Chapter 369
Avery’s POV
The Splendor was a newer venue, Sebastian said as we pulled up. It had a gleaming modern outer facade that was mostly glass, allowing you to see straight into the lounge. Even from here, I could see the glittering chandeliers, red carpeting, plush furniture, and the finely dressed patrons.
That woman was right, I quickly realized. I would have stuck out like a sore thumb if I came here in business casual attire. The place practically reeked of cash when we entered.
Sebastian held the door open for me. The moment we stepped inside, the hostess rushed over, ushering us to a curved booth in the corner. It was surrounded on three sides by partitions, with a privacy curtain if we wanted it.
“It’s a pleasure to see you, as always, Alpha Sebastian,” the hostess said, seating us with a smile. “Will you be having the usual?”
“Yes, Andrea. And bring the whole bottle.”
“Indeed, Sir.” The hostess rushed away, beelining for the bar.
I shot Sebastian an amused look. “Are you some kind of celebrity here?” I asked.
He smirked. “I have a membership. I mean, everyone here does-you can’t get in without one -but I was one of the first. A buddy of mine actually owns the place.”
“I see,” I said, reaching for the menu. Everything on it was very expensive, most of it imported from overseas. I hadn’t even seen some of these options in the fine dining establishments I took clients to in the human lands.
A few minutes later, the hostess returned with a bottle of expensive red wine, which she poured for us. Sebastian ordered a couple of appetizers for us to share. I sat back and swirled my wine in my glass, looking around,
“I have to ask you something,” Sebastian said, leaning forward. “That dress… Is it yours?”
