Shani jokingly said, “You can also bring your daughter along to experience the joys of adulthood.”


    Meredith usually had a nanny, but if Mnie had to go out for a few days, she could only take her daughter with her since the nanny did not stay overnight.


    Mnie had nned to go back and arrange things with the nanny first. However, she received a call from Anna, asking her and Xander to go over immediately to help her with something.


    Anna’s agent had gone back to her country, so now she had to handle everything herself. She said she had to stay here for three months. Considering Anna was a client,


    a client, Mnie


    agreed after some thought.


    However, when she and Xander arrived, they found Anna preparing for a shoot. She waved to Mnie and said, “Hey guys,e over here quickly and help me find a good spot.”


    Mnie looked around and noticed there were no other staff members. “Why aren’t there any other workers?”


    “I didn’t hire anyone else,” Anna said. “I just want to try setting up the scene myself and shoot in my style.”


    “So, why did you call us here?”


    “I’ve set up a couple’s scene, but I can’t do it myself. You two look good together, so can you help me out?”


    Anna immediately directed the both of them to the middle of the stage. “Just stand there and I’ll adjust theyout.”


    Mnie and Xander nced at each other, feeling a bit awkward. Anna’s backdrop was mostly decorated withce and various flowers. It looked like a wedding venue at first nce.


    Xander lowered his head, smiling. <b>“</b><b>It’s </b>very beautiful here.”


    Anna took advantage of the situation and took many photos. She nned to take them home topare.


    Later that evening, when Mnie reopened her WhatsApp, she saw Anna’s status. It was


    <b>a </b>photo of her and Xander with the backdrop being the stage Anna had set up. It was


    dusk, and the lighting was hazy. Considering the background, it looked like the scene of a proposal.


    Anna’s caption read: [Lovers.]


    Of course, Anna had intended to highlight her well–constructed backdrop and the beautiful photo she had taken, hoping to seize an opportunity to transition to behind–the -scenes photography. However, it was interpreted differently by others.


    Eugene looked at the photo of the two people together, and his gaze darkened.


    There were severalments from mutual friends: [Who proposed?]


    A sharp pain gripped Eugene as he incredulously stared at Mnie in the photo, hist breath hitching slightly.


    The day Mnie and her colleagues nned to go to the hot spring resort, Xander happened to be returning to Jepton. She brought Meredith along with her, and Shani joked, “You brought your daughter along. You might miss out, then.


    “This resort is famous for being a spot for romantic encounters. There’s a good chance we’ll get to meet handsome guys.”


    “I hope you do meet someone,” Mnie replied.


    Shani raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat smug. “I already have my eye on someone. I saw a hottie at the hotel entrance just now. He’s incredibly handsome. I’m going to get his contact information shortly.”
