After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 291

"Anyway, Aria, you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel!"

"What are we all chatting so happily about?" Dr. Alden Reaves pushed the door open and walked in, with Samuel Kersey right behind him.

"Today's victory wouldn't have happened without Samuel's help," Dr. Reaves said. "Since this is a celebratory dinner, I thought I'd bring him along."

Samuel handed a carefully wrapped gift to Aria. "Happy divorce, Aria."

Mira Dawson blinked, glancing from Aria to Samuel, then over to Raphael Evernight, before flashing Aria a knowing smile.

Aria quickly stepped in to make the introductions. "This is Samuel Kersey, and this is Mira Dawson. We're all colleagues on the GJ101 project."

Mira immediately stood up to shake his hand. "Nice to meet you! Just call me Mira."

"Nice to meet you too," Samuel replied, shaking her hand.

Once everyone was seated, the server began bringing out the appetizers. Aria had only ordered a few basic dishes, so she passed the menu over to Dr. Reaves. "Dr. Reaves, why don't you see if there's anything else you'd like to add?"

Dr. Reaves took the menu without hesitation. After ordering a few of his favorites, he handed it to Samuel. "Don't be shy, Samuel. This girl just got divorced and is loaded with cash now."

Samuel nodded with a grin. "Then I won't hold back!"

It was just a dinner; it wasn't going to break the bank anyway.

"Aria, can we open the gift?" Mira asked, unable to contain her curiosity. "I've never seen a divorce present before!"

"Well..." Aria glanced hesitantly at Samuel.

Samuel smiled easily. "It's just a little something I picked up. I hope you like it."
