Marvin, with a slight raise of his eyebrows, said, “I guess I’m just talented.”

He kept to himself that he had learned to cook specifically for her.

As Sarah continued to enjoy the noodles, a thought struck her.

“I should have asked you to cook when you were staying at my place!”

The idea of Marvin, a distinguished young master, cooking was quite an amusing thought to her. Marvin, with his elbow resting on the back of his chair and a suggestive look, said, “It’s still possible now.”

“Hmm?”

Sarah, with a strand of noodle hanging from her mouth, looked up in confusion.

It took her a moment to catch on to what he was implying, and she quickly went back to her noodles, pretending not to have caught on to his suggestion.

The cozy atmosphere seemed to fade a bit.

Marvin casually twirled his fingertips, watching Sarah as if she was a challenge he was content to wait out.

He wasn’t in any hurry. He knew time was on his side.

Catherine was quickly cast out of the industry.

In just one day, from her first appearance on a talent show to her latest public events, every bit of her presence was wiped clean.

Netizens wondered who lost more. Was it Catherine or the TV drama “Peerless Grace“?

While halfway through shooting, the drama had to replace its scandal–hit male co–star.

And now, right before its release, the female co–star faced a scandal and needed replacement too!

Catherine’s role as the female co–star was meant to boost her profile.

To cut costs, the crew chose an actress with talent but no fame to redo Catherine’s scenes. For group shots they couldn’t reshoot, they used Al to swap faces.

Renee, a stylist, was called back to work on the new female co–star’s look.

The crew was really thankful for Renee’s help during this chaos, especially since Renee had become much more recognized in just a few months.

Renee exchanged friendly words, feeling a bit guilty.

Whether it was Herman or Catherine, she felt connected to their troubles!

With her schedule for “Workplace Dlary” looming, Renee had to hurry through her work on “Peerless Grace,” postponing her lectures at Bellbanks University till next month.

After a hectic few days, Rence finished all her tasks.

As she was leaving the “Peerless Grace” set, reporters crowded around her.

“Renee, what’s your relationship with Damian?”

“Renee, are you happy with “The Joy of Heart‘? Did you start the partnership with Gerardo?”

“Gerardo spoke very highly of the song. As its composer, do you think about joining the music business?”

Surrounded by cameras, microphones, and questions, it took Renee a moment to realize these were reporters.

“What song are you talking about?” She asked.

“The Joy of Heart“!”

In response, Renee massaged her forehead and took out her phone to look up “The Joy of Heart” that the reporters mentioned.

Released just two days prior, “The Joy of Heart” had soared to the top of various music charts overnight.

The song, a collaboration between Gerardo who produced and wrote it, and Damian who performed it, became an immediate success.

Damian, renowned for his work as an independent artist who often handles the production, writing, and performance of his music, explained his decision to collaborate with Gerardo simply. “It was the composer’s influence.”

The mention of the composer sparked everyone’s curiosity, leading to a quick search which revealed it was

Renee.

Once again, it was Renee.

Upon playing the song, Renee recognized the opening notes as the melody she had created for Jessica and then given to Gerardo.

It appeared Gerardo had given her credit for the work.

Had he misunderstood the concept of being “anonymous“?

“I never intended to break into the music scene,” Renee remarked with a sigh.

“Then…”

“Excuse me, I’m quite busy at the moment. Could you please clear the way? Thank you!”

Seeing they weren’t moving, Renee had no choice but to head back into the studio building to call security to block them while she made her escape.

She wasn’t a celebrity and didn’t have to deal with these reporters.

Just when the journalists started to sigh in disappointment, someone chimed in,

“Are you talking about ‘The Joy of Heart‘?” Akira, puzzled, asked. “I’ve heard a song just like this from an independent composer named ‘B‘ on an international site. Are you sure it’s originally Renee’s?”

Renee stopped her car, pulled out her phone to see what was going on.

As she expected, she was trending again, but this time the headline read, “Renee Not Doing Her Job!”

How was she not doing her job?

Why were people criticizing her?

Determined to face her critics, Renee clicked on the news and found comments about her. “Guess what? As a beautiful and professional stylist, Renee has great abilities in composing, playing many musical instruments, and dancing. Oh, don’t forget she won a gold medal at a math Olympiad at a young age, and now she has a master’s degree and has graduated earlier than her classmates. Every time I see a versatile talent like Renee, I will think that this world is just so unfair!”

“It’s like God liked her a lot, giving her many talents and no drawbacks!”

“We average people had better not compare ourselves with someone like Renee. It’s so embarrassing.”

“And that brings up the old question: Are the past versions of Renee the same as the current Renee?” Renee was at a loss for words.

She didn’t expect that she would be the trending topic.

But soon, she calmed down and didn’t care much anymore. She had gotten used to ignoring it. These topics would quickly be forgotten by people online if they didn’t keep talking about them.

Renee called Marcelo. “Have you left work yet?”

“Not yet.”

“When do you think you’ll be done? I’ve just wrapped up at work, and if you’re about to head out, I can come by and pick you up.”

Marcelo looked at the towering stack of papers on his desk and said firmly, “Give me five minutes.” Luke, who was waiting to get his documents approved, was at a loss for words.

“I’ll wait for you in the parking lot, then!”

Renee ended the call with a smile and headed towards the KM Group building.

It was her first time picking Marcelo up after work, and she felt a mix of novelty and excitement. “Sir, you said five minutes?” Luke had an inkling but hoped he was mistaken.

“I’ll be finishing work in five minutes.”

Luke found himself speechless again. He had guessed correctly.

Luke didn’t give up. “Sir, there are so many documents. Can you really finish them in five minutes? The product
