There was a large banquet hall in the basement of the building. It was already decorated with white curtains, a chandelier was hanging from up above, and there was a big TV showing the couple's most intimate moments.

"Wow, I never thought we had this such large building! It's so amazing!" Jessica said, very surprised.

"Oh my God, this is so beautiful!" Chloe said.

"Well, let's come on in!"

"Oh, what the hell is this?" Sara asked, stunned by what she saw a moment ago. "H-hey, isn't this Anderson?"

"I can't believe it! It....it...it's...him," Elysse stuttered. "Oh my God! It really is him!"

The whole squad was shocked. Everyone from the network was there, including the president of news gathering, Peter Ashton. Wolf was also there, so are Alex Mitchell, Haylee Thompson, Amanda Chapman, Brianna "Brie" Potter, Sabrina Lee, Valerie Gutierrez, Dorothy Harris and many more. The people who they are friends with.

"Now, let's introduce the most prominent group here in WLAC, the WLAC Squad!"

Everyone clapped, and Candice entered the room.

"Please welcome, the British Babe, Candice Foreman!"

Candice was wearing a green sleeveless dress and a blazer, walked down the red carpet and sat in the leftmost chair, and then Sara entered the hall.

"Here's the Slayer of the Studio, please welcome, Sara Olivia Simpson!"

And Sara entered the room. She was in a bright red long-sleeve dress. She was sexy for her age, which surprised everyone. She sat beside Candice.

"And now, please welcome the Loyal Lady of Lousiana, Jessica Washington!"

Woah, that...hey, I do have a home in Lafayette. And loyal? Seriously? Well, I've been like that to them, she thought. She was wearing a brown 3/4-sleeved dress, and sat on the rightmost chair.

"Please give it up for the New Girl in Town, Elysse Athena Smith!"

She was radiating in a nude-black dress, and black pumps. She sat beside Jessica.

"Let's put our hands together for the Classy Beauty, Chloe Alexandra O'Hara!"

Chloe drew cheers from the crowd, wearing a simple beige dress. She sat beside Sara.

"And now, please give it up for our Lovely Londoner, Victoria Anne Carter!"

Vicky wore a violet dress, and sat beside Elysse.

"Please welcome our Clever Cameraman, Michael Cleveland!"

Michael was wearing an all-black tux. He sat beside Sara.

"We welcome the Epic Eavesdropper of the squad, Samantha Lynn McConnell!"

Lynn, once again, had her cheeks blushing. That was true, after all.

"And now, we introduce to you, the husband and wife-to-be, the Playful Princess and the Peaceful Prince, Rachel Christie Adams and Anderson Hays Cooper!"

They all stood and clapped for them, especially the squad sitting in front, who cheered for them.

"H-hey, Anderson...isn't this embarrassing?" she murmured.

"Well, yeah, I think it is, but let's enjoy this moment for now," he replied, putting his arms over Rachel's shoulder.

"Yeah, it really just feels like yesterday," Rachel said, putting her arms on Anderson's back.

"I don't want this night to end," Anderson muttered. "Being here with you, it's just...heaven."

"Me too, Anderson. I wish this will last forever," Rachel said, kissing him on the lips, which drew high-pitched cheers from everyone.

"Well, we are all here now, so let's kick this off with a beautiful message from Peter Ashton, the president of news gathering for WLAC."

An unfamiliar face went up on stage, but to Rachel he seemed familiar.

"Hey, I know this man!" she exclaimed. Anderson tried to calm her down as soon as possible. To her frustration, she left the hall.
