Chapter 1189:
The photographer looked at them and said seriously, “Marcel, Elva, let’s begin. It’s just a publicity shoot, so don’t be nervous. Be natural p>
He said that mainly for Elva, since it was her first time taking publicity photos. Fortunately, she was naturally good at performing, which helped make up for her lack of experience.
With a sweet smile, Elva slipped her hand through Marcel’s arm and held him close.
“Good. Change your pose,” the photographer said after the first set. He nodded, satisfied with how intimate they looked.
After a brief pause, Elva rose onto her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around Marcel’s neck.
Marcel hadn’t expected that. Instinctively, he stiffened and started to pull back.
Noticing it, Elva lowered her voice and said softly, “Marcel, it was the photographer who asked me to pose like this p>
Hearing her, Marcel relaxed a little and allowed her to hold him.
“Alright, that’s a wrap for today,” the photographer said after the second round of shots. He looked extremely satisfied, unable to stop staring at the photos.
As soon as the company’s higher-ups approved the release, the promotions department posted the publicity photos on Facebook. The images—Marcel looking cold and striking, Elva young and beautiful, the two posed intimately—immediately drew massive attention.
People couldn’t stop talking about them. In no time, multiple hashtags popped up.
The hashtag “Lead Actor and Actress of Love You One More Time” shot straight to the top of the trending list.
Anika, resting at home, saw the post when she opened Facebook. The photos made her chest tighten. Elva’s arm linked with Marcel’s, her hands around his neck—it all looked far more intimate than an ordinary publicity shoot.
Katie saw it too. A pleased smile spread across her face. “Elva is very expressive. It’s her first publicity shoot, yet she did a wonderful job p>

Then she glanced sideways at Anika.
“Elva is young and beautiful,” Katie praised loudly. “She has a bright future in the industry. She can definitely help Marcel’s career p>
Anika’s face dimmed. She lowered her head without a word, unable to look away from Marcel’s photo on her phone.
“Mrs. Brooks, my stomach hurts,” Anika said quietly, forcing an excuse. “I’m going upstairs to lie down p>
Katie knew Anika was upset, and she was secretly pleased.
Back in her room, Anika’s sadness didn’t ease at all. She called Annabel.
When the line connected, Anika’s voice came out low and strained. “Anna… Marcel and Elva just did a photo shoot together, and the internet is going crazy about them. They’re calling them a perfect match p>
Annabel had already seen the reposts and tags about the photos, so she replied calmly, “I saw them too. But I don’t think Marcel did anything wrong. That girl was the one trying to get too close to him p>
As a woman, Annabel could tell at a glance that Elva had ulterior motives.
