Chapter 61 Stop Shipping Random Couples
At 3.00PM, the production team announced that there would be three hours of recreation time- which would be live–streamed.
Abigail had been racking her brains for a way to get closer to Sean, and her eyes lit up
the moment she heard the announcement. Under Luna’s eager anticipation, she changed into a loose white T- shirt and a run–of–the–mill pair of bleached skinny jeans that framed her long and slender legs.
Still, such an outfit was very unattractive in the eyes of a fashion designer. “Is that it? I thought you were going to pull out all the stops to sweep Kevin off his feet.” Luna’s eyes popped out in incredulity at her aesthetic sense today.
Who cares about Kevin? I’m here to court Sean! thought Abigail inwardly.
Upon arriving at the banquet hall, she immediately spotted Sean sitting next to Kevin, his eyes impassive. He seemed uninterested in the tea party.
On the other hand, Kevin’s eyes lit up at the sight of Abigail. He whispered to Sean, “You were gone
for an hour after lunch. Did you go looking for her after finally realizing that you’ve got something
to say to her?”
“Shut up.” Sean pushed his face away in disgust, his eyes quietly scanning Abigail’s attire.
Kevin let out a stifled laugh. Then, he stood up, beckoning to Abigail and Luna in a friendly manner like a big boss. He said, “Miss Smith, come over and have a seat here.”
Luna dragged Abigail along, fearing that Joan would get the jump on them and take up the seat
before they could.
Kevin gave up
his seat to Luna, showing none of the steadiness befitting the head of the production team. He said animatedly, “You two sit on the right; I’ll sit to the left of Mr. Graham. Don’t be shy, both of you. Today’s afternoon tea party is all about relaxation and fun, so please make yourselves
at home.”
Even though not everyone had arrived in the banquet hall, all eyes of those present were fixed on Luna. They envied her for the preferential treatment she received from Kevin.
Luna and Abigail exchanged a brief look before they made a dramatic show of pushing and nudging to offer the seat to each other. Then, seeing that it was enough, Luna forcefully seated Abigail–who pretended to be shy and reserved–next to Sean, saying, “Don’t be afraid. Mr.
Abigail nodded, appearing extremely meek and obedient.
Kevin struggled to contain his laughter, feeling like he might burst out laughing at any moment. He raised his hand and pinched his chin with all his might, trying to keep himself from breaking into laughter. His shoulders trembled slightly, as if he were having an epileptic seizure.
Sean kicked him in the leg, upon which he immediately drew a quiet breath before sitting up with a straight face. “This is Mr. Graham, whom I’m sure all of you have long heard of. He
look stern,
but he’s an amiable person, actually. Miss Smith, who has worked with him, understands this best.”
Luna eagerly chimed in, “Yeah, that’s right.”
All the designers present called out in unison, “Good afternoon, Mr. Graham.”

Abigail felt that Kevin’s words were an indirect way of justifying the seating arrangements. Naturally, a major investor like Sean wouldn’t want to be seated with people he didn’t know well. Since Luna had worked with him before, her sitting next to him would be the most appropriate.
She surmised that Kevin’s seat was probably intended for Joan, who had yet to arrive.
