Everything Freya said was the truth. Once you joined a film crew, the schedule was out of your hands. A hundred different factors could affect the timeline, and as a screenwriter, her job was simply to keep up and not be the one holding things back; the rest wasn’t up to her.
Louis nodded. “Got it.”
Once everything was finally cooked and packed, Freya could finally start organizing her own things. Louis followed her into her room
This was probably the first time Louis had ever set foot in her bedroom. Freya didn’t think anything of it; there was nothing to hide. She always made her bed in the morning and kept everything neat and tidy–there wasn’t a thing in there that couldn’t be seen.
“You have everything you need?”
Wow, the boss actually cares enough to ask about my stuff. She thought
“Pretty much. I wasn’t missing much to begin with. For what I do need, I’ve made a list–I’ll go out later and pick everything
- up.
“You leaving this afternoon?”
“I was planning to, but I got a notice this morning saying the group isn’t meeting until tomorrow afternoon. So I’ll just head out tomorrow morning instead” Freya folded her clothes and packed them into her suitcase. “I rescheduled my bus ticket.”
“What Li
time tomorrow morning?”
“Around eight.”
“I’ll take you
Freya paused mid–fold “That’s not necessary. I’m taking the bus straight there–it goes directly to the station. Super convenient.”
“It’s settled.” Louis didn’t sound like he was offering–it was a decision
Fine if he wants to drive me, let him. It’s not like I’m the one being inconvenienced, Freya thought, not in the mood to argue over something so small.
The next morning. Louis drove her to the station. As Freya thanked him and reached for the door handle, she noticed that it was Louis who came along this time; Derek hadn’t shown up at all
“Be careful when you get there. If anything happens, let me know right away. And if everything’s fine, just check in.” Louis didn’t get out; he turned and looked at her seriously as he spoke.
“Don’t worry. I’m a grown adult–nothing’s going to happen.” Freya patted her chest with confidence. “I’ll take good care of myself. You do the same, alright? Let’s both work hard for our careers.”
“Alright. Let’s do our best.” Louis finally opened the door and walked her inside the station. He watched her board the bus and didn’t leave until it pulled away.
A gorgeous guy seeing off an equally gorgeous girl–passersby couldn’t help but stare. Some of them even started whispering.
One girl smacked her boyfriend lightly on the arm. “Look at that guy–so handsome, and he still makes the effort to come see his girlfriend off. Look at you! Not as good–looking, not as well–dressed, not as classy, and always so lazy”
The guy, who’d just been sneaking peeks at Freya, internally rolled his eyes. If you looked like that woman, I’d worship you like a queen. All you see is the guy–tall, rich, and stylish. Hote about you take a good look at yourself before you start nitpicking me?
But his survival instincts kicked in fast; before the words left his mouth, he pivoted smoothly, “Come on, that’s different. If I had his money and looks, you wouldn’t be taking a bus; I’d get you a private car every day. Think about it–he’s got the looks and the cash, but he still let her take a bus? No way they’re actually dating”
The girl blinked. “You’re right. If she were his girlfriend, there’s no way he’d let her take a bus. If he did, that’d make him a

total cheapskate. That’s pretty scummy.”

“Exactly. That’s why you’re better off with someone like me. Even if I only have a dollar, I’d still split it with you. Maybe I don’t have much, but no one can beat me when it comes to heart. That’s better than just judging from appearances, right?” the guy said. jumping on the momentum.
“You’re right, honey. I was being silly.” The girl immediately threw her arms around him, voice soft and sweet.
“It’s all good, babe. No matter how silly you get, you’re still the best in my eyes. You’re my little sweetheart, my sugar plum, he cooed
Freya sat just in front of them, overhearing the entire conversation crystal clear. Wow. Just like that, Louis got branded a scumbag for me reason. Creal
But then again, they weren’t an actual couple. The fact that Louis had taken the time to drive her all the way there was mor than enough. With the VR MMO launching in two days, his company was probably insanely busy.
Freya pondered. The fact that he could make time for this was already more than generous. Besides, Louis’s company won’t even turning a real profit yet. Am I seriously supposed to expect he to hire a driver to take her to the production site just because we were married on paper? Even in my dreams, I wouldn’t dare hope for that
