Isabella simply couldn't resist her curiosity. She did a little digging on the gossip surrounding Maverick and

Danielle.

At that moment, another sound echoed from the doorway.

Maverick and Mirabelle separated almost instantly, like a flash of lightning. Mirabelle hastily wiped her mouth,

while Maverick's face turned ashen, as if he couldn't comprehend what he had just done. "What are you guys

doing here? Maverick, this is the ladies’ restroom!"

An unmistakable voice of displeasure rang out. It belonged to Danielle, who had limped her way over.

Danielle, dressed in a professional suit, her sleek short hair framing her pale skin and light-

colored lips, exuded the image of a capable and strong woman with her striking beauty. However, as her gaze

swept over the two individuals, her expression turned obscure and unreadable.

Maverick remained silent, wearing a sullen expression, as if he couldn't be bothered to explain.

"Oh my, what brings you all here?" Hendrick's surprised voice rang out as he entered. Tall, handsome, and

radiant, he resembled an eighteen-year-old college athlete, slightly larger than Maverick, truly living up to his

title as the campus heartthrob. Hendrick's voice, filled with concern, was heard. "Mira, why are you crying?"

Now, the battlefield is set. Isabella watched with great enthusiasm.

Alexander thought, "So we're seriously having a meeting in the restroom?"

"I-I'm fine, it's just a misunderstanding." Mirabelle began, "I accidentally fell, and | suppose Mr. Sutton heard the

commotion and cin to help me." She carefully glanced at Maverick as she spoke.

Meanwhile, Maverick was staring intently as Hendrick tenderly pulled Mirabelle into his arms. He gently inquired

what was going on and even affectionately kissed. her forehead after.

Maverick's gaze was filled with a murderous intent, but it was disrupted by Danielle, who walked over and gave

him a slight tug, bringing him back to reality.

Wow, spectacular.

"All right, this isn't the place to talk. Let's move," Danielle said, seemingly nursing a bit of a headache as she

furrowed her brows. "Right, right, let's head out and continue discussing the performance and proposal,"

Hendrick said, guiding Mirabelle toward the exit. Maverick coolly replied, "Is that so? Maybe you should ask Ms.

Diaz first, she doesn't seem too keen."

Mirabelle trembled.

Danielle was taken aback, looking at Maverick with suspicion. Could it be that Maverick knew how Mirabelle

would respond?

True. After all, they had just kissed.

Hendrick looked at Mirabelle in his arms, his voice gentle as he said, "Mira, being a supporting actress is also an

opportunity for you, you should know that. And didn't you say you'd be willing to marry me? | can propose to you

in front of a national audience, wouldn't that be Maverick's gaze shifted, his eyes darkening as they lingered on

Mirabelle.

Mirabelle hung her head low, embodying the image of someone too timid to look up, brimming with a sense of

injustice and seemingly unwilling to speak.

Hendrick's eyes flickered. "Well, since you're not-"

"I'm willing." Mirabelle immediately said, her voice however, lacked the crispness and decisiveness, almost as if

it was a helpless act. Only after she finished speaking did she lift her head, casting a resentful glance at

Maverick.

"Fantastic, | knew it!" Hendrick exclaimed joyfully. He looked up at Maverick, only to find him with a grim

expression. His eyes were unblinkingly fixed on Mirabelle, like a predator zeroing in on its prey.

"Maverick, there's no problem now, right?"

Maverick retorted icily, "Hmph, Hendrick, don't push your luck. This isn't your solo show, we're a team, merely

partners. I'm not your stepping stone."

Danielle breathed a sigh of relief, at least Maverick didn't get all confused when it cto matters involving

Mirabelle.

"You're right, Mr. Yost. Whether it's your girlfriend making a guest appearance or a marriage proposal, it's all

about your show, your popularity. In this scenario, Maverick seems to be just a supporting cast in your play,

which isn't right. Even if the company insists, we will firm With a helpless expression, Hendrick said, | really

didn't intend to steal your limelight. Both Maverick and | are currently in a critical period of transition. If we don't

seize this opportunity, it will be difficult for us to progress in the future. Given the high popularity of the A- listers,

if we don't stir things up a bit, I'm afraid. we'll be thoroughly overshadowed, with no chance to stand out."

He was indeed right.

However, Danielle's greatest concern was the potential discovery of Maverick's past, relationships. If such

information were to surface, it would be advantageous for Hendrick, but detrimental for Maverick.

Danielle was no fool. She knew she had to stand firm and reject such proposals, ensuring the benefits of the

artist were protected.

This was typically a matter of business, usually decided

by Danielle. However, before Danielle could speak, Maverick suddenly changed his tone. "Proposing is out of the

question. | can agree to play a supporting role, but in return, | would need to do something to balance the

attention. Mirabelle suddenly turned to Maverick as if she had been stung.

Maverick almost provocatively stared at Mirabelle.

Hendrick genuinely asked, "What's the matter? We can discuss anything."

Suddenly, Maverick turned his head, casting a tender gaze toward Danielle.

Danielle was taken aback, instinctively stepping back, only to find herself encircled by Maverick's arms, pulled

into his embrace.

"Actually, I've been planning to propose to Dani soon." Maverick confessed, his

eyes filled with tender affection. "If | can use the stage, I'd love for us to receive blessings from audiences

nationwide."

However, Danielle's face darkened. She opened her mouth but hesitated to speak. In the end, she chose to

remain silent.

Danielle must be cursing quite vulgarly.

Alexander thought, "Doesn't Danielle like Maverick?"

"Are you two together? No wonder everyone says you're so upright and avoid. publicity. Maybe there's been

someone by your side all along, just completely. under the radar." Hendrick's tone finally faltered, even releasing

Mirabelle from his embrace. It seemed as though Danielle could no longer hold back, saying, "Regarding this

matter, we haven't had a discussion yet. How about we talk it over first?"

Hendrick quickly regained his composure, pulling Mirabelle to leave as if intending to clear up sspace for

others.

As soon as the door closed behind them, Danielle pushed Maverick away. "Have you lost your mind? What are

you babbling about?"

A wave of daze washed over M
