Overwhelmed by the anticipation of gossip, Isabella walked briskly. As she turned the corner, a person suddenly stumbled right in front of her, causing the box in that person's hands to tumble directly toward Isabella.

For a moment. Isabella couldn't stop in time. She was about to be hit by the scattered objects pouring out of the box when she suddenly felt a force around her whist pulling her back.

In the blink of an eye, Isabella found herself crashing into a sturdy embrace. Surprisingly, not a single fragment of the scattered objects had touched her.

At that moment, she was encircled by Alexander's arm around her waist. Looking up, she saw his other arm shielding her front. No wonder she hadn't felt any impact. It turned out that anything flying toward her had been deflected by Alexander's protective armis, "Are you okay?" A deep voice echoed above her, the underlying concern evident even through the cold undertones it carried

Isabella was slightly taken aback. "I'm fine. I'm fine.."

Alexander released Isabella, and only then did they both lift their heads to look ahead. They saw a young girl with a high ponytail, wearing a black mask, sitting somewhat awkwardly on the ground. A box had fallen beside her, spilling various cosmetics all around. The girl quickly realized what had happened, hastily stood up, and pulled down her mask, bowing in apology. "I'm sorry. I hope I didn't hurt you... Wait... Ms. Jeannet?"

Isabella recognized the person as well. She was the assistant makeup artist assigned to their group by the production team of "My Acting Skill." Isabella could recall that her name was Dakota Meadows.

"Dakota? Is that you?" Isabella asked.

Dakota probably didn't expect Isabella to recognize her. She immediately apologized, saying. "Im sorry, Ms. Jeannet. It's all my fault for not having a steady grip."

"It's all right, but y-you don't seem well," Isabella said, furrowing her brows as she looked at her.

Dakota looked rather pale, with dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating a lack of rest. She appeared extremely fatigued and haggard, almost to the point of frailty. Just earlier, she had stumbled, barely managing to hold on to her belongings. Dakota, however, had a resilient spirit, one that couldn't be easily defeated. She quickly put on a smile and said, "I'm fine. I've just been too busy to grab a bite, and I guess I got a bit light-headed from hypoglycemia."

As they were talking, someone from afar was calling out for Dakota.

Dakota quickly said to Isabella, "Ms. Jeannet, you carry on. I won't waste any more of your time."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but cast a restrained glance toward Alexander, who was standing next to

Isabella.

As the makeup artist for their team, Dakota had encountered Alexander several times. No matter how

Christopher. Even in her professional capacity, she couldn't help but marvel at his superior genetics.

Occasionally, she had overheard that these two were married. However, they were discreet, and Dakota was not the type to gossip about inside information she had happened to come across. She was very measured, so she didn't show much curiosity about why the couple was there that night.

She simply found the pair standing together to be quite a sight for sore eyes. After all, as a makeup artist, she had a high standard for aesthetics. Upon seeing a handsome man and a beautiful woman, she couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

After finishing her words. Dakota hurriedly went to pick up the makeup products scattered on the ground. Seeing her frantic state, Isabella naturally bent down to help her. Alexander, standing nearby, didn't say much and also lent a hand. This alarmed Dakota, who quickly waved her hands, insisting they didn't need

f to help.

However, it didn't take long to gather the items. Dakota's face flushed with embarrassment. At the same time, she felt that the two people in front of her were likely true members of high society. They were cultured and refined. Even though she felt a sense of distance, they didn't display any condescending attitudes,

The last item that Alexander picked up was a delicate bracelet, which made him pause slightly when he saw it

"Oh, thank you! Thank you. How did it break? Thankfully, it isn't lost." Caught off guard, Dakota accepted the bracelet with a look of relief as if she had narrowly escaped a disaster. She examined it carefully and cautiously placed it in her pocket, finally feeling at ease The urging sound came again. Only then did Dakota express her thanks and leave.

It was only after Dakota had left that Isabella clicked her tongue twice. "Just by looking at that bracelet, you can tell it's a gift from her boyfriend, a man who relies on women. I must say, that man knows how to woo a girl. The bracelet he gave her does seem to have a certain taste to it. I just can't figure out what brand it

Alexander said, "That's custom-made."

Isabella let out a sound, curiously asking, "Is it very expensive?"

Alexander didn't know how to put it. "That one she has isn't expensive."

Isabella shrugged, saying, "I suppose so. Well, you know what..."

The two of them continued to move forward, with Isabella unable to resist gossiping with Alexander. After all, it was during the time of the show's recording that everyone had spread the word. It wasn't the type of secret information dug up from the system, so Isabella shared the gossip without any hesitation.

Upon hearing Isabella's tone, Alexander turned his ear toward her, obediently listening.

"She's the assistant makeup artist for "My Acting Skill" and earns a decent income. Yet, aside from that, she hustles everywhere, taking on makeup gigs for others. You could tell just by looking at her that she was worn out. All of this is because she has a freeloading man to provide for. That man relies on her."

f

Relies on her?"

"She has a boyfriend whom she has supported for two years. He lives off her, cats her food, and never

leaves the house for work because he is trying to start his own business online. All of his living expenses are covered by her, and she doesn't mind. In fact, she always gives him the best of everything. She cares for him in every aspect of life and firmly believes in hul talent, convincing him he will succeed. She doesn't tunk he's relying on her, and she'll get upset if anyone suggests otherwise. Eventually, even her mentor gave up trying to advise her."

"Her boyfriend just lets her get this exhausted?" Alexander raised an eyebrow.

Isabella nodded, saying, "Perhaps there are indeed men who, driven by their entrepreneurial ventures, need to rely temporarily on women for support. However, I don't think her boyfriend is one of them..." "That's true. If he was really helpless, he should have refused when she was trying to provide him with a better living environment. It makes no sense, and he's enjoying himself while his girlfriend suffers."

Isabella immediately patted Alexander on the shoulder and said, "Exactly! I've even seen her take an advance payment just because her boyfriend had a car accident with someone's luxury car. They ended up arguing, leaving no room for negotiation, and she had to pay for the damages using all her savings. Her boyfriend is really a useless and irrationally angry man, I wonder what she sees in him. Did he save her life. or something?" Isabella genuinely felt sympathy for Dakota. Hence, she didn't hold back her harsh words. However, Isabella never considered persuading Dakota.

Dakota was unlike others who had been victimized and deceived. After all, she didn't replace her experiences painful. In fact, she might have even found joy in them. Given this, Isabella would never interfere with someone else's fate. She didn't even bother to speculate about Dakota's thoughts. At most, she would vent to others.

Upon hearing this, Alexander found himself even more puzzled. He couldn't figure out how that bracelet ended up in Dakota's possession.

Isabella had a fondness for gossip. Alexander thought she might appreciate him sharing a discovery with her, and he figured she would probably replace it interesting to hear.

When they were together, it couldn't always be Isabella, who did all the talking. He, too, had to try to make some changes.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw someone approaching from the end of the hallway.

When Roland emerged, he saw the two of them in the corridor, walking toward him. They were side by side, their heads close together, whispering intimately

Alexander raised an eyebrow, appearing to react as if he heard something intriguing. Isabella, on the other hand, was all excited, her face full of curiosity and anticipation. Confused, Roland rubbed his eyes. Although I've seen them together before, there's a surreal feeling about this. moment.
