Semua Bab Roommates With My Best Friend's Boyfriend : Bab 111 - Bab 120

BIANCAThere I was, taking a bow in front of a crowd that only just moments ago, were probably picking out the soggiest, most unripe tomatoes to batter us with on stage.In a matter of moments, our fates hate changed. What was already taking shape asthe new worst day of my life, had transitioned to the best performance I'd seen live… all because of the guy taking a bow behind me. Theo Campbell.***“My Romeo!” Stephanie jumped into his arms the very second we got downstairs. “You were amazing out there.”Theo laughed and wrapped a strong arm around her waist for support. “Couldn't have done it without my Juliet” he smiled. “You're really good. Thank you for helping me out when I forgot my lines a bit.”“Of course. The pleasure's all mine.”The pair seemed to forget the were still in public, and all of us could see this little intimate display backstage.Tiffany cleared her through, and Stephanie suddenly realised that.She hopped off Theo, but kept a close distance with him.The pra

BIANCAI couldn't eat.The warm scent of buttery steak and expensive wine filled the room, seeping through my senses with a gentle, inviting spell.Yet I could barely even eat. Worst part? I was fucking starving.“Do you not like the food here?” I heard, and suddenly snapped back to it. My eyes met his plate first, and noticed he hadn't taken a bite yet either. When I lifted my gaze, Theo returned it with a clearly worried look. “If you want to go somewhere else then—”“No” I said softly. “It's… the food is great. I was the one that recommended here, remember?”The concern across this face didn't die down. And I really didn't want to ruin the mood. “How bout we just talk?” I offered. “Get to know each other a little.”“Okay” he dropped his fork. “What do you want to know?”I managed a smile. “Don't get the wrong idea about this, I just really needed to get it off my mind.”He nodded.“How did you… get our script? I noticed you had it with you when you came to the convention. I d

Chapter 135BIANCAI had to give it to him. The dedication to this act was impeccable.“Are you sure it’s the same guy from earlier?” Tiffany whispered, leaning toward me while pretending to take notes.“Is it just me or is he pretty hot,” Stephanie muttered from my other side, not even bothering to hide the way her eyes dragged over him.Unsurprisingly, she hadn’t written down a single thing. Just eye-fucked Brian the entire class like he was the main course and she was starving.And then… there was me.I sat rigid in my seat, pen frozen above my notebook, trying to process the fact that the man who’d bought out the restaurant I'd reserved just to end up not even acknowledging my presence, was now standing at the front of the lecture hall in a crisp button-down, sleeves rolled up, looking every inch the composed professor.Coincidence? I really doubted that.“That’ll be it for today,” Brian said smoothly, closing the discussion on modern literary adaptation after an hour and a half o

VANESSAMy hands wouldn’t stop trembling on the steering wheel. No matter how hard I gripped it, the shaking traveled up my arms and into my chest. Ragged breaths slipped from my lips despite every attempt to steady myself. The engine idled beneath me, a low rumble that did nothing to drown out the memories screaming in my head.I couldn’t even close my eyes.Every time I tried, I saw her again… Tessa Lang. Behind that polished exterior of cold business deals and a warm, disarming smile that fooled nearly everyone, I saw the monster she truly was. Ruthless. Cruel. Unforgettable.“Vanessa?” Max’s voice cut through the night as he limped through the gates toward the car.I didn’t look at him. I could feel his concerned stare burning into the side of my face, but I kept my gaze fixed straight ahead.“Look, I’m sorry if—”“You should call an Uber to take you home,” I said flatly, turning the key in the ignition. The engine roared to life. “Or ask your handler to drop you off. I’m getting

BIANCA “W–what?” I stuttered. “What are you taking about?”“You know exactly what I'm talking about.”“No I don't” I gently pulled my hair back and tied it into a bun. “That's… weird. And if Vanessa's the one that told you that, then she's letting through her teeth.”“She didn't tell me” Katie smiled, sinking her soon into the tub of ice-cream. “But your reaction just now confirmed it.”I wouldn't budge. I wouldn't accept defeat either. But then, Tiffany tilted, and a knowing flint flashes across her eyes. “Whenever you like, you do that” she gestured to my hands, trying to knot my hair into a hint and failing woefully.The sting of realization hit hard and fast. “Stuck between two brothers. That's crazy. No wonder you've been so secretive” she hit the nail on the head. “It's… not like that. I prom—”“Don't promise” she moved the tub so there'd be nothing between us. “Explain. I want to know exactly what's going on.”I could lie. Maybe even avoid speaking about by brining up Theo.
