The moment Josephine returned to the villa, she started packing her things.
George hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "Ms. Dunn… You booked two tickets. Don't tell me you're planning to take me to Sunvale with you?"
"What, you don't want to go?"
"Of course I do!" he practically shouted, eyes lighting up. "My girlfriend's in Sunvale! If I didn't have to look after you, I wouldn't have had to come all the way from Sunvale to Crestwood—uh, I mean... I'll book the tickets for you right now!"
His excitement got the better of him, and he ended up blurting out more than he should have.
Josephine cocked her brow, piecing things together. George had come from Sunvale to Crestwood for a business trip. That meant Ethan hadn't just pulled a random driver from his villa in Crestwood—George had been specifically sent from Sunvale to take care of her.
On top of that, Ethan had kept it a secret. Why? Before she could figure it out, her phone buzzed with a message from Mason. "Ms. Dunn, check your account. Yvan left you a comment."
Yvan? Josephine immediately whipped out her phone. The moment she opened her account, her notifications were a disaster—unread messages: 999+, likes: 999+, comments: 999+.
She hadn't expected Yvan to be doing so well. His popularity hadn't faded over the years—if anything, his fanbase had only grown stronger. Bracing herself, she tapped into the comment section.
Yvan: "Old friend, why didn't you call me to collaborate on your new movie?"
Fortunately, he hadn't gone nuts. Josephine exhaled in relief. Her shoulders relaxed slightly, but the moment she saw his profile picture, her fingers stilled.
His profile picture was a photo she had taken of him. That winter, after his performance, they had walked down a street in a foreign country with his guitar on his back. When she noticed the snow falling, she pulled out her phone to snap a picture of him. Then, she had him pose for a few more. She had spent nearly an hour trying to capture the perfect shot.
