Chapter 54: Eavesdropping
In addition to the female celebrity Stacy, who she knew, the other person in the private room was Eden’s brother, Dalton. He was not dressed as formally as last time. He wore a simple short-sleeved shirt and casual pants, looking extremely casual.
Stacy was tied to a bun, wearing a black-and-white dress. With a faint smile on her face, she looked as gentle as a girl next door. When she saw Suzanne, she greeted her politely, “Suzanne.”
“Miss Williams, long time no see.” Suzanne nodded at her with a smile and sat down aside.
A popular celebrity like Stacy should be protected by her manager and assistant 24 hours wherever she went. Suzanne didn’t expect her to bypass so many reporters and come to this restaurant to have hot pot.
Nancy sat down next to Suzanne. Seeing that Dalton was still wearing his sunglasses, she was a little curious. “Why are you still wearing sunglasses? Are you very ugly?”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes, I’m afraid taking off my sunglasses will scare you,” Dalton said lightly.
Eden called for two more pairs of chopsticks and sat down next to Nancy. He smiled warmly and said, “My brother is quite handsome, but his eyes are rather cold. I am afraid that you will be frightened if he takes off his sunglasses.”
“Really?” Nancy’s eyes lit up. She glanced at Eden and then at Dalton. She then asked excitedly, “Hey, is your brother more handsome or you?”
Eden was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. “It must be my brother who is more handsome. Do you like my brother?”
When he said this, Suzanne clearly felt Stacy, who was sitting opposite her, stiffen for a moment. She held her chopsticks tightly and seemed to be very uneasy.
“No.” Nancy answered very honestly. “If I had any feelings for him, my heart would definitely thump wildly when I first saw him, but my heart isn’t that thumping.”
“Eat your hot pot.” Suzanne patted her on the shoulder and smiled. “Didn’t you say you wanted to drink beer? Maybe someone has already sent the beer to our private room.”
“Yes, if you hadn’t said it, I would have forgotten.” Nancy patted her forehead. Only then did she remember the important matter and quickly run out to see if the private room they were sitting in had any beer sent over.
After Nancy went out, Suzanne looked at Dalton and said apologetically, “I hope you don’t care too much about it. She is that kind of character, she can’t hide her words.”
“It’s fine.” Dalton didn’t mind at all.
“It’s rare to be together. Eat, don’t talk all the time.” Eden put the side dishes in the hot pot. “This is my first time at this hot pot restaurant. I heard that it’s quite good.”
Suzanne chuckled. “It’s been hard for you to come all the way here to eat.”
“There’s no way. There are too many familiar faces over there.” Eden smiled, and the porcelain plate in his slender hand was particularly beautiful. “It just so happens that Miss Williams is free, so we came over here to get together.”
Don’t always call me Miss Williams. I’m only three years younger than your brother. Call me Stacy,” said Stacy. She not only looked beautiful but also have a beautiful voice. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be admired by so many people.
“Okay, Stacy, then please take care of me in the company in the future!” Eden said mischievously.
Not long after, Nancy rushed in with a few cans of beer and shouted excitedly, “Come on, who wants beers? Hot pot and beer are a perfect match!”
“You guys drink, I have to drive later.” Suzanne pushed the beer handed over by Nancy to Dalton, who was sitting next to her. “You drink it, and I’ll send you off later.”
“The two vans are waiting outside, do I need you to send them?” Dalton sneered with a cold voice as he opened the can and gulped it down.
Suzanne was depressed. Why did this kind of cold guy always appear around her?
Apart from Suzanne, Stacy couldn’t touch alcohol either. It was said that her manager was quite strict. If she found out that she had drunk, she would definitely be reprimanded.
The ones having the most fun in the private room were Nancy and Eden.
Eden was not afraid of spicy food, but he did not dare to eat too much. Looking at Nancy’s strong appetite, he was also unconvinced. The two beat their fists and drank while eating, they were truly like two big kids.
The other three didn’t have much to talk about, so they just buried themselves in eating, which was very boring.
After eating for a while, Suzanne went to the bathroom.
Not far from the bathroom was the emergency exit. When Suzanne washed her hands and went out, she happened to see Dalton coming over, followed by a person. She quickly stepped back and pressed her body against the wall.
After waiting for a while, Suzanne estimated that Dalton should have gone to the bathroom before quietly poking her head out to take a look.
The person who had been following behind Dalton was Stacy. She was currently holding onto the corner of Dalton’s clothes, not letting him go.
“Dalton, do you have to hide from me like this?” Stacy said disappointed. Since her back was facing her, Suzanne couldn’t see the expression on her face. However, she knew that these two definitely know each other.
Dalton sneered, “Why would I hide from you for no reason? Miss Williams, we don’t know each other.”
“It’s been so long. You should have cooled down by now, right?” Stacy said in a low voice, “I know I used to be too willful, but I’m changing now. Can you give way a little?”
“Give you a little? Okay, you quit the entertainment industry.”
“Dalton, don’t be like this. You know how much effort I’ve made to get to where I am today.” Stacy blamed him for his childishness. “I signed a ten-year contract with the company. If I terminate the contract, I’ll have to pay tens of millions of liquidated damages.”
Dalton pulled off his sunglasses and took a step closer to her. He sternly asked, “Are you really out of money or do you not want to quit?”
When Suzanne, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, saw Dalton taking off his sunglasses, she couldn’t help feeling shocked. His face was indeed good-looking, but the most frightening was his eyes, shining with a bloodthirsty cold light, like a ferocious leopard.
Stacy was also a little scared and unconsciously took two steps back, “Dalton, can you not force me?”
“I’m forcing you?” Dalton started laughing, it seemed to be funny. He grabbed Stacy’s delicate neck and pressed her against the wall, who was a murderer spirit on his body, and it was extremely cold.
“In order to enter the entertainment industry, you didn’t hesitate to abandon me and go to Australia to study. You were so timid that you were cowardly to break up with me over the phone. Later, you were afraid that your company would discover it, so you rushed to break off the engagement with me.”
He closed his fingers around her neck and stared at her coldly. “The Williams Family is such a huge family. Can’t it give you a sense of satisfaction with money and fame? Or arrogant you want the whole world to worship you and like you?”
Stacy grabbed his hand, and her eyes were red as looked pitiable. She said, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“I cannot afford your apology,” Dalton said faintly as he forcefully pulled his hand out. “Since you like acting so much, then continue to do it. To make everyone know you.”
“Dalton!” Stacy almost cried. She threw herself into his arms and tightly gripped his clothes with both hands, “Don’t do this. We grew up together and have been together for more than ten years. How can you just let go?”
“You’re the selfish one, it’s just that you don’t want to see it clearly.” Dalton pushed her away and said in an extremely cold tone, “I’m not a sheep raised by you. When you think of me, you only need to call a few times I would run back automatically.”
