Aveline fell silent, realizing there was no way to resist the combined efforts of Sidney and Selena. She nodded reluctantly. "Alright, tomorrow it is." Sidney's face lit up with joy, his eyes sparkling like stars, making it hard for anyone not to soften toward him.

As the sky darkened and the last traces of orange faded, the lights in the neighborhood flickered on, and the sounds of laughter echoed in the distance.

Selena suddenly remarked, "Why do I feel like we're a family of three right now?"

Aveline shot her a blank look before turning to Sidney. "She's always like this-don't mind her."

Sidney's face softened with a smile. "I think her personality is charming."

Selena immediately puffed up with pride. "Did you hear that? Did you hear what he said? And you still want to ignore me? Admit it-you don't love me anymore!" Aveline was speechless.

She quickly changed the topic. "By the way, have you encountered any challenges at work recently? I noticed that Maria hasn't been taking you out to meetings as much."

At the mention of Maria, a flicker of discomfort crossed Sidney's face. He shook his head and replied, "No, I've been spending most of my time in the office drafting plans. I've sent a few initial drafts to clients and am waiting for their feedback. But there's one client request that I didn't fully understand."
