After Participating in the Love Variety Show, I Became Popular!
Chapter 3
"Am I the only one who thinks that him being on the dating show means he's single?"
"Stop fantasizing. I heard Caleb and Naomi have been friends for years. He joined the show for her."
"Handsome guy and beautiful girl. Former Best Actress and current top star. I'm shipping this CP!"
Caleb glanced at me and then looked away as if I were a stranger. Naomi waved at him and said, "Caleb, over here."
I turned my head guiltily. I had wronged Caleb back then.
His acting career got better and better, and I felt more and more pressured. I broke up with him.
On the day we broke up, he pressed his lips together and looked at me. He said, "Isla, I can make our relationship public. I can get a marriage certificate right away."
I shook my head and said, "I have someone I like."
He didn't say anything else. When I packed my bags and left, he was still standing there.
Later, I watched him rise to become a top star.
Caleb sat next to Naomi, with just enough space for one person between us.
Before I could think more, the sixth person walked in.
I took one look and knew this was bad. This was not just a dating show. It was my social death. This show should be renamed "Me and My Exes on a Dating Show" or "My Exes and I Reunite on a Dating Show."
Jayden looked at me as soon as he came in. He frowned slightly and quickly looked away.
After introducing himself, he naturally walked over and sat between Caleb and me. He turned to me and said, "Isla, long time no see."
Before I could answer, Caleb spoke up, "Jayden, you know Isla?"
Jayden glanced at Caleb and said, "We've met a few times."
Jayden and I had a doomed relationship. I met him right after breaking up with Caleb. The first time I saw Jayden, he was being bullied on set. He was very different then, clean and resilient. He thanked me and we became close.
I glanced at these people and felt a bit emotional. "What kind of lucky am I?" I could write a book called "How to Boost Your Ex's Success"!
Jayden looked indifferent, but I felt uneasy. Our breakup had not been pleasant.
When his agent, Maverick, found me, he tactfully asked me to break up with him.
Maverick was a veteran agent in the industry. That day, he chatted with me for a long time before getting to the point. He said, "Isla, I know you treat Jayden well.
"He is the most talented and hardest-working artist I have.
"You know how difficult his journey has been."
I understood what Maverick meant. He finally offered me compensation.
On the day I broke up with Jayden, he looked at me as if trying to see through me. He said, "Did someone from the company talk to you?
"Don't worry. I'll handle it."
He held my hand to reassure me.
He said, "Isla, my dream used to be to become a good actor and gain everyone's recognition.
"But if the price is you, I don't want it.
"Let's go home. I'll talk to Maverick tomorrow."
I coldly shook off Jayden's hand and said, "Let's break up.
"Jayden, why do you think you can climb to the top and I'll just stand by indifferently?"
