On that evening, as the bustling city lights came to life, Seraphina crossed half of the city and arrived at the reserved restaurant. Nestor welcomed her at the entrance, and they chatted all the way until they reached their private dining room. Once inside the room, Seraphina finally understood why she had received that phone call earlier in the day.
The private dining room was filled with many people. Ike was sitting at the head of the table, joking with a seductive lady. However, as soon as he saw Seraphina, he immediately stopped and sat down, smiling at her. "Sera, you're here! I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"What were you waiting for me to do?" Seraphina casually found a place to sit and looked at him. "Don't you already have someone with you?"
Upon hearing this, Ike unreservedly asked the woman next to him to leave, saying, "Go away... make some room!"
The seductive lady naturally felt unwilling and glared at Seraphina before leaving.
"Why are you glaring at me?" Seraphina pretended to be innocent, "Wasn't it that guy who told you to leave?"
Hearing this, Ike laughed even more, "Sera, come sit here."
"No." Seraphina flatly refused, "I don't want to sit beside you."
Hearing this, Ike immediately took off his coat and sat next to Seraphina, "Is this better?"
Seraphina lazily ate her cherries without answering.
"Sera, stop pretending." Ike smiled, "I've checked, you and Leandro have no relations... otherwise, you wouldn't be here when he just returned from abroad today, right?"
Seraphina turned to look at him and laughed, "When did I say I had anything to do with Leandro?"
"Leandro?" Someone nearby heard their conversation and suddenly asked, "Leandro from the Reynolds Group?"
Seraphina looked at the woman who spoke, she seemed familiar, like some not-so-famous starlet.
The starlet looked at Seraphina and laughed, "Ms. Bennett, Mr. Ike treats you so well, he's so attentive... you should follow Mr. Ike, don't hold any expectations for Leandro, he's not interested in women!"
Seraphina glanced at Ike and showed interest in the starlet, "Really?"
People in the private room were watching Ike's response, seeing how he was trying to please Seraphina. Seeing Seraphina taking the bait, the starlet immediately walked up to her.
"Of course it's true." The starlet quickly became friendly with Seraphina, taking her hand and saying, "Ms. Bennett, my name is Una, I'm from Blissful Entertainment, do you know our company's Georgina?"
