Chapter 975 Could This Be Thessaly's Boyfriend
The man held her tight, not letting go for a second.
They both hit the ground hard.
Then came a loud crash.
Thessaly heard the man's painful groan right next to her ear.
The whole machine had fallen on the guy who was shielding her!
She was completely unharmed, thanks to him!
She was in shock.
But she didn't have much time to process it because people were already rushing over.
"Mr. Walker!"
"Quick, get that camera off him!"
"Help him! What are you standing around for?"
"If something happens to Mr. Walker..."
Voices erupted all around her.
But all Thessaly could focus on was Brandon's breathing.
He must be in so much pain... That heavy machine just crashed onto him.
He saved her... Why did he save her?
Was Brandon acting on instinct, genuinely caring for her? Or was he so deep into his role that all he could think about was protecting her?
At that moment, Thessaly's heart was a whirlwind of emotions.
She kept reminding herself that Brandon was the mastermind, the one who put her in danger. She hated him, needed to gather evidence of his crimes, wanted revenge, and to expose his true nature to the world!
She couldn't afford to have any feelings for Brandon!
His kindness was all an act!
Yet... even though Thessaly knew everything, her heart was still sinking.
Maybe that's just how it is, always getting caught up in emotions, always led by feelings, even when you know the truth, you still fall into the trap of love!
But there was no future for her and Brandon, absolutely not!
Even if she might fall for him, and he might have feelings for her!
People crowded around, moving the machine off and helping Brandon up.
Paul was the most shocked and concerned: "Mr. Walker! Are you okay? Should we call an ambulance? Are you hurt anywhere?"
With the help of a few people, Brandon slowly got to his feet.
His face showed clear pain, his lips tightly pressed together; that hit must have hurt a lot!
"No need for an ambulance, I'm fine, it's not a big deal," Brandon replied, immediately looking at Thessaly. "Are you okay?"
Before Thessaly could answer, he grabbed her wrist, pulling her in front of him, looking her over from head to toe.
"I'm fine," Thessaly shook her head. "Not hurt, not at all."
Brandon finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Otherwise... I would've taken that hit for nothing."
Thessaly murmured, "You protected me so well, how could I be hurt?"
She stood there, unharmed, but Brandon... his back must be bruised.
Though it wasn't a severe injury, it would probably take about a month to heal.
The situation was so urgent, happening so suddenly, that no one was prepared or expected it.
Even the people right next to Thessaly didn't have time to save her.
But Brandon, sitting in the audience... he was the first to rush up, protecting her just in time!
Before, everyone knew about the feelings between Brandon and Thessaly, but who knew if they would end up together?
Maybe Brandon was just having a fling, or maybe it was just a casual thing, since they hadn't officially defined their relationship.
Who knows, maybe one day Brandon would lose interest in Thessaly and move on to someone else.
But after this... everyone saw how much Brandon cared for Thessaly!
Brandon risking his own safety to save her was far from ordinary feelings.
In the audience, Kelvin and Penelope exchanged a glance.
They had seen the whole thing unfold.
When the machine fell, Penelope jumped up in shock, but she was too far away to help, just standing there anxiously.
Besides, Kelvin held her back, not letting her go forward—it was dangerous!
And the people next to Thessaly were only worried about themselves, dodging frantically to avoid the machine.
It was Brandon who sprang into action, leaping onto the stage with lightning speed, rushing to Thessaly, shielding her just in time before the machine fell.
"Brandon, he..." Penelope muttered to herself, "Is he really in love?"
Only when you see someone you love in danger do you react so quickly.
Penelope understood.
Because once, when she was in danger, Kelvin saved her the same way!
He would rather get hurt himself than let her get a scratch!
Kelvin looked at the stage calmly, saying nothing.
How to describe Brandon's move?
A calculated risk?
In front of everyone, with all eyes on him, Brandon played the hero, saving the damsel in distress.
Everyone saw it clearly.
This way... Brandon could naturally advance his relationship with Thessaly!
As long as Thessaly accepted his confession, their relationship would be official!
Kelvin smirked slightly. He knew Brandon's invite wasn't just for fun!
Brandon's tactics and strategies were being slowly figured out by Kelven.
The reporters were stunned for a few seconds when it happened, then quickly snapped photos.
This was gossip gold! A hero saved the damsel on set. Would Thessaly have a new romance?
This news was definitely more captivating than the opening ceremony, sure to get more clicks!
However, with the live broadcast, everything that just happened was captured completely.
The number of viewers and comments in the live stream skyrocketed.
[Who is this guy! His leap onto the stage was so smooth and cool!]
[Even in a suit, he can still save someone!]
[This actually happened. Are we sure this isn't a movie scene?]
[He was so far away, but still managed to save her. What were the people next to her doing? Just standing there?]
[Could this be Thessaly's boyfriend, attending her new movie's opening?]
[Does she have a romance? Accidentally revealed?]
After the chaos, Brandon, supported by the staff, left the stage for the crew's lounge.
Thessaly followed him.
But before leaving, she glanced back at Kelvin and Penelope.
"Let's go," Kelvin said calmly. "We should check on him... that hit better not have seriously injured Brandon."
A calculated risk isn't something just anyone can pull off.
If not done right... it could be deadly.
Who would've thought Brandon would go so far as to risk himself like this?
What if the camera had shifted a bit and hit the back of his head instead of his back?
He could've lost his life!
