Hera was currently taking selfies with Samantha by the lakeside while Bernard and Shaun were sitting by the grassy fields, chatting. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed.
Hera looked into the distance and saw Nicholas dragging Wayne aside. She couldn't help but wonder what they were talking about.
If she remembered correctly, Wayne did not like Nicholas. But for some reason, he seemed particularly attentive toward Nicholas today.
"I think I know what's happening. They must have grown closer throughout these two days together and formed some sort of brotherhood between them," Samantha said.
Hera was skeptical. Why did she feel that Wayne was either being bought over or being threatened now?
At that moment, Nicholas marched over angrily. "Hera, help me take a few photos," he said while handing Hera the camera.
Samantha watched them and quickly moved away.
Nicholas immediately took a liking to Samantha for giving them some space.
Then, he proceeded to do all kinds of poses, wanting to show off his masculinity to Hera. Seeing that Bernard and Wayne were not coming forward to stop him, he continued to pose gleefully.
Although he wasn't as tall as Bernard, he had four-pack abs.
The sound of the camera's shutter echoed through the air.
Nicholas posed for about half an hour before happily running back to Hera. He flipped his hair coquettishly. "What do you think? Aren't I handsome?"
"Why don't you take a look at the photos yourself?" She handed the camera back to him.
He took the camera happily but was immediately dumbfounded by the contents.
"Who on earth are these people?"
Hera replied, "They're you."
She had always been a bad photographer, but her skills had improved greatly after Bernard offered to teach her last year.
Bernard had never once called her a bad photographer!
She said unhappily, "I just took them based on how you look."
