Shadow had seen Hazel deal with Xavier before, so she had gotten used to it.
When she saw Arthur standing next to “Alpha Dominic” and greeted him as “Alpha Foster” with a smile, Shadow looked at Alpha Kilian and asked, “Why are you also here?” The word “also” meant that she had met someone else before.
Shadow didn’t have many friends, especially friends who could come to Golden Fountain.
Alpha Kilian’s eyes lit up. He walked over to Shadow, towering over her. “Why didn’t you tell me you were having dinner with your friends at Golden Fountain?”
Shadow looked puzzled. “What does this have to do with you?”
Xavier didn’t get angry when Hazel kicked him. He even smiled and said, “Have you guys eaten? You must still be hungry. Want to come with us and eat more? It’ll make more people happy.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“No need. We’re already full,” Shadow firmly declined.
Alpha Kilian rarely spoke to her nicely. “Let’s go together. We can go back together later.”
Shadow was actually quite soft-hearted. It was rare for him to speak to her so nicely, so she hesitated for a moment.
Taking advantage of her hesitation, Alpha Kilian pulled her to the private room.
Shadow wasn’t being unreasonable. She could always take his car when she went back, but it would be embarrassing to be dragged by him.
“Let go, I’ll go by myself.”
“Alpha Dominic” turned his head and looked at her. He didn’t say anything and let go of her.
Shadow turned to look at Hazel but Hazel followed along.
However, the look of enjoying the spectacle in her eyes gave Shadow a bad feeling.
Suddenly, she felt her phone vibrate.
She picked it up and saw that Hazel had sent her a message.
“Alpha Kilian’s cousin is so impressive and domineering! He’s also so handsome.”
“Maybe you should consider him. He’s handsome, fit, and wealthy! Think about it?”
Hazel didn’t reply to her message and just stared at her.
They finally reached the private room.
Alpha Kilian and the other two were here for a business dinner. Since Shadow and Hazel were there, they didn’t join the dinner. Instead, they ordered a simple meal in their own private room.
Shadow and Hazel had already eaten, so they ordered a fruit platter.
Dylan’s group had just finished their meal. When his assistant came in, she whispered in his ear, “I saw Young Master Lances come in earlier.”
Dylan stood up and headed outside. “I have to go say hello.”
As he reached the room’s door, he pushed it open and entered. He immediately spotted Alpha Kilian.
About to speak, he suddenly noticed Shadow.
Alpha Kilian hadn’t expected Dylan to be here. He glanced at Shadow discreetly. She was looking at her phone with Hazel.
Then, he turned his attention back to Dylan. He was the first to speak, “Movie King Dylan is here too?”
Shadow’s earlier words of “why are you also here” flashed through his mind, and his expression changed subtly.
Shadow heard his words and looked up abruptly. She saw Dylan at the door.
Dylan quickly reacted and smiled. “I heard Director Halls was here, so I came to greet him.”
Dylan was a contracted actor under the Nine Clouds. It wasn’t a secret, so it made sense for him to be there.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward. “Oh, yes, you’re here too.”
“Mmm, I have a friend waiting for me. I’ll go over first.” Before leaving, Dylan glanced at Alpha Kilian and Shadow as if he was uninterested.
Shadow felt like Dylan was looking at “Alpha Dominic”.
Alpha Kilian thought Dylan was looking at Shadow.
The two exchanged strange looks but quickly looked away.
“That was Dylan just now!” Hazel reacted a beat later. She pat Shadow fiercely and said, “Shadow, that was Dylan! Why didn’t you go up and take a photo with him?”
Xavier immediately chimed in, smiling. “Shadow, if you want to take a photo with Dylan, you can find me at the company.”
As the saying goes, to win over a woman, start by winning over her friends. Shadow was Hazel’s good friend.
When Alpha Kilian heard this, he coldly glanced at Xavier. “Can’t you keep your mouth shut while eating?”
Xavier wore an inexplicable expression. Did he say something wrong?
Why did Alpha Kilian seem angry? He was so happy when Shadow spent his money earlier!
He was trying to please Shadow! Shouldn’t Alpha Kilian be grateful?
The harmonious atmosphere turned strange because of Dylan’s sudden appearance.
Shadow felt a little strange even after they left Golden Fountain.
On their way back, Shadow asked “Alpha Dominic”, “Do you know Dylan too?”
Otherwise, why would Dylan look at him before leaving?
Alpha Kilian was irritated by the question. He responded coldly, “What does it have to do with you?”
What kind of temper was that? She asked a question, and he didn’t want to answer. Couldn’t he just say so? Did he have to be so hurtful?
Under the same roof, she had hoped to build a good relationship with him!
When they arrived home, Shadow didn’t say another word to him.
As soon as she entered, she found a bodyguard and asked, “Is your young master at home?”
The bodyguard was ready to say that the young master was already asleep.
Shadow nodded and went upstairs.
She thought for a moment and sent a text message to Alpha Kilian: “I had dinner with Hazel tonight and just came back. Good night.”
Alpha Kilian entered his room with a cold expression and received Shadow’s message.
She even reported to him? She was getting better at appeasing people.
Although he thought that in his mind, his tense expression from the whole night couldn’t help but relax.
His long finger slid across the screen as he replied to Shadow with a simple “Okay.”
Just as he sent the message, Dylan called.
Alpha Kilian stared at the phone for a couple of seconds before answering the call.
Dylan’s voice was as gentle as ever. “Alpha Kilian?”
In his memory, Dylan had always been Dylan, a well-tempered big brother.
However, Shadow didn’t hold back and greeted him with “Big brother greets Shadow.”
