He Told Me to Get Out—So I Handed Him the Papers

I didn't repeat myself. Instead, I said, "My show is coming out soon. Remember to help me promote it."

She was surprised, "So soon?"

"Yeah."

This was the first show I had produced as the head producer. It held significant meaning for me.

Jason and I were married out of convenience.

But in reality, those words didn't really apply.

If you think about it, it was because of my parents' slight acquaintance with his that kept me glued to his side, from childhood to adulthood, unable to shake me off.

My family and the Crowe family, we're not on the same level anymore. But when we got married, for the sake of appearances and the Crowe family's reputation, the entertainment news reported it as a union of two families, a perfect match, talents and beauty, complementing each other wonderfully.

For a moment, it was considered a lovely story.

So everyone forgot that Jason never actually had feelings for me.

His willingness to marry me was merely because I had planned it all along.

At a Crowe family banquet, I stayed with him in his room all night.

By the time everyone found out, everything that should've happened had already happened.

Before that, Jason had always seen me as a sister.

He had never expected me to do something like that.

So later, on our wedding day, when the officiant asked ceremoniously.

"Mr.Crowe, do you take Grace Bishop to be your wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, and to be faithful to her?"

He did not answer, but raised his brow, and said the one word I will never forget.

"Hah."

At our wedding, he stood aside and watched the farce that belonged to me.

The officiant was taken aback and asked me the same question.

I blushed uneasily, quickly recovered and said, "I do."

From that day on, I became a joke in that circle.

But I brought this upon myself, who could I blame?

Now, I can only hope that it's never too late to fix things.

Recently, a question has been circulating wildly online.

It's from Tina's novel.

How are things between you and the person you secretly loved?

Some people shared photos of their partners at 3 AM and captioned it.

We've been married for five years.

Others said they lost contact long ago, met once a few years ago, and the charming youth in their memory now had a beer belly.

A lot of people laughed.

Of course, one answer got the most attention, topped the list.

Many liked it.

The person said, she gave me a divorce agreement, wanting to end our marriage.

When I saw that, I couldn't help but laugh.

How ironic that such a coincidence would happen in this vast world.

This question gained immense popularity. In the end, it was all promoting that novel.

The Years I Secretly Loved You soared to the top of the spotlight.

It's clear how much effort Jason put into it.

And as for the show I'm writing, many people had been looking forward to it, but suddenly, it's become unnoticed.

The lead actress who knew the inside story called me.

Asked, "Grace, aren't you Mr. Crowe's wife? Why isn't he helping you but helping someone else instead?"

My heart skipped a beat, unsure how to respond.

I could only tell her, "It's okay, it hasn't premiered yet."

But after hanging up, I couldn't help but sigh.

I know that if Jason makes a move, he never fails.

If he wants to promote Tina, she will undoubtedly rise to the top and shine brightly.

The Years I Secretly Loved You hit the trending topics on its release day.

Netizens were deeply moved, sympathizing with the female lead's silent dedication.

Clips of interactions between the male and female leads were edited with music, and views skyrocketed.

The adaptation's fidelity to the original showed how much thought was put into it.

Soon, word spread that the CEO of Crowe Group personally spearheaded the adaptation.

Despite his busy schedule, he chose to do something he had never done before.

But even in a new field, he accomplished it perfectly.

No wonder. No wonder that book in his study looked like it had been read thousands of times.

I could imagine.

Every day after work, he came home exhausted, sat at his desk, flipped open that book, his fingers carefully tracing each word, reminiscing the past he had overlooked through those sentences.

Then, after much deliberation, he would put pen to paper, thinking about how to bring those moments to the screen.

Sigh. What could I do?

Not long after, Jason registered and verified an Instagram account.

He shared the show's promotions himself, and at the end also tagged Tina Hollis.

With a concise message.

"Expect a hit."

This confirmed the rumors.

Jason and Tina, one a decisive CEO, the other a rising new writer.

How could people not envy them?
