Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Gilbert really wanted to hang out with Sherilyn, but he hadn't even showered yet, and he had a meeting in the morning that he just couldn't skip.

Finally managing to 'escape' from him, Sherilyn hurried towards the front door.

Muttering to herself as she walked, "What to do? Maybe I should ask Candida to handle it?"

Just as she was about to grab her phone, she felt a light tap on her shoulder.

"Sis."

Galen greeted her with a bright smile, "What's got you mumbling? You seem pretty rushed... Anything up?"

"Yeah," Sherilyn nodded, deciding to be honest. "A friend of mine is flying back to Sunhaven today. I promised I'd pick her up, but I overslept. Plus, I've got to rush to the set..." "Hmm..." Galen thought for a moment. "I can't help you with the filming, but how about I pick up your friend instead?"

"Well..."

That was actually a good idea.

Plus, Galen was her brother, and seemed more suitable than Candida for this task.

Sherilyn hesitated, "Do you have the time?"

"Of course," Galen nodded with a grin. "I might not be as busy as your fiancé, but I'm still a business owner. I don't have to clock in, you know."

Without much time to deliberate, Sherilyn nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you. Thanks a lot, Galen."

"Sis! How many times do I have to tell you?"

Galen feigned irritation, "No need to be formal with your own brother!"

"Right..." Sherilyn chuckled, "My bad."

...

Following Sherilyn's instructions, Galen headed to Sunhaven International Airport.

The person he was picking up was Joyce Cooper.

Joyce had just wrapped up her internship at UPenn and completed all her studies.

She had been in touch with Sherilyn a couple of days ago, and today was her return to Sunhaven.

So why was Sherilyn picking her up instead of her family?

Well, Joyce's family didn't approve of her returning to Sunhaven. They believed that with her impressive resume, she should stay in Crestwood for better opportunities. But Joyce had other ideas. She preferred returning home rather than staying abroad.

So, she decided to come back to Sunhaven without telling her family. Once she was settled in, her family would have no choice but to accept

it

At the VIP terminal exit, Joyce turned her phone on as soon as she disembarked and saw a message from Sherilyn.

"Hey, Joyce, I'm so sorry, something

came up, and I can't pick you up. But

don't worry, my brother is on his way. He's a great guy, so don't hesitate to ask him for anything you need. His name is Galen."

The message included a photo of Galen.

"Hmm?" Joyce raised an eyebrow, "He does look a bit like Sherilyn..."

Since Sherilyn was quite attractive, it was no surprise her brother was also good-looking.

Shortly after, her phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

Joyce figured it must be Sherilyn's brother.

She answered the call, "Hello?"

"Hi?"

It was Galen on the other end, "Ms. Cooper? I'm Galen, Sherilyn's brother. My sister..."

"I know," Joyce replied with a smile, "I got your sister's message."

"Great," Galen continued, "I just found out myself, so I didn't have time to prepare a sign. Where are you?"

Based on his description...

Joyce scanned the area and spotted someone fitting that description not too far ahead, facing away from her.

That must be him.

She clutched her phone and walked towards him, "I think I see you..."

"Really? Where are you?"

"Turn around and see?"

The tall figure promptly turned around.

Yes, it was definitely him.

Joyce smiled and waved her phone at him, "Hi there."
