Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 849

Lizetta couldn't even recall how she managed to finish her meal. The whole dining experience was oddly tense, leaving her no good opportunity to question Remington. As they left the private dining room, the hostess at the front desk handed Lizetta a consolation prize: a giant white teddy bear. Lizetta struggled to hold it, but Remington easily took it from her. Next to his tall and imposing figure, the teddy bear looked more like a cute accessory, despite the stark contrast it created with his refined aura and sharp suit. This unusual sight drew curious glances from passersby.

Being with him always felt like being under a magnifying glass. Lizetta quickened her pace, eager to leave, but Remington stood still, turning to the hostess to ask, "Has our photo been uploaded for the contest yet?"

"Yes, yes, it has. Maybe some people have already started voting for you."

"Where can I see the voting results?"

Remington's detailed inquiry caught the hostess off guard. Their restaurant catered to the affluent, where clients were usually not concerned about the outcome of promotional activities or prizes. Especially not someone like Remington, whose commanding presence set him apart from the average customer. It was surprising to see him take an interest in such matters. Tapping the counter gently, Remington prompted the hostess, who quickly fetched her phone to show him how to follow the contest updates.

Unbeknownst to him, activating the Starlight Group’s vast employee network might just crash the small restaurant’s website—a concern for later. Upon leaving the restaurant, Remington turned to Lizetta. "Didn't you say you had something to ask me?"

Lizetta paused, wondering if she should just come out with it.
