Xanthea nodded.
sudden confession, “Benjamin, are you joking?”
She’d never imagined he’d have feelings for her, especially since he was the famous movie king in the industry, undoubtedly surrounded by admirers. Why would he fall for someone he just met?
Although his behavior in the elevator, like touching her head, was odd, she merely thought of him as a friend of her uncle’s, treating her like a younger family member without reading too much into it.
“I’m sorry, so sorry!”
Realizing what was happening, her first reaction was to apologize to him.
Hearing her apology, the light in Benjamin’s eyes dimmed, just like the bright sunlight at the door of the resting room, quietly swallowed by the shadow that had come over
“Is this a rejection? Because of Orion?”
Although Xanthea didn’t know how he guessed it, she nodded, “Yeah”

“It’s fine, I’ve brought a change of clothes. May I use your fitting room?”
“Go ahead!”
Xanthea gestured with her hand.
Benjamin, took his clothing bag and walked into the fitting room.
“Whew!”
Xanthea watched as the curtain slowly fell, sighing and scratching her head. How did such an awkward situation happen.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
A sudden knock on the door startled her Thinking it was Ryan, she was about to speak when she heard a deep, magnetic voice “Xannie, are you there?”
Orion?l
She immediately became alert, glancing at the fitting room and then at the door.
