84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkBdoY5dBN
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9mnHYaTxd
"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.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrgsZsOOAQ
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMxS8bbejG
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaoYjGi11v

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZCmuubOjo
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl0l28eJEW
After graduation, they went on their separate ways and didn't keep in touch, even on social media. Their lives had become more busy.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mR4LdOxWK
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNIs2X3Dis

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigvP9xXZpU
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.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnkQNgQCfg
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iXicG7XUG
"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?"
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFtQ68Rmhh
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5NsQGC8NM
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvxBC14NA4

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpfJHLThGd

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.

84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE0Yo4SnpI
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBR6Q2TLj1
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSIpOsWAXp
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.
