"Please, have a seat."

She handed me a cup of coffee.

"Thank you."

"I... I'd like to treat you to a meal. Thank you for keeping my portfolio safe."

Lena looked at me and then burst into laughter.

I stood up in a panic, but she seemed even more delighted.

"Please, sit down. Don't be so formal. Honestly, I really like your designs, so I wanted to meet the person behind them."

I was pleasantly surprised. While I always had confidence in my work, being noticed by such a famous model made me feel like I could boast about this for a lifetime.

Our first meeting was filled with my awkwardness.

However, as she kept appearing around me, I regained my composure. It was hard to constantly flatter her when such an idol became a regular presence in my life.

Besides, Lena's personality was quite a contrast to the renowned model in my imagination.

I was not one for scheming. I caused a scene at the banquet before, so I felt like I had turned a new leaf.

However, Eric messaged me one day, saying the members of the Brody family were imprisoned for illegal deeds.

It hit me then that my attention towards Megan had been dwindling lately.
