They’d planned to cook dinner together, but Henry got a call. 

“It’s about a business deal; I’m deciding whether to give the other party a chance.” 

It was work–related, so Sonya didn’t pry. Shortly after Henry left, Lily Lane called, inviting her for drinks at Jake Parker’s bar. 

“You stood me up last time,” she huffed. 

“I 

got drunk and forgot to call you. I just left,” Lily Lane explained. 

“I’m pretty tired, actually.” 

“I miss you.” 

“Fine, I’ll go.” 

The bar was closed. Inside, only one private room was lit. 

“Sonya, over here!” 

Lily Lane waved from the bar. Sonya nodded.“Why aren’t you open?” 

Lily Lane pointed to the lit room.“Jake Parker said he’s hosting an important client tonight.” 

Sonya sat beside Lily Lane.“Is Jake Parker in there?” 

“And Leo Jones,” Lily Lane paused, “and Julian Jennings.” 

Sonya frowned at the name. 

“I didn’t know he’d be there,” Lily Lane quickly added. 

“It’s fine.” 

Sonya saw Lily Lane’s flushed face; she’d had quite a bit to drink. 

“How’s filming going?” she asked. 

Lily Lane sighed.“I transferred to Group A.” 

“Luna Stone is giving you a hard time?” 

“It’s manageable, but Director Davis has high standards. Every take of my scenes is a retake; the pressure’s intense.” 

Sonya patted Lily Lane.“You haven’t acted in years; it takes time to adjust.” 

“Teacher Sullivan is really helpful. She occasionally gives me acting tips. Oh, you know Teacher Sullivan?” 

“I know her, but we’re not close.” 

Lily Lane hugged Sonya.“Teacher Sullivan is only being nice to me because of you.”

“She mentions you constantly, asking about you. I’m starting to think she wants you to be her daughter–in–law.” 

Sonya laughed.“Does Teacher Sullivan have a son?” 

“She did, but…” Lily Lane pondered, “he passed away.”

Sonya was startled. Linda had such a painful past. As a fan, she hadn’t delved into her private life. Chef Stone rushed out from the kitchen, asking Sonya for help delivering a freshly prepared dish to the private room. 

“We’re closed, nobody’s here. I’m the only one in the kitchen, I’m swamped!” He scurried back. “I’ll go,” Lily Lane offered. 

“I’ll go,” Sonya said, steadying her.“You’re drunk.” 

“Okay, just don’t bonk Julian Jennings on the head.” 

“I just wish I didn’t know him.” 

Sonya carried the dish towards the private room. She heard lively chatter. Opening the door, she froze. 

Sitting opposite, lounging and smoking, was Henry. He stiffened, instantly straightening up. 

Before he could speak, Julian Jennings cut in. 

“Who says all the girls in school like you? Some of us like me, too.” Julian Jennings glared at Henry, then pointed at Sonya.“She loves me, madly. Even if I didn’t marry her, she’d have stayed with me for eight years.” 

It had been a joke, but Jake Parker and Leo Jones frowned. 

“Julian, don’t talk nonsense; you’re about to get married,” Jake Parker warned.
