Goodbye.”
They both knew they would never see each other again.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
As Charlie left the country, the scandals surrounding him faded, and the production crew returned to work.
Charlie’s character was replaced by another up-and-rising actor and everything fell back into place. However, after some time, an unknown rumor began to circulate among the crew, and everyone started to look at Vicky with a rather judgemental look. Even Mindy seemed to be hesitant to approach her.
Vicky knew what had happened and did not attempt to explain herself. She simply absorbed herself in work despite the odd looks she was getting.
Two days later, someone knocked on the door to the costume room.
“Miss Sparks, your costume for the movie is precisely according to your request.”
Following the sound of high heels tapping on the floor, a beautiful woman walked in proudly and Vicky scowled.
The staff hurried over with a big smile and said, “Miss Sparks, this is the person in charge of costumes, Miss Shaw.”
