Wyneth had initially wanted to say hi to Luke, considering he was her senior in the acting circle. But she felt his gaze lightly graze over her before swiftly pulling back and sauntering off to order his food as if he had not seen her. The urge to greet him vanished instantly.'Fair enough, he's Luke after all, top-tier among male actors. He only spoke to me because we were co-stars. Now that filming is over, why would he risk any misunderstandings by chatting to me off set?' she mused, sipping some water.Yoyo kept babbling, "How can he eat such high-calorie food and still maintain such a good figure?"At this, Wyneth shot her a look. "Probably does it like you do.""Huh?""Eats once every few months, then starves for a few more.""Sounds about right." Yoyo broke into a satisfied grin. "Glad I'm not the only one suffering." Then Yoyo looked up to see Luke, having finished ordering, apparently searching for a place to sit. The place was packed, and some actresses at the neighbori
The vibe at the table shifted abruptly, turning icy in the blink of an eye. Even Yoyo, who typically sailed through life without a care in the world, sensed the sudden frost in the air. She shot a glance at Wyneth, her expression unreadable, then swung her gaze over to Luke.'Whoa... am I sensing some unusual tension here? Or is it just me?' She blinked, once and then again, putting on an act of playing the innocent, blissfully ignorant of the unfolding drama.Wyneth shot Luke an odd look. "So, you've got a thing for silver, huh, Luke?" Luke choked slightly on her words. She pursued. "What kind of silver pieces pique your interest?" Wyneth leaned her chin on her hand, her posture radiating the tenacity of someone ready to delve into a meaningful discussion.Luke was not particularly interested in silver pieces. Most of his time was spent acting and resting. His spare time was consumed by working out and reading, which already taxed him. Besides, silver pieces and similar items did n
Wyneth eyed Luke. "Why do I get the feeling you're not really enjoying this?""Not enjoying?" Yoyo looked puzzled. "Then why would he even come to a barbecue joint?"Luke gave Wyneth a sidelong glance, a thought apparently tickling him enough to draw a chuckle. "Yeah, I guess I'm not really enjoying it. After all, this is a calorie bomb. Why don't you do the honors?" With that, he slid the plate of barbecue in the middle of the table.Wyneth and Yoyo were struck dumb. Wyneth swallowed, her appetite suddenly gone at the sight of the heaping plate of barbeque. Yoyo's eyes, on the other hand, sparkled. "Can I really have it? But, what if my manager...?""If your manager asks, just say it was my treat," Luke said."Really? Can I say that? My manager might think I'm lying since I'd never have a chance to know you."Luke looked at the barbecue plate, then made a decision. "We can exchange phone numbers. Maybe we'll collaborate in the future."'E-Exchange phone numbers?' Yoyo felt like
Upon the original poster's clarification, fans refrained from digging deeper. Luke and Wyneth's seating arrangement was a product of necessity, with no other options available. For this to be gossip-worthy seemed to suggest fans were missing the bigger picture. Still, certain drama-chasing, traffic-seeking gossip sites took liberty with the story.These sites presented the photo unaltered, yet their captions told a different tale.[High-profile Luke Langdon and leading lady Wyneth Walford share a barbecue. Off-screen romance, perhaps?][Luke Langdon and Wyneth Walford spotted enjoying a casual barbecue. Has love turned our golden boy down-to-earth?][Caught cozying up at dinner: Luke Langdon and Wyneth Walford.

The original Facebook post had been a blip on the radar, but with the story's retelli
"Married for a year and you're asking about when?" came the collective response. Having learned about the situation, Shaun nonchalantly shrugged off the question, addressing the crowd, "Don't sweat it, folks. He's always in his own little world." Shaun had concerns about Luke's personality when he first took him under his wing. He figured if Luke was not more polished in the entertainment circle, he would step on a lot of toes. But his undeniable talent and good looks put others on edge, afraid to offend him.Luke had always marched to the beat of his own drum, and this time, he actually noticed that Wyneth had lost weight. More importantly, he spoke up for her. As Shaun was staring at him unblinkingly, a pillow flew into his face. Luke said with unmistakable disgust, "Quit staring at me like I'm some freak show." His voice brought Shaun back to reality. Shaun swatted away the pillow, then put his hands on his hips, glaring at Luke. "Who gave you the right to fling a pillow in my face
Snapping back to reality, Shaun realized he had almost divulged Wyneth's secret. He waved it off awkwardly. "Nothing, just rambling."Luke squinted suspiciously. "Your expression doesn't suggest idle babbling."Shaun knew he could not fool the sharp-minded Luke, so he shrugged. "Eh, knowing too much isn't always beneficial. Ignorance can be bliss."At Shaun's words, Luke furrowed his brows. 'What could it be?' He discerned a hint about Wyneth. 'She doesn't need to cling to me for popularity. She has connections with people more influential and famous than me, right? Is it possible?' Memories of their dinner at the restaurant stirred. 'She had a touch of melancholy when she mentioned she wouldn't date. Is the person Shaun alluded to the one who broke her heart?'As Luke pondered, Shaun suddenly closed the gap between them, peering intensely into his eyes. Luke recoiled, frowning at the uncomfortable proximity."What are you doing?" Luke questioned.Shaun squinted, his face stern,
He stared at the screen of his phone for a long while before finally setting it aside, leaned back, and closed his eyes. 'It seems I can't do anything,' he thought.As this was happening, Shaun received a phone call."Shaun, the matter has been dealt with."Shaun was taken aback. "That quick?""Uh... " The voice on the other end hesitated. "All we needed to do was issue a statement. The rest... has been taken care of by someone else."Hearing this, Shaun felt something was off. "What do you mean 'only issue a statement'?""Well, when we went to post our statement, we noticed that all the rumor-spreading posts on gossip sites were deleted.""All of them? Deleted?""Yes. Did Luke do something?"Shaun pressed his lips together. 'Normally, the company directly handles Luke's affairs. All these years, his background was clear-cut, and while he did come from a privileged family, he typically refrained from pulling strings. Could it be...?' Shaun's mind clicked. 'There's only one per
