Ryan mused, "Do you know Serena Sawyer?"
Maya Monroe shook her head, honestly saying, "No, I don't know her."
Ryan thought for a moment, "Makes sense, Serena Sawyer is quite independent in the circle and carries herself with an air of pride."
Serena Sawyer looked away, casually asking the assistant next to her, "Who was the female artist standing with Ryan over there? She seemed a bit familiar."
The assistant replied, "The one next to Ryan? That's Maya Monroe."
Serena Sawyer softly repeated the name, then smiled, "The beautiful little girl with the godlike looks?"
The assistant couldn't quite grasp Serena Sawyer's thoughts; typically, Serena Sawyer wouldn't call someone so endearingly. He could only reply, "That's her."
"She is indeed quite beautiful..." Serena Sawyer's eyes sparkled with amusement, "She really got under Madeline Underwood's skin a while ago, quite interesting."
