Her hair was neatly tied up, and her face was calm, though her eyes betrayed nervousness.
The others turned to look at her. For a moment, silence filled the hallway. Then soft chuckles broke out.
Olivia, always quick with her tongue, grinned. "Wow, you look so beautiful that even if you hired male models to walk beside you, they'd end up paying you instead."
Mary blinked, caught off guard by the teasing. A faint flush colored her cheeks.
Adam, however, frowned. His face darkened as he turned sharply toward Olivia. "Don't say things like that."
Olivia raised her brows, her lips curving into a mischievous smile. "What? Are you jealous?"
Adam rolled his eyes, his voice stiff with irritation. "I'll make sure to file a complaint against any male model who even tries."
The hallway erupted in soft laughter. Even Aurora's lips curved faintly, though she said nothing.
