The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 182 Playing Along

"Hey, over here!"

"Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, can I get a few more shots over here?"

"Mrs. Smith, you look stunning! And Mr. Smith, you're looking sharp! You two are the perfect couple!" "And here, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, look this way..."

It was pretty unusual for Michael to show up at such a small event.

A lot of reporters didn't expect to get a chance to meet such a big name in the business world.

So, when they spotted Michael and Emily, they swarmed them, snapping pictures like crazy.

Luckily, Michael and Emily were eager to set the record straight, so they played along.

With all the camera flashes going off, the two of them stayed close together.

Michael even laced his fingers with Emily's, holding her hand tight.

That little gesture made Emily's cheeks turn pink, and she felt a jolt run up her arm, making her heart skip a beat. "Yes! Hold that pose!"

"Mrs. Smith, you look especially beautiful with that shy smile!"

As the photoshoot went on, it felt like a custom wedding shoot for the two of them.

What was supposed to be a business party quickly turned into a photo op for Michael and Emily.

The reporters turned into professional photographers, directing their poses and expressions, while the onlookers joined in the excitement and chatter.
