*Seriously, even Frank has to call ahead to see if you’re free, and I have to do the same just to hang out with you. The fact that I actually caught you here today? Talk about luck, babe,” she added.

Sophia couldn’t help but laugh at May’s so-called conspiracy theories. She fed her a bite of cake. “You make it sound so real. Don’t overthink it.

“Easton’s the CEO of a huge international company, why would he go to all that trouble for me? I’m not exactly some hot commodity.”

May swallowed the cake and said, “You really are a hot commodity, Sophia. You’re gorgeous and you don’t even know it. In all of Jenston, Easton’s the first one who’s totally crazy about you.”

Sophia just smiled and shook her head.

They didn’t dwell on the topic any longer. After wrapping up their work, the two of them grabbed Emily and headed out for dinner.

Sophia had been saying in the group chat that she was dying for seafood lately, so May took them to a super popular restaurant and even booked a private room in advance.

“Wow, May, you’re seriously impressive. How did you snag a reservation so fast? I heard tons of celebrities come here, and the line outside is always insane,” Emily exclaimed.

She gave May a big thumbs-up while sipping on their signature juice.

Sophia just smiled to herself. What they didn’t know was that this place was actually owned by Charles, one of Easton’s close friends.

The real reason May scored a private room so fast was that Ryan was totally trying to win her over, he knew she was a huge celebrity fangirl, so he personally showed up at her law firm just to hand-deliver a membership card.

May didn’t even want to accept it at first, but since Sophia kept saying she was dying for seafood, she reluctantly took it just for her sake.

When Sophia found out, she just thought, ‘May’s honestly the best friend anyone could ask for.’

But Sophia also mused, ‘Ryan’s genuinely a good guy. He’s got a great reputation, both at home and abroad, and everyone says nothing but good things about the Howard Group and its heir.

‘Most importantly, Ryan’s never had any rumors or scandals. If he and May actually got together, I’d be genuinely happy for her, she wondered.

The three of them sat in the private room, chatting and enjoying their meal. But even though it was supposed to be a private room, the soundproofing was basically nonexistent.

Just as they were finishing up, they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the next room.

Emily paused, then it clicked for her. “Wait, isn’t that the operations manager from Everwell International and Mr. Watson from the Maritime Authority?”

Sophia nodded. “Yeah, that’s definitely them.”

Then the conversation from next door picked up again.

“Mr. Watson, here are the data files from our last quarter’s collaboration with Crestview Group. Could you pass these along to Mr. Foster?

“He hasn’t shown up for a company meeting in forever, and honestly, it’s nearly impossible for us to get any face time with the boss. But hey, we get it.

“He’s got a million things going on. For someone at his level, we’re probably just small potatoes. Anyway, he’s got plenty of other execs running the show for him,” the Everwell International manager said.

Kevin chuckled, “Yeah, if Crestview Group hadn’t taken on the port project, we’d barely ever see Mr. Foster around here.”

The Everwell International manager’s voice dropped to a gossipy whisper. “Hey, do you think Mr. Foster is throwing all this money and effort into helping Crestview Group because he’s trying to win over Ms Roth?”

Sophia stopped paying attention to the rest of their conversation. Wait, Everwell International is actually Easton’s company?’ she thought, stunned. But she quickly shook it off and forced herself to stay cool.

“Are we done eating? Let’s head out,” Sophia said, keeping her tone light.

May and Emily were still processing what they’d just overheard, just as stunned as Sophia. They kept stealing glances at her, trying to read her expression without making it obvious.

Seeing Sophia act totally unfazed, they decided to just let it go and not mention it again.

That night, when Sophia returned home to Grandview Estate, she caught sight of Easton’s car as it rolled into the garage.

Normally, she’d just press the elevator and head upstairs like always. But tonight, she stood by the elevator, waiting for him.
