Spoiled by the Silver Fox

Gillian excitedly asked, "Can we order anything, even the expensive dishes?"

Glancing at the menu, the restaurant was really upscale. All customers were dining in private rooms, but the prices were quite steep. Cyrus casually said, "Absolutely! Go crazy!"

Maddie laughed, "Mr. Damon, really? You're worried about money? Gillian, just go ahead and order!"

"No problem!"

Stephanie wanted to use the restroom, so she stood up and said, "You guys order first, I'll take a quick trip to the bathroom."

Cyrus tried to make small talk, "Be sure to come back soon!"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Maddie couldn't help but think how well-behaved Cyrus, who had a reputation in their circle for being mischievous and hard to deal with, was when he was around Stephanie.

As Stephanie came out of the bathroom, she suddenly bumped into someone.

She looked up, and with a surprised expression exclaimed, "Silver Fox!! What are you doing here?"

Sebastian, also surprised, said, "Came for a business meal. My client booked a dinner here. What about you?"

"I came with Gillian and some new friends for a meal. Silver Fox, I wanted to thank you for helping with my mom's caretaker and arranging school for me..."

Sebastian replied indifferently, "No problem, just a small thing. Which room are you guys in?"

"Room 108. Do you want to come in and meet my classmates?"

"I still have things to handle. Next time!"

"Okay, then. You go ahead and get busy! I won't bother you any longer!"

"Mhm."

After a brief exchange, they went their separate ways.

After eating, laughing, and chatting, Cyrus went to pay the bill, only to find that someone had already paid for their meal.

Frowning, he asked, "Who paid?"

Was it Stephanie? Was she being so alienated to him?

The cashier said, "It was Mr. Ingram."

Sebastian? Cyrus's face immediately turned dark.

Was Sebastian having someone monitor Stephanie? How else he know about their dinner

pay the bill in advance? W cunning and treacherous guy!

Little did he know, Sebastian had no idea Cyrus was there. It just so happened that Martin went to settle the bill, so Sebastian mentioned casually to him to pay for the billin Room 108 as well. It was just a passing remark, meant to create a positive image of Stephanie in the eyes of their classmates and facilitate better future interactions. Sebastian didn't think much of it.

With a gloomy expression, Cyrus walked out of the restaurant, and Stephanie waved at him, saying, "Cyrus, we'll take a taxi back."

"I'll give you a ride!"

"Your sports car only has two seats, and there are four of us. Let's just take a taxi," Stephanie insisted.

Cyrus sighed and said, "Next time, I'll get a car with four seats."

"Okay, let's discuss it next time. Thanks for the meal today!"

"No need to thank me!" Cyrus didn't plan on telling Stephanie that Sebastian had paid for the meal. Since Stephanie didn't know, he considered it a win.

However, he didn't expect that

Stephanie would find out later in the

evening. Her mother sent her a text asking if she had taken the time to care about her "Seb"... Stephanie replied casually with a "yes." Then, she casually sent a text to check on Sebastian, asking, "Silver Fox, how's your health recently?"

After sending the text, she tossed her phone aside and went to take a shower.
