Falling for the Chase

Episode 25: Premiere Night

Episode 25: Premiere Night

The first thing that greeted Valentina as the car stopped in the driveway were bright flashes and clicks from cameras of the red-carpet event.

This launch was swarming with more paparazzi than she had expected.

It cemented the truth of this being the most anticipated series of the year.

The bright lights were blinding.

Though the windows of her vehicle were tinted, the lights still invaded them.

Her manager gave her a sideways glance, cheek lifting with an excited smile.

"It's your time to shine, pumpkin."

With that, Ray exited the car first before holding out his hand for her to take.

She was a little nervous at being exposed to this degree of limelight but the encouraging cheers from her fans lifted her spirits.

The actress elegantly climbed out of the car. She took a gluttonous amount of air to calm her rising nerves. It didn't take long before her form had relaxed and she was waving friendly to the paparazzi and onlookers.

They could hardly believe their eyes.

Valentina looked just as good to be mistaken as the female lead of this series.

When she had stepped out in all of her glory, shoulders squared and head high, the people could only fawn. Dressed in a beautiful green dress with a provocative split to the side, there was an enhancement of her skin tone. With silver earrings to match and her signature chocolate curls, she was no further than the definition of femme fatale.

"Valentina!"

"Valentina over here!"

"Valentina we love you!"

Interviewers pressed forward, cameras clicked faster and the people began to whisper and talk among themselves.

"How is it possible that someone is so naturally gorgeous?"

"More like how was she able to get her hands on that dress?! It has to be custom made!"

"Are you forgetting she signed with Willsway Co. recently? I'm not surprised with the rumors of her being close to the boss."

"Forget about the dress, just look at how luscious her curls are! That can't be real hair."

"Of course it isn't. She's always wearing extensions but acting like it's all natural. What a fake."

"Tell me about it. No wonder there's always news about her having done plastic surgery."

"Shut the hell up and stop talking about my queen like that!"

Valentina was smiling brightly for the photos, not caring about the haters and strutted down the red carpet like an actual model on a runway.

She had enough experience in that field too to be considered as one.

It didn't take long before the entire crew were joined together.

Valentina offered Emily a friendly hug, missing the eye roll given by someone on the sidelines.

"How have you been?" She asked, twisting the woman's curls to sit more compliantly on her shoulders.

"Just peachy."

Emily smiled at the response.

"Me too," she whispered after leaning in.

Valentina gave her an odd look.
