Nash let out a cold laugh, "Have you ever seen such mutual affection?"The other person was left speechless. They were all adults and should be responsible for themselves, not easily deceived. It seemed to him that Nash was overreacting. However, it was understandable. Worry could cloud judgment, and Nash's concerns weren't entirely unfounded.Nash pulled back the curtain and gazed outside, his eyes deep with worry. "She hasn't interacted with many men. What if someone tricks her with a few sweet words? It's not impossible."Anything was possible. He could not afford to let his guard down for a moment.After hanging up the phone, Nash walked back to the changing room. Nina was already out, and seeing Nash come in right on time, she reached for the hair dryer. "I'll do it myself."Nash didn't insist. He looked at her and said, "I have some business to attend to. You'll have to come back another time.""Alright." Nina turned her back to him as she dried her hair, not meeting his

Reporters were not the only ones arriving here. With the rapid development of the internet, everyone was racing to be the first to publish news. Whoever reported first and with the highest accuracy would get the best ratings.Though the fashion show was not exactly breaking news. It was a live event. Everyone was vying for that first wave of traffic.Some models were already walking the runway, and several celebrities were seated in the audience. Nina was busy looking for the best angles to take photos."Miss Walker."She turned around at the sound of her name and saw Penelope behind her. She looked around. It was all staff here, while the celebrities were in the main area. "Ms. Zimmerman, what are you doing here?"Penelope responded warmly, "You donโt need to call me Ms. Zimmerman, just call me Penelope."Nina had a good impression of her. "What are you doing out here? You should be in the main area. Itโs all staff here. You might get mobbed by photographers!"She knew how craz

Compared to Miranda's knack for maintaining her controversial fame, Penelope's high standards and refusal to take on bad roles set her apart. The entertainment industry was like a fast-food market these days, with new talents constantly emerging and old ones easily forgotten. Some people became famous with just one show, but without a follow-up success, even top-tier stars could quickly fade into obscurity. In such a competitive field, Nina, despite not being in showbiz herself, understood these harsh realities. Taking on bad roles or gaining a bad reputation did not matter as long as it drew attention. In this sense, Miranda was a successful product."Youโre a great actress. Not only is your acting superb, but you also stay true to yourself. It's rare to see someone like you," Nina said to Penelope. "Youโre bound to have your moment of explosive success."Penelope looked at Nina, genuinely pleased with her praise. "I guess I should call you Reporter Nina now. Thank you for you

Nina was going to take some photos of Penelope. Although she was not famous for her looks, her acting skills were top-notch, and she had helped many male actors rise to fame. Nina admired her for her humility and composure.As the fashion show was wrapping up, Nina brought the photographer over to find Penelope.Seeing Penelope, Angel let out a loud squeal, "Penelope! I can't believe I'm seeing her in person!"Nina, amused by Angel's reaction, asked, "Why are you so excited?"Angel replied, "Of course I'm excited! I've watched so many of her dramas. Is this real? I'm meeting my idol! I adore her!"Penelope approached them and said, "Hello, I'm Penelope Zimmerman," extending her hand to Angel.Angel, feeling like she was dreaming, shook Penelope's hand, "Am I dreaming? I've seen all your dramas. I know your story, how you came from a small town and fought your way through the entertainment industry. I'm your fan..."As Angel spoke, her voice choked with emotion.Penelope quickly

Miranda was still a part of Nash's company. If she got into trouble, the company would protect her. In recent days, there had been a lot of articles aimed at rehabilitating Miranda's image. Nina looked at her outfit and commented, "Trying to imitate, huh?"Nina's words hit Miranda's pride, but this time, she was not backing down. She wanted to win, so she smiled and said, "Nina, you're not in the entertainment industry. How would you know what the audience likes? Whoever is prettier gets more attention. Do you really think there's a need for me to imitate?โShe implied that she was more beautiful than Penelope. But Penelope's acting skills far surpassed hers. She was a true talent and did not need to compete based on looks alone. Penelope stood there with a cold expression. She did not utter a word of rebuttal, seemingly unwilling to argue with Miranda.Nina decided not to argue with her either. She wanted Miranda to realize that relying on others was futile. "If you want it so

