Semua Bab Ms. York's Second Proposal: Bab 601 - Bab 610

Celeste was in a mess, and Megan wasn’t faring much better.She had thought that Dora was just a minor interlude in their relationship, someone who was hardly worth mentioning. However, the situation didn’t calm down. Instead, it escalated.First, an interview video of Dora during her shooting was leaked online.Compared to the new generation of young actresses who were each a digital persona with managed Twitter accounts and scripted interviews, the older generation of top actresses like Dora had much more autonomy and freedom, making their interviews far more interesting.The media always circled back to the topic of romance and relationships in interviews with her.“I think everyone is different at various stages of their life. Although I’ve never been keen on marrying and having children, recently, my view on love has changed. I came to Taverdale for a movie and met someone who made my heart race when I was younger. I feel like crying whenever he looks at me. It’s all very ser

Not just Celeste but even Megan, the person involved, found it all incredibly bizarre.Winston had been single for so many years, and Dora had never shown any interest. Now that he was with Megan, Dora suddenly took a keen interest in him and wanted to give it a try.Before then, Megan had yet to really see Dora as a serious rival. She simply thought Dora didn't match her public image of being a classy lady."Some women are like that. They tend to steal other people’s men. If the man is single, they wouldn't be interested." Celeste had experienced it herself and offered her insight after hearing the whole story from Megan."What are you planning to do? Do you need me to do anything?" Celeste went on to ask."It's fine. I'll let Winston handle it himself. If he can't manage it, then he's not worth me loving him," Megan replied."That makes sense." Celeste had always supported her friend unconditionally in these situations.Dora's new movie needed publicity, and the rumor served t

Everything went as scripted initially at the movie press conference. Dora, a veteran of twenty years in the entertainment industry, managed to navigate without any slip-ups.It wasn't until half an hour later that a reporter raised a personal question about Dora’s love life."Ms. Cruz, you mentioned recently that you encountered an old flame from your youth. Are you two together now?" asked the reporter boldly.The room, filled with over a hundred people, fell silent. They were all waiting for Dora’s response.Megan watched coldly while sitting in a corner of the audience. She, too, wanted to hear what Dora would say.If Dora clarified the situation, Megan might consider letting this go. Otherwise, her acting career could very well end on this day.Dora appeared well-prepared for this question. She smiled and said, "Lately, everyone has been quite interested in my romantic life, finding many connections between Mr. Belasco and me. Here, I am reminded of a quote by Duras."Love f

The fact that a movie press conference ended in such chaos was completely unexpected by the production team.Surprisingly, such a grand event had no contingency plan for unexpected incidents. From the time Celeste took the stage to Ava's subsequent arrival, the media broadcast live, and no one stepped in to stop it.It was all over for both the movie and Dora.Dora's fellow actors stood by, with none stepping forward to intervene in the matter. Instead, they gave Celeste and Ava a wide berth on stage. Their expressions clearly mixed pity for their own wasted efforts but also a gleeful interest in the unfolding drama.As Celeste observed the fascinated expressions of the actors on stage, she was reminded of the saying, "All under heaven have long suffered under oppressive rule." The gap between Dora's public persona and her private actions was huge. Surely, she hadn't cultivated good relationships or connections.Ava was far above Dora in terms of status and popularity. Ava's publi

Celeste felt awkward when Ava exposed her."Mr. Sullivan is talented, no doubt, but he doesn't deserve you," Celeste spoke more bluntly than usual as the alcohol took effect.She typically avoided meddling in others' private affairs, but she genuinely thought Ava deserved better.Ava placed a hand on her shoulder with a deeper smile."You're now Sebastian's wife. Do you love him?"Without intending to hide her feelings, Celeste shook her head. "We're together because of fate's arrangement. I needed someone to fill the role of my husband back then, and Sebastian just happened to appear."Ava finished her drink in one gulp and opened another can. "Same for me.""You, of all people, have moments when you have no choice?"Celeste laughed at herself after asking that question. How could Ava not? Despite her privileged background and experiences, she was still human. Everyone was pushed by fate at times.Ava nodded. Her eyes were shadowed with sadness."The man I loved has passed a
