Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3590

Phoebe immediately replied, "You misunderstand. Warren did pursue me, but I never agreed. We're strictly colleagues, so there's no need for you to intercede."

She hadn't seen Warren for the past few days either, and she still wasn't entirely sure how Quentin had managed to track down the fact that they bought the trending topics.

For now, she didn't want Nocturne getting tangled up in it.

Nocturne nodded and didn't press further.

During their meal, Phoebe chatted with Nocturne about manga from a reader's perspective. She was gentle and considerate, offering unique insights. They hit it off quite well, and Nocturne was nowhere near as aloof as he had been at the start.

Phoebe, in turn, found herself idolizing Nocturne even more.

After they finished eating, Phoebe paid the bill in advance. Nocturne felt a bit guilty. "How could I let a lady pay for the meal?"

Phoebe smiled sweetly. "Then you can treat me next time!"

Nocturne smiled faintly. "Sure, if we get the chance."

Phoebe's face flushed. "As long as you're treating, I'll definitely be there."

Nocturne glanced at her. "I should be going."

"Goodbye!"

Watching his retreating figure, Phoebe was already looking forward to their next meeting.

On Saturday morning, Carson took Marina back to his family's home. They stayed until late afternoon before Marina headed back to the Evert residence.

As soon as she walked through the door, she saw Grandma Evert and Charlotte looking over the promotional brochure for the art exhibition.

Rhiannon immediately called out to Marina, "Marina, come here! It's your favorite master manga artist, William Thorne."

Marina sat down on the sofa, and Grandma Evert smiled. "I heard tickets for the comic exhibition are being scalped at ridiculous prices. Some sections are completely sold out. Thank goodness we have Phoebe; she's an insider at the gallery."
