Chapter 779

It wasn't even four o'clock yet, but the guests had already begun to arrive in droves. Sherilyn arrived early, and with Blake and Caleb not yet in sight, she found a quiet corner to wait for them, sipping occasionally from a glass of water she held. "Is that Sherilyn?" came a voice unexpectedly.

Looking up, Sherilyn recognized Callie Robinson, who had been a dance instructor in her group back when Sherilyn worked at the TV station. Callie's face beamed with delight. "It really is you! I thought I might have been mistaken." "Hello, long time no see," Sherilyn replied with a polite, restrained smile. Mrs. Robinson wasn't the easiest person to deal with, so it was best to keep the conversation brief.

"Long time no see," Callie echoed, her eyebrows raising in surprise. "Why are you here alone? Aren't you with Gilbert?"

Sherilyn was taken aback. Was Gilbert here as well?

"Oh!"

Noticing Sherilyn's reaction, Callie speculated, "You didn't know he was coming? Did you arrive separately? Don't tell me..."

With exaggerated shock, Callie blurted out, "Did you guys break up?"

Their relationship had been publicly announced with much fanfare not long ago, but breakups were common, especially among the wealthy, where temptations and choices were abundant. Pressed by Callie's questioning, Sherilyn nodded, "Yes, we broke up."

"Ha!" Callie clapped her hands in excitement. "I knew it wouldn't last!"

Without wasting a moment, she exclaimed, "I'm going to find Gilbert right now!" She hurried off, then turned back to Sherilyn with a grin, "Thanks, Sherilyn!"
