CHAPTER 587: CHAPTER 587: BEING PURSUED

"Mhm." Adrian Walyon leaned against the car door with his arms crossed in front of him, quietly staring at her.

Summer Sutton was still wearing the gown she had on stage; due to the cold weather, she casually threw a coat over it.

She was wearing high heels, yet walked briskly. While approaching Adrian, she twisted her ankle several times in just that short distance.

Summer seemed to be in some pain, furrowing her brows and rubbing her ankle repeatedly.

Adrian walked over to her and picked her up, opened the car door, and placed her in the passenger seat.

"I wasn’t expecting to pass today. At the time, my thought was purely out of desperation, a ’let’s see how it goes’ mentality," Summer tightened her coat around herself, chatting about her backstage experience.

Adrian listened quietly from start to finish without interrupting.

His gaze remained on her, and as it fell on the white dress she wore, he recalled the moment she was on stage.

This was the first time Adrian saw Summer dressed in a wedding gown.

It was just a borrowed gown she grabbed on the fly, with casual makeup and hairstyle, and with no hint of embellishment.

Adrian watched her and suddenly thought of the day when she would wear a white veil for him; she would surely be even more beautiful than tonight, right?

As he thought about it, Adrian suddenly began to look forward to it...

By the time they returned to Morning Garden, it was already late.

That night, the program Summer Sutton produced continued to stir online.

Throughout the night, Twitter was filled with topics about her.

The spontaneous program Summer created surprisingly achieved an unexpected result.

With such a high level of buzz and clicks, Summer Sutton indisputably won first place in this intern production competition, and along with that, the rumor of her being Adrian Walyon’s wife spread across the internet overnight.

Lorraine Hughes saw the news the following day.

At breakfast, her assistant opened Twitter for her, and after seeing the trending topics, Lorraine remained speechless for quite a while...

...

The following day, when Summer Sutton went to the company, she found herself receiving quite a bit of attention from colleagues.

Everywhere she went, she’d receive people’s gazes.

Previously aloof colleagues suddenly became much more friendly, proactively offering her tea, helping her with tasks, and so on.

One colleague softly confirmed with her, "Summer, I heard you’re Adrian Walyon’s wife?"

Summer, engrossed in organizing documents, didn’t want to be overly scrutinized in the company in the future, and without much thinking, directly denied it, "No, it’s nothing like that, just a resemblance in looks. How could I have such good luck?"

"Really? I thought so; how could a student who hasn’t even graduated college hook up with Adrian Walyon?" With that, the colleague’s enthusiasm vanished, and she took back the coffee she’d already made for Summer and drank it herself.

Her attitude shifted faster than flipping a page, but Summer didn’t mind at all and continued her work.

The colleague who had sought confirmation, likely feeling a bit jealous, immediately posted the affirmation online after getting Summer’s reply.

By just midday, Summer’s identity transformed online into that of an unmarried college student.

Summer still didn’t care; how online speculation about her played out mattered little to her.

However, what she did not expect was that an unexpected event happened after work in the afternoon.

Summer received a date invitation via a call from a popular male artist in the company...
