"Mhm, I'll get ready," Aurora replied, never expecting that Everett would actually bring Delilah to meet her this time.
At 5 p.m., Aurora arrived at the ninth-floor lounge with Dominic and Amanda. Z Director's assistant was already there waiting for them.
As they entered the private room, Aurora immediately spotted Everett in the crowd, even though it had only been a day and a night since they last saw each other.
Next to him was a sweet-looking girl.
She was wearing a soft white mohair sweater under a bright red coat. Heart-shaped face, big eyes—very approachable, pretty in a classic way.
The girl was cozied up next to Everett, her voice sugary sweet. "How about a glass of red wine? I heard you drank a lot last night!"
Everyone else around was laughing and chiming in. But as soon as Aurora and Dominic walked in, the whole room quieted. People looked at Everett, then at Aurora.
