Chapter 1241:
His gaze had been fixed on Annabel, filled with tenderness and affection. At first, Margo told herself that Rory was simply a gentleman by nature and treated everyone the same. But deep down, she knew she was only lying to herself. Maybe the way her own eyes landed on Rory was the same.
That night, when Rory left her stranded by the roadside, she hadn’t known whether she should blame him—or even resent him. Even now, she still didn’t have an answer.
And at this moment, Margo felt an urge to escape the ceremony altogether.
When she finally snapped back to reality, she realized everyone else had already finished speaking and the event was about to end.
As the stage cleared for the interview segment, Margo unexpectedly spotted a familiar face among the media.
Dunn walked up to her with a bouquet of vivid roses. With a warm smile, he offered them to her.
“They’re for me?” Margo pointed at herself, trying to confirm the flowers were truly meant for her. Although Dunn could be considered an investor, it was unusual for an investor to personally present flowers at an opening ceremony.
Under the crowd’s watchful eyes, Dunn stopped in front of Margo and confessed earnestly, “Margo, I like you. Would you be my girlfriend p>
In an instant, the media erupted into a frenzy, cameras snapping rapidly as they captured the moment between Dunn and Margo.
It was the first time anyone had declared their love at an opening ceremony, and the shock rippled through the room. Margo covered her mouth, stunned, and stared at Dunn in a daze.
What was happening?
Dunn watched Margo’s reaction and spoke in a deliberately slow, gentle voice. “The truth is, I’ve wanted to tell you this for a long time, but I never had the chance. I don’t want to let this opportunity slip away again.” Despite how calm he sounded, his knuckles whitened around the bouquet.

Margo bit her lower lip as the reality of the moment finally sank in. She had never expected Dunn to have feelings for her.
They had only known each other for a few months, and she had always seen him as a friend. The whole thing felt absurd.
And yet, looking back… wasn’t that exactly what she was to Rory?
Margo stole a glance at Rory, only to find him unmoved, his gaze still fixed on Annabel.
Disappointed, Margo turned back to Dunn and put on a radiant smile. Then she opened her arms and leaned into him, burying her head against his chest.
Gasps and rapid camera shutters erupted from the audience. The noise swelled so loud she could no longer hear the frantic, uneven beat of her own heart. Annabel was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, immediately realizing it had the power to eclipse the drama’s popularity itself.
Margo, now at the center of attention, had inadvertently become a hot topic—both a blessing and a curse.
For an actress, a public relationship almost always came with consequences.
“Is this really okay?” Margo’s agent asked anxiously.
