Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 1377

Chris said with a smile, "Pammy, even though it's just a silk scarf, it's not at all cheap! And as Arya just said, the significance of the gift lies in the sentiment behind it!"

"Of course, I know!" Lina held Lena's hand and smiled at Arya. "Arya, thank you. I've heard from Lenny that it was you who bought the studio and put the sales under her name." "Just a small effort," Arya said softly. "This is Lenny's first sale. It's a promising start and will only improve in the future!"

Lina raised a glass as a toast. "Here's to your studio thriving!"

Speaking of the studio, Arya wrinkled her brows and sighed lightly.

"What's the matter?"

"Oh, the deadline for the second volume is approaching, but I've been running low on inspiration lately. No matter how I draw the main characters, I can't get them to look the way I want." Toph looked at her. "Is the publishing house pressuring you a lot?"

"Yeah..."

Just as Arya was speaking, her phone rang. She went outside to answer it and talked for a while before returning, looking slightly overwhelmed.

"It's alright." Chris chuckled. "Let Toph draw for you, free labor!"

Upon hearing that, Arya's eyes suddenly lit up.

Not because she heard the offer of free labor but because she suddenly realized something.

"Hey, Chris!" Arya yelled, "Don't move from there! Yes... Lena, don't move either!

"I just realized that you two standing together gives off a comic character vibe!

"Hold on..."

Arya hastily rummaged through her bag. She developed a habit over the years to carry a sketchbook and pencils everywhere. Finding a suitable angle, she sat down and started sketching the characters. Toph stood behind her, watching intently.

Arya had a deep foundation in drawing, so she had managed to outline the basic features quickly. With some refinement, the two characters greeted them back on paper.

At a glance, it was also obvious she had drawn them based on Chris and Lena!

Zuko and Lina praised her, but Toph pointed out a few places with a frown.

Arya had tried modifying those spots several times, but she could not get them right no matter what.

Toph was getting impatient. "Just tear me a piece of paper!"

Arya hurriedly complied, handing him both paper and pencil.

Toph drew fast, probably because he had been drawing since elementary school. His grasp of character expressions was quite accurate, and his drawing was on par with Arya's. If one did not look closely, one might even think the same person drew it.

The room was quiet, with only the sounds of pencils scratching on paper.

Before long, Toph smiled, handing over a sketch of the same male and female leads from a different angle.

Arya examined it closely. Not only did Toph capture the essence well, but he also perfected the areas she struggled with earlier.

The two of them exchanged a smile and worked together to merge the two sketches onto a single page.

"Wow!" Even the usually composed Chris could not help but exclaim upon seeing the drawing. "This... This is just..."

"Really good at drawing, right?" Toph raised an eyebrow. "Well, Lena already has a good foundation. It's like drawing from a template. As for you... I really had to work hard to make you look this handsome! Sigh, I'm a million-dollar photo retouching editor, after all! Hahaha!"

"Chris gestured as if he was going to punch him. "Honestly, though, it's my first time modeling!"

Arya giggled. "You have a good build-almost perfect proportions and long legs. It's a waste you aren't a comic character! Heh, but it's not like you can't model in real life anyway!

"Pammy, the Thompson Group started from Sol Entertainment, right? Get him a job so he doesn't start balding too early!"

Laughter erupted from the living room.

Chris protested, "Arya! Stop it! I still have hair!"

Once he said that, the others laughed even more.

Zuko and Toph each hooked an arm around Chris, their laughter quite loud.

"That's right, that's right!" Toph looked at Arya. "Save him some pride in front of Lena! Besides, where did you get the idea that he's balding?"

"Exactly!" Zuko smirked. "He not only has a lot of hair on his head, but there's also..."

As he spoke, he looked downward.

Chris suddenly realized what they were implying and chased after the brothers, filling the living room with youthful vigor.

Zephyr and Cordelia watched them from a distance, sharing a smile.
