At that moment, Sister Hua's heart finally sank for good.
She had thought that, as long as she handled it properly, her work dealing with Shen Muge's negative publicity during the awards ceremony would be done. Perhaps she could even bring some premium Korean liquor over tonight and celebrate with Yun Xiaoran and Shen Jin.
But now her best friend had dropped this enormous bombshell on her.
While Shen Jin and Yun Xiaoran were still out shopping, that scandalous photo had already landed on Sister Hua's computer.
Sister Hua did not even need to verify whether the photo was genuine, because those eyes were all too familiar.
Who else could it be but her hopelessly lovestruck best friend?
"Ring, ring..."
Meanwhile, she paced anxiously around her hotel room, her brow furrowed in helpless frustration.
Shen Jin was shopping with Yun Xiaoran when her phone rang. Only then did she realize that Sister Hua had already called her three times.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Jin was still puzzled. Hadn't they agreed that work would only begin tonight? Why was something coming up at noon? Still, she answered just in case.
After she tapped the answer button, Sister Hua, who had already composed herself, said calmly:
"Jin'er, were you just out shopping with Yun Xiaoran?"
"Yes. Why?"
Shen Jin was confused, but Sister Hua's words gave her a vague sense that something was wrong.
"Someone secretly took a photo of you shopping!"
"What?"
Shen Jin visibly froze when she heard that. But to keep Yun Xiaoran from noticing anything amiss, she forced down her agitation and said:
"What happened? How did someone manage to photograph us?"
Shen Jin thought rapidly, considering anyone who might have been suspicious.
But even after thinking it over for quite a while, she still could not recall anyone
