Abruptly halting the photo session, Bennett questioned, “Hey, what's going on?"

Projecting an image of innocence, Zaria responded, "I was just posing, have you taken a photo of it? Take this photo for me! I gave my idol a kiss! I plan to post it on Facebook!"

Without another word, Bennett approached and handed the phone back to Zaria, affirming, "Yes."

He guided Claudia away, pointing out, "She's exhausted from today. It's best not to bother her further."

Holding Claudia's hand, he led her in the direction of the hotel. Zaria remained there, rooted in surprise.

In a hurry, Zaria grabbed her phone back from Bennett, exclaiming, “We weren't done! What's the big deal with taking a few more photos? You're really mean!"

Yet, as she pondered over Bennett's words, she couldn't deny feeling apologetic towards Claudia, so she refrained from pursuing them further.

She opened the photo album and noticed that Bennett had only taken two pictures of her. Surprisingly, he hadn't captured the moment when she kissed Claudia!

She was infuriated! Bennett was totally an inconsiderate asshole!

Zaria was genuinely irritated. Coincidentally, she spotted Aurora and Amalia.

Having encountered Zaria a few times before, and being aware of her habit of showering Claudia with presents, Aurora recognized her.

Yet she couldn't quite grasp why Zaria looked so distressed, questioning, “Miss Santiago? You seem off, what happened?”

“Ugh, he pissed me off! I asked Bennett to take a picture of Cece and me, but the nasty man only took two photos! He didn‘t even capture the moment when I kissed Cece, and yet he lied to me, claiming he had taken the picture!"

Aurora couldn't contain her Laughter, apologizing, "I didn't intend to ‘laugh, sorry."

“Just go on and Laugh! Bennett is the real asshole here! He is so mean! I can't understand why Cece likes him!"

Quickly cooling off after her venting session, Zaria's spirits lifted. She turned her attention towards Aurora and then to Amalia, inquiring, “Who is this?"

Amalia then took the initiative to introduce herself. "I'm CC's assistant."

“Wow! Oh, you must have lots of pictures of Cece then?" Zaria shot Amalia a playful, suggestive wink, seemingly hinting at procuring some photos from her

Observing this exchange, Aurora felt somewhat relieved that Zaria was a woman. If she was a man, her behavior might have been considered rather creepy, right?

It was the first time that Claudia had been kissed by a woman.

As Bennett escorted her away, she still felt somewhat lost in her thoughts.

Once back at the hotel room, she realized that Bennett had been mute the entire journey.

Could it be that he was upset?

But what could have triggered this sudden change in his mood?
