Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

At the entrance of the concert hall.

Thomas discreetly fell back a few steps, lowering his voice. “Bro, this is my first official date with Theresa, please don’t mess it up for me.”

Ben also spoke quietly, “Relax, the tickets I bought aren’t next to you. You two can still have your own

world.”

Thomas finally breathed a sigh of relief, giving Ben a thumbs–up. “Noble.”

Minutes later.

The concert began..

Thomas felt utterly defeated.

Ben hadn’t bought tickets next to them but right behind them!

However, the tickets that Ben had bought were right behind them

Just as Thomas was about to do something, he felt two pairs of eyes gossiping from behind.

On the stage.

The music flowed melodiously.

Both Thomas and Theresa were focused on the performance.

But their faces were getting redder and redder.

The lights were dim.

Finally, Thomas couldn’t resist and stealthily reached out his hand.

Emerycy

He silently reached out and held the hand of Theresa.

Theresa slightly moved her hand but didn’t pull away.

A faint smile appeared on Thomas’s lips.

O

He was so engrossed that he only came back to reality when Theresa withdrew her hand at the end of

the concert.

Standing up, Thomas saw Ben and Susan smiling at him.

Thomas felt his scalp go numb.

“I sent you some photos, check them out.” Ben patted his shoulder.

Thomas opened his phone.

Then he was speechless.

How bored were this couple? Instead of enjoying the concert, they had taken photos of them.

They had a lot of photos.

Looking at the photos of him and Theresa holding hands tightly, a softness flickered in Thomas’s eyes.

Since he had held her hands, he did not intend to let go of them.

Susan, still smiling, said, “We’ve enjoyed the concert, so Ben and I will head off now. You two continue

your date.”

Theresa wanted to add more, but this time, Ben and Susan didn’t want to intrude and quickly left.

Left alone with Thomas, Theresa suddenly felt a wave of nervousness.

“Shall we go for a walk?” Thomas said.

“Sure,” Theresa replied softly.

Thomas carefully took her hand.

Theresa blushed, but didn’t pull away.

Outside, there was a chill in the air, with a few small snowflakes drifting down.

They strolled aimlessly. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

None of them spoke, but Thomas felt unprecedentedly peaceful in his heart.

Thomas cleared his throat, trying to start a conversation. “Mr. Witt said our movie is starting its first promotional campaign.”

“Yeah,” Theresa responded lightly.

Their movie was still in post–production. Although the release was some time away, it had received poor reviews due to Henri’s previous slander. To counter this, the team planned to release some teasers to improve public perception before the official release.

“I’ve created a tweet account and we can share posts together,” Thomas said.

“Yeah,” Theresa continued to respond softly.

Thomas continued to chat casually. Theresa was no longer as tough as before, but just responded gently for a moment.

Thomas looked at her beautiful profile, feeling a bit unaccustomed. “Theresa? Are you sick? You seem a

bit off.”

Theresa snapped at him in annoyance. “Are you cursing me?”

Relieved, Thomas replied, “Good, good, you’re not sick then.”

Theresa was speechless.

Theresa, expressionless, pinched Thomas.

L

Thomas winced in pain, but his smile was bright.

– Due to Thomas’s shameless behavior, Theresa quickly showed her flerce side, which Thomas

surprisingly seemed to enjoy.

Soon, they began an uninhibited and open relationship.

That day.

Love in Bitter Winter was about to release its first promotional clip.

Before the release, Mr. Witt tagged everyone in the crew’s group, asking them to help share it.

As the lead actors, Thomas and Theresa naturally had to participate.

Upon receiving the tag, Theresa quickly logged onto Twitter.

She opened the official page of Love in Bitter Winter.

The first advertisement had been released.

This was in response to Henri’s previous claims that Rose’s poor acting affected his performance.

It just so happened that this advertisement was a show of Theresa acting.

On the advertisement.

It was a three–minute–long inner play by Theresa.

For three whole minutes, Theresa unfolded her performance layer by layer, with emotions escalating until a climactic burst, a veritable masterclass in acting.

Theresa shared the advertisement on her Rose’s account, modestly captioning. [New to acting, still learning. I appreciate everyone’s guidance.]

Theresa was still very modest.

When Susan reposted the advertisement, she had ho scruples.

She tagged Theresa, brimming with pride. [This is my bosom female friend. Who said her acting was cringe–worthy?]

Susan’s post was rather bold.

But previously, Henri had so harshly criticized Theresa that expectations for her were low.

But now, Theresa handed over such a perfect answer sheet.

At that moment, the crowd’s eyes started to shine.

Even though Susan was blatantly boasting, under her tweet post, there were no objections, only

praises.

Susan was overjoyed with the response.

However, Henri was far from happy.

His previous disparagement of Theresa’s skills backfired with the release of this advertisement, putting

Henri in the hot seat.

People started questioning Henri on social media.

[With acting like that, how can you call it cringe–worthy?]

[I’m starting to think there was more to the story about the male lead being changed.]

[I agree. We only heard Henri’s side before, but with this clip, the crew seems to have said it all.]

[It’s just a three–minute clip. How can you say Rose is a good actress based on this? Who knows if she’s cringe–worthy in other scenes.]

[Our Henri would never lie. If Rose isn’t genuinely bad at acting, then she must have intentionally.

sabotaged our Henri.]

Under Henri’s tweet post, fans and bystanders argued fiercely.

After watching the three–minute advertisement, Henri was seething.

Back when he acted alongside Rose, he found her somewhat talented, but not breathtakingly so.

What changed in these few months that transformed Rose so much?

Originally, even if Rose’s performance wasn’t terrible, he could’ve exploited any minor flaw to drag her

down.

But now, Rose’s acting was nothing short of stunning.

Even If he wanted to be picky, he couldn’t do it.

Even if he wanted to nitpick, it wouldn’t be Rose who’d be ridiculed, but him!

“Mrs. Landor is openly supporting Rose.” his agent noted, looking at Henri. “Their relationship is much closer than you think. Are you sure you want to continue this feud?”

Henri scoffed. “With their vast differences in status and position, what true friendship can there be? Mrs. Landor’s support for Rose is just because of her investment in the project.”

The agent frowned. “I suggest you drop this matter. Don’t respond on Twitter, just let it cool off. Rose is just a newcomer, the issue will die down soon.”

“Fine,” Henri agreed.

The agent left, feeling relieved.

Henri browsed Twitter for a while longer, then snorted coldly.

As a renowned actor, he refused to be outdone by a newcomer like Theresa, nor would he concede

defeat?

How was this possible!

He couldn’t believe that Theresa was truly flawless.
