“Oh, we’ve known each other for quite a while,” Anna said. “I worked on a promotional shoot for hispany before.”


    Anna began reminiscing. “That was my first photoshoot. Mr. Scott had given me a lot of help then. <b>If </b>it weren’t for him, I might have left the industry and would never have be a model.”


    “Why?<b>” </b>


    <b>“</b>I met some indecent people during that time who drugged my drink. Fortunately, Mr. Scott saved me from them.‘


    Anna suddenly turned to Mnie. A look shed in her eye as she remembered


    something. “I remember Miss Smith was the one who helped get a room for me. I knew I remembered you as a former employee of LeapCo.”


    Mnie paused as she looked at Anna in surprise.


    Anna asked, “Have you forgotten me? I even said I wanted to thank you, but my manager dragged me away and I forgot about it. What a coincidence to be seeing you again. It’s only right for me to toast you and Eugene.”


    She began pouring herself a ss and raised it at them.


    Mnie was distracted while drinking. She was still thinking about what Anna said and was a little lost in thought.


    There was not much else to do during the pic. After a while, Shani began to gather everyone for a game. It was the conventional Truth or Dare. They spun a bottle to pick the next person.


    Mnie nned to just apany them for the fun, but the first person the bottle pointed to was Eugene.


    Eugene looked young and energetic today. There were a few female colleagues who kept sneaking looks at him.


    He stopped fanning Meredith and Mnie and said, “Truth.”


    A woman burst out asking, “Do you have a girlfriend?”


    It was a Caucasian model who was Anna’s friend. She had not heard previous


    conversations within the group and stared right at Eugene.


    She was very interested in the man in front of her.


    Everyone’s attention was <b>on </b>him, especially Mnie’s female colleagues. They had noticed him earlier on but were too shy to ask the question because he seemed interested in Mnie.


    Eugene paused before answering, “No.”


    very


    Before the woman who asked him the question could show her delight, he continued, ” She doesn’t want me anymore because I made her angry. I’m currently trying to get her to forgive me.”


    “What a pity.”


    He turned to look at Mnie, but her face was turned away from him. She looked tense and rigid.


    Mnie lost interest in the game after a while. Meredith had to go to bed, and she went straight into her tent.


    She stayed inside the tent for a while and began to feel restless. Shani came in to have a rest, and Mnie took the opportunity to leave the tent.


    Mnie spotted Eugene and Anna walking toward her the moment she decided to walk in another direction.


    She walked away hurriedly like she was avoiding something.


    t out. She


    Mnie did not notice some tree vines below her and she tripped on them. By the time she realized it, she was already in a little forest beside theke.


    The pain from her ankle slowly crept upward her leg, and Mnie began to get worried. She wanted to call Shani on the phone, but there was no signal.


    Mnie felt even more frustrated. She must have been crazy to run at the sight of Eugene.


    She tried to stand up by holding on to the tree branches next to her, but she could only limp as she walked due to the numbing pain in her ankle.


    Mnie suddenly heard footsteps behind her. She turned to see Eugeneing over to her with a grim look on her face.
