"Why?" Serena asked, puzzled.
"That's not for you to worry about. Just tell me, are you willing or not?" "I'm willing!" Serena nodded eagerly, not wanting to miss out on such a valuable opportunity.
"Alright, I'll have Finn send it to you tomorrow." "Thank you," Serena said gratefully.

Serena paused, a moment of silence passing between them.
"By the way, there's something else I need to tell you." Serena straightened up, curious. "What is it?" "Next month, I'm heading to Alderburg again," William said, watching her closely.
In the warm glow of the lamp, Serena's cheeks were as flawless as porcelain, her eyes bright like stars, and her lips a vivid red, as if she had stepped out of an artist's painting. Yet, despite his news, there was no surprise on her face.
"You don't seem very thrilled aboutgoing to Alderburg," William noted, masking his discomfort with a casual tone.
"It's not that," Serena hesitated. She found it odd that he was making a point to tell her he was visiting Alderburg. Was it just small talk? "Of course, you're always welcin Alderburg. The last tyou were here, you didn't get a chance to enjoy it properly. This time, letbe your host," she offered.
The unease in William's heart dissipated. "Sure," he agreed.
After chatting a bit longer, Serena ended the call.
Rising from her seat, she went to her cabinet, fetched a fresh face mask, and had just put it on when her phone rang again. This time, it was Samuel.
"Samuel, calling this late-what's up?" "Well," Samuel began, "Joy wants to invite you to dinner on Saturday." "Dinner with me?" "Yeah, she just got paid from a part-tjob she started at school. She ctotoday specifically to set this up." Serena knew Samuel was stretching the truth but chose not to call him out. It seemed he was mediating between them, and the dinner was meant as an apology from Joy. It wasn't the perfect resolution, but it was acceptable. More importantly, it showed that Samuel was taking action, not just standing by. "Speaking of which, you know she got that job thanks to you," Samuel continued.

"Remember? After L.S. Entertainment started turning a profit, you toldto donate ten annually dollars m Alderburg University to create work-study positions. If it weren't for your generosity, Joy wouldn't have found work at the school."
Serena chuckled, realizing she had forgotten about this. Over the years, she'd engaged in numerous engaged in charitable acts, and this project was managed by Samuel, so it had slipped her mind. "I remember asking you to donate anonymously, right?" "Yes. All these years, Alderburg University never knew you were the donor," Samuel said with admiration.
