Narissa's cheeks flushed as she smiled awkwardly. "Yes, best friends. After all, you're so weak that it's impossible for me to like you.” She took a big gulp out of her glass, as if she was also trying to swallow her guilt.

That day, Madeline felt like having dumplings, so the family and the guests broadcasted the process of making dumplings in front of the cameras at the

Griffith Residence. Elise was the most professional and was in charge of kneading the dough while Alexander helped her out.

Brendan was handling the stuffing, and Tara was standing beside and watching over him. To prevent them from spending too much time together and eventually falling in love, Madeline deliberately dragged Yuri along to pick vegetables, and they did this next to the duo.

“Mr. Brendan, have you had any inspiration yet for the evening dress you wanted to design for me? Why don't I go to your room to look at the draft later?" Tara was being very proactive.

“Sure,” Brendan answered calmly. "The draft is in the study. You can look at it anytime.”

Hearing that, Madeline rolled her eyes. "I'll go too”

Just then, the director shouted again, "The second guest has arrived. Let’s welcome Christopher Edwards!"

Madeline had seen the program schedule in advance and knew that the guest was a man, so she did not have much expectations. She merely followed everyone's gaze and looked at him. Christopher looked to be thirty. He was dressed properly in a button down and he was a magnetic man, especially when he spoke. He had a mature and alluring voice.

"Good afternoon. I'm Christopher, an interior designer. I look forward to spending time with all of you these few days, and more importantly, I hope I have the honor to be Yuri's friend.”

Obviously, he came for Yuri.

After introducing himself and having a brief exchange with the Griffith Family, Christopher sat down at Yuri's table. He and Yuri hit it off right away, talking about everything and anything from clothing design to interior design. Poor Madeline did not even find a chance to interrupt them. She was just like a humanoid stand, or to be exact, an angry humanoid stand,

The way Christopher looked at Yuri, with that blatant admiration and pampering gaze, almost blinded her!
