Jude asked him, “Your place? No way the garage could flood—it's the most upscale neighborhood in all of Rivercrest City.”
Seth replied coolly, “I stayed at my family’s house last night.”
“Oh, that explains why you didn’t show up with Bianca this morning.”
Once Seth had taken his seat, the press conference officially began.
Bianca and Aetheria’s founder, Ethan Laurent, took the stage one after the other, showcasing the game from every angle—its unique features, the stellar numbers from the closed beta, and glowing reviews.
During the Q&A, the reporters started with questions about the game. But as things went on, someone veered off topic and brought up Bianca’s personal life.
“Director Lowell, I just spotted Mr. Harcourt from Aurelion Group out in the audience. You two seem very close—rumor has it a wedding is on the horizon. Is that true?”
Bianca looked every bit the picture of a woman in love, her eyes crinkling with happiness as she replied, “Let me clarify: it’s not just a rumor. It’s true.”
A wave of delighted murmurs swept through the room.
The reporter pressed on, “So, Director Lowell, after you and Mr. Harcourt are engaged, do you plan to step back and become a full-time wife?”
Bianca smiled and smoothly passed the question to Seth. “You’ll have to ask Mr. Harcourt himself—does he want me as his partner at work, or a wife at home?”
All eyes, and every camera, turned to Seth—even Jude looked curious about how he’d answer.
Seth’s gaze softened as he looked at Bianca before replying, his expression tender.
“She’s so remarkable. How could I bear to keep her trapped at home? Even after we’re married, she’ll always have her own wings—her own world to soar in.”
The room erupted in a chorus of admiration, everyone moved by Seth’s sincerity.
After the interview wrapped up, Bianca headed to the dressing room to touch up her makeup. Her phone buzzed—it was Yvonne calling.
Yvonne asked, “How’d it go? Did my reporter do alright?”
