After the Breakup, The Movie Star Pursued Me Madly

I held my head high and walked past him, plastering a smile on my face and greeting the staff warmly. I'd show him I could shine without him.

The interview was split into three parts. First up, we'd each discuss our understanding of our characters. Then, we'd talk about the relationship between the general and the princess. Finally, there was a dreaded "Gia and Ryan" compatibility test.

"Hey everyone, Gia here, aka the princess, Fallon Sterling."

"Hello, everyone. I'm Ryan," Ryan paused and gave me a subtle glance, "also known as Fallon's general brother, Thomas Anderson."

Humph, what a jerk. I couldn't help but snort.

Sensing the tension, the host quickly moved on with the question, "Gia, how would you describe Fallon in the series?"

"Smart, clever, and brave, but a bit too focused on love," I said. "Thomas ditched her right before their wedding for revenge, and she actually took him back in the end. If it were me, I'd never forgive someone who betrayed me like that. There are so many men in the world. Why get hung up on one?"

"What about you, Mr. Davenport?"

Ryan glanced at me. "Thomas is loyal and brave, a true hero, but he's a bit clueless when it comes to relationships. I wouldn't be anyone's stand in, not even for a second."

What did Ryan mean? There was no such thing as a "stand in" in the story.

"Is he implying I see him as some kind of replacement? When have I ever treated him that way?" I wondered.

The tension was thick enough to cut with a knife, and we were on the verge of another blowout.

Thankfully, the host moved us on to the next segment - a compatibility test. The host asked us questions about each other, and we answered with the √ and × signs we'd been given.

The first question was - Gia has been in the industry for 3 years.

I chose ×.

He chose √.

I knew Ryan did it on purpose. He knew every tiny detail about my childhood, down to the playground fights I had in elementary school, but he pretended not to know how long I'd been working.

He didn't get a single question right out of ten. Awesome!

The host asked, "Are you guys looking forward to working together again?"

We both raised our × signs, meaning "hell no".

The host looked awkward and paused the interview, whispering, "Mr. Davenport, Ms. Harris, this is an interview. It's going to be aired."

Duh, I knew it was an interview. And I knew Bobby was going to give me an earful when he found out.

But in this situation, I couldn't give up.

"Breakup? Whatever. I'm gorgeous, I'm loaded, and I've got men lining up for me from here to the moon. Who needs Ryan?" I mumbled to myself.

Sure enough, as soon as the interview was released, it immediately trended, saying Ryan and I couldn't stand with each other.

No kidding, we couldn't stand each other. If it weren't for work, I wouldn't want to see him again in a million years.

Twitter was on fire, with everyone calling the whole thing a buzzkill.

But then, the conversation took a turn. A popular relationship blogger chimed in. "Look at how they're acting. Doesn't it seem like they just broke up?"

"Girls, maybe there was something going on between them. They probably hooked up during filming but broke up later due to some misunderstanding."

And usually, they'd talk about the script in these interviews, but their answers were full of flaws, clearly intentional.

"Yeah, yeah, getting all the answers right is tough, but getting all ten wrong? They must have done it out of spite."

Damn it, that was too accurate!

I went viral seven times in one week.
