Chapter 2488

In the photo, it's Sophia and Connor, caught in a cozy chat at the coffee shop right across from the studio, where Connor slides a card across the table to her.

Another picture captures Connor waving goodbye with a wide grin, as if he'd accomplished what he came for.

Sophia tries to call Connor, but after two attempts with no answer, her phone rings. It's her assistant, Tina.
