---- Chapter 8: Go Home Although there was guidance from the videographer, Shawn still took the entire afternoon to finish the shoot.

Seriously, did you even see me flirting with your boyfriend? You should stop jumping to conclusions without proof. Don't go around accusing people like a wild animal that is ready to attack anyone." Shawn didn't dare to offend me, so he hurriedly went to comfort Beatrice. "Dear, | just happened to bump into your sister. She works in this building, and it really hurts me that you would say something like that.
