“I think it’s best to keep the engagement party as discreet as possible and hold off on notifying the media for now.
”
After taking a moment to contemte, Jordan concurred with Domenic’s suggestion and nced sympathetically at Carole.
“Apologies for any inconvenience, Carole.
”
Carole shook her head, disying understanding.
“Never mind.
I’m fortunate to be marrying a man as wonderful as Domenic.
”
Jordan’s face lit up with a smile as he reassured her, “Don’t worry, my dear, this engagement will have to be like this now.
But when it’s time for the wedding, I will oversee everything and ensure you have a magnificent ceremony.
”
Carole forced a smile for Jordan, yet inside, she felt a profound sense of emptiness.
She knew that Domenic had never seriously considered marrying her.
Lindnita Artists Agency experienced its busiest month since its opening.
Job offers for Sumner, Xiomara, and Sh inundated the agency.
From early morning, Lindsey and Nancy toiled tirelessly, working non-stop until 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
New emails kept flooding in, and Lindsey’s phone rang off the hook, nearly in a perpetual busy tone.
Lindsey and Nancy exchanged a weary nce, finally grasping the gratification of being t out.
Sh possessed a keen sense of self-assessment.
Invitations for various variety shows and movie coborations, deemed suitable by Lindsey, were forwarded directly to her for personal consideration.
As for Xiomara, despite enticing offers for lead roles in web dramas and supporting roles in some new movies, Lindsey declined them all after thorough deliberation.
Recognizing Xiomara’s recent debut and needing to hone her acting skills, Lindsey prioritized careful progression over hasty sess, which could be counterproductive.
Xiomara grasped Lindsey’s intentions and dutifullyplied with her guidance.
She devoted herself to preparing for the uingpetition, quietly perfecting her acting skills, and regrly seeking counsel from Sh.
Sumner was even more sought after than the others.
The majority of the unread emails were rted to him.
Numerous recordpanies and advertising agencies reached out, extending offers.
At the same time, film and televisionpanies also made contact, expressing keen interest in involving Sumner in their projects.
Nancy rubbed her temples, feeling the throbbing pain, and moved her chair next to Lindsey.
Her voice sounded worn out as she asked, “How many more do you have left?”Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Equally exhausted, Lindsey nced at the persistent red dots on her screen and sighed deeply.
Finally, after dealing with the essential matters, the two retreated to a shopping mall.
They shut off the social media app and took the rest of the day off.
Lindsey dragged Nancy to the men’s clothing section on the second floor.
“The weather’s getting colder, and my boyfriend seems short on warm clothes.
You’ve got good taste.
Help me pick out a few things for him.
”
Nancy, tugged along, rolled her eyes and said, “Okay, okay, can we not rub it in for us single people? Just got out of work and now I have to deal with all this mushy stuff.
Really?”
Despite herints, she went ahead and started choosing clothes for Domenic.
Lindsey, knowing Nancy was all bark but no bite, simply smiled and kept quiet.
Then, her phone buzzed with a new message on her private phone number.
Thinking it might be Domenic, she quickly checked her phone.
But the name on the screen made Lindsey frown.
It was Carole.
Carole’s message was brief.
“Lindsey, my engagement party is next Tuesday.
You’re invited.
”
Lindsey felt a hint of surprise.
Carole was getting married? She wondered who could be a match for such a remarkable woman.
Though puzzled by the invitation since their paths had crossed just once, Lindsey feltpelled to go and typed out a heartfelt reply to congratte her and confirm her presence.
