Chapter 845

It was her way of keeping her distance.

As a mature adult, he could catch the hint in her address.

Caspian lowered his eyes and felt a wave of disappointment .

Trying his best not to show his despair, he shot her a final glance before turning to leave.

At his age, it went without saying that he had been in a number of relationships.

However, perhaps because it had been a long while since his last relationship, this crush somehow ran
deeper.

Although it wasn‘t intense, it was long and lingering.

It constantly lurked at the back of his mind, sometimes rearing its head at the most unexpected of times,
and was impossible to get rid of.

He exhaled loudly and decided that it was time to flee from Stella.

At the promotional event.

Caspian kept a physical distance as he had promised himself.

His manager was originally worried that he might do something out of whack upon seeing Stella, but he
was surprised and, at the same time, comforted that he behaved so sensibly and obediently.

He stood downstage but didn‘t forget to remind himself what he should and shouldn‘t say.

Everything went pretty smoothly at the beginning.



The reporters were asking proper questions that were relevant to the movie itself, mostly revolving
around the filmmakers.

Since Guinevere was absent, Caspian, the male lead, naturally became the target of many questions.

As supporting actresses who, despite their minor roles, were relatively outstanding, all Stella and
Angelina had to do was smile and stand prettily on stage.

However, the reporters were quick to realize that Caspian took on all questions, and they spoke freely,
with the exception of issues that involved Stella.

The reporters were keen as a razor as they sniffed out the possibility of gossip.

“I have a question: Does the junior warrior that Ms. Ella portrays have any form of relationship with Mr.
Yates‘ character?”

The question appeared to be about the movie but was, in fact, an attempt to dig for more information
about the two of them.

People in the industry were able to tell what the intention behind the question was: Creating trouble
where there was none and magnifying every single detail just to headline an exposé.

Regardless of whether there was anything between Caspian and Stella, the question immediately made
the atmosphere tense and awkward.

Furthermore, Stella was already a hot topic of the season. If it weren’t for their respect for Bradley, they
would have bombarded her with questions from the start.

It had been magnanimous of them to wait till this point in time.

Caspian had always found it easy to deal with questions that were targeted and meant to be a trap.



After all, having been in the industry for years, he knew full well how to maneuver his way around such
tricky questions.

This time, however, he was stunned for a good while.

His manager furrowed his brows and tried to signal him with his eyes.

Eventually, it was Stella who reacted first and said smilingly to the reporters, “The answer to this question
could involve spoilers. If you really want to know, go to the cinemas and catch the movie for the answer.”

It was an excellently nuanced reply.

Not only did she answer the question and dispel the awkwardness, but she managed to push for more
viewership .

That was when Caspian finally snapped back to attention and realized that he had been in a daze. A
wave of frustration swept over him.

Bradley rubbed in between his brows and said to the reporters,“ If there are no further questions, we
have to move on to our next program in our schedule...”

Despite their meticulous efforts, it wasn‘t enough to stop those reporters from writing trash.

Since Stella was already the talk of the town, a mere mention of her name was enough to bring hordes of
unwanted attention.

“How did the woman who defeated Guinevere Cohen become the woman of every single man‘s dream?
Ella Steele: The Goddess in the Hearts of All Men.”

Such exaggerated headlines bombarded magazine shelves and online forums.



The media had ruthlessly compared Stella and Guinevere–even fashion bloggers began to use such
headlines to draw attention and viewership to their sites.

Some even began analyzing Stella‘s fashion sense, providing suggestions on how one could become the
goddess in the heart of every man, a blatant hint that she must‘ve gone on to seduce all the male actors
in the crew.
