Chapter 285 - Pina Colada (2/2)

Jackson smiled and immediately agreed as he lifted her out of the pool, wrapped her lovingly in a towel and dragged her excitedly back inside...

Over in Hong Kong, the girls in Macaron had just started their rehearsal and were familiarizing themselves with the stage and position of the lights. The lights were so bright that the girls could barely see the faces of the people below the stage, including their manager, Sue, who was cheering them on.

While they were focused on the lights, three figures approached Sue and greeted her with a friendly smile.

”Is everything running to schedule?” Danson's secretary asked as she looked at Sue.

The interpreter beside her quickly translated what she said in Korean and Sue nodded her head. She then said something and the interpreter translated back, ”She said the girls are working hard to please their fans and she wants to thank the two of you for coming.”

Mimi quickly ran towards the stairs and started running off the stage towards the man. But, Emerson turned his head upwards and focused his gaze on one particular person.

Avaleigh looked down at the handsome man and their eyes met. All of a sudden, she felt her heart begin to race...
