'yawn

lory leaned against the railing, hiding behind a hoodie and sunglasses. he watched the photoshoot while drinking a cold soft drink with a bored expression. lory didn't understand what was so interesting about watching people strike exaggerated poses in front of the overzealous photographer.

"yeah, do that!"

" that's good - that's good!"

"give me a sexy pose, no - not like that! sexy, can you do sexy damm*t?!"

"..." lory watched the photographer berate the models, suddenly she had a higher appreciation for all the professional models in the world.

not far from where lory was standing, lloyd was having a serious conversation on the phone, meanwhile, garrof went elsewhere to meet his contact who would take them to brinwell.

actors, models, and celebrities have returned to their glamorous persona with stylish outfits and flawless make-up, looking at them now it's hard to imagine they are the same people whose faces were covered in tears and snot while bawling their hearts out. lory turned towards the crowd of fans cheering enthusiastically for their idols. lory had never understood this idol worship towards celebrities or other famous figures, including toward herself and her family. she and her family had no choice but to accept this kind of weird worship because of her family background but this celebrity chose this life, do they never feel burdened by it? nôv(el)b\\jnn

"enjoying yourself?"

the man's silver hair glistened under the sunlight as he strides towards her. the man looked suave in a slim-fit gray suit and white shirt, with his appearance it was no surprise he was the center of attention of women of all ages, however, lory thought that slim-fit suit would be suitable for zhao li xin but the color should be dark.

"nice suit," lory appraised sean's suits while thinking about zhao li xin.

lory complimented the suit but sean thought she was complimenting him which he didn't expect but flattered nonetheless.

"thank you" sean replied.

lory snaps from her daze and then looks at him with indifference, she turns around and takes another sip. it's hard to read lory's face behind her sunglasses but the easier exchange shows she's not as mad as before, sean thought it wouldn't be hard to fix his image in front of lory.

"is it okay to let them take your credit?" since the news about them went viral on various news outlets, the popularity of liam and his group soared drastically, they also received a lot of praise from the fans of the celebrities they had saved.

lory wasn't bothered by it, in fact, she was grateful for their group taking the attention from her and her team.

"they were indeed helped us..." lory replied briefly then continued to drink the soft drink.

sean raised his eyebrows, he wondered if she was hiding her identity or just didn't care, if only he knew that was how lory always been since she was a child.

"you want me to tell the media what really happened?" sean couldn't help but tease him.

fascinated by sean's charming smile, angela angela recounts what happened without hesitation about what happened that led to the feud between zhaoli xxin and liam. of course, he twisted some part of the story according to her version but that didn't matter cause what caught sean interested was what angela's said about what happened to liam.

angela tilted her head while thinking, "i don't know but that's how liam felt strangely there was no sign of his mana being absorbed afterward, other than fainting he had no other injury, so i'm not sure what kind of tricks that husband and wife got, nevertheless, i think they are very dangerous, therefore i suggest you not to get too close to them, especially raven jane" angela urged him to stay away from lory.

an mysterious glint flashed in his eyes, sean then looked at angela with the sweetest smile "thank you for your help miss swann"

"i'm just happy to help~" angela's face lit up with joy she thought she managed to keep sean away from lory, it's not fair why only lory got all the good guys while she had to share his only man with the other girls.

lory walked towards lloyd who had just finished a phone call, the man looked confused and resigned so she could guess who had just called him.

"any news from serena?"

lloyd slips his phone on his pants and shakes his head "well, she just told me about one of our friends needing help"

"oh, is it another ex-ultima infantry?" lory wonders how many ex-ultima infantry left after the dark age war, it can't be that many, right?

they simultaneously turned their gaze towards sean, aware of lory's gaze and lloyd waved his hand at lory as if they were a close friends or some sort. lory's expression remained calm while lloyd looked at sean with a curious face, "could it be he really likes you?"

15:02

"your friend is in trouble?" lory asked?"

"gavin? well, he's always in trouble" lloyd waved his hands "that's why i don't ask much, we already got a lot on our plate, anyway"

"that's true" lory agreed.

"by the way, what sean lockwood wanted from you, don't tell me he was he hitting on you?" lloyd takes a glance at sean who is in a middle conversation with angela.

lory shrugs nonchalantly "i'm not sure" she felt there was something strange about the way sean approached her.

they simultaneously turned their gaze towards sean, aware of lory's gaze and lloyd waved his hand at lory as if they were a close friends or some sort. lory's expression remained calm while lloyd looked at sean with a curious face, "could it be he really likes you?"

"don't know, not my problem, anyway...." lory didn't care what sean think about her, it would be good if it's that simple.

"you don't feel tempted at all, he's quite handsome young men" lloyd playfully said.

"have you seen my husband?" lory matter-of-factly said.

"noted," lloyd nodded agreedly.
