Chapter 600 Refused By Her
The director had made a lot of effort to create such an opportunity for them, so Evelyn could not afford to miss it.
As a result, she cleared her throat and then summoned up the courage to call out, "Anthony."
When Anthony heard the noise, he subconsciously made a sound of agreement and took the clothes off his face.
When he saw it was Evelyn, his face fell again. He gave a cold snort and turned over, ignoring her with his back facing her.
For a moment, Evelyn felt really awkward.
The room fell into silence. She thought for a while and felt like it wouldn't do them any good if they continued not to be on speaking terms.
Since she was already here, it was better to make it clear once and for all.
At the thought of this, Evelyn was no longer in a hurry. She found a chair at the side and sat down. She said, "Anthony, I know that you hate me now, but we are still working on the same film now. Besides, I haven't done anything to hurt you. You don't have to be so cold to me, do you?"
"Is it because I didn't accept your confession that you ignored me? Are you such a petty person?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Anthony suddenly turned over.
He sat up from the chair and looked at Evelyn with a gloomy face.
Evelyn raised her eyebrows.
To show that she was not afraid of him.
Anthony was enraged, but there was nothing he could do about it.
In the end, he could only say in a fit of anger, "Yes, I am not petty. But you have to give me a reason for turning me down! Don't think that I'll buy that excuse you gave last time. I don't believe it."
Last time, to put an end to things, Evelyn told him that she had no feelings for him so that he could move on from her.
Therefore, in the past few days, Anthony had been angry with her because of the sense of defeat in his heart. Besides, her rejection had hurt his ego and pride.
But in fact, he was still very confident in his heart.
He felt that even if Evelyn didn't like him, she couldn't have hated him.
No matter how much he liked her, he had never lost his sense of propriety when he was with her, nor did he do anything that made the other party feel repulsed.
However, Evelyn had been so hasty in turning him down. She didn't even give him a proper reason.
Instead, she made up this kind of excuse just so he could give her up.
Anthony was angry with Evelyn because of that.
Upon hearing this, Evelyn was stunned for a moment and then smiled.
She was a little surprised. She did not expect that this was what was on Anthony's mind.
After thinking about it, she asked, "Then why do you think that I don't accept you?"
Anthony frowned.
After a while, he pursed his in dismay and said, "How can I know what you are thinking?"
Evelyn chuckled and sighed.
"I didn't lie to you, Anthony. You are a nice person. But in my heart, I regard you as a friend. I don't want to lose a friend because of this. Do you understand what I mean?"
Anthony looked at her seriously to make sure that she was not telling lies. Only then did he say, "Then do you mean that I still stand a chance?"
Evelyn was speechless.
She held her throbbing head.
She shook her head and explained seriously again. "Since I said we are friends, of course, we don't stand a chance anymore. I can't develop a relationship with a friend, can I?"
"Why not?"
Anthony asked in a hurry. He regretted it as soon as he finished his words.
He had been trying to act cold for the past few days. At this moment, he finally revealed how eager he truly was.
This made him really annoyed.
However, since Anthony had already said that, it was too late for regrets.
He thought about it and asked, "Do you have someone you like?"
Evelyn was stunned.
Anthony looked at her seriously with a stern attitude.
"If you have someone you like, I can understand what you did. But if you don't, why don't you give me a chance? Perhaps, we are very suitable for each other? Didn't you say that I'm a nice person? That proves that no matter whether you like me or not now, at least you approve of me, don't you?"
Evelyn was stunned and was at a loss of words.
She didn't expect Anthony to say something like that.
It didn't sound right at first instance, but it sounded reasonable after she thought about it carefully.
She was in a bit of a dilemma. But after a while, she gave a self-deprecating smile.
"Anthony, we're not suitable for each other."
Anthony frowned.
It was obvious that he was very unhappy.
Evelyn sighed helplessly and had to tell the truth.
"To tell you the truth, I have a boyfriend."
When she said this, she was actually struggling inside.
Although in Marty's heart, they had already been a couple for a long time, she promised him that they would start over.
In her heart, she still had second thoughts about their relationship.
Therefore, she wouldn't want to tell anyone about it unless it was necessary.
However, seeing how persistent Anthony was, Evelyn did not want him to fall deeper, so she could only say that.
When Anthony heard these words, he gave a violent shudder.
He looked at her with almost incredulity.
"What did you say? When did that happen? Why didn't I know?"
Evelyn didn't say anything and just looked at him quietly.
Anthony suddenly came to his senses.
Yeah, right... Who was he to her?
He was a nobody to her. Why did she have to let him know that she was seeing somebody now?
In this circle, it was not a rare thing for the artists to be secretly married or secretly seeing each other. Their closest assistant and manager might not even know about it.
Not to mention Anthony was just her colleague or friend.
Anthony could not help but laugh bitterly.
In fact, when Evelyn refused him, he had thought of this possibility before.
But now that he had heard it with his own ears, he still couldn't quite believe it.
Anthony looked at her and asked, "Who is he?"
Evelyn pursed her lips and did not answer the question. Instead, she changed the subject and said, "Anthony, you will definitely find a girl who is better than me and more suitable for you. We will find our own happiness eventually, instead of wasting our energy on unnecessary people."
Anthony looked at her as she spoke calmly. He felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart.
However, she already had someone she liked!
No matter how sad, reluctant, and unwilling he was, he should not disturb her anymore.
"I shouldn't let my feelings for her burdened her, shouldn't I?" Anthony thought.
Anthony took a deep breath, forced a smile, and nodded.
"Okay, I see."
After a pause, unresolved, he asked again.
"Does he treat you well?"
Evelyn was stunned.
Her lips slowly curved into a smile.
"Yeah. He is the person who treats me the best in this world."
Anthony watched as a happy smile crept across Evelyn's face when she said that. He felt a sour and painful feeling welled up in his chest.
