They Used Me, I Exposed Their Act

Chapter 2

After that night, Ethan hit me up for video calls every single day.

For her part, Camilla never missed a chance to approach whenever we interacted. She even found my w******p through the company staff group and sent me a message.

Camilla: Sophia, you said before you'd get me a spot on the 'Run' show. Does that offer still stand, or did you forget?

I smiled and replied…

Sophia: Of course it stands. The entire show lineup has just been waiting for you.

The director from the jewelry brand told me the day before that Ethan had bought a ring with my name engraved on it.

I knew that man inside and out. There was zero doubt he planned to stage a grand proposal to me live on the 'Run' set, all to milk the attention and boost his own popularity.

That was why I had invited Camilla to witness it with her own eyes.

When evening rolled around, Run officially dropped its full guest list. Both Ethan's and Camilla's names were right there on it.

Ethan held up his phone, eyebrows shooting up in clear surprise.

"Wait, Camilla's joining too? That newcomer is pretty good. I have acted opposite her on set before, she has real potential."

His face was completely calm and unconcerned, like he was just talking about some total stranger.

Staring at him, I flashed right back to that video I'd seen the other night.

My stomach twisted hard, a wave of hot nausea rolling up my throat.

'What a fantastic actor. How the hell had I never realized he was this skilled at putting on a show before?'
