Chapter 9 Officially

• Amidst the buzz in Hollywood, people speculated and wondered if the news about LA's playboy being in a serious relationship was true. The comments were divided between those who believed it was a marketing ploy for the recently released film and those who didn't buy into any of it.
• Everyone at the event was outdoors, with the backdrop of the fading Santa Monica coastline. It was beautiful when the sunset cast an orange hue, contrasting with the light and dark shades of blue in the sky, creating a soothing ambiance.
• That's where everyone was, unaware that the two most talked-about guests in all of LA were arriving at the event. Personally, Sophia didn't want to go, especially not by Christian's side. Not only were they the topic of conversation, but they would also be photographed together, questioned about their relationship, and subjected to gossip. She didn't want to deal with all of that on the same day when, on the pier not far away, Chris surprised her with that encounter and that unexpected embrace that still stirred her up and occupied her thoughts.
