Chapter 0289
Mason’s gaze returned in just a moment. Candice originally wanted to remind Yana, but after some consideration, she chose to stay silent.
Just then, Yana’s face lit up as she looked at a young man approaching–more fittingly described
as a boy.
The boy was wearing a basketball jersey casually covered by a gray sweatshirt. His slightly longer than crew–cut hair and the conspicuous black ear stud on his right ear made him stand out. Candice subconsciously frowned, but Yana had already greeted him, “Little Barox over here.”
The boy, called Barox, paused in his steps, a somewhat displeased expression on his face. “I told
you not to call me that.”
After saying this, he noticed Candice beside Yana. His sharp, narrow eyes paused for a moment
before quickly shifting away. He asked Yana in an indifferent tone, “You brought a friend, so why
did you call me?”
Yana chuckled and then immediately put on a serious face. “Stop the nonsense. I called you so
just come. Little Barox, this is my friend. Barox Gort is a junior at Dorrington University.”
Candice nodded upon hearing this. “Is he your boyfriend?”
Yana was about to speak when suddenly she saw someone approaching them. Her expression
changed immediately. She affectionately hugged Barox’s arm and said coquettishly, “Yes, the
feeling of dating someone younger is much more comfortable than dating an old man.”
“Yana.” A gentle and clear voice sounded, and Candice looked over to see the girl who had been
standing beside Mason.
There was a resemblance between them, so this was probably the birthday girl Mason’s sister. Jenice Cooper.
Yana hugged Barox, and her smiling expression gradually faded. She whispered, “Jenice, happy
birthday.”
Jenice hesitated and looked a bit conflicted. She glanced at Yana and then at Barox. “Yana, my brother…”
Yana, with a half–smile, interrupted her. “Jenice, don’t mention your brother in front of my current boyfriend. I’m afraid my little puppy will get jealous.”
Jenice hesitated again. Because of Yana, Mason had been scolded by his family since he had

returned to the country. This birthday party was also held by her mother to repair the relationship between Yana and Mason.
After all, the Cooper family no longer had a more satisfactory daughter–in–law than Yana or such an excellent in–law as the Landor family.
Yana hugged Barox’s arm intimately and said a few festive words to Jenice before leading the
group inside.
Mason still stood at the door. When Yana passed by him, her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously bit her lip. However, she didn’t stop and went straight into the venue.
Candice followed them, but Mason suddenly stopped her, “Ms. Renault.”
She halted, and her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she looked at him.
Dressed neatly with a calm expression, Mason handed her a business card, “I heard that you’ve been in charge of the business at Burning Star Studio lately. I was thinking of making time to visit Burning Star Studio. Since you’re here, can we talk later?”
Polite and courteous, his tone was also gentle.
Candice took his business card but responded, “I’m sorry, I’m just here today to accompany Yana
to the banquet.”
There was a history between Yana and Mason, and she didn’t want to have too much interaction with him. Moreover, considering Hanley’s personality, he probably wouldn’t cooperate with Mason.
either.
Mason wasn’t embarrassed and just nodded. “My oversight.”
Candice didn’t say anything more and went inside to find Yana and the others. However, the venue was already crowded, and people were gathered in groups. She couldn’t spot Yana immediately. Since she didn’t know many people here, she decided to find a corner and wait.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, she saw someone familiar approaching with a wine
glass.
Marc was wearing glasses, which made him look refined. Candice didn’t recognize him at first glance. He then spoke with that shy look again, “Candice, long time no see.”
She looked up. “I heard you recently got promoted to the position of general manager. Impressive. “Although Candice didn’t deliberately pay attention, she would still come across some news
about people in her social circle.
He was momentarily stunned and said, “You still pay attention to my affairs?” This response left

her speechless. She remained silent with pursed lips and prepared to speak.
However, before she could say anything, she heard a careless voice, “Of course, she has to care
about you. It’s just that I see she cares about more than just you.”
Just by the tone, Candice knew it was Sieg. She looked coldly over, but one glance at the young
man beside Sieg made her furrow her brows.
