I looked into his distant eyes. Suddenly, I remembered his passionate kiss this morning before I left.
His fans praised his acting skills. I agreed that Daniel was a talented actor.
Suddenly finding it all pointless, I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist. Daniel’s expression turned serious at me.
“Apologize to the young lady.”
“Daniel, you have no right!”
I turned around and coldly cursed. Daniel leaned in close to me.
He then said, stressing each word, “Felicia, I don’t want to be angry tonight.”
“What do you mean? Afraid of scaring your little darling?”
I provocatively tugged at his tie. It was a Windsor knot, which I tied with my own hands. Now, it smelled of another woman’s perfume.
“Felicia, stay away from Daniel!”
Emily suddenly rushed forward and slapped my hand away.
“Daniel, I don’t want any apologies! Why does everyone want to steal you away?”
She threw herself at Daniel. Her voice trembled with tears.
It was a childish statement, yet Daniel listened patiently.
He chuckled softly and gently wiped away Emily’s tears. “Sweetheart, I’ll only go with you. Is that alright?”
“I won’t believe you unless... unless you make a promise with me!”
Daniel didn’t refuse. Only then did Emily’s tears turn to laughter.
I listened quietly to the gasps around me, already picturing tomorrow’s headlines.

Daniel was probably genuinely angry because he didn’t say a word to me until the event ended. Emily leaned against his shoulder, smiling happily.
“Felicia, tonight was my fault. I apologize.”
When we reached the underground parking garage, Daniel unexpectedly followed me out. I stared at the contract termination agreement on my phone screen, not responding.
“That young lady only wants sensation and popularity. If we don’t give it to her, she’ll make a scene.”
Danielle leaned against my car with one hand, looking down at me. It was actually about last night, when I brought him the hangover soup and stumbled upon the scene.
I saw that girl. Her eyes were red and kept chugging after a glass of liquor.
“Felicia’s reputation was built on drinking! So, I can do it too.”
“Daniel, I’ll try harder to become more useful. Please pay more attention to me.”
She didn’t need to try. Daniel doted on her, wishing the whole world would make way for his little girl.
