As he spoke, Elijah crooked his finger at Winona Winona walked over, clearly unwilling.

Elijah wrapped an arm around Winona’s slim waist. “See? I wouldn’t let my girlfriend be treated like that.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Kyana no longer looked arrogant like before. She looked so anxious that she was close to tears.

Serena looked at her stepsister and felt a hint of mockery rise in her chest.

A voice sounded near her ear. It was deliberately lowered, deep and steady, with a soft note at the end. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have put you in that position.”

Then he spoke again. “Come on. Take this person without an invitation out.”

The moment those words landed, Kyana’s heart clenched.

No.

That can’t happen.

She couldn’t be thrown out.

If she got kicked out, how was she supposed to carry out her plan later?

Kyana forced herself to look at Serena. “Serena, I have an invitation. I really do. Please help me talk to Mr. Levine. I really have one.”

Serena felt baffled.

Sometimes she really wanted to pry Kyana’s head open and see what was actually going on inside.

Just moments ago, Kyana had been insisting on having her thrown out. Now she suddenly had the nerve to beg her to step in.

Serena wasn’t a saint. There was no reason for her to help.

Her fair hand lightly tugged at the man’s cuff. “Sebastian, I don’t know her.”

Kyana panicked right away. “Serena, why would you say something like that?”

Just as Sebastian coldly called two servers over and was about to have Kyana escorted out, Rowena finally arrived.

She had no idea what was happening. She had promised her mother that she would look out for Kyana a little, so she spoke carefully. “Sebastian, Elijah, what’s going on?”

When she addressed Sebastian by name, Serena’s brows lifted slightly. The reaction was subtle and easy to miss.

Sebastian’s expression darkened. “Do we know each other?”

Rowena had seen Sebastian at least twice before. Even though they had never spoken directly, they had attended the same gatherings. They weren’t complete strangers.

When she saw the striking woman standing beside him, she instinctively spoke up.

Now she was shut down so bluntly. Her expression immediately turned awkward and tense.

She looked at Elijah with a trace of grievance. “Did Kyana do something to upset you?”

Elijah was deeply annoyed with Rowena. Every time she looked at him with those watery eyes, it made his skin crawl.

Her overly sweet and soft voice only made it worse.

Still, their mothers were close friends. He kept his tone restrained. “You brought her here?”

Rowena’s heart sank, but she didn’t show it. She kept a faint smile. “Yes.”

“Since she came with you, Sebastian, let it go this time.”

Sebastian shot him a cold glance.

Do you really think you have any pull here?

Elijah knew that once Sebastian turned cold, no one could sway him. He shifted his attention to Serena. “Ms. Steele, my company is looking for a legal advisor. Are you interested?”

Serena was caught off guard. “You’re too kind, Mr. Payne. Of course.”

Sebastian let out a quiet scoff.

At least he knows when to back off.

He patted Serena’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to get something to eat.”
