As soon as the words were spoken, the women flocked around Dale.
"Dale, come sit with us!"
"Come with me, over here!"
Dale cleared his throat and moved to sit next to Maliah, causing a stir among the crowd.
A woman asked, "So, you're a regular here too?"
Dale smiled and said, "I'm just here with friends. I don't usually come out."
"Oh, you're such a sweetie! You came at the right time. Let us show you a good time. We're playing some games!"
Dale agreed readily, and everyone enjoyed his lack of pretense.
Maliah took a sip from her glass, and her friends nudged her. "Stop drinking so much. Look, Dale keeps looking at you!"
"Maliah, how does he compare to Matthew?" one of Maliah's friends asked.
"Of course, Dale is better looking!" Maliah raised an eyebrow at Dale, who raised his glass. Maliah tilted her head back to drink.
Dale observed her and moved closer. "You can drink quite a lot?"
"Why do you look down on me?" Maliah asked.
Dale chuckled. "It's not that. It's just that too much alcohol isn't good for your skin."
Another woman said, "Dale, why do you care so much about her?"
"I'm a woman too! Don't you think my skin is good?"
"Yeah, I think my skin is quite nice!"
Dale laughed lightly. "Of course, you're beautiful. Even in the entertainment industry, you're top-notch!"
"Really? Dale, you're too smooth!"
Maliah watched Dale approach. She wasn't naive. It was clear Dale had ulterior motives.
They all knew each other's backgrounds well. Seeing Maliah attract Dale's attention made some people a bit jealous.
"Maliah, you're amazing. Even our celebrity crush is enchanted by you."
"Yes, Maliah must be feeling much better now."
"Lucky Maliah, feeling down but ends up meeting a star. Tonight, let Dale keep you company!"
Maliah smiled at her friends' words. She and Dale locked eyes, and they immediately understood each other's intentions.
Maliah was curious and wondered, 'Does even a big star have to sell himself?'
Dale knew they were wary, but Maliah, being a naive young lady with a hint of feigned sophistication, was easy to handle.
The group was chatting and joking, and Dale, knowing Maliah was the heiress of the Anderson family, treated her with special care.
"Maliah, let's play some dice!" Dale said.
Maliah didn't refuse. Dale seemed to deliberately lose, drinking quite a lot. Maliah took the initiative to help him out.
Maliah said, "Don't hold back on me. I'm not delicate!"
