"Good job, everyone! That was a huge success!"
After the monthly segment was over, Johnson gathered all related personnel in a large hall at Biozone Hotel for a party.
"Even though an unexpected thing happened, I am glad that everything went well. I extend my deepest thank you to today's host, Evelyn Rees. Please give her applause!"
He gestured his hand toward a beautiful lady in a white dress. She waved her hand shyly, getting all the applause.
"Thank you very much. But I only did my job and nothing more than that. It also went great because our guests today are such great speakers."
"I do agree with that." The production team leader nodded in agreement. "That's why, please give them applause. Our guests for tonight! Breeze and Flexy."
Everyone's attention turned to two young men in the corner, standing around the table. Max showed a friendly smile as he thanked them.

And Flexy, with a red cheek after getting what he deserved from his secretary who stood next to him, smiled wryly.
Lisa forced both of them to apologize to Evelyn for getting her embarrassed on the stage. That was why their relationship with the host wasn't strained. Besides, according to Evelyn, she got many job offers just after the monthly segment was finished, thanks to that. It was slightly humiliating but worth it.
The only one who got no repercussions for what he did was Max. He didn't act like a cat or dog and wasn't slapped by his girlfriend or a secretary because he had none. In short, it was an extra win for him.
'I am glad that I am single.' He thought after seeing Flexy slapped by Lisa when he exited the capsule.
Ignoring his inner problem, Johnson continued to greet and thank everyone who worked hard for tonight's monthly segment. Tomorrow would be a new month, and he also hoped everyone would work hard for the next monthly segment.
Meanwhile, Max enjoyed the dish laid on the table next to him. Eating dishes cooked by a high-class chef was rare, so he'd like to make his time worth it. And that was by enjoying the meat and seafood.
Just as he enjoyed a large lobster on his plate, he felt someone poked on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Evelyn.
"May I help you with something?" He asked politely, mainly because he was younger and a junior compared to her.
"Fufufu, yes." The beautiful host slash singer responded with a giggle, "I do need your help with something."
When he heard that, there was something on the back of his mind that said he should escape right now or he would regret it. He immediately looked around. If he would regret this, he planned to get Flexy's attention to drag him into this.
However, the orange-haired streamer had left with his secretary to nowhere. He was gone. It seemed like Lisa's instinct was far sharper than his. She probably felt trouble had arrived and dragged her boss away.
She only wanted a simple thing, but what she got was only a dog Flexy and Catvelyn. When she thought about Max playing around translating Evelyn's meows, she felt a pang in her heart, and a pout formed on her face.
And just now, there was a video that showed up in Strike. She somehow got a notification from Max's Strike account. When she clicked the notification, she noticed it had a short video attached to the status.
[I was forced into it!]
It showed the previous host, Evelyn, and him standing side by side. For some reason, Max was wearing black cat ears and had a slightly embarrassed expression.
"Now, Breeze. It's revenge!" The beautiful host said as she kept smiling at the camera.
With that word, his expression worsened. He certainly didn't want to be in this video, Lily realized. However, he still did what the host asked him to.
"Meow." A soft voice escaped his lips, full of feelings of humiliation and embarrassment.
Lily stopped the video and repeated the part where he meowed. She got what she wanted—a cute Max meowing clip. However, she didn't feel satisfied. Instead, the pang in her heart hurt more.
'Even I can be that cute. No, I am cuter than her.' She thought. 'He just needs to ask if he wants me to wear cat ears and we can do it together. Why is he with that woman?'
In terms of confidence, nobody would beat Lily. She was good at everything, whether it was academic, athletic, or even art.
And lately, she was confused by something. For some reason, she couldn't help but think about Max. It had been a few days since they met. The last time was when they reviewed videos together.
Since then, she would always think of him every night, without a doubt. Whenever they exchanged messages, she wanted to meet him. She knew he was busy, and so she was. Their schedules didn't match for the last few days.
'Why do I feel like this, I wonder?'
An innocent girl. That was Lily.
Kept inside the house until adulthood left her to be ignorant of the warm feeling she felt inside her heart whenever she thought about him.
However, she had someone she trusted to ask about this kind of question.
Looking at the ceiling, she brought up a messaging app. She scrolled to find the name of someone she trusted at times like this, her upperclassman when she was in high school. They often got together due to the nature of her job. In fact, her love of bunnies also originated from that said friend.
This was the only idea she had in mind. If she couldn't find the answer herself, she would ask someone who probably knew about it.
[Lily: Ferin, I have a question.]
