+25 Bonus

The topic instantly sparked everyone’s excitement.

Nick and Khloe’s wedding had been grand, but it had also been intense-nerve-wracking and tense, leaving little room for relaxation. Everyone agreed that Michael and Winnie’s wedding in Goldmont City should be the opposite: warm, casual, and easygoing.

Voices overlapped as ideas bounced around, and before long, the discussion stretched over an hour.

But having just finished Nick and Khloe’s whirlwind celebration, Michael and Winnie weren’t in a hurry. They preferred to wait a little, at least until the newlyweds had some time to recover.

When the small gathering ended, Charlotte followed Arista’s car back to the hotel, and Michael and Winnie left together. Only Michelle stayed in Jayelle City to meet a friend, arranging her own car.

“Lenny, give Michelle a ride,” Khloe called out to Lenny.

She had noticed the subtle tension between Lenny and Michelle lately. Whenever they were all together, Lenny would keep his distance if Michelle was around, and Michelle, in turn, seemed restless whenever he was nearby-soon excusing herself to leave. The two seemed strangely distant.

Hearing Khloe’s request, Lenny hesitated briefly, then nodded. Michelle immediately waved her hand.

“No, it’s fine. I’ve already called a car. It’s right outside, very convenient.”

“Better let someone drive you. We just had a dangerous incident recently, and it’s not safe. Or maybe call Ralph? He’s been seeing you often lately; he could pick you up.” Khloe’s words left both Michelle and Lenny frozen.

They glanced at each other; one quickly looked away, the other lowered his head.

“No need to bother Ralph. And we’re not that close,” Michelle said, sounding a little annoyed, before canceling the car and leaving with Lenny.

The car moved smoothly through Jayelle City’s streets. Lenny kept his eyes fixed on the road, brow furrowed, breathing tense. Michelle sat in the passenger seat, staring out as the city blurred past.

The silence between them was thick, almost tangible.

Finally, Lenny broke it. “Miss Keller, how have you been recently?”

Michelle answered lightly, “I’m fine. And you?”

“I-I’m fine, of course,” Lenny replied tersely.

Another stretch of silence followed. The car stopped at a red light. Lenny spoke again, his voice betraying a hint of nervousness. “I heard you’ve been going out with Ralph lately… he seems like a good guy. You two… seem well matched,”

Michelle’s shoulders stiffened. She finally turned toward him, her gaze sharp and cold.

“When did you get so nosy? Do you really think just because you’re an assistant, you can meddle in my affairs?”

Her voice was soft, but to fenny, it landed like a heavy punch to the chest. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he opened his mouth, then realized he had nothing to say.

Of course he was just an assistant. What right did he have to interfere? And Michelle’s life wasn’t his business. Their social positions were so different. She might have called him a friend before, but how could he ever take that seriously?

After a long pause, his face burned red, and he could only mutter awkwardly, “Sorry… I overstepped.”
