Meanwhile in Sydney:

"I am so excited for this contest!!" Ruel said, while jumping around in his studio. "Michelle, are there any good entries?"

"Naaa. I mean, they are good, but I sorta expected some better pictures." Michelle said, while scrolling on her laptop.

"Oh." Ruel said, with his head hung low. The real reason he was excited for it was because there was a slight chance he may have a member close to his age on his team.

"Oh Ruel. Don't worry. Someone good will come in." Michelle said encouragingly.

"Yeah I hope." He sat down with Michelle on the sofa.

Suddenly Michelle's phone dinged with a notification.  She opened her phone to view it.

"Oh, Nate's calling me outside. I'll be back in sometime. In the meantime, see if any good entry pops up." Michelle said while getting up from the sofa.

"Yeah okay." Ruel said nonchalantly. He pulled out his phone and started scrolling through his socials. Suddenly, Michelle's laptop dinged signaling there was a new entry. At first Ruel decided to ignore it and continue on with viewing his socials, but then curiosity got the best of him, which made him drop his phone on the couch and picking up the laptop and putting it on his lap. After accessing the new post, his mouth hung open.

"Oh wowwww." Ruel said, not able to take in what he just saw.

"No way." Ruel, who was still unable to take in this picture, gasped out. But, the fact that the picture is taken by someone his age made him more excited. Knowing that there is a big possibility Michelle will love this picture, he got excited as it opened up the door to Ruel having an age mate who will also be his team mate. Even though it was only a 2 week internship, he was hoping for a strong friendship with the intern.

Ruel quickly dropped a message to Michelle telling her about this breathtaking post.

Five minutes passed,
No reply from her.

Ten minutes passed,
Still no reply.

Fifteen minutes passed,
And the only notifications Ruel is getting are his family and friends' group chats. But no message from Michelle.

Ruel started to get impatient, so he went out where Michelle and Nate were having their conversation. Just as he was about to turn the corner to talk to the both of them, he stopped just before turning. The whisper like conversation between his manager and photographer made him stop right in his tracks.

"I told you Nate. I told you." Michelle said, while rubbing her forehead with her thumb and forefingers.

"Michelle, he deserves to be happy." Nate tried to reason with Michelle.
