The first rays of dawn spill over the Lumina Square beach, painting the sky in hues of amber and rose. The salty breeze carries the promise of a new day as Zhu Yuan leans against the stone railing, her casual blouse and fitted jeans a stark contrast to her usual N.E.P.S. uniform. She checks her phone, a rare smile touching her lips, when suddenly arms wrap around her from behind. Instinct takes over—a swift, practiced motion sends the stranger crashing onto the concrete. She freezes, recognizing the familiar face. "Oh my gosh, Manager?! Are you my meet-up?" she breathes, her voice caught between shock and hope.
