Chapter 21: Mixed Feelings
The driver glanced at Troy through the rearview mirror and then watched him as he gazed out of the window. “Isn’t she the ‘madam?” he questioned.
“Who is the man beside her?” he inquired further.
The man, wearing a cap and a mask, attracted attention as he entered the studio surrounded by a crowd.
It seems like that man has a good rapport with the boss.
In a hushed tone, the driver informed, “Sir, Sarah is not here.”
Troy merely responded with a thoughtful sound, “hmm.”
The driver was uncertain about what he wanted to say.
“Troy instructed them to drive the car to the studio’s entrance,” the driver relayed.
Did she notice them when he pulled up to the studio’s door?
Despite his reservations, the driver complied with Troy’s request and drove the car to the studio’s
entrance.
Liam raised his chin and inquired, “Is that your Troy?”
When Imogen followed his gaze, she saw a black Cayenne parked at the building’s entrance. The license plate number was the one Troy used.
Sarah stood by the car.
Troy intentionally got out of the car and had a conversation with Sarah, leaving her unaware of the details. Sarah responded with a joyful smile.
Subsequently, Troy turned and opened the car door for Sarah from the other side. As she got in, he moved to the back seat.
The driver departed.
He went out of his way to pick up Sarah.
Imogen’s heart was filled with profound sadness and bitterness.
Liam, however, seemed disinterested. “Recently, my agency has been working on a play. People Say that Sarah has already been hired to play the female role. The project is being funded by Star Entertainment Investment, a branch of Marshall Group of Companies. Troy has been providing generous financial support to his girlfriend. I heard that Xena originally had McKesson’s backing.” Imogen forced a smile, her hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, leaving crescent–shaped marks on her palms from her nails.
She felt choked up, realizing how much Troy had done for Sarah.
“Imogen, Liam, you’re both here,” Alex said, surprised to see them. “Are you also here for an event?”
“Yes, it’s been a while since we met. How about we treat you to something to eat? Would you like to join us?” Liam offered.
Alex grinned and replied, “Absolutely. I wouldn’t miss this chance for a free meal.”
“Let’s head to the car then,” Liam suggested.
At the restaurant, Alex perused the menu and raised an eyebrow at Liam, asking if he minded Alex ordering something.

“Order whatever you want; I’ll cover the bill,” Liam said with a smile.
Liam handed Imogen a menu and said, “Imogen, feel free to order too. Don’t worry about the expenses!
Imogen ordered a few of her favorite dishes from the menu.
Liam glanced at her choices and asked, “Is that all you’re getting? I remember you liked the durian dessert here. Why not order it?”
During their conversation, Liam added the durian pie to the order.
Alex looked at them and joked, “You have an exceptional memory. Do you also remember my favorite dishes?”
Liam chuckled and replied, “I’ll be sure to remember them next time.”
The food was served in due course.
At one point, Liam excused himself to visit the bathroom.
As soon as he left, Alex approached Imogen and whispered, “Are you two getting close?”
Imogen shook her head and asked, “What are you thinking? How could you assume that we’re in a close relationship?”
“Why? That’s just what my eyes tell me.”
“You’re mistaken.”
Alex dropped the subject when Imogen showed disinterest and sighed, “Imogen, you must have suitors at the company, right? Not a single one? How about I set you up with someone?”
“I’m already seeing someone.”
People at the company tried to get close to Imogen.
And even before that, there was a man who seemed to be following her everywhere she went.
Imogen had made up the story of having a boyfriend to avoid trouble.
Alex laughed, not buying her explanation. “You can lie to others, but not to me. Why don’t you show us your boyfriend if he exists?”
Imogen looked down and replied, “I’m not lying to you. If I get the chance, I’ll introduce you to
him.”
She had planned to tell her friends about her relationship with Troy and the possibility of getting married, but that plan was no longer viable.
Seeing Imogen’s behavior, Alex doubted if she actually had a boyfriend.
Why hasn’t he ever seen him, even if he is in a different place? Could he be a well–known person?
When Liam returned from the bathroom, Imogen also excused herself to use the restroom.
As she walked back, she heard someone calling her name in the hallway.
Turning around, she greeted the person with a small smile, “Mr. Cedric.”
“It’s really you, Imogen. Are you also dining here? Your older brother is in the private box. Would
you like to go say hi?” Cedric pointed towards the private box.
Imogen took a quick glance, recalling what had happened at the studio’s entrance.
She spotted Troy but not Sarah.
Before she could decide what to do, Cedric was already heading towards the private box.

Imogen had no choice but to follow, taking deep breaths to stay composed.
After all, Cedric was the one who invited her; there was no need to worry.
Why would she be afraid of not following Troy and his team?
As Cedric opened the door to the private box, the atmosphere inside was lively.
Imogen stood at the entrance, observing the scene. Troy was seated on the sofa’s center, with Sarah right next to him.
They seemed to be in their own world, detached from everyone else.
Troy turned his head slightly towards Sarah, a soft smile gracing his face as he listened to her whispering in his ear.
Sarah affectionately took his arm and planted a kiss on his cheek, displaying an intimate
closeness.
Troy appeared speechless.
And then, Cedric’s voice echoed from the door, “Troy, do you know who’s here?”
