Chapter 1037
James looked at Esther's attire, a dress adorned with gold trimmings that made her look stunning.He grew a bit impatient. "Don't you think that actor has any intentions toward you?"
The way he looked at Esther wasn't just admiration for her pretty face. It was more like the desire aman would have for a woman.
"No. We've known each other for years. Why would he suddenly develop feelings for me? You'reoverthinking this. We've worked together, so of course, we'd interact..." Esther thought he wasexaggerating and because of the scene where they were supposed to kiss.
But James grew even more upset after hearing her response. "Men understand other men better."He shook his head. "So I've decided to get you a different male lead."
He had watched parts of the show and found it promising. It could boost Esther's popularity, but themale lead wasn't great. He had to go.
"You're really an investor?"
James took a deep breath, unsure of how to respond. How stupid was the woman he loved?
Esther didn't believe he was an investor. She thought he just made it up to scare her.
"I've invested in all the shows you've been in since your first one," James revealed.
Esther was stunned, her jaw dropping. "What… what did you say?"
"I pay much more attention to you than you realize," he admitted, his actions far more significantthan she could have imagined.
Unfortunately, this silly girl would never fully grasp it. She did as she pleased, disregarding hisfeelings and saying things that hurt him.
But what could he do? He dug his own grave, so now he had to lie in it.
"I was surprised by how quickly you fell for me. This is amazing. It wasn't love at first sight at all..."Esther murmured as she tried to process the information.
It was unexpected and unnerving.
"So, stop doubting my feelings for you, okay?"
Esther suddenly asked, "How long have you had feelings for me?"
James grabbed her shoulders, locking eyes with her. "Since you were sixteen. Four years. Not asingle day went by without me liking you."
Sixteen was the year she had fallen for Mobius. She had been smitten, wanting to spend everysecond with him.
"What do you like about me then?" Esther asked, feeling a bit bashful. She had a secret crushherself, and she wanted to know how it felt for someone to crush on her too.
Countless men secretly admired her, but she thought none of them compared to James.novelbin
