Chapter 287 - Single (1/2)

”The food is here!” Danson's secretary announced as 2 vans arrived in the loading dock.

As soon as the people in the auditorium heard this, everyone, from the lighting director to the set designer headed towards the loading dock to grab their breakfast and the place quickly emptied out.

Everyone was hungry and overworked, so this food was a welcome arrival.

Sue waved at her artists and gestured for them to follow her. They were allowed to eat too, but she had to monitor them in case they overindulged.

As they started walking out, Emerson was left standing alone inside the auditorium. He was a diligent person, so he had already had breakfast. Plus, he had two dinners last night because he had to eat Avaleigh's salad for her, so he was really full. Chu glanced at the lonely man and gave Avaleigh a nudge and a wink, ”Hurry, go ask while no one is around.”

Mimi frowned when she heard this. It frustrated her to imagine her man being all alone with another woman. ”If you're not asking, then I'll ask!” she quickly intercepted as she started walking towards Emerson.

But, Chu immediately grabbed onto Mimi's arm to stop her, ”Ava lost, fair and square. She has to do it!”

Chu was the youngest in the group, but everyone always spoiled her and supported her, so Ray quickly agreed, ”Hurry, Ava, we all want to know the answer.”

Before Avaleigh or Mimi got the chance to refute, Chu began to hurry all the girls out, leaving Avaleigh behind, ”We'll wait for you outside!”

Avaleigh glanced at Emerson awkwardly and Emerson looked back at her with curiosity as her members left her in the empty auditorium with him. She looked like she had something to say to him, so he revealed a welcoming smile.

Avaleigh felt her heart flutter when she saw the man's smile. Why did he suddenly make her feel this way? Trying to ignore these feelings, she took a deep breath and approached him.

Avaleigh was in one of her stage outfits: a white crop top with pastel pink shorts, a feathery vest, and white knee-high boots. It was something that no one in their right mind would ever wear in public but looked really cute and stylish onstage.

Emerson looked at her outfit and was reminded of the first time they met and the clothes she wore that day. ”No wonder you're a fashion icon,” he couldn't help but comment.

Over the last couple of days, not only did he create a Weibo account to follow Avaleigh on social media, he also found himself searching her name online to learn a little more about her. Ever since he fell in love with Halia, he had never been fascinated by another woman like this. Was it simply because of work?

Avaleigh glanced at her own clothes and laughed, ”This was designed by our stylist. She's the genius behind-the-scenes, I can't take credit for it.”

Avaleigh felt a little embarrassed, but to her surprise, the man replied, ”The clothes may be well-designed, but not everyone has the body to pull it off...”

He then added, ”You should take care of your body and eat properly.” He was still annoyed by the fact that she hadn't had breakfast.

Avaleigh was slightly moved by the man's concern.
