Hearing this, Karina paused and examined her shoulder.

“Where? Is it dirty?"

She had chosen to wear a white chiffon blouse and loose black trousers for the day, a combination that lent her a tall and fashionable appearance.

“Hold still. Let me take a look."

The actor approached and scrutinized her collar.

He was still in college; tall, fair-skinned, handsome, and exuding an air of innocence.

“What is it?"

“I can't exactly say. Might be dust.”

The actor proceeded to brush her collar clean and adjusted her attire.

Outside, Barlow was heading to a separate private room with his associates.

His gaze unintentionally fell on the pair, causing him to halt when he saw their closeness.

At that moment, the male artist had just finished tidying Karina's outfit, and in return, Karina was adjusting his. Their interaction seemed so friendly that she complimented him on his handsome looks.

To Barlow, they resembled a young couple basking in their affection for each other.

After assisting the actor with his attire, Karina stepped outside.

She was met with Barlow's intense gaze.

Her smile faltered, then she quickly averted her eyes and moved ahead.

“Mr. Tucker, what's holding your attention? Aren't we going in?" an associate asked him.

“You go on ahead. I*Ll catch up in a moment.”

Once his associate entered the private room, Barlow spun on his heel and pursued Karina.

“Karina.”

Barlow caught hold of Karina's hand and queried, "Who's that man?"

Karina was taken aback by his inquiry.
