NovelEnglishWinona felt a mix of emotions seeing him like this. She knew Richard didn't want to end things but dared not speculate why. She was afraid that
Richard might be with her just for...
With this in mind, she summoned her courage, stepped closer, and boldly hooked her arm around his neck. "Do you like me, Rick?"
"Of course,” Richard replied with a steady gaze.
Strangely, Winona didn't feel happy when she heard that response, so she made a bolder request. "Then kiss me."
They had been dating for three months, and Richard had shown little desire for physical intimacy, which made her unhappy. She had been in
relationships before and knew she was attractive—men couldn't resist being more physically affectionate with her.

But Richard behaved like a true gentleman, showing no signs of desire in his eyes. It was only now that he made a move.
However, it was a step back.
"I think it's a bit too soon.”
Winona found this explanation somewhat far-fetched. She refused to believe it, and she looked hurt. "Tellthe truth, Rick. Why did you get together
with me?"
Seeing Richard step back, it felt like her heart was breaking. But now she was almost sure that Richard didn't like her.
"Don't overthink it. That was just an additional request. If you're not comfortable with it, | won't bring it up again." Richard stepped forward and hugged
her.
His hug was gentle but distant, leaving Winona with a bittersweet feeling. It felt like the first tRichard had initiated a hug.
"I'm sorry."
Those words completely melted Winona's heart. "Don't be. | know | was being stubborn and doubting your feelings. It won't happen again. You can
trust me, and I'll also help with your request.”
How could she watch Richard, usually so confident, apologize to her?
"You're amazing, Winnie." His hug tightened.
"Don't worry, Rick. I'll treat you well from now on.” Winona smiled, her eyes narrowing, lost in his hug.

Three days later, the advertisement officially began shooting.
Winona and Estrella were both late on the first day.
As for Esther, she had family matters to attend to and was helping at the law firm, so Pearl gave her the day off and rescheduled her part for later
shooting.
After a while, Pearl was notified that Winona had taken a day off due to period cramps.
Now, only Rosalie and Estrella remained on set. This was also Pearl's first tmeeting Estrella after that incident.
Estrella was different from what Pearl expected and didn't quite match her photos. In the photos, Estrella always had an aloof and indifferent
demeanor. Pearl didn't expect her to be such a gentle young lady.
Estrella appeared to be around eighteen, with a cold yet youthful look. When she smiled, it felt like a mannequin coming to life.
