“What… what do we do?” Emily’s voice quivered as the reporters furrow her brow and slip out of sight.

Blake, his expression concerned, glanced at Emily’s flushed cheeks and teary eyes. “You little fool,”
With a gentle murmur, he embraced Emily just as the door swung open with a loud bang from outside.
The reporters, paying no attention to the room’s occupants, immediately began clicking their cameras, solely focused on capturing Cherise’s unguarded reaction.
Their anticipation for a flustered Cherise was palpable.
If mistaken, they would simply apologize.
But if Cherise stumbled, it would be front-page news!

In the dimly lit storage room, sunlight streamed through a narrow window, illuminating a couple locked in a passionate embrace atop a deserted desk.
The girl was draped over the young man’s navy blue coat, her own coat slipping off her arm as her cheeks flushed.
The young man fixed a cold stare on the reporters, his expression stern, his gaze chilling. “Leave!”
