Evening, at The Elysium Winery.The men gathered together, each had a glass in hand."How did it go?" Sipping wine, Maxwell asked Howard."Yup, just signed this afternoon. Five years." Howard knew exactly what he was asking, and answered concisely."Good." Maxwell seemed satisfied.Howard glanced at Maxwell, and hesitantly asked, "What should I do next, freeze him?""What are you talking about? Why would I let you do such loss-making business?!" Maxwell rolled his eyes.Howard was confused, ‘He told me to sign Lucas to manipulate him. So, what is the situation now? If I don’t hide him away, do I uplift him?’"Aren't you optimistic about his potential and want to make him a top-notch star? Just go ahead and do it!" Maxwell said.The other men were also surprised."What are you talking about?" Logan and Hayden asked without knowing why.However, Marcus was completely opinionated about it. "Maxwell, are you out of your mind? Making him top-notch? Do you think he doesn't have en
Lindy was speechless. She thought that Sonnet might consider being with Lucas, after all, they had known each other for so many years."How did you feel when he confessed his love to you?" She asked Sonnet."I'm a bit at a loss, really. I never thought he would feel that way for me!"Lindy muttered, "That's because you are too slow..."Sonnet looked at Lindy in realization. "You knew too?"Lindy sighed. "Yes.""Then why didn't you tell me?""This is a matter between the two of you. Besides, he didn't ask me to help, why should I interfere? What if I mess things up by meddling?" Lindy said softly.Of course, she cannot deny that her intentions were a little selfish.But, now that Sonnet and Lucas have talked about it, she feels that she has no hope.When the phone rang, Lindy saw that it was Lucas, so she put him on speaker."Lindy, could you ask if your boyfriend is free tomorrow? Let’s meet at noon?"From Lucas' question, Sonnet looked at Lindy in surprise. Lindy blushed an
"We are just ordinary friends. Stop with your silly speculations! I just thought that he is easygoing. If I ask him for a favor, he will help me." Lindy quickly explained.Sonnet did not believe her. "You could’ve asked anyone for help. You have no shortage of male friends around you, yet you asked him? Oh, I remember you told me that you helped him before. What kind of help was that? "She was so curious!Marcus was interested in Lindy and she sensed it. At that time, she wanted to let them develop freely. But, she never expected the relationship between them seemed to develop deeper than she imagined!In addition to being curious, she was also a little excited. If her bestie falls in love, she must convey her blessings!Lindy was helpless. "Sonnet, you are not a gossiper. Why did you become so nosey?""That depends on the subject! You are my best friend. Of course, I’ll keep track of all your updates at any time!"Lindy spread her hands. "There’s nothing between us. As for th
"Erm... Just like how I helped you before. Could you pretend to be my boyfriend this time?"The brotherly onlookers cheered silently with nosey grins plastered on their goofy faces.Marcus glared at them, his face flushed red. He wanted to pick up the phone to listen privately, but Logan stopped him.Logan gestured ferociously, implying that if Marcus picked it up, they were going to cause trouble. Marcus had no choice but to let go again."Uhm, why..." Being watched by the crowd, he stuttered in embarrassment. "Why did you ask me to pretend to be your boyfriend? Were you pressured to go on a blind date by your family?""I’m meeting a friend.""Oh, so someone is pursuing you and you don't like him, so you’re using me as a shield?""No...it's similar. Would it be awkward for you? Otherwise, just sleep on it and let me know tomorrow morning?"Lindy was reminded that Marcus might need to give his partner a heads-up on the matter, so she made space for options.She thought, ‘If
In the morning, Sonnet went to class. Right before she entered the classroom, she received a call from Laurel. "Sonnet, you haven't reached the classroom yet, have you? Why don't you take a day off today?""Why?""Those girls are waiting to find fault with you. They want to make you kneel and apologize today! I think you should lay low today!" Laurel said anxiously.Only then did Sonnet realize that she had forgotten to take an autographed photo with Lucas!In the past two days, she was so preoccupied with Lucas’ confession that she had forgotten about photos!"No, they should apologize to us today!" She replied domineeringly.After hanging up the phone, she called Lucas. "Lucas, remember I asked you for your autographed photo that time? I completely forgot!""Sorry, it slipped my mind too. Do you want it this morning? Shall I send it to you?"Sonnet said quickly, "Don’t! You better don't come! Once they recognize you, you’ll never be able to leave the university today! Well, y
As the tables began to turn in Sonnet’s favor, the lead girl quickly said, "What's so difficult about getting the photos? I can get them if you want them! The key is the signature. Can we verify that it was signed by Macky?""Go on social media. Check and see if Lucas has posted anything." Sonnet said leisurely.Although she never checked her social media, she had iron faith in Lucas. He must have posted it.Lucas was not only a very trustworthy person to her but also to others. Once he gave his word, he will try his utmost best."We just checked, and his social page hasn't been updated at all! Who are you trying to fool?" said the leading girl."You said it yourself, you checked it way earlier. Why don’t you check it now?"As soon as Sonnet's voice fell, a girl next to her said, "Oh, he posted. The photos were the same as these! Oh, these photos are real autographed photos!"As soon as she said that the other girls immediately opened the page with their mobile phones.Laurel f
‘Thud!’The girl’s face flushed red as she dropped to her knees in front of Sonnet."Sonnet, we were wrong before. Please have mercy, I’m truly sorry! Please take me with you in the future!"Sonnet took two steps back and pulled her up. "I just asked you to apologize, not to kneel.""As long as you can take me to meet Macky, I’ll even bow down to you!"Sonnet was speechless.She said lightly, "I won't take you to meet Lucas. You can adore him, but I hope that you would be rational! I don't think he wants you to idolize him to the point of disregarding your dignity and disrupting your own life!"Everyone was silent.Sonnet said loudly: "Okay, I'll accept your apology, just don't bother me anymore."After she finished, she grabbed Laurel and headed to their seat. All the girls silently made way for them.Laurel was very excited. Her body was still trembling slightly as she sat down."Sonnet, you are amazing. Tell me, how did you do it? Do you know Macky?"Sonnet replied with
She hung up and a taxi pulled up by the side of the road. A girl in a preppy mustard-colored jacket and blue plaid skirt got out of the car.Clad in black oxford leather shoes and knee-length white socks, the girl looked youthful and gorgeous.Sonnet thought to herself, ‘This girl and that boy just now are dressed like a couple, they looked great! Are college students all fashionable now?’She was just about to look away when her gaze landed on the girl's face. Sonnet's mouth was shaped into an “O”.‘Oh, my God!‘Isn't that "college girl" my best friend Lindy Jackson?!’Lindy saw her too and hurried over to her. The twin ponytails bounced around her shoulders, making her look ten years younger!"What's the matter? Haven’t you seen such a cute girl?" Lindy smiled and waved her hands in front of Sonnet's eyes.Only then did Sonnet come back to her senses. "My God, Lindy, you just aged backward! Call me Auntie from now on, okay?"Lindy grinned and swatted her. "Stop it, that’s en
