Sarah had been eagerly anticipating Ariana's arrival, standing at the doorstep. Upon spotting Ariana, she darted over, arms wide open for an enthusiastic embrace.

However, mindful of her pregnancy, she abruptly halted before reaching Ariana, resulting in a humorous flailing of arms mid-air.

Ariana, witnessing this spectacle, was seized by a fit of laughter. The mirth worked wonders, as it dissipated her stress, injecting a fresh wave of positivity into her.

Her Laughter brought a sense of relief to Sarah, who responded with an even wider grin. Brimming with enthusiasm, she took Ariana's arm and started the tour of their potential studio.

The villa, a colossal six-story structure, boasted a garden abundant with blossoming flowers. It emanated a serenity far more gratifying than the towering commercial structures.

As they explored the villa, both were visibly pleased with the premises.

Sarah continuously spoke about their future plans.

She elaborated extensively, extending an invitation to Ariana to join them. They required an experienced agent like her.

Ariana was touched. Yet she declined, stating, "I can't join you at present."

"Why?" Sarah's voice held a hint of disappointment as she clasped Ariana's hand. Unwilling to give up, she continued in a cajoling tone, “Both Tyler and I rely on you. We would be lost without you. With your assistance, our studio can flourish and attain recognition in the entertainment world!"

Sarah patted her chest, her voice laced with confidence.

Witnessing Sarah's joyous demeanor, Ariana hesitated to dampen her spirits. While she was keen to join them, she had a myriad of commitments to attend to first.

Furthermore, the ongoing upheaval at Anderson Group restricted her availability.

Observing Ariana's reticence, Sarah lowered her voice to ask, "Your reluctance to join us stems from Theodore?"

“That's partly correct. The main reason is my pregnancy." Ariana confessed with a sigh.

“Don't fret about that. You won't need to work until post-delivery,”

Sarah assured her, continuing, "You can bring your child to the studio.

If it's a girl, I'll buy her a lovely dress. Oh, and if it's a boy, I'll also purchase dashing clothes for him. Plus, I'LL happily be the godmother."

Sarah's enthusiastic plans, however, seemed to deepen Ariana's despondence.

Despite being generally oblivious, Sarah noticed the change in Ariana's demeanor. A thought struck her, Leading her to ask in disbelief, "You haven't informed Theodore about your pregnancy, have you?"
