"I''ve still got a few things to wrap up here, you can head home," Jimmie said, picking up Juniper''s backpack and handing her a mango juice.


    "Alright," Juniper nodded, taking the juice and starting to leave.


    "Juniper," Jimmie called out just as she was about to go. "About the news online..."


    "Ignore it," Juniper said nonchntly, taking a sip of her juice, her expression unconcerned.


    Some things only get moreplicated with an exnation. They were just questioning her talent and her right to be the lead in his video. In that case, she''d let the final product speak for itself. A war of words was pointless. She preferred action over talk. And action was much simpler.


    "Okay," Jimmie nodded. He walked Juniper to the door and said softly, "I''ll listen to you. We''ll announce our rtionship whenever you say the word."


    Their rtionship? Myra, who had been trailing behind them, practically swooned. Her ship was real! So Mr. Tate and Master Lunar really were a couple. With their looks, bodies, and talent, they were a perfect match!


    "Mr. Tate, the director is looking for you," an assistant interrupted.


    "Okay," Jimmie said. He gave Juniper a fewst-minute instructions, his eyes briefly sweeping over Myra as he turned to leave.


    Myra immediately mped her mouth shut, putting on her most sincere "I heard nothing, I saw nothing" expression. Master Lunar had been so good to her; she would definitely keep their secret. She''d just have to ship them in private.


    "Goodbye, Mr. Tate," Myra said respectfully, bowing her head.


    Once Jimmie was out of sight, Myra scurried over to Juniper.


    "Master Lunar, thank you so much for looking out for me in the video and for rmending me for Drew''s film," she said, her voice filled with emotion.


    Juniper tilted her head, studying her for a moment before a faint smile touched her lips. "You''re wee."


    "Don''t pay any attention to what


    those people are saying online.


    They''re just jealous. No matter what,


    I believe in you," Myra said, trotting


    to keep up with Juniper, her fists clenched in anger. "I just spent a while arguing with a bunch of them. I guess I was too aggressive, because they reported me and my ount got banned."


    She added quickly, "But it''s okay, I have plenty of alternate ounts. I''ll keep defending you."


    She was a grateful person who knew right from wrong. Master Lunar was a good person, and she wouldn''t let anyone nder her idol.


    Seeing the sparkle in Myra''s eyes, Juniper''s lips curved into a slight smile. It seemed she had chosen the right person after all.


    "And one more thing..." Myra nced around to make sure no one was listening before lowering her voice. "I will absolutely keep your rtionship with Mr. Tate a secret."


    "Oh, you figured that out?" Juniper blinked, feigning surprise. Then again, she thought, it wasn''t that surprising. Jimmie was always so attentive to her and they looked so much alike it was natural forMyra to connect the dots.


    "Thanks," Juniper said, patting Myra''s shoulder with a small smile.


    "Of course, Master Lunar." Myra''s cheeks flushed, her eyes sparkling with happiness.


    Just then, Juniper''s phone rang. A soft smile spread across her face as she saw the caller ID. "Hello?"


    "Okay," she said in azy tone.


    A momentter, a sleek ck sports car pulled up. Myra didn''t recognize the brand, but it looked incredibly expensive.
