It has been ten years.
Katrina has loved him for ten years and given him enough respect and trust. She thought it was just his personality that he was not close to her. He just buried his feelings deep in his heart, but did not express them so well.
It was obvious, after all, he also said that he loved her, and he would marry her… But it wasn't until she saw him with her own eyes that she realized that he was also crazy and passionate about feelings, but it wasn't directed at her.
Why did he do this to her? He clearly knows that she likes him very much in her heart. Why should he consume her love if he didn't love her? Why did he treat her like a fool?
There was also Liu Fei.
Katrina felt safe about the two's relationship not only because hers and Lin Zhan's was pure, but because she could tell Liu Fei didn't take Zhang Siyuan seriously.
The past writing in the diary was also telling.
Just like how Zhang Siyuan treated her, Liu Fei treated Zhang Siyuan as bad.
Liu Fei had always loved dancing, she studied abroad and she used this step to build her reputation before entering the entertainment circle.
While Liu Fei was just starting her career, Zhang Siyuan was on his fifth year's debut and she never thought that the young man who had been chasing her could be so successful. He became a popular idol and a superstar that everyone sought after. His influence was no less than the CEO of an entertainment company. His aura made Liu Fei, who had never taken him seriously, begin to accept his kindness.
Third female supporting role in a popular webnovel's TV adaptation as a debut role, signed an B grade contract a year after her debut, and given all the best resources equal to their top money maker's - Zhang Siyuan.
Katrina Shin rubbed her aching heart, started the car and left. Before that, she sent a text message to Zhang Siyuan. The text message only had a few words, "I wish you and Miss Liu Fei a happy and prosperous marriage for a hundred years. We are done."
She was not the kind of person who stalked. She had her pride and self-esteem. However, just because she didn't stalk doesn't mean she had to suppress her anger. She was a human being, not a kitten or puppy. The fact that he never cared about her feelings didn't mean she had no feelings. No matter how docile a kitten was, it would grow claws. And no matter how cute a puppy was, it would jump over a wall when anxious. Furthermore, she was still a human being, and she would also experience pain and anger.
He had played with her sincerity like this for ten years, how could she swallow this breath?!
The thought of sending the video to a big gossip account was really tempting. Zhang Siyuan never lack hater since his debut, she knew someone would torture him to death without mercy.
She knew very well how hard Zhang Siyuan had come along this journey and how difficult it was, but now, his hard-earned stardom might be completely ruined. And Miss Liu Fei, Zhang Siyuan's influence will definitely bring her to the forefront, and let her die hard fans see how filthy their goddess was. These two people played her like a fool and showed no mercy to her, and she didn't have the tolerance to leave them a way out.
"Ma.. Mamama.. Ma.. Mama…"
The crisp voice beside her brought her back to reality.
It was just two stars caught making out. Fans might be angry but they would rationalize it, agencies could have stated it was for filming and inviting investors to actually produce the project instead, or better yet, leading to a happy ending of the relationship's announcement.
Katrina on the other hand.. Fans would rip her apart, blaming her as a delusional staff or crazy stalker. She might lose her reputation and live before the cheating duo ended.
She got Lin Zhi to take care of now, she couldn't be willful. Katrina would find another way to get back at them.
***
Katrina held her sigh and glanced at the rear view mirror. Lin Zhi was sleeping in her securedly strapped child safety seat.
"I'm sorry, Teacher, Im not following."
"Miss Shin, it is in Lin Zhi's best interest for her to went for a speech therapy. She will attend pre-school next year, it might become harder for her later."
The car in the back was honking and Katrina immediately drove to their gated community. She resigned from her old job and moved from the apartment. The end of the month was always full of bill notifications, and it worried her.
Raising a child was expensive and to make sure Lin Zhi's college fund was secure, Katrina never touched any of the monthly trust fund Lin Zhan left the child.
"Let me help you, Miss."
Katrina didn't hire a life assistant but specifically hired a nanny for Lin Zhi. The elder woman picked Lin Zhi up while Katrina finished her bank transaction.
Katrina weakly turned off the light, but the screen flashed and she answered without looking at it; "Hello?"
The caller was Katrina's college classmate Shen Fe, they were in the same dorm with two other girls for the whole 4 years. After graduation, Shen Fe established a foothold in Noa in just three years. She had a net worth of tens of millions, modestly drove a Lexus to attend the class reunion, and when they met Katrina, both parties were quite surprised.
Katrina and Shen Fe were used to teased each other. They have been laughing at each other for many years. Now that Shen Fe was doing so well, Katrina also sincerely happy for her.
"Last night..." Shen Fe said, "I went to socialize with my aunt and a few celebrities and I found you a good opportunity."
There was the sound of water coming from Shen Fe's side. She had obviously gotten up, wearing a Bluetooth headset, and said to Katrina: "I called my aunt and she asked you to come to her office."
"What Aunt? You don't have.." Katrina almost dropped her phone, "You mean Chairwoman Wang? No!"
"What do you mean, no? That's Brother Zhan's daughter, that's my niece too! You must take this job and let her be treated by the best doctor!"
"But, Fe-"
"No, buts!"
Shen Fe hung up the phone. Katrina was quite grateful, but when she saw Shen Fe's message, her gaze dimmed.
As expected..
According to the address given by Shen Fe, she was confused all the way. She wasn't squeezed into the crowd in the subway, but couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she entered the lobby. This was the place with the highest concentration of entertainment companies in Noa, and meeting acquaintances was inevitable.
The receptionist gave her a big smile and handed her the visitor card. Katrina came here many times before, but as a visitor.
A visitor from a rival company, to be precise.
She found the 13th floor's button already pushed and calmed down her racing heart by studying her reflection on the elevator. Her hair was slick, the outfit was tidy, and her make up was decent.
"Get a grip, Katrina. Get a grip."
The muttering was like a prayer and it was caught by the only passenger beside her.
This man was 1.8 meters tall, he was wearing a sport hoodie and had the cover on, almost drowning his face. The moment he raised his head from the phone, people could see his resolute and handsome face.
Unfortunately, no one was here for the grace, even Katrina only focused on the interview ahead. She knew for sure the interviewer would be the Chairwoman herself, she was here with Shen Fe's recommendation after all.
Wang Media has always been stricter on those using connections.
Right in the corner was the office door, a woman opened the door; "Katrina Shin?"
"Yes, maam."
They went in and sat in the office, breathing a long sigh of relief.
"I heard good things about you," The woman was wearing a suit and short skirt. Although she was over forty, she was well-maintained. She introduced herself, "I am Shen Fe's aunt. You can just call me Aunt Wang."
The marriage didn't fall through, she would be dumb to actually called Chairwoman Wang as aunt.
Seeing that she was pouring water for her personally, Katrina stood up hurriedly: "I'll do it..."
"Introduce yourself." Another man said beside her.
"My name is Katrina Shin." Katrina took the water, sat down, and said seriously, "I'm a Business Management Post Graduate and I'm 29. I used to be an artist assistant in Onyx for 4 years."
Wang Lin flipped through Katrina's personal information, handed it to her assistant, and the two of them watched it once.
Katrina said again: "I have driver license for cars and motorcycle, fluent in 5 foreign languages, and-"
"Do you have a favorite actor?" Wang Lin asked.
The man rolled his eyes, "Let me guess, it's Zhang Siyuan or Arthur Shang, isn't it?"
