Luna raised her head stiffly to gaze at Shannon. "Yes, I remember."
Shannon pursed her lips and said, "I have a college friend who's working as a reporter now, and he's always camped out in front of airports. When I was talking to him this morning, he told me that he had seen Aura at the airport. She's returned to Banyan City.
"Initially, I thought maybe he had mistaken someone else as Aura, but he told me that because she used to b e a celebrity, he’d recognize her anywhere. He even sent me a photo to prove he was right."
With that, Shannon pulled out her phone to show
Luna the photo. "Look."
Luna furrowed her brows and glanced at the photo on Shannon's phone.
It was indeed Aura. It had been a few months since she last saw Aura, so the first thing she noticed was how much weight Aura had lost. She also looked much more beautiful than before.
Aura wore a red trench coat and smiled at the photographer, but for some reason, Luna found her smile somewhat eerie and spine-chilling.
She pursed her lips and shifted her gaze away from the photo. "It’s her, alright.”
“I'm surprised that she's back now." Shannon shot Luna a wary look. "Do you...think she's come back to steal President Lynch from Fiona? She used to be his fiancee, after all. Even though they've broken off their engagement, they were still together for five years.
"Meanwhile, Fiona and President Lynch have only known each other for a short time, but they seem to be a very sweet couple..." 1
Luna narrowed her eyes and mulled over this for a moment, then chuckled. "I'm curious as to who will win if they really do get in a fight over him."
With that, she exhaled and continued tidying her things. "I don't have time for this, though."
She handed Shannon a name list and ordered, "Help m e summon all these people here. I want to get ready for the jewelry design contest soon."
