Taking advantage of the buzz, my agent swiftly got me a spot on a popular live reality show.
Upon entering the lobby, I saw Alan and Judy glued together, the center of attention.
The two were surrounded by people and gradually lost themselves in the praise.
Rolling my eyes, I felt nothing but bad vibes.
"Judy is from a well-heeled family, unlike Gloria, who's just a nobody. She is overestimating her own abilities."
"Yes. Alan and Judy are a perfect match!"
I heard these words as I approached.
When everyone realized that it was me, they fell silent.
There was a bit of discomfort on their faces as they were caught.
I took off my sunglasses and raised an eyebrow. "To have lived over twenty years and now to witness so many gossips for the first time."
After saying that, my eyes then turned to Alan in the center.
The scoundrel averted his gaze.
My lips curved into a mocking smile. "Oh, I forgot it. There's also a toad in a frog's skin here!"
"Not only ugly but also a player."
Almost everyone present had a dark face.
The program crew noticed something was wrong and quickly organized everyone to get to the point.
This episode introduced two new couples, including Alan and Judy.
The director announced, "Due to a last-minute cancellation by our final guest, Gloria will have to participate solo."
This statement was met with ridicule.
"She deserves to be alone."
The comment came from a famously outspoken female singer, Emma.
Others looked at me with mocking smiles.
I responded with a slight smile.
"Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your sincere wish!"
Being unwanted by men is actually the sincerest blessing for an independent woman of the 21st century.
I hope I never encounter another scumbag in my life!
Emma glared at me.
The director opportunistically spoke up, "I hear each male guest has prepared a special gift for the lady who captivates his heart!"
Several men took out their gifts.
The female guests showed expressions of surprise.
"Wow, Alan has actually prepared a huge diamond ring!"
Excited murmurs spread through the crowd.
Everyone looked enviously at Judy.
The woman basked in her moment.
She touched her hair and said nonchalantly.
"Alan loves giving jewels and gems, but I'm not one to care for such material things, because I know he loves me."
Judy said, blushing as she extended her hand for him to put the ring on.
Alan looked arrogant and complacent.
