Although Alexis was disgusted by Shaylee, she still enjoyed this meal. After all, this seafood meal was worth more than 4,000 dollars. She got the money's worth!
Alexis felt it was so good to be friends with a rich woman like Scarlett!
Before leaving, Alexis also took away fried rice with seafood. She said she brought Bylie it.
Scarlett did not bother to expose Alexis’s lie. It was just fried rice with seafood, and she could afford it.
Just as they walked out of the restaurant after paying the bill, they were greeted by Shaylee, who was waiting for them. "Hello,
Ms. Carter and Ms. Reed."
Alexis didn't expect Shaylee to take the initiative to say hello. She looked at Shaylee and smiled. "I have not seen you in a while, Ms. Green. Your Twitter is quite eye -catching."
Shaylee's face changed instantly, but she quickly calmed down. She didn't stay here and wait for them to quarrel. "Ms. Carter and Ms. Reed, I had dinner with my friend today, and I didn't expect to run into you."
Scarlett smiled lightly. "What's up, Ms.
Green?"
Shaylee looked at the gorgeous woman in front of her. Somehow, Scarlett's calm look made Shaylee feel guilty.
But Shaylee did not think Scarlett knew Adriel, so she wasn't afraid. "Nothing. I am just coming to say hello."
She said and paused, glancing at Alexis. She then told them her purpose. "Ms.
Carter, you are also a star, so you also know that the paparazzi nowadays are very gossipy. I’m afraid of being misunderstood by them, so I stayed here to say hello to you.
The implication was that she did not have an affair with Adriel. If the paparazzi took photos of her and him, she hoped Alexis would not say anything.
Shaylee had another purpose of staying to say hello to Alexis. She took the chance to meet Alexis and tried to make others think that she and Alexis had dinner together. If the paparazzi took photos of her and Adriel, she could use this encounter to clear her name.
Alexis could immediately see through this little trick even without Scarlett's reminder.
Alexis could barely resist the urge to roll her eyes. However, there were a lot of people coming and going, and Alexis didn't want to argue with Shaylee here, which would attract the paparazzi's attention and get herself into trouble.
