85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOsYeVTIaB

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaYizFgIiB
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXgbFkQmuT
"Same here," Arianne replied with a smile. She couldn't believe that they were already friends before. Arianne wondered if there had been a romantic relationship her cousin and Denzel.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ej54xaUUe
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl6SRmmdts
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUgk5F0Fre

After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWFK1tOECy
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfpUXEWeVL

The girl couldn't believe of what she heard. They had talked before about their goals and priorities in life. She couldn't believe that her friend had pursued his passion for music. There had been many changes between them since they graduated from college.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMduwAQuOfG
"I realized I love music, so I still want to pursue it even though that wasn't my major in college. Music is life for me," Denzel explained again. "This is also the way I will express my thoughts and feelings for something. What about you? Are you here just to update about your favorite celebrities?"
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNO4V7W8U8
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUcTgFOmRZ

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQWSWQfAxm
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwCY1YPWsD
After a few moments, her personal bodyguard, Gabriel, entered the room. She didn't pay attention to him and continued gathering information from the book she was reading until Gabriel was the one who initiated the conversation.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp8CxwWEm6
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetoSjVmA0d
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu0IerqVeZ
There was annoyance in Katherine's voice as Gabriel kept asking her personal questions. She had to hold back because she didn't want her grandfather to scold her.

85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwLvOqcAXB
85Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EbNGRplPv
