Chapter: 225
Her father, a journalist, had stood confidently before countless viewers, and she could do the same.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be with you,” Tyrone reassured her, holding her hand, reminiscent of a father bird concerned about his fledgling’s

The live streaming of the press conference was scheduled for 3 p.m. on September 5th.
They had two rehearsals planned for the morning.
Bright and early, Sabrina made it to the venue, she conferred with the staff, ensuring all preparations were accurate and
foolproof.
Additionally, she considered contingency plans for any mishaps.
“Ms. Chavez, Ms. Clifford is over there.” An assistant approached Sabrina.
Looking over at Galilea, positioned near the door, Sabrina instructed, “She needs to rehearse.”
Just then, Galilea approached Sabrina, extending a paper bag. “Sabrina, I brought you a cupcake from Afternoon Time. Got it
while passing Maplefield Square.”
Taken aback, Sabrina looked at the bag. She thought that Galilea was deliberately trying to provoke her.
“You’re also a fan of their cakes. I couldn’t possibly take it.”
“It’s a gift for you,” Galilea retorted.
Ignoring her, Sabrina turned to her assistant. “Take her to rehearse.”
The studio was teeming with people and other staff members. It was unfitting for Galilea to persist. She left Sabrina with one last
remark. “Sabrina, remember to eat the cupcake.”
As Galilea was led away for rehearsal by Sabrina’s assistant, she noticed Tyrone entering the studio. Waving to grab his
attention, she called, “Over here, Tyrone.”
Spotting them, Tyrone ambled over casually, throwing them a glance.
“What were you two discussing?”
“Nothing.”
“I got Sabrina her favorite cupcake on my way here.”
Sabrina and Galilea spoke simultaneously.
After a quick glance at Sabrina, Galilea bit her lip and said, “Sabrina, it’s just a gift. If it’s not to your liking, you needn’t accept it.”
Casting his eyes on the bag in Sabrina’s hand, Tyrone quipped, “Keep it. It’s just cupcake. A small gesture from Galilea.””
Galilea turned her gaze to Sabrina, anticipation in her eyes.
Galilea had already brought enough discomfort to Sabrina.
