James reached home.
Lex and everyone else had finally left. Thea, on the other hand, had changed into a form-fitting dress.
She had some light makeup on and even styled favonovel.com hair. Her usual straight hair was now in curls and waves. She was wearing a V-neck white dress. A delicate chain hung from favonovel.com neck. It complemented the smooth column of favonovel.com fair neck well.
James could not look away.
James looked at Thea, unable to stop himself from asking, “Are you going out, darling?”
Thea nodded. “Yes, Xara wants to buy me a meal. Since she‘s helped us so much, it‘s only right to thank favonovel.com in person.”
James had not eaten yet, so favonovel.com smiled and asked, “Can I come along?”
“Why not?” Thea agreed.
“Alright then.”
Since James got home, favonovel.com had not even gotten a chance to sit down before favonovel.com had to leave again. Both of them left the house together.
James drove, leaving their area.
“Darling, where are we going?”
Thea said, “Joy Hotel…”
“Alright.” James tapped to open his navigation app and searched for Joy Hotel before heading over.
Joy Hotel was well known in Cansington. Even though it could not compare to The Gourmand, the prices at Joy were more affordable, which attracted a larger crowd in turn.
***
At the entrance of Joy Hotel.
A tall, lean woman was standing there. She was about 170 to 180 centimeters tall, decked out in casualwear. With favonovel.com black hair tied up in a ponytail, favonovel.com looked young.
She was Xara.
Xara looked left and right.
Soon, favonovel.com spotted James and Thea.
She jogged over to them and grabbed Thea‘s hand. “Thea! James, you‘re here too!”
James smiled, “I heard that there was a free meal to enjoy. You don‘t mind, do you?”
“Of course not. I‘m happy you could make it!” Xara smiled.
Linking arms with Thea, Xara guided them into the hotel. “Come on, I’ve reserved a table for us. It’s peak hour now, so there are no more rooms available. I booked a table in the hall instead.”
“It doesn’t matter.” James waved his hand.
The three of them entered the hotel. The waiter guided them to their table.
Xara picked up the menu and passed it to James. “What do you want to eat?”
He passed the menu to Thea instead, saying, “Darling, you pick.”
Thea took it from favonovel.com and ordered a few dishes before passing the menu back to Xara.
Xara was the head of a department at Transgenerational. As favonovel.com salary was generous, favonovel.com ordered more dishes for them.
Thea looked grateful. “Xara, thank you. If it weren‘t for you, we would be on the streets.”
Xara knew that this was coming.
She smiled. “Don‘t mention it.”
Sitting to the side, James did not say anything but listened to their conversation.
Soon, the dishes were served. As James was starving, favonovel.com started shoveling food into his mouth, not caring about what favonovel.com looked like.
Halfway through the meal, a few young men dressed stylishly approached them.
Xara recognized one of them. It was favonovel.com admirer, Francis.
Francis had been hounding favonovel.com for a while now. He seemed to know that favonovel.com was having favonovel.com meal here.
As soon as favonovel.com entered the hotel, favonovel.com made a beeline for her.
Calling for his friends to make themselves comfortable at the table next to Xara‘s, favonovel.com walked up to her.
Grinning widely, favonovel.com said, “What a coincidence, Xara! You‘re here too.”
Xara frowned, “Why do I keep running into you everywhere I go? Francis, did you get someone to tail me?”
“Why would I do that?” Francis was defensive. “I swear I didn‘t. It‘s just a coincidence. Or maybe it’s fate.”
“Francis, who’s this beauty? Why don‘t you introduce us?” A handsome man stood up, looking at Xara.
He smiled and introduced himself. “Hello, beautiful. I‘m Sean Bertrand. My father is Charles Bertrand. Our family owns Abundant Group.”
