Stella pulled her phone further away from her ear. She waited for Felicity to stop screaming and said, “He took the initiative to ask you out?”
“Kinda,” Felicity responded evasively.
He did not really ask Felicity out.
Doctor Steven’s full name was Corbin Steven. He was 28 years old and worked as a doctor in the breast surgery department.
Ever since Felicity added Corbin on WhatsApp, she kept initiating conversations with him. For example, she would ask him about his favorite food, books he was interested in, movie genres he liked, and things like that. In other words, she was trying to probe him about his preferences.
Corbin would reply to her when free, but he did not say much each time.
Felicity wanted to ask him out to watch a movie, but Corbin said he might not make it as he was attending a friend’s birthday party.
As soon as Felicity began to understand how it feels to like someone, she became much more unashamed than Stella. According to her own words, the chances of finding someone she liked in this vast world was too low. Now that she had met him, she would even tie herself to him by the belt if she had to.
Hence, she kept asking about which friend, and the party’s location. That was how she found out that the birthday boy was Vermont Snyder, the owner of Neon Nebula.
‘So it’s an acquaintance… Stella’s acquaintance.‘
“What a coincidence. Vermont is my friend. I was also planning to attend his birthday party.” Without batting an eyelid, Felicity lied.
Corbin was surprised. “Didn’t you want to go to the movies?”
Felicity calmly replied, “Vermont kept inviting me to go, but I dislike bustling situations. So I was planning to drop him a gift and leave. But if you’re going, I could stay longer.”
Corbin chuckled and said gently, “See you tonight then.”
Stella was in disbelief. “You call this ‘asking you out“?”
“Ah, just take it that way. I don’t care. You must bring me along to Vermont’s birthday party tonight!”
Felicity worked at Royal Deluxe Entertainment, and Neon Nebula was their competitor. So naturally, Felicity was not close to Vermont. They had only met a few times without even greeting each other.
Their most recent encounter was because of Vermont’s affair with one of the models under Royal Deluxe Entertainment. The model thought she had Vermont to rely on, so she wanted to terminate her contract with the company.
The owner of Royal Deluxe Entertainment had previously invested a lot of money in the model’s training and was just starting to break even the cost when she asked for a termination. Of course, he was enraged and asked for a large penalty for breaching her contract.
The model spewed a lot of tough talks and insinuated that Vermont would pay for her. But before she could terminate the contract, Vermont broke up with her. Then, she caused a scene at his company. Vermont phoned Royal Deluxe Entertainment’s owner and told him to take care of the situation or else Vermont would call the cops. The owner was shocked and furious. At last, he sent some employees to bring the model back.
Felicity was one of the employees sent to bring her back. The model was crying while professing her love for Vermont, but he did not even look in her direction. Instead, he just started his car and left.
The model lost her paymaster and fell out with the company too. Ultimately, she was shelved and still needed to pay a huge penalty. To say that she was devastated would be an understatement.
It was not without reason that the owner cursed Vermont that much. It was not that big of an issue that he liked to toy with people’s feelings since both parties were consenting adults. The problem was that he never meddled with the artists under his own company but messed around with artists from other companies.
Vermont was young, rich, and handsome. Those naive new artists would take the bait if he were willing to spend some money on them.
Felicity had only met Vermont a few times, but he brought different girls with him every single time. So naturally, she did not have a good impression of him.
