Because Hazel is coming back, Shadow was in a really good mood all day.
There were a lot of things happening at work, so Jessica didn’t find any fault with her.
Before she finished work, she called Frank and told him not to come pick her up. She invited a friend to dinner.
After leaving the Eden Group, Shadow remembered that she still needed to cook for “Alpha Dominic”.
She stood on the side of the road and took out her phone to call “Alpha Dominic”.
He answered the phone after just one ring.
“What do you want?” Alpha Dominic’s voice was a bit low, but it sounded even more charming over the phone.
Shadow was used to his voice and she shook her head slightly. “Are you coming home for dinner tonight?”
He asked, “Where else would I eat?”
Shadow explained happily, “I invited a friend to dinner tonight.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end and Alpha Dominic’s voice came through with an inexplicable coldness. “You have a date with Henry?”
Shadow’s mouth twitched. This guy was just crazy.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I asked a friend who is a girl to meet him!” Shadow gritted her teeth. “Even though I promised to cook for you, I’m not a house servant. I have my own friends and acquaintances too.”
Alpha Dominic’s attitude suddenly became much more relaxed. He said lightly, “Alright, go ahead.”
After hanging up the phone, Alpha Kilian looked at Xavier. His tone was indifferent. “Did you say there’s dinner tonight?”
“Aren’t you not going?” Xavier looked at him in surprise. Alpha Kilian rarely went to dinner.
Arthur knew everything. “Because his wife isn’t home tonight.”
“You talk too much.” Alpha Kilian glanced at Arthur. He turned around and left quietly.
…
When Shadow took a taxi to Golden Fountain, she didn’t see Hazel.
She was about to pick up her phone and call Hazel when a heavily armed woman approached her.
Shadow tentatively asked, “Hazel?”
Hazel pushed her sunglasses back a bit and looked around nervously. “It’s me.”
After saying that, she pulled Shadow towards the entrance and asked as they walked, “Can you get in?”
Hazel knew that Golden Fountain was one of the best high-end clubs in the Herton Pack and they were very strict about who could enter.
Shadow nodded. “I can get in. I’ve eaten here before.”
The two of them had already reached the entrance. When the doorman saw Shadow, he shouted “Welcome” to her loudly. They were very welcoming.
After entering, Hazel took off her sunglasses and removed the scarf that covered half of her face. She carefully looked Shadow up and down. “I just came back from filming a scene. Did you transform yourself completely?”
Hazel and Shadow had known each other for many years, but most of the time, Shadow had an “ugly” appearance and Hazel was used to it.
The last time she saw Shadow on the film set, she had already returned to her original appearance. But now, after some time had passed, Shadow’s temperament seemed to have improved a bit.
The two of them got into the elevator and Shadow took a picture of the elevator wall. “No, I’m still the same as before.”
Hazel stood beside her and suddenly said, “Why don’t you come and act as well? You might become more famous than me.”
“The entertainment industry is messy and there’s a lot of drama. I don’t want to get involved,” Shadow replied.
They found a seat and placed their orders.
Shadow got up to go to the restroom.
After washing her hands, she came out and walked with her head down. She was a bit absent-minded and accidentally bumped into someone at the corner.
She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry.”
The man was tall and didn’t say anything for a while.
Curiously, Shadow looked up and saw Dylan’s friendly face.
He smiled and gave off a refreshing vibe. He called her by her name, “Shadow.”
Shadow was a bit overwhelmed. “Are you here for dinner too?”
Herton Pack was a big place, so she never expected to run into Dylan twice in such a short time.
“Yes, I have a friend to meet here,” Dylan nodded. Then he suddenly asked, “How have you been?”
He had seen the news about Shadow and Alpha Kilian.
He didn’t know how many distant cousins Alpha Kilian had, but there was only one close cousin, and that was his brother, Alpha Dominic.
His mother was Alpha Kilian’s aunt, so his last name was different from Alpha Kilian’s. His brother took their mother’s last name.
But his brother was only fourteen years old and he lived abroad with their mother.
“I’m doing well,” Shadow replied, not understanding why Dylan was asking.
She always felt like Dylan knew her from before.
“That’s good,” Dylan said with a smile, but didn’t say anything else.
When Shadow returned to the restaurant and sat back down, Hazel showed her phone to her. “Shadow, I just saw on Movie King Dylan’s Weibo. Do you think this place is Golden Fountain?”
Shadow looked down and saw that the picture in Dylan’s latest Weibo post was clearly taken in Golden Fountain.
But that wasn’t surprising because she just saw him outside.
Seeing Shadow’s calm expression, Hazel patted her shoulder. “Aren’t you excited at all? If you go out for a walk right now, you might even run into Movie King Dylan.”
“Well,” Shadow paused, afraid that Hazel wouldn’t believe her, so she tried to sound serious. “I actually ran into Dylan twice. The first time was when I went to the restroom.”
Hazel’s mouth dropped open in disbelief.
Not far away, Dylan purposely walked around the hall to take a look. He happened to see where Shadow was sitting. The woman sitting across from her seemed to be a minor star who acted with him last time.
Alpha Kilian and his group arrived at Golden Fountain. As soon as they stepped into the elevator, he received a notification on his phone.
Shadow used his card?
Xavier saw the message on Alpha Kilian’s phone and saw the faint smile on his face. A chill ran down Xavier’s spine. “You’re crazy. She spent your money and you’re still so happy.”
Alpha Kilian looked up at him and said casually, “If Shadow is willing to spend my money, what about Hazel spending yours?”
Xavier felt a pang in his heart. It hurt.
Alpha Kilian looked at the bill and thought for a moment. Then he smiled.
Xavier felt that Alpha Kilian’s smile was filled with malice.
The elevator doors opened.
Alpha Kilian looked up and saw Shadow standing outside the elevator.
Shadow also saw him and exclaimed, “Why are you here too?”
Did they all plan to come to Golden Fountain today? They all seemed to be rushing here one by one.
When Xavier saw Hazel, his eyes lit up and he squeezed his way over. The tall man looked as excited as a puppy. “Hazel!”
Hazel glanced at him and kicked him.
