"Apologize?" Kaia asked, clearly taken aback.
Seeing her bewildered expression, Ms. Chen assumed the busy woman had simply forgotten. A mix of embarrassment and relief washed over her face as she offered a polite smile. "About the dinner the other night. I shouldn't have posted that photo to my social media feed. I wasn't thinking, and accidentally capturing Mr. Sanders in the frame caused a misunderstanding. I'm truly sorry."
Realization dawned on Kaia. She pulled out her phone and opened her messaging app. "Ms. Chen, I don't believe we have each other's contact information."
Ms. Chen froze in her tracks.
Kaia smiled lightly. "Since we don't have each other's numbers, I naturally had no idea what your apology was about."
Ms. Chen blinked a few times before hastily pulling up her own phone. She tapped on a profile picture and showed it to Kaia. "This account... isn't this yours?"
She knew that high-profile individuals like Kaia often maintained multiple accounts—some public, some private. She just wanted to confirm.
Kaia took one look at the screen, and her expression darkened. "That is not me."
Ms. Chen's face went pale. Her mouth dropped open, and she stood there speechless for a long moment before awkwardly stammering, "If it's not Mrs. Sanders, then... then who is it? Why would she send me such a bizarre message? It made me think it was you."
Kaia glanced at the phone again, reading the aggressive, reprimanding text Noelle had sent to the woman.
She lowered her head and took a slow sip of her herbal tea, her tone entirely detached. "Perhaps you should ask her yourself. It's not my place to say."
Ms. Chen's eyes widened in realization. She let out an awkward laugh. "Right, well, I won't bother you anymore then."
That profile picture belonged to Noelle. It seemed the woman had been so blinded by panic that she lost all reason, using her own photo while aggressively playing defense for someone else's marriage. Did she even have the right to do that?
Or perhaps, someone had explicitly given her that right. That would explain why she had the audacity to demand a deleted post with the authoritative tone of a reigning wife.
