Chapter 87: Fate?

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Fate?

To make himself happy, he closed his eyes and imagined the scene where he had already become a famous actor.

The same director who insulted him would be flattering him,

’Sir, please have tea.’

But he will wave his hand and throw the tea and say in an arrogant voice,

’Hmph! Don’t me you ass like face! I feel like puking! Also don’t blow rainbow farts too, they smell like garbage!’

Theodore felt a bit better after relieving his secret fantasies.

Just then, the director shouted,

"Theodore, what are you zoning out for? Come here!"

Theodore snapped out of his daydream, quickly schooling his features into a pleasant expression.

He had barely taken a step forward when the director’s sharp voice rang out again.

"Are you deaf now, too? Move faster!"

By the time the shoot was ended, Theodore couldn’t bring himself to smile at all.

After exiting the shoot, he sat on a nearby bench and sighed.

Life was difficult, but today he felt as if he was some worthless actor destined to live in mediocrity.

Was he truly going to remain a nameless actor throughout his entire life?

Suddenly he thought about Aurora’s letter and opened it.

"Dear my soon to be a famous actor brother, I wanted to let you know that one day you will become a well known star.

How do I know it? Well, it is because I can guess the future just like how I know about my coma. Only according to my predictions you have to stay away from woman whose name starts with ’E’.

Also, don’t use your brain to look at the situation differently. Sometimes it’s not fate, it is just some passerby.

PS: I love you and I know you will become a famous actor."

"Eh? Woman? Aurora is truly strange. Why would I get involved with any woman?" Theodore muttered.

Yet the heaviness in his heart seemed to have faded the moment he read the letter.

Just then, someone tapped on his shoulder.

He looked up, and his breath caught in his throat.

Standing before him was a woman of breathtaking beauty.

Her golden curls cascaded down her shoulders in elegant waves, shimmering under the dim evening light.

Her deep ocean-blue eyes, filled with kindness and curiosity, studied him with an expression that sent an unfamiliar flutter through his chest.

She offered him a smile, one so radiant that for a moment, Theodore forgot about the harsh words hurled at him earlier.

"Hey," she said, her voice light and melodic. "Are you okay? You looked kind of lonely sitting here."

Theodore blinked, momentarily at a loss for words. It wasn’t every day that a woman as stunning as her approached him.

Hastily composing himself, he gave a small, awkward chuckle.

"Oh, um, yeah. I’m fine. Just... thinking about some things."

She tilted her head, her golden locks swaying with the motion.

"That’s good to hear. For a second, I thought you might have had a really bad day."

He let out a short laugh, rubbing the back of his head. "You wouldn’t be wrong."

Her gaze softened with understanding, but then a playful glint entered her eyes. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, I was just walking by and couldn’t help but notice something."

Theodore raised an eyebrow. "Notice what?"

"That you’re really handsome," she said with a cheeky grin.

"And, well, I was wondering if I could have your number."

Theodore’s eyes widened in surprise, his heart doing an uncharacteristic flip.

A beautiful woman asking for his number? It felt like something out of a dream.

However, his excitement was quickly replaced by embarrassment when he remembered the cheap, outdated phone in his pocket.

The last thing he wanted was for her to see it and form an impression based on that.

Feigning a bashful smile, he scratched the back of his head.

"Ah... I, um, can’t give away my number."

Her lips parted slightly in surprise. "Oh? Why not?"

"Well, you see..." He scrambled for an excuse. "I’m an actor. It’s... you know, a professional thing."

Her eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Really? That’s amazing! What kind of work have you done?"

Theodore hesitated, his mind whirling for an answer that wouldn’t make him sound too unimpressive.

"Uh, well... my movie hasn’t been released yet. It’s all kind of confidential at the moment."

To his relief, she didn’t seem to doubt him. Instead, she giggled, her laughter like the soft chime of bells.

"Oh, how mysterious. That makes me want to see it even more. I hope it becomes a huge hit!"

Guilt gnawed at him for stretching the truth, and he sighed, deciding to be a little more honest.

"To be fair, I only have a small and insignificant role. It’s not really a big deal."

She shook her head, her curls bouncing with the motion. "Hey, don’t say that! Every actor starts somewhere.

Today, you might be playing a small role, but someday, you’re going to be the star."

Theodore’s heart skipped a beat at her words.

It had been a long time since someone had believed in him so earnestly, without any judgment or condescension.

There was something about her optimism that was infectious, as if she carried a little pocket of sunshine wherever she went.

"Thanks," he murmured, a genuine smile tugging at his lips. "That means a lot."

She nudged his shoulder playfully. "Well, I meant it."

They continued chatting, their conversation flowing effortlessly.

She was a lively conversationalist, full of laughter and animated expressions.

Her excitement about the simplest things was endearing, and before Theodore knew it, he had completely forgotten about his rough day.

After a while, she suddenly tilted her head, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"You know, you’re actually really fun to talk to."

Theodore chuckled. "I could say the same about you."

"Then," she said, a teasing lilt in her voice, "how about you become my boyfriend?"

Theodore nearly choked on air.

His face turned a brilliant shade of red, his brain short-circuiting as he struggled to process her words.

"W-What?"
