That evening.
The friends from "The Graces' Chat" were having a get-together.
Melody had been busy shooting a scene during the day's birthday party and couldn't make it, though her gifts for the children had arrived long before. Maggie, on the other hand, was on a business trip in another province. She'd tried to catch an early flight back, but a three-hour delay meant she didn't get to Clayborne City until three in the afternoon.
Of all her close friends, only Wendy had been able to attend the twins' birthday party.
So that evening, Janina organized a special dinner just for her best friends. She chose The Tasting Room, mainly for its high level of security. As the reigning queen of web series, Melody constantly had to be on guard against the paparazzi. Sometimes, being too famous was a burden.
Once they were all seated, the friends slipped into a relaxed, freewheeling mood.
"It feels like forever since we all got together like this. Has it been a month? Let's enjoy ourselves tonight. I just feel bad making West run around for us," Melody said, taking a sip of her iced tea and glancing toward West, who was heading into their private room.
Because it was a gathering for Janina's closest friends, West had personally taken over the kitchen to cook for them, remembering each of their tastes.
"Well, that's what happens when Nina has so many doting brothers," Maggie chimed in with a light laugh, already digging into the food with an envious look. "Knowing it's our girls' night, he's cooking for us himself. We're definitely benefiting from being friends with you."
