Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

The crowd was stunned.

Everleigh froze when she heard his voice. Following the crowd’s line of sight, she spotted a familiar figure.

He was tall and eye-catching, and he was dressed in a formal black suit. His facial features were clear-cut and calm. His eyes hinted at coldness as the stare locked on hers.

“Mr. Godfrey…” Selena’s face turned slightly pale.

She still remembered that at the Trevino family’s birthday party, Theodore defended Everleigh in front of everyone. It couldn’t be a coincidence that he was here again that day, and it made her uneasy.

“It seems like this actress speaks for all the crew members.” Theodore’s expression was cold, and his voice icy. “Is she allowed to detain a crew member?”

The expression on the director’s face changed, and he said, “Of course not, this is a miscommunication.”

As he said that, he quickly winked at Selena. “Right, Selena?”

Selena cared about her reputation, especially among the crew members. Apart from the director, she didn’t care what anyone else had to say. The credibility and prestige she had built up with great difficulty just vanished before her eyes, causing her to turn red with embarrassment.

“I was just discussing the script with our medical expert. Things got a little heated, I’m sorry.”

The director let out a sigh of relief and said, “Look, Mr. Godfrey, I told you, it was just a misunderstanding. They were just talking about the script.”

Theodore asked, “Really? What were you talking about? Tell me about it.”

No one expected Theodore to pursue the matter further. After all, it was already odd enough that he, an investor, took time off to visit the set. His time was precious, after all.

Everyone was stunned. Those around Everleigh started to look at her with suspicion.

Selena panicked, not knowing what to say. The chilly atmosphere around them intensified.

The air seemed to be stagnant, and no one dared even to breathe.

Everleigh frowned. She didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so she just waved the script in her hand. She explained immediately, “We were talking about the scene in the operating room. I said that no doctor wears heels, but Selena seemed to think that dramas and reality are separate and cannot be truly combined. Thus, we had some disagreements over that.”

Selena didn’t think that Everleigh was going to help her case. She was stunned for a moment. After seeing the director’s frantic signaling, she quickly said, “Yes, Mr. Godfrey, that was all. Now that I think about it, I wasn’t open-minded enough. I’ll listen to Dr. Trevino in the future. After all, she’s the professional.”

Although she said that, she definitely disagreed.

If it weren’t for Theodore, she would never concede to Everleigh. It was a humiliation.

She thought that that would be the end of the matter, but Theodore suddenly asked, “Isn’t a medical expert’s opinion only regarding medicine? Why is she giving her opinion on the actress’s outfit?”

The entire argument switched to a completely different direction.

Everleigh’s heart skipped a beat. She looked at Theodore in shock.

Just a second ago, she thought Theodore was here to help her out, but the aggressive words were still ringing in her ears. It was clear that the situation wasn’t playing out the way she expected.

Selena was also shocked, not understanding what was going on.

Theodore looked at Everleigh coldly. “Shouldn’t everyone just be responsible for their own part?”

Everleigh didn’t see the point in arguing with him. She just frowned and didn’t say a word.

The director next to him stepped out to ease things over and said, “Yes, Mr. Godfrey is right. Everyone should do their part right. Then everything can be done efficiently. Come, come, let’s get some rest. Mr. Godfrey has brought snacks for everyone. Pass them around.”

Everleigh glanced behind Theodore out of the corner of her eye. She saw several assistants holding coffee and desserts in their hands. Obviously, he was there to check up on someone at work.

“Was he here to see Selena?” She thought.

The people on set were busy distributing the food. Selena approached Theodore and whispered something to him with the script in her hands. She looked like she was flirting with him.

Everleigh was not far away. Seeing the closeness between the two, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Wasn’t Theodore going to marry Josephine? Why was he that close to Selena?

Forget it. It was none of her business.

She clenched the script in her hand silently and told one of the staff members, “Walter, I have something else to do, so I’m leaving.”

Her two children were still at home, so she had to go home early.

Before the staff member spoke, a cold voice came from a distance, “I’ve just arrived, but Dr. Trevino is in a hurry to leave. Do you have something against me?”

Everleigh’s face froze. She summoned up her courage and said, “I still have matters to tend to at home.”

“The filming is still ongoing. The cast and director haven’t left, so can the medical expert leave?”

“But…”

“I’m not interested in the reason.” Theodore’s cold eyes swept past her. “It looks like the filming crew has to consider hiring a new medical expert. Someone who can’t follow the schedule isn’t fit for the team.”

As soon as he finished his words, Everleigh’s face turned pale immediately.

This job was her first job since her suspension. If she did it well, she might be able to go back soon. However, Theodore had brashly declared that they should find somebody else to replace her. If this were spread to Mr. Lawson, he would probably think that she made a mistake on the job.

“There’s no need for that. I have no problem complying with the time.” She quickly put down the script, pulled out a chair, and sat down, taking a sip of the coffee.

Hearing them call each other ‘Mr. Godfrey’ and ‘Dr. Trevino’ like strangers, Selena felt like there was something off between the two of them.

At the very least, she was certain that Theodore and Everleigh were definitely not engaged. The possibility of them being a couple was pretty slim too. After all, Everleigh had just returned to the country not long ago. How was it possible for her to date Theodore?

As she thought, she heaved a sigh of relief. She brought the script closer to Theodore. “Mr. Godfrey, there’s a line here that I feel that we should change. What do you think?”

Her arms were almost completely pressed against Theodore’s. The two were very close to each other. Those who didn’t know would think that they were a couple.

Theodore’s brows furrowed slightly. His eyes flitted towards the figure sitting on the chair not far away. Instead of pushing her away, he praised her, “You’ve changed it quite well.”

Selena’s eyes lit up, and she became more and more insatiable. “There’s another line here. Maybe you can take a look…”

Everleigh lowered her head and tried to avoid looking at them. Even so, she felt like the dessert in her mouth was bitter and that she was sitting on a stack of needles.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Dr. Trevino, are you alright? Why do you look sick?” A staff member next to her asked out of concern.

“I’m fine.” Everleigh smiled. “I’m just going to the bathroom.”

The sound of water swishing filled the bathroom as Everleigh wiped her hands. The face she saw in the mirror was slightly pale. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to compose herself.

“You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Otherwise, if you think too highly of yourself, you’ll think that a man like Theodore would fall for you.”

A sarcastic voice came from behind her.
