The black SUV glided smoothly along the highway, passing countless flickering neon signs. Wendy rolled down the window a little, letting the cool night air rush into the cabin, dispelling the inexplicable heat of the July evening.How did he know she worked at TAL?Wendy's heart beat a little faster. Maybe he had seen the staff list, or overheard someone mention it?Then why did he later suggest switching the shoot to have him do it?Things like this—you could never know the answer by guesswork alone. As long as you didn't ask, they remained forever as unconfirmed speculation.But given their current situation, she couldn't just ask Asher directly. Wendy's mind was a tangled mess. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and leaned back. She didn't want to worry about it anymore.Nothing was wrong. She was perfectly fine on her own. Why did he have to show up?It wasn't like anyone missed him so much they couldn't sleep—sh

"Me too. I've already told Zara. I didn't come to New York because of you. I don't like you anymore, and I'm not thinking about getting back together or anything!"Asher's expression had become so awful and stiff it was unbearable to look at.The car stopped outside Wendy's apartment building. Wendy retrieved the two bags of gifts Jessica had given her from the back seat, didn't linger, and turned and entered the building.Asher didn't call out to stop her, didn't try to keep her. His gaze followed Wendy's back until it disappeared down the hallway.Yet, despite having said earlier that he was tired and wanted to go home and rest properly, his car didn't leave.The enclosed car interior still held the last trace of her scent. Asher breathed in deeply, as if trying to etch her smell into his lungs, leave it in every part of his body, fuse it with his beating heart.On Tuesday, the public service advertisement (PSA) officially went live on TAL

Wendy looked into Asher's eyes, trying hard to read some message there, but she couldn't bear to hold his blue gaze for more than two seconds before looking away.Wendy had always felt that the person who proposes a breakup is only active at the moment they say the words; everything after that is passive. Whether they can get back together, whether they want to get back together—of course, it's not up to the one who was the most ruthless and hurtful in the first place.So, even though she still liked him, liked him a lot, she couldn't say it, couldn't show it.Judging by the fact that Asher hadn't come looking for her all these years, he no longer liked her.If Asher hadn't been so cold on the day they reunited at the photography studio, she wouldn't have been so careful to keep her distance either.How the two of them should interact was him setting the question, her answering. Him showing his stance, her fol

At 10:47 PM, the bar was in full swing.With just a casual glance, any random corner you happened to look at most likely held a famous face familiar to many—whether celebrities, influencers, or athletes. Many treated tonight's party as a relaxed social occasion.Duan He's extravagant boasts about his connections were being proven true one by one here. But the one person everyone else was looking for was nowhere to be found—the host of tonight's party, Asher Voss.In a semi-secluded corner of the VIP area on the second floor.A beautiful black-haired girl was held in Asher's arms, the two of them kissing. She seemed somewhat unwilling, perched awkwardly astride him, her hands pressed against his firm pectoral muscles in resistance.Compared to her, Asher was far more proactive. His right hand supported her back, his left hand pinched her chin, domineeringly pinning her completely in place. Even as she trembled from his fierce kisses, wan

David and Song Keling both snapped their heads towards Wendy. David's expression was relatively normal, but Song Keling's reaction was exaggerated, her eyes practically popping out of her head at the mention of Asher's name. She looked at David in shock, confirming that the big star tonight was indeed named that, right?Wendy was also stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected Duan He to have seen them, and she was a bit startled."Nothing, I was just saying it casually. You're definitely not the kind of girl who pretends to be pure on the surface but actually uses tricks to sleep her way to the top!""I was indeed with Asher just now."Wendy looked coldly at Duan He and admitted directly, "Duan He, so you're this petty and tasteless! I've already rejected you. It's my freedom to be with whichever guy I want. When I first chatted with you, I thought you were a decent person. I never expected you to be such a good actor. Does any girl who breaks up with you