Meanwhile, Miranda was also in the midst of her photoshoot. She and Penelope were both dressed in historical costumes for their respective shoots."Great, Miranda, you're looking stunning!" The photographer praised her as he snapped pictures from various angles. "This angle is exquisite, it really pops!"Miranda, confident in her beauty, took the shoot seriously. Her looks were even more striking than Penelope's, which gave her an advantage in the entertainment industry. In this business, beauty could attract a massive following on its own. Miranda had both acting skills and beauty, and she was determined to outshine Penelope. Her real target was Nina, for collaborating with Penelope. Her real target was not Penelope, but Nina. But because Penelope was working with Nina, winning over Penelope meant winning over Nina. Winning this time would pave the way for future victories.She reviewed the photos and was satisfied, confident that they would trend."Let's ride the wave of th

"You're right, when comparing the two, I much prefer Penelope's video. I absolutely loved her character in that drama!" Miranda's face turned green with anger. What were these people saying? That Penelope's video was better than hers? Impossible! She was definitely more beautiful than Penelope.Her assistant, who had been watching from the side, started to chime in as the likes on Penelope's video exceeded ten million. "What are these people commenting? It's obvious that our Miranda looks better. Penelope is just playing on nostalgia and doesn't have any real talent. And to think she's making vide. Those are for ordinary people. No self-respecting celebrity would post on that platform. It's beneath us!"The assistant looked down on this type of behavior. In her eyes, most of the celebrities on these short video platforms were nobodies trying to make a quick buck. They would not stoop to that level."Ugh!" Miranda screamed and threw her phone against the wall.Her assistant, who h

But instead of feeling touched, Veraโs first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Veraโs face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. โAre you feeling sick?โ โI donโt think so. Iโve been eating normallyโnothing too heavy or weird lately.โ Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. โWhen did you buy that?โ He responded matter-of-factly, โBetter safe than sorry.โ Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composedโat le

Of course, Vera wasnโt about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. โYouโre twenty-five this year, right?โ Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasnโt her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. โMiss Vera, Iโm still young. Iโm not thinking about marriage anytime soon.โ Vera tapped her pen against the desk. โIโm not telling you to get married.โ โOh.โ โI just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You donโt have to run every minor document by me.โHer assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. โIf I donโt have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If somethingโs too complicated, jus

Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadnโt experienced it firsthand didnโt mean she hadnโt seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. โI... uh, need to use the restroom.โ Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. โYou and Caleb arenโt getting any younger,โ she said matter-of-factly. โYou should start thinking about kidsโmake sure youโre putting in the effort, hmm?โ Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. โThatโs your house. This is the home Iโm giving you as a weddi

That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Calebโs gazeโsubtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. โMr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.โ Calebโs sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. โHow long until we get the final prints?โ she asked. โTwo to three days at most,โ the photographer replied. โIโll have them shipped directly to you.โ Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. โI actually have a personal favor to askโwould you both be open to letting us displa

Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photosโseveral sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasnโt just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasnโt sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. โYou can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles weโve done.โ Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning conceptsโeach picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. โCa

After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasnโt disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. โMrs. Smith, donโt you want to go on a honeymoon?โ she asked one day. โOne of my friends just got married, and sheโs been obsessively researching destinations. โShe even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.โ Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. โWhy donโt you go visit Dr. Smith at work?โYou seemโฆ distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.โ Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too oftenโespecially after coming hom

Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonightโhe didnโt hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last nightโs intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasnโt until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. โCongratulations, Mrs. Smith!โ โNewlywed bliss, huh?โ โThree whole days off? Someone had a good time.โ It didnโt take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally wellโso well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

Yelena still hadnโt accepted Hunter, but he wasnโt giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelenaโs soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friendโs love life wasnโt something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. โShe came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,โ he had mentioned casually. โHunter was the one who brought her.โ Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotelโif not better.

โDid you plan this from the start?โ Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. โMm.โ Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yesโhe had always been planning this. The biggest change in Veraโs life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasnโt just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Calebโs parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Calebโs mother lecturing him. โYour dad and I werenโt expecting much from you.
