"It means a lot." Reece said, "Being invited by you makes me feel significant."

Sophie didn't quite follow Reece's train of thought but chose to understand.

That evening, Sophie reserved a table at a high-end restaurant, opting for a private dining room to match Reece's status.

"After you, my lady." Reece opened the car door for Sophie.

Sophie dressed casually and without makeup. She even bought a mask to wear to avoid drawing attention to Reece.

Upon entering, Sophie naturally removed her mask, only to look up and see Nichole.
