She crossed her fingers, hoping the photographs would turn out well.
Miss Chavez, youre too humble. I dont just take anyones recommendation, Peterson said, still smiling. Ive looked at your work and believe in your talent. Thats why I approached you.
Hearing this, the model felt relieved.
Ah, I understand. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Peterson. Ill make sure to live up to it, Sabrina responded with renewed determination.
Im eager to see what youll bring to the table, Peterson said, beaming.
So, what brought you back? Werent you enjoying your time in Philade?
Blayze reclined in his chair, resting an elbow on its back in a relaxed manner.
Sabrina offered a smile and teased, Cant you see the reason why Ive returned?
Tyrone had sought Sabrina out in Philade after his victory amid his clash with the Evans family. Blayze, part of the Evans family, was undoubtedly privy to this.
With a thoughtful frown, Blayze inquired, So, have you and Tyrone made up?

It had taken Blayze a while to catch on that Tyrones breakup with Sabrina was a ruse, simply staged for the Evans family. The moment Tyrone won, he rushed off to reunite with Sabrina.
Kind of, Sabrina replied vaguely.

Glancing at Peterson and the model nearby, Blayze couldnt help but ask, Now that youre here, why didnt you reach out to me for a catch-up dinner? Will you leave Violetholt after finishing your work without meeting me for some chitchat if I dont make the first move?
How could I? Sabrina responded, a bit taken aback. I only got here today. I was planning to contact you after settling down from work. Feeling a pang of guilt, Sabrina avoided eye contact.
Peterson observed the exchange, sensing the depth of their connection.
As the meal began and the waiter presented two bottles of wine, Sabrina stopped him. Could I have a bottle of juice instead?
Once the waiter departed, she explained to Blayze and Peterson, Ive been dealing with a stomachache lately and prefer to avoid alcohol. Juice will do for me tonight.
Health comes first, Peterson remarked, smiling.
They enjoyed a nice meal. At one point, Peterson took a call and mentioned he needed to leave early for an urgent matter.
Not long after, the model suggested she should leave as well.
That left only Sabrina and Blayze in the room.
Blayze, having shared a few drinks with Peterson, had a glazed look in his eyes and his cheeks were flushed.
Blayze, should we head back? Sabrina asked as she reached for her bag on the table.
Suddenly, Blayze caught her wrist. His grip was warm, and the veins on his hand stood out sharply.
