It was just the two of them, Ranita and Brendon.


    Ranita felt uneasy at the time, like a deer caught in headlights. She couldn’t bring herself to look at him and could only lower her head to eat. She ate a lot, but it felt like she was eating without really tasting anything.


    On the way home, Brendon suddenly asked her if she liked the food at Bright Moon. Ranita nervously squeezed her fingers and replied that she did.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    After that, they asionally went to Bright Moon, but it was always for business meetings with their partners.


    Three years seemed like a long time, but it passed in the blink of an eye… Ranita never had the chance to have a meal alone with Brendon at Bright Moon again.


    When they arrived at the private room in Bright Moon, Brendon ordered some dishes they used to enjoy. The taste was good, but…


    Ranita nced at the man sitting across from her, but his mind seemed elsewhere as he ate.


    In the middle of the meal, she went to the restroom, and in the private room, Brendon had just finished reading an email when he noticed a new message pop up on Ranita’s phone.


    “Ranita, are you free this weekend? Do you want to bring Ayaan along for dinner?” It was from Makhi.


    Brendon’s narrow eyes instantly turned sharp and dark. He suppressed his emotions until Ranita returned.


    They exchanged casual words, avoiding any unpleasant topics.


    But both of them had their own thoughts throughout the meal.


    The online situation continued to be overshadowed. Apart from Shannon’s fans causing a ruckus, most people were just spectators.


    But Ranita was going to do a live interview and address the online rumors, which attracted a lot of attention. The interview was with Giovanna, someone they were familiar with. The questions were precise but not too many.


    Even if they chatted, it would probably only take about thirty minutes.


    “Ring ring!” Suddenly, her phone rang. It was Jedidiah calling. Ranita quickly answered and heard him say, “Ranita, are you busy?”


    “I have ten minutes.” Ranita paused and asked, “What’s wrong? Is something happening?”


    “It’s about Shannon’s termination. Chole intervened and joined forces with other shareholders, hoping that you would no longer be involved in Stnd Monolith Technology’s management affairs.”


    Jedidiah’s voice was filled with anger. “Chole has gone too far!”


    “How is the situation at thepany?” Ranita wasn’t worried about herself but about Stnd Monolith Technology. She didn’t want to cause trouble for them or the Bowman family.


    “I’m heading to Becgate to handle factory issues. It might take several days before I can return to Stnd.” Jedidiah paused and said, “Don’t worry about thepany. Nothing will happen. Our ovep with the Murphy family’s industry is not significant.”


    “And we’re here too, so nothing will happen.” Jedidiah sounded exhausted. “Ranita, I’m sorry.”


    “It’s okay! As long as thepany is fine!” Ranita went to Stnd Monolith Technology to help Benedict and Jedidiah, but now they didn’t need her anymore, and she had nothing more to say.


    Besides, Ranita still preferred her old profession.


    “Brother, don’t apologize! If anyone should apologize, it’s me for causing trouble for the Stuart family.” Ranita sighed inwardly. After hanging up the phone, she was informed that the current studio couldn’t be used anymore, and Giovanna left disappointedly.


    Because the live interview wasn’t broadcast truthfully, Shannon’s fans started demanding that Ranitae out and apologize, iming that she was guilty and too afraid to rify things through a live stream.


    Ranita once again found herself entangled in Shannon’s love life, and it became a hot topic once more.
