Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 104

The professional course teacher next to him observed that Hattie knew the crew members, so she stayed quiet.

Hattie looked at the vacant chair next to her and proposed, "There's an empty spot over there. If you're okay with it, we can dine together."

The crew members came to the cafeteria as they looked for places to sit.

Considering Hattie is Hannah's daughter, it's highly likely she'll enter the entertainment world eventually. With her connections, there's potential for substantial sponsorship and investment. Waylen viewed this as a chance to honour Hattie.

"Absolutely, let's go. Mr. Howell, care to join us?

Wade chose to stay relaxed and replied calmly, "I'm fine with either option."

After they reached an agreement, Zelena and the two people at the table quickly cleared their trays and waited for their arrival with smiles.

Violeta and Kaylee watched as the crew members moved towards them.

Kaylee whispered, "Vio, do you think Hattie's compliments are sincere or insincere?"

After the earlier incident, it wouldn't take long for the entire school to hear about it.

Hattie had accomplished her goal of gaining attention and recognition.

"Time to move."

"Okay."

As Violeta and Kaylee prepared to depart, Wade noticed them. He recognised Violeta's silhouette and briefly considered calling out to them, but ultimately refrained when he saw them leaving.

Coincidentally, as the two were exiting the cafeteria, Nolan happened to walk in.

Watching them were about to leave, Nolan asked, "Violeta, have you eaten already?"

"Yes, I have," she replied.

Nolan glanced towards the cafeteria and asked, "Did you happen to see Mr. Howell? He visited the school today."

Violeta nodded, responding, "Yes, I did. They're currently having their meal in there."

Nolan grinned slightly. "Then, how about joining me in greeting him?"

Violeta paused. "Is it suitable? Many crew members are around."

Nolan comforted, "Why not? During our recent chess match, Mr. Howell even inquired about you, curious why he hadn't bumped into you at the park. This is a perfect chance to catch up with him. Today's cast list is finalised, so if you delay, you might miss another chance to see him at school. Let's head over."

Kaylee was surprised by Nolan's remarks.

She hadn't expected Violeta to be acquainted with Wade too!

Furthermore, from Nolan's manner, it appeared they had known each other for a while, unlike Hattie, whom her mother had introduced to her.

"Vio, you're remarkably composed. Despite Hattie causing a scene earlier, you stayed calm."
