"Yeah! He's handsome and wealthy. But Mae, have you ever considered finding a stepdad for the baby?"
Mavis frowned. "What are you talking about?"
"Fine, just ignore me. You have someone you like, and that tourist guy is married. That's great. Everyone seems to have someone they care about. But me? I'm still single."

That evening, Nathaniel was tired from traveling and asked his bodyguard to inform Ella that he would not be joining her for dinner.
Ella was a bit disappointed.

The next morning, Sheena called a shareholders' meeting to discuss which investment project to choose.
With everyone assembled, Sheena smiled and began presenting the findings from their recent trip.

Sheena glared at him.
