As Mary Sullivan spoke, the fingerprints on her face became even more apparent. Her face soon became swollen.
However, Xyla Quest could not be bothered to fight with her. Xyla pulled Georgie Clementine’s hand and began walking into the restaurant. Her high heels announced her departure with clear tapping sounds on the ground.
Meanwhile, Mary decided to run after them.
When Georgie saw Mary’s reflection in the glass wall, she immediately turned around and glared at Mary with her fist raised.
Mary came to a halt instantly and did not run after them. Instead, she stomped her feet on the ground angrily.
“Xyla Quest, you are done for! I am extremely happy about it,” Mary shouted.
However, Xyla ignored her completely.
“Beep, beep, beep—” Right then, Mary’s phone rang.
When Mary saw that it was a familiar series of numbers, she quickly got into her car and picked up the call suspiciously.
“Hello,” she said.
“I’ve done everything you asked me to,” a man’s cold voice could be heard from the other end of the call.
“Got it. I’ll transfer the money to you,” Mary said before directly hanging up.
After Xyla and Georgie entered the restaurant, they sat at a table next to a window.
There was a piano placed in the lobby of the restaurant. A handsome-looking boy dressed in a formal white tuxedo suit was playing ‘Dawn’ on the piano.
The upbeat and cheerful tune brought joy to everyone who heard it.
As soon as Xyla sat down, her gaze landed upon the boy. He was seated in the brightest spot in the restaurant. Dressed in a fully white outfit, he seemed spotless.
Meanwhile, he had a full head of short, blond hair. With fair skin, and distinct facial features of a Caucasian person, Xyla could tell he was mixed.
He seemed only around the age of eighteen or nineteen.
Coincidentally, the boy on the piano had finished performing and was walking off the stage.
Georgie quickly put her glass down and approached him before directly handing him a name card.
“Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Georgie Clementine. I am the chief executive of X Entertainment. I’m wondering if you would be interested to become a trainee at our company,” Georgie said.
“Nice to meet you,” the boy nodded politely at Georgie. His voice had a gentle yet crisp quality to it.
“Based on what you have and are capable of, you will certainly earn more as a celebrity than what you are doing now. Would you give that a thought?” Georgie asked.
“Alright. I’ll think about it carefully,” the boy nodded. He seemed very obedient.
Right then, Georgie felt as if her heart was melting. This little boy seemed too obedient and too wonderful to be true.
“What is your name?” Georgie asked.
“Morty Wayne,” he answered.
