The car stopped, and the door opened. The first thing Myra saw was a pair of long, straight legs. Her eyes traveled up... and she gasped, her pupils dting. He was gorgeous. Which celebrity was this? How had she never seen him before? With a face like that, he should be famous.
Just as Myra was about to ask who he was, Juniper walked over and stopped right in front of the man.
Myra was confused. Of course, Master Lunar knew him.
"Tired?" Shanley asked, taking her hand in his left and gently caressing her cheek with his right. His handsome face was filled with a doting smile.
"Sort of," Juniper leaned into his embrace,ining wearily, "The food on set was terrible. I want Dana''s cooking."
"Okay," Shanley chuckled softly. "Dana''s already prepared everything. It''ll be ready when we get home."
"Good," Juniper nodded. Before getting in the car, she turned back to the stunned Myra. "I''m heading out."
"Goodbye, Master Lunar," Myra managed, raising a hand in a weak wave. Her face had gone pale, and she looked utterly possessed. She stood frozen until the car disappeared from sight, then her mind started reeling as she reyed the scene.
The way Master Lunar interacted with that man was clearly far more intimate than her interactions with Mr. Tate. And they were going home to eat together... Could they be living together?
No, no, that couldn''t be right. Myra shook her head, trying to clear it. Weren''t Master Lunar and Mr. Tate in a secret rtionship? So who was this guy? Was Master Lunar dating two men at the same time?
Oh my god. Was she that progressive and bold? And more importantly, both men were incredibly handsome and charismatic.
Wait a minute. This meant she had stumbled upon several of Master Lunar''s secrets in a single day. Especially what she just saw with this man... Would Master Lunar be angry? Would she get her cklisted? Myra clutched her head in fear, backing away. All the joy she''d felt moments ago had vanished.
That evening, after her shower, Juniper leaned against her headboard, ying a video game. She controlled the characters with both hands simultaneously, her movements fluid and impressive.
"Did you see the news online?" Shanley asked, sitting beside her with a serious expression. "Should I..."
"No," Juniper cut him off without looking up, her tone calm. "Being known as Mr. Tate''s sister would
probably cause me mare trouble. than people saying I''m not worthy of being the female lead."
She had idly scrolled through the news earlier. Tsk. Her brother had a lot of crazy fans. If their rtionship was revealed now, she could perfectly imagine the swarm of paparazzi and obsessive fans that would camp outside Aurora High every day. It would be exhausting and would disrupt not only the school but also the students trying to study for their exams.
"We''ll deal with itter," Juniper said with a yawn. "I''m tired. Let''s sleep."
"Okay." Shanley tucked her in. "You go ahead and sleep. I have to take care of something quickly."
Even though Juniper didn''t want to reveal their family connection, he couldn''t stand the nasty things being said about her online. The ounts needed to be banned, and the posts
had to be deleted.
Juniper just stared at him in silence.
"I''ll be back in five minutes," he promised.
"Fine," she said, ncing at the clock, clearly starting a timer.
"This girl," he thought with a sigh. He was pretty sure she just used him as a human sleeping pill.
