TimeNovelChapter 1290:
“Let go!”
Eric yanked his arm free, his gaze cold, as if she were something toxic. He stepped back, reeling. He had never
suspected Ayla harbored feelings for him.
It was almost laughable. “Keep your feelings to yourself. | don’t want them.”
He didn’t want her love?
Ayla’s tears flowed harder, her voice sharp with bitterness. “So it’s only ever Hadley for you? Is she really that
perfect?”
“Hmm?”
Eric’s brow arched, a mocking smile curling his lips. “I don’t owe you an explanation, but since you're asking—
no, you don’t even cclose to her, and you never will.”
Ayla stiffened, her face draining of color as hatred took root in her heart.
Eric’s patience snapped. “Have you decided what you want? If not, leave. My team will handle it later.”
“I've made my choice,” Ayla said through gritted teeth, her voice low, fists clenched. “I want fame. | want to be a
star.”
Eric's expression softened slightly, relieved by the simplicity of her demand. “Fine. Consider it done.”
He gestured toward the door. “You can go now.”

Ayla hesitated, taking a few steps before Eric's voice stopped her.
“One more thing.”
She turned eagerly. “Mr. Scott?”
His gaze was steely, his words deliberate. “I'll make you famous, as promised. But last night? Don’t breathe a
word to anyone. If Hadley hears even a hint of it...”
His voice dropped, laced with menace. “I can lift you to the top—or make sure you disappear from this industry
entirely.”
Ayla’s face darkened, her hopes crumbling.
She had thought he might care, might offer skindness. She had been foolish.

This man was utterly ruthless, his warmth reserved solely for Hadley.
“I understand,” she choked out, tears streaming as she fled.
Alone, Eric rubbed his forehead in frustration, his jaw tight with self-loathing.
“Idiot,” he muttered.
Turning on the shower, he let the icy water shock his senses, hoping to clear his mind.
