Damien seemed relieved, saying, "When will you be discharged? Send me a message and I’ll pick you up."
With that, he left without even looking back.
A week later, Amelia packed her suitcase, preparing to leave the hospital. She called Damien three times. No answer.
At the same time, Victoria’s latest video was trending online, with over 100,000 likes.
In the video, Victoria proudly showed off the "boyfriend’s efforts" with limited-edition handbags, money transfers, pictures of her global travels and close-ups of Damien cooking, washing dishes and massaging her feet.
The comments were full of admiration.
[What a perfect boyfriend!]
[What a rich and devoted boyfriend! I’m so jealous!]
Victoria didn’t clarify their true relationship, allowing netizens to believe whatever they wanted.
Finally, Damien called back.
His voice was casual as he answered her call.
"I was busy and didn’t see the calls. What’s up?"
Sure enough, Damien had completely forgotten that he was supposed to pick her up. In the background, Victoria’s laughter was clear as day. Yet, Damien still lied calmly.
"I’m talking about business. If it’s not urgent, why don’t we talk at home later?"
