"Maya! You look gorgeous today, congratulations!" Ella Turner, seeing Maya Spencer, spread her arms wide and gave her a big hug.
"Thank you!" Maya Spencer graciously accepted the blessings, completely forgetting that this was all a farce.
"Sweetie, happy engagement." Christopher Scott said, handing over his gift and asking for a hug.
On the side, Liam Spencer, seeing Christopher trying to hug Maya, immediately reached out to push him away, keeping him distant from Maya.
"Petty." Christopher rolled his eyes at someone, displeased.
After a while, the two finished greeting the guests and headed backstage.
Though it was just an engagement party, it was still grand, with a ceremony taking place.
In the lounge, Ella Turner stayed by Maya's side, comforting her and reassuring her not to be nervous.
Three years ago, Maya wouldn't have been nervous. But now, she inexplicably felt anxious, fearing that any mistake might affect the quality of the banquet.
