Only then was she satisfied and praised him before sending him out the door.
As for… the buttons, well… he would never admit that he had unbuttoned them when he saw Moore Audrey at the stairway!
Thursday, the sky was clear and bright.
At around seven or eight o’clock, the perfect time for work and school, Taylor Callum had already been stuck at home for two or three hours.
The man was sitting on the sofa, troubled.
His manager, still fuming, pulled back the curtains slightly to check if the paparazzi outside had left.
Counting the number of people still lurking outside, the anger inside her flared up again. She tightened the curtains and turned to look at him.
“You’ve been quite impressive lately!”
Taylor Callum curled his lips, snorted twice, and casually replied, “Just average!”
Manager Lin: “…Hmph! How can you have no sense of being a star at all!”
After a pause, she calmly asked, “Where did you go last night?”
Taylor Callum felt guilty, retracting his crossed legs and avoiding her gaze. “I just… went to visit my old high school…”
The man seemed to have figured out his nature, looking at him intently. “Just went to the high school?”
His fingers twitched, turning his gaze back with a smirk that was half serious, half teasing. “What else?”
His rare gaze was somewhat aggressive.
Lin was momentarily taken aback, and then she didn’t pursue the matter further. “No matter how you play… just don’t forget your identity!”
Hearing this, the man curled his lips, scoffing lightly, and replied nonchalantly, “Got it…”
Then he mentioned adjusting his work schedule again.
The man didn’t pay much attention, but his phone suddenly vibrated in his hand. Upon seeing the message that popped up, he smirked.
After thinking for a moment, he typed a few words in reply.
His thoughts drifted back to the place he visited last night.
Jade had taken him around the campus when it was getting dark. The young girl was so full of energy, explaining everything to him enthusiastically.
In the end, she took him to the performance hall to watch a show. To enhance the stage effect, the main lights in the seating area were turned off.
Fortunately, there were a few guiding lights on the floor. To ensure his safety, the girl patiently accompanied him to sit at the back. After watching for a while, she remembered to let him leave early, in case someone recognized him and caused a commotion.
The entire itinerary had been planned quite well, but unexpectedly, they were recognized when they went out for a late-night snack. In a moment of panic, the girl went ahead to create a diversion for him.
Fortunately, it ended without incident, but someone in the circle couldn’t hold back and jumped in to take advantage of his trending topic.
What he didn’t expect was that this morning, a certain girl comforted him instead. For the first time, the man felt that… perhaps life needed to be taken a bit more seriously.

Meanwhile, Moore Audrey was yawning continuously at the back of the class. Although she had to participate in the track and field event around ten o’clock, she hadn’t slept well last night and felt completely exhausted.
However, as soon as the girl thought about why she hadn’t slept well last night, she felt a wave of shame wash over her.
It was mainly because she had watched Thompson Miguel too much during the art performance last night. Thinking of this, the girl frowned and felt troubled for a few minutes. It was all Thompson Miguel’s fault for looking so good!
Otherwise… how could she have dreamt about Thompson Miguel, wearing the same outfit from last night, smiling indulgently at her?
She had literally woken up laughing, no, it was her heart that had melted awake! Because… when Thompson Miguel smiled, she simply couldn’t handle it!
Lost in her thoughts, someone suddenly tapped her shoulder from behind.
Moore Audrey jolted back to reality, feeling a bit guilty for a moment.
But when she turned around and saw it was the class sports committee member reminding her to go to the athletics area for the competition, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. The girl took a deep breath and headed towards the shot put area.
The girl had a natural athletic ability, but strictly speaking, she was somewhat lacking. She hated running the most, and if she participated in competitions, she basically held onto the shot put and javelin.
The class placed great importance on everyone’s participation, requiring each person to take part in at least one event. Moore Audrey was clever and had been signing up for these two events every year.
When she arrived at the shot put area, the judges and relevant staff had already marked the boundary lines and started calling out the names of the participants.
Moore Audrey stood in line, initially quite calm. But as there were three people ahead of her, she began to feel a bit anxious.
Subconsciously, she looked around to ease her emotions. Just as she relaxed, it was her turn to enter.
The girl took a deep breath and entered. However, when she picked up the shot put and prepared to throw, her gaze suddenly landed on a certain face across from her, causing her heart to race.
She let go, and the shot put flew straight towards Judge No. 2, who hurriedly stepped back with a startled “Hey!”
Moore Audrey’s first attempt failed. Fortunately, she had three throws, so she still had two chances left. Moore Audrey told herself to stay steady.
