She dangled her legs leisurely, her gaze resting lazily on the girls.
Wait a minute.
Why did this girl look so familiar?
She had definitely seen her somewhere!
Oh no.
The answer was right on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't spit it out.
"Hello. I'm Ms. Payne's fiancé, Shanley Schwartz," Mr. Show-off voluntarily chimed in.
Shanley Schwartz?
The Shanley Schwartz from the Schwartz Group?
So. The "Ms. Payne" he was referring to had to be the top scorer of the college entrance exam, the movie star's sister...
The one with a million titles, Juniper Payne?
Wasn't she the person who had been sweeping every major news headline lately?
Oh my god.
Who did she think she was, daring to ask Shanley Schwartz for his number?
"Ms. Payne, do you approve?"
Shanley's voice instantly drew the attention of everyone around them.
Juniper furrowed her brow, wishing the ground would swallow her whole.
She just gave him an official title; did it really hype him up this much?
"It's Mr. Schwartz."
Recognizing him, the people around began to whisper.
"And Juniper Payne, his fiancée!"
"They really do look perfect together!"
"A while ago, Director Miranda Zuniga personally took to Twitter to clear her name. It's obvious the Schwartz family approves of this relationship. Juniper joining the Schwartz family and soaring to the top is practically a done deal."
"I wonder how she managed to chase him down. She actually got Mr. Schwartz!"
"She's so lucky, I'm jealous!"
The crowd's chatter mostly revolved around Juniper, uncaring whether their words painted her as merely lucky or a gold digger who struck it rich.
Juniper listened quietly, not saying a word.
Instead, it was Shanley who spoke up first.
