Ethan was making his way toward Lily when he noticed her speaking with a man. From his position, he couldn’t make out the man’s face, but he initially brushed it off, assuming it was someone congratulating her on her performance.

However, a fleeting thought of Pedro crossed his mind, stirring a hint of unease. Deciding to follow his instinct, he resumed walking toward his wife. Just as he neared, the man abruptly turned and walked away. Despite Ethan’s efforts to get a glimpse, the stranger’s face remained obscured. Suspicion gnawed at him, but before he could approach Lily, a crowd of reporters swarmed her, and he decided to step back for the time being.

The media was abuzz with excitement, eager to interview the star of the evening. Cameras flashed as questions were fired in rapid succession, their praise for Lily’s acting and her film evident in their enthusiasm.

“Miss Lily, your performance on the big screen was phenomenal! Can you share with us what movie you’ll be working on next?” one reporter asked, his tone brimming with curiosity.

Lily offered a gracious smile, her voice steady and confident. “Thank you so much for your kind words. As of now, I haven’t signed any new projects, but I promise there will be news soon.”

Another reporter stepped forward, his question taking a personal turn. “In a recent interview, you mentioned that you’re in a relationship. Can you tell us more about him?”

At this, Lily’s cheeks turned a soft shade of pink. Her eyes instinctively scanned the crowd, searching for a familiar face, though she couldn’t spot him. Still, she knew he was watching her. With a warm smile, she replied, “What can I say? He’s the most wonderful man in the world, and I feel incredibly lucky to have him in my life.”

The reporters buzzed with curiosity, and another, more assertive one, pressed further. “Who is he, Miss Lily? When will you introduce him to your fans and the public? Don’t you think it’s your responsibility to share this with your fans? They’ve supported you and deserve to know, don’t you think?”

Lily’s eyes flickered briefly toward the speaker. His tone was sharp and challenging, but she remained poised. Flashing a serene yet pointed smile, she replied, “Responsibility is a strong word. I know my fans love me and stand by me no matter what. I trust they’ll support me in my choices. When the time is right, I’ll be more than happy to share that part of my life with them.”
