Xavier stood stiffly in place as she told her coolly, ‘You should have known better. What’s the
point of saying all that now?!”
“I made a mistake, Xavier. Can’t you forgive me? I’ve already made it clear to the old man
that I would be with you... even if he’s going to cancel me!”
The woman grabbed his waist like her life depended on it and cried a river— she was none
other than Shirley White, the star actress whom Xavier brought to stardom and the one who
occupied a part of his heart-and the reason he had a chip on his shoulder!
Their story was one you would find in romance novels-the rich showbiz tycoon falling in love
at first sight with the young actress with modest roots. He then broke the bank to push her
towards stardom, even keeping himself chaste for her, as if Casanova himself decided to
reform...
In fact, anyone searching for Xavier’s name online would always yield results for Shirley as
well. Countless netizens fawned over them, wrote fanfiction, and shipped them to kingdom
come.
And yet, this heartwarming ship suddenly capsized as they drifted apart. They were never
seen together since last year, and they now seemed to be complete strangers. Xavier once
again regained his reputation as a Casanova.
Even so, Shirley’s career was unaffected-in fact, it even rose to new heights. It was,
therefore, inevitable that rumors of Shirley finding herself a new backer started circulatingshe betrayed Xavier after all he did for
her, who in turn reverted to his old ways...
“Ahem!”
Leia cleared her throat awkwardly even as she stayed in bed, having seen them hugging at
the door.
‘There’s... someone else?”
Shirley did not seem to panic as she looked up from Xavier’s arms, looking past his
shoulder to the woman on the bed.
She was no idiot—she knew there was another woman in Xavier’s bed the instant she
stepped through that door.
“Xavier, if this is how you wanted to get back at me, congratulations.
You’ve succeeded. It hurts so much I could die, but I won’t blame you...”
Shirley wept uncontrollably, her fair face that looked like something out of a poster now
looking utterly miserable. “You’ve now hurt me just like how I’ve hurt you, so we’re even.
Can we stop this now?”
She stood on her toes, her rosy lips pressing against his as she let her tears roll. “Let’s not
hurt each other anymore, alright? Or involve an innocent person...”
Xavier scowled as he pushed her away, his completely devoid of warmth. “I believe I’ve
made it clear I’ve no intention for revenge. Leia and I are in a normal relationship.”
“Hah! A normal relationship?”
Shirley snorted and strode upto Leia, snapping haughtily, “I’m sorry, but my boyfriend has
been rather inconsiderate, using you to upset me. We have some personal issues to sort
out right now, so do you mind leaving?”
“Why? Didn’t you just hear that we’re in a relationship? You’re the one who should be
leaving.”
Leia got out of bed in Xavier’s t-shirt, which stretched all the way to her thighs and made her
appear indescribably relaxed.
Shirley felt like she was cut to the quick.
“Y-You’re letting her wear your clothes?”
Her voice choked with tears. “Weren’t you a clean freak who wouldn’t let women touch your
clothes?”
Leia was delighted to hear that, and did not hold back. “Yes. As you can see, I’m special to
him. So I suggest you show some tact, leave, and perhaps you might just not humiliate
yourself.”
“You’re just wearing his clothes, and you think you’re special? Don’t be so full of yourselfyou may be special to him, but there are
plenty of special people around him. They all came
and left, but I’ve remained his one-and- only. I’m irreplaceable.”
“What...”
