Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 3521

Colby Jensen proved to be charismatic and socially adept, effortlessly holding conversations with Marina and Summer while making sure his girlfriend, Trixie, felt like the center of attention. The dinner was a success, filled with laughter and promises of future double dates.

Unlike her previous hesitations, Trixie eagerly agreed to the next meetup.

When Colby asked for the check, the waiter informed him that Marina had already taken care of it. Feeling bad, Colby insisted on paying her back.

Marina just laughed it off. "You're dating Trixie, which makes you one of us now. Don't worry about it. We've got plenty of time to hang out in the future."

Colby smiled. "Then it's a promise—the next round is on me!"

"Sounds good!" Marina nodded casually.

Trixie wrapped her arms around Colby's bicep. "Let's not argue over who pays! It's all the same."

Colby pulled her close affectionately. "It's our first time meeting them. I really should have paid. But since Marina got this one, the next dinner is definitely mine."

Trixie tilted her head up proudly. "Your project bonus is coming in soon anyway. You can take Marina and Summer out somewhere nice!"

Summer immediately chimed in. "Wow, Trixie, where did you find such a great guy? I'm officially jealous!"

Trixie's smile beamed even brighter.

After dinner, Marina drove back to her apartment. Just as she pulled into her parking spot, her phone buzzed with a WhatsApp message from Colby.

[Marina, the dress you wore today looked absolutely stunning. It really suits your vibe!]

Marina frowned. But a second later, another message popped up.

[I'd love to buy one just like it for Trixie. Do you mind telling me where you got it?]

Letting out a breath of relief, Marina typed out the brand of her maxi dress and hit send.

Colby: [Thanks! Sorry to bother you. Have a good night!]
