At that moment, she was letting down her hair.
Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, making her face look even more delicate and exquisite.
Damian leaned against the counter behind him, his long legs crossed, arms propped on the table.
He looked at the woman in the mirror, thinking about what Claudine had just said.
She said that when she was eighteen, she fell in love with him at first sight;
She said that the day she learned she could marry him, she was so excited she couldn’t sleep all night.
But she also said that after they got married, he treated her with tenderness and care, was romantic and passionate….
Was that the marriage she dreamed of?
But then what was with the divorce agreement?
What exactly was her relationship with Roberto now!
Damian had never felt so agitated because of a woman.
He took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, head lowered.
The sharp tobacco burned down his throat, slightly suppressing the restlessness in his heart.
Damian slowly exhaled a cloud of blue smoke, and inadvertently noticed a few sheets of paper nearby.
With nothing better to do, he picked them up and flipped through them, but his expression grew worse and worse.
The interview script…
So, all of this had been arranged by the production team in advance!
He didn’t bother to look at the details, but just seeing the topics–each one the host’s questions–he understood every- thing!
If the questions were arranged, then naturally, so were the answers!
Ha!
Damian tossed the script aside and looked up at the woman in the mirror!
What a so–called love at first sight!
Claudine, I never knew you had such a talent for acting!

What angered him even more was that he had almost believed it!
By now, Claudine had finished removing her makeup.
Without any makeup, her face looked as delicate and pitiful as a white lotus.
But at this moment, Damian felt not a trace of tenderness toward her.
He turned and walked out, with Claudine following behind.
After all, having just played the role of a loving couple in front of the media, Claudine thought, the act had to be car- ried through to the end.
She wore twelve–centimeter heels today, just to match Damian’s height.
Wearing high heels wasn’t difficult for Claudine, but Damian was walking so fast that it was hard for her to keep up.
Seeing the distance between them grow wider and wider, Claudine simply stopped trying to catch up.
After all, she couldn’t possibly sprain her ankle just to keep up the act with Damian.
That would truly be the height of foolishness.
Damian had walked a few steps ahead, but when he turned around, he saw Claudine strolling slowly behind him, a distance of four or five meters between them.
Anyone who didn’t know would think they were strangers.
This woman!
Her performance in front of the cameras had almost fooled even him.
Now, she wasn’t even pretending anymore!
With a cold expression, he stood in place, waiting for Claudine to catch up.
When Claudine finally reached his side, he spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear.
“Claudine, think about our agreement. We’re outside right now. Even if it’s just an act, you have to play your part!”
Claudine thought her performance in front of the cameras just now had been good enough.
She had no idea what Damian was angry about this time!
Nor did she care to guess.
“What else do you want me to do? Just say it and I’ll cooperate.”
Seeing Claudine’s businesslike attitude, Damian’s anger, which had just subsided a little, flared up again.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze icy cold.
“Weren’t you acting just fine during the interview just now!

Didn’t you say that from the moment you first saw me, you would marry no one else but me!
“So why are you keeping your distance from me now?”
For a moment, Claudine’s heart felt as if it had been pierced by countless fine silver needles.
It wasn’t so painful that she couldn’t bear it, but it left her chest festering, turning into a pool of blood.
So, the love she had hidden deep in her heart was, in Damian’s eyes, nothing but an act.
She had offered her true heart, only to have the man she loved treat it like worthless trash…
Suddenly, Claudine laughed.
She bent over with laughter, tears shimmering in her eyes, but no one saw.
Claudine took Damian’s arm.
“You should have just told me to cooperate. I thought that after the interview, I wouldn’t have to keep acting.”
She smiled with curved eyes, her gaze sparkling like a crescent moon in the sky.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
