I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor

Chapter 469: Encroachment (5)

Translator: NovelBin

Miley Cara, one of the most popular figures in Hollywood, both as an actress and a singer, was reaching new heights in her career—almost a second golden age. It was no exaggeration to say that this resurgence started after she met Kang Woo-jin in Korea. Since then, many things had happened, each one becoming a significant topic in the media. One of those things was Cara's confession to Woo-jin. Of course, this was strictly confidential. But the media caught the scent of a possible romance and spread rumors, bringing it partially into the public eye. 

Recently, she hadn’t had the chance to meet Woo-jin, nor could she even manage the usual casual contacts, as they were both too busy. While she found herself with a bit of downtime, Woo-jin had none at all. But truthfully, that wasn’t the only reason she held back. In reality, Cara wondered:

*How will he react?*

Ever since the rumors broke out, she had been waiting to see how Woo-jin would handle the situation. She decided not to make any statements, and even restrained herself from reaching out to him, just observing his reaction from a distance.

The problem was—

*Why isn’t he doing anything?!*

There was no response from Woo-jin. Though she knew he was incredibly busy, Cara couldn’t understand why he wouldn’t at least make a short statement for the press. She had, after all, confessed her feelings to him. For her, a response—either accepting her feelings or gently deflecting them—would have at least shown her where they stood. But, nothing came.

Waiting on edge, Cara felt increasingly uneasy. *Could he really not care that much? Is he not even thinking about it?* The fact that he kept charging through his schedule without batting an eye only made her feel more and more foolish. And as Woo-jin’s *Piero* premiered and he became an even bigger force in Hollywood, any expectations Cara held that he would respond eventually seemed increasingly silly.

So she convinced herself, *It’s fine. I’ll let it go.*
