Quintessa was heading upstairs, back to her room when she happened to see Reuben. He hurriedly greeted her and then dashed off.
Quintessa wondered; this young man was usually quite enthusiastic about seeing her, what was up with him today?
The next day, she mentioned to Violet that she didn’t have time over the weekend.
Violet asked in a low voice, “Quinn, have you also been fishing for so long? Are you planning to bait the hook now?”
Quintessa laughed at herself, “This bait of mine, once cast, is only a matter of time.”
The calm and focus Quintessa found during filming was what she loved most. Even though it was exhausting, she was content dedicating herself to her work, devoid of any personal desires. This was a blissful thing.
The weekend arrived quickly, and at 7 PM, Tyrone came to pick up Quintessa.
Quintessa had thought he was ready to make a move on her, but instead, he took her straight to a styling studio and left her in the hands of a several ladies for makeup and to choose a dress without waiting for her questions.
When she finally came out in a dress, Tyrone grimaced. He had already chosen quite an unattractive dress, yet she still looked stunning in it.
He gave a reluctant nod, “This will do. You’re not getting any better than this. Let’s go.”
Quintessa looked at the dress on her and frowned, asking, “What are you up to?”
Tyrone wrapped an arm around her shoulders, “My friend’s sister’s coming-of-age party. They’ve been nagging me to come for a while now. You’re my plus one, to help me fend off people.”
Quintessa sized up Tyrone, “Someone trying to set you up?”
