Said I didn’t Love Him But I Lied

“Director, Group A’s camera is in place.”

“Group B is set too.”

“Okay, then let’s get ready for the next take.”

After the cameras were in position, the crew was ready to shoot. Everleigh walked away from the operation table.

Leaving the set, she could only walk in one direction. There was no way she could avoid running into Theodore. All she could do was brace herself.

“Come on. Every department gets ready. And, action.”

…

The only background noise on set was the sound of the cameras moving. The sound man raised the microphones higher as Selena, dressed in her scrubs, recited her lines.

Everleigh moved sideways to make way for the cameras and soundman, but her feet got caught between some cables, and she stumbled. Thankfully someone reached out and caught her before she fell.

At first, all she saw was another hand that caught her hand. She raised her head to thank the person, but she looked up and saw Theodore’s face. His dark eyes stared at her silently.

She mouthed the words ‘thank you’ to him, then proceeded to pull her hand out of his grasp. Before anyone else could sense that something was off, she quickly walked further away from him.

There were not many people in the operating room as silence was required on set. Any irrelevant personnel was told to leave. Apart from the sound of the actors reciting their lines and the whirring of the cameras, everyone else was dead silent.

“Cut.” The director raised his hand. “Selena? What’s the matter? Why did you make the same mistake again? You can’t get the grip wrong. This is a medical drama, so the way you hold the instruments is important.”

Selena, who felt wronged, said, “Director, I’ve tried my best. I’ve been practicing the whole morning, so my hand hurts.”

“Let’s have lunch now. Nobody is leaving until we get this take.”

As soon as he finished his sentence, the entire crew sighed.

Selena’s lips tightened into a straight line, feeling a little embarrassed. After putting down the props in her hand, she pushed the makeup artist out of the way and asked, “Where is Mr. Godfrey?”

The makeup artist was stunned for a moment. She looked around and said with some doubt, “He was here a minute ago. He might have left.”

Selena looked around. She noticed that the only two people missing from the operation room were Theodore and Everleigh.

At that moment, everyone was distributing the food Theodore bought.

Everleigh was passing by when Zack handed her one, “Dr. Trevino, this is the cake and coffee that Mr. Godfrey is treating us to.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. By the way, the director told us to have our lunch. They’re probably going to hand out the lunchboxes soon. Should I bring one to your room?”

“Okay, thank you.”

Everleigh stood in the same place and looked down at the small cake in her hand. She had mixed feelings.

The transparent box was tied up with a beautiful blue bow with a red velvet cake inside. There was a strawberry on top, and it looked very appetizing.

She had a sweet tooth since she was a child. Obviously, Adrienne took after her.

Just as she sat down in the lounge and opened the box, she heard someone knocking on the door.

“Come in. The door isn’t locked.” She leaned her arm on the back of the chair and turned to see who it was. The moment the door opened, she saw Theodore and froze.

“Why is it you?”

“Are you disappointed?” Theodore closed the door. “Who did you think it was?”

Everleigh was stunned for a moment and was speechless.

Theodore looked at her coldly. “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“What am I supposed to say?” She did not understand.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Did my mom come to see you yesterday?”

Everleigh was stunned. “How did you know?”

“Is it so hard for me to find out?”

Everleigh pursed her lips. Since Theodore knew that Madison came to see her, why did he not ask her about it the day before? Why did he take the effort to come to look for her there that day?

“Did you come here just for this?”

“Answer my question. What did she say?”

His tone was so firm that she felt like she was being interrogated for doing something wrong. This confused her, so she frowned and flashed him a puzzled look.

“If you want to know, you can ask her yourself.”

Theodore sneered, “You think I didn’t try? I never thought that after going abroad for seven years, you’d come back and backstab your own friend.”

“Backstab?” Everleigh’s frown deepened. “What the hell are you talking about?”

“Take a look for yourself,” Theodore threw an envelope on the table and said, “Do you think you can mess up my wedding with Josephine if you gave this to my mother?”

Everleigh’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately opened the envelope.

Inside, there was a photo and a letter of the indictment.

In the photo, there was a young girl with a bloody nose and a swollen face.

“What is this?” Everleigh did not understand what it was and what it had to do with her.

“What’s wrong?” Theodore sneered. “Did you lose your memory in less than a day? If you had the guts to get a photo of Josephine’s nanny and convince her to file a letter of indictment towards Josephine and then tell my mother that she isn’t as nice as she seems, you shouldn’t have a problem admitting that you did that.”

“Josephine’s nanny?” Everleigh’s expression suddenly changed as she looked at the items in her hand. It took her a few seconds to process what was going on. When she finally figured it out, she flew into a rage.

“Your mother said I gave this to her? You think that I’d do something like this to come between you and Josephine? Theodore, what sort of person do you take me for?”

As she said that, she slammed her hand on the table and stood up, staring furiously at him.

After returning from overseas, she had been tolerant of him. What happened seven years ago was indeed her fault. She did feel guilty for causing him all that pain. However, there was no way she would allow someone to use her guilty conscience to slander her. Right now, she could not help but wonder if what had happened to her seven years ago was because of him.

“What do I take you for?” Theodore’s eyes were dark and full of contempt. “Shouldn’t you know that yourself?”

Everleigh clenched her fists and said, “I can’t admit to something I didn’t do. This had nothing to do with me.”

Seeing how mad she was, Theodore couldn’t help but frown.

He had actually hoped that she had done it.

The moment this idea flashed through his mind, he was stunned.

“Everleigh.” A man’s voice came from the door. “I’m going to have lunch. Do you want to have lunch…”

The door wasn’t closed, and Stainley’s figure appeared at the door. When he saw Theodore, he could not even finish his sentence.

Theodore stared at him. “What are you doing here?”

Before he could speak, Everleigh walked over to him with her bag. She said, “Stainley, you’re going for lunch, right? Let’s go.”

She walked past Theodore like he was nothing but air. She did not give him another glance.

“Oh, okay.” Stainley looked at Theodore hesitantly and nodded towards him. Then, he caught up with Everleigh outside the door.

The two of them walked away together from the lounge. Theodore’s eyes glanced at the untouched cake on the table, and his face was extremely dark.
