Counterback of the Despised Luna

Chapter 5 He’s My Fiance

Finished

The rest of the photo shoot went smoothly, much to the disappointment of those gossipy hens.

None of the things they had hoped for came to pass.

Ryan complained about his clothes being ugly, but when I said they looked good, he didn’t dare argue.

Ryan couldn’t resist nitpicking about the shoot, but one glance from me was enough to make him fall silent.

Even after three years, he was still so easily intimidated by me. And I’d never even laid a finger on him!

What was supposed to be a five–hour shoot ended up taking just two hours, all thanks to Ryan’s cooperation.

Afterward, Ryan grabbed my hand and wouldn’t let go. “Rosie! Let’s go, I’m treating you to dinner!”

“No, thank you. I haven’t finished work yet,” I politely declined.

There were still some company employees nearby. It would be awkward to be so friendly with him, especially since he was such a big client.

“My Moon Goddess! Mr. Lindsay invited Rosaline to dinner and she actually turned him down!” one of them whispered.

“Wow, who is Rosaline actually? She’s not only pretty but so impressive! Are you sure she’s from the countryside?”

“If Ryan invited me, I’d cat with him even if I had to strike!”

The annoying whispers started to creep into my ears. I quickly asked Freya to reduce the amplification of my hearing. At last, it was peaceful again.
