Nikki raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. “Yup. I’ve got a boyfriend, and he’s the one who made me a big star.”

“A boyfriend? Nikki, you’re dating someone? How come we never heard about this boyfriend of yours before?” Hailey exclaimed, eyes wide.

Nikki’s smile grew even sweeter. “My boyfriend is handsome, rich, and spoils me endlessly. He loves me so much.”

Celine’s clear eyes lingered on Nikki’s face for a moment. After a pause, she replied, “Nikki, congratulations.”

“Celine, thank you. I’ll get going now. Let’s catch up sometime soon, okay?”

With that, she turned and walked away, her entourage quickly falling into step behind her.
