The camera flashes were blinding.
Scott McQueen stood at the center of a blizzard of white lights and microphones as his face froze somewhere between confusion and regret. Every reporter seemed to be shouting at once as their questions overlapped chaotically.
"Scott! Scott—how long have you and Bella Trevors been together?!"
"Bella Trevors is the daughter of a literal billionaire family and also its heiress… can you handle her?!"
"Is this relationship public? Does this mean you officially have more than two girlfriends now?!"
That last one made Scott blink.
His brow lifted.
Then a thought slithered in.
『… Wait. Shit. Did I ever actually tell Judy I had more than one girlfriend?』
He closed his eyes for a second.
『Oh, right. I did. That time at the hospital… fuck.』
He already looked tired, and now he felt it in his bones.
Reporters didn't give him time to breathe.
"Mr. McQueen, is it true you're signing the Glacier Water deal? The million-dollar one?"
