Rumors about their relationship had already set social media on fire, so naturally, everyone at the set was buzzing with speculation and gossip.
"There she is! Sherilyn's really living a fairy tale, isn't she?" "Guess we'll be calling her Mrs. Johnson soon, huh? Mr. Johnson himself making it official!" "Man, doing well is great and all, but marrying well? That's the jackpot!" Feeling the weight of stares coming from all directions, Sherilyn frowned, attempting to free her arm from his grip.

Sherilyn glanced at him, nodded silently, and turned to walk inside.

The show's getting a ton of buzz because of you! The hot searches are all about you and this project..." As Karol chattered away, Sherilyn couldn't muster any interest, only feeling annoyed.

"Mr. Gilbert, Ms. Bennett's awake. She's been moved from the ICU to a regular room. Would you like to cover?" "Sure." Gilbert agreed, "I'm on my way."

Caroline shook her head firmly, "Don't say that! How could this be your m fault? Anyway, have they found out who's behind this?" "Hmm." Gilbert's frown deepened, but he offered no details. "...The Harrisons?" Caroline guessed, her voice low.
"Yes." Gilbert confirmed.
