Chapter 192: Better off without each other
For the past three months, Fil didn’t indulge in any news of the people she left in the city. She didn’t bother trying to find out about what happened to Valerie or Vincent, the music video of Anton, Marcus, or even the mysteries behind Michael.
The least she did was keep in contact with Marianne as little as possible. Just brief updates of their situations and then they would move on. Marianne was happy with just that. Even Jackson was surprised at how low-maintenance Marianne was. But overall, Marianne didn’t mention anything about them — not even a word. Well, aside from telling Fil she was too busy that she hadn’t been meeting them as well.
Even so, since Fil was back in the city, she wanted to brief herself. She was only here for a week, but she wanted to equip herself with news about those people. Who would know what was coming to her, after all? One week was a long time for those people to make it feel like an eternity.
With that thought in mind, Fil started browsing the internet since she didn’t have to clean the place anymore. She might as well do something more productive. Hence, she started with Anton, the easiest one.
"Wow," she muttered. "Kim told me she saw the music video and said it was a global hit. I thought she was exaggerating."
After all, if the music video was a global sensation, why didn’t Fil feel like a celebrity? No one in their town didn’t even mention it. But then again, their town was still more into watching television and knew mainstream celebrities.
"Hmm." Fil scrolled through the articles until she ended up on the video link. "We look good on the thumbnail."
It had been three months since the music video was released, but until now, Fil hadn’t seen it. This would be the first. A smile slowly appeared on her face as she watched the music video, appreciating the work everyone put in here to create this almost four-minute video.
"Even though I am one of the actors, I’m still surprised at the outcome," she nodded approvingly. "Anton is a good actor too, and a musician."
