“Max.” With that, an affectionate look suddenly appeared in charity’s eyes as she looked at her friends. Then, she explained shyly, “Max, Eliza, and I are childhood best friends, especially he and Eliza. He was the first person to notice the change in Eliza and expose me. He has helped me a lot over the years, and he was also the one who helped me hire the bodyguards at the entrance.”
“Oh. Not bad.” Mireya scoffed strangely. ” Charity, you’re quite good at acting, huh? You even pretended like it was your first time meeting Max when Ryan introduced you both to each other.”
“He has a special identity, so it’s not appropriate for him to get too close to me,” Charity explained helplessly.
“Is he interested in you?” Cate asked curiously.
Mireya moved the chair closer as well. ” Charity, let me tell you that as a woman, you need not put all your eggs in one basket. I thought it wasn’t good to be with another man after having slept with Rodney back then, but after I took a bold step forward, I realized that… the feeling was great. It was wonderful, in fact.”
a ?
Charity was speechless. “Did I hear that correctly? Have you guys slept together?”
“Sure enough, experienced people do think differently.” Cate said sadly, “Shaun is the only man I’ve been with in my entire life. Now that I think about it, I’m losing out.”
“Cough. I didn’t mean that.” Mireya’s cheeks turned red. “In fact, many women are loyal, charity might have mixed feelings since she has only slept with Chester, but there’s no need to get upset over it. Be bold to sleep with other people. There’s nothing wrong with that. Life is meant to be enjoyed.”
Charity was at a loss for words.
Mireya’s openness made Charity seem as though she was very conservative.
Cate said, “If you meet someone skillful, that’s indeed an enjoyment.”
Charity choked on her saliva.
Where was she? Why was she hearing all kinds of filthy things?
She was just revealing her identity to them.
How did the subject stray so much?
“Alright. Let’s eat.” Charity changed the topic. “I heard the dishes here are good.”
“Fine. If we continue the conversation, Charity will be embarrassed,” Cate mocked.
“Charity, you’re an actor, yet you get embarrassed so easily.”
The three of them chatted and joked. It had been a long time since they had such a good time.
In fact, Charity’s death had always hit a nerve in Cate and Mireya. Every time they recalled those memories, they would feel very helpless.
“To celebrate the fact that Charity is still alive, let’s go for karaoke later.” Mireya said while beaming, “It’ll be my treat.”
“Please don’t. Both of you need to go home and spend time with your children.” Charity did not want to be a thorn in Shaun’s and Ryan’s sides.
“Charity, we want to keep you company.” Cate said while holding a wine glass, ” You’ve been lonely for a long time.”
That simple sentence made the usually tough Charity almost tear up.
After they finished their meals, they walked out of the private room with their hands held together.
There were rows of red lights in the long corridor outside.
At that moment, a few men walked out from the side. The man in the middle was wearing a pair of beige casual pants and a black Polo shirt. He had a handsome face and looked like a playboy.
When Charity saw him, she raised her brows calmly before turning around and saying to her buddies beside her, “Work with me in an act later.”
“What act?” Cate looked in the direction of charity’s gaze. “He’s quite good-looking.”
She had high standards, and on top of that, she had been primed with Shaun’s handsome face every day. Therefore, the man must be handsome for her to praise him.
“He’s not as mature as Ryan.” Mireya commented, “Who is he?”
“Monte.” Charity’s red lips twitched.
Monte was quite good-looking, or Eliza would not have loved him so madly.
Under the lights, the three women looked stunning in their own ways. They were even more outstanding than the night sky.
It did not take long before Monte and the few men noticed Charity, Eliza, and Cate’s presence, to which Monte’s eyes lit up.
Monte’s friend nudged him. “Monte, guess who those two people next to her are?”
Only then did Monte shift his eyes to Cate and Mireya, who were both indeed beautiful. However, he had met them before as the circle in Canberra was small. Not only were Cate and Mireya sought after on all kinds of occasions, but they were also doing very well in the fashion industry. A lot of socialites admired them.
“Cate and Mireya.” A friend named their identities. “One is Shaun’s wife, whose mom is an oil magnate, whereas Mireya is the prime minister’s future daughter-in-law. So the rumor that Eliza is good friends with them is true.”
“Monte, aren’t you close with Eliza? Introduce US to them.”
The one who spoke was the successor of Dolly Corporation, Hugo Jeffs, whom Monte needed help from recently.
Hugo was from Newcastle. He happened to be in Canberra for a business trip and stayed in the Patterson family’s hotel. Over the last few days, Monte had been personally treating him with good food. “Since you’ve requested, I’ll do you this favor, Young Master Jeffs.”
Monte laughed and greeted charity as he walked up to her. “Lizzie, what a coincidence. Are you going to dine here too?”
Charity raised her brows.
C
“Lizzie, these two are your…” Monte’s eyes settled on Cate and Mireya with a confused look on his face. He was pretending that it was his first time meeting them.
“These are my friends, Cate and Mireya.” Charity pretended as if she did not see through him and made a simple introduction.
Before Monte could speak, the few wealthy young men behind him walked forward.
“So you’re Miss Cox and Miss Lynch.
Both your reputations precede you.” Hugo said with a particularly enthusiastic smile, “I’ve heard about how beautiful both you ladies are, but now that I ‘ve finally met you in person, you’re much more beautiful than I imagined. By the way, I have yet to introduce myself. I’m Hugo Jeffs from Dolly Corporation in Newcastle.”
“Dolly Corporation?” Cate thought about it and was a little surprised. “Are you the Young Master Jeffs who owns the most luxurious hotel, Doyle Hotel, in Newcastle?”
“That’s right.” Hugo nodded pridefully. “I didn’t expect you to have heard about me, Miss Cox. Your mom and Mr. Costner once stayed in our hotel when they came to Newcastle for vacation.”
“Uncle Costner told me that your hotel was pretty fun. He won ten million dollars before he left.” Cate revealed an eager look.
Hugo said shyly, “Mr. Costner is a brilliant man. Since we’re all here, and it’s still early, would you like to join US? We were also planning to go to the clubhouse.”
“Come and join US, Lizzie.” Monte looked at Charity fondly, and her eyes resembled a hook.
“Should we… go and have some fun?” Charity looked over at her best friends.
“Since you’ve invited US, how can we say no?” Mireya said helplessly, “I’ve promised to meet Ryan, but because of you, I’m going to stand him up.”
After Monte heard it, he immediately said, “Miss Lynch, you can invite Mr. Snow to join us as well.”
“No, it’s fine. He has a unique identity.” Mireya grinned.
“True.” With that, Monte nodded and looked at Cate. “Miss Cox, you can invite Mr. Lyons over as well.”
“My husband needs to take care of the kids at home.”
Hugo said with a smile, “Mr. Lyons is such a wonderful man, but I’m sure anyone who marries a beautiful wife like you will treasure you anyway.”
“My husband didn’t really treasure me before this. We’ve even gotten a divorce before. Don’t you know that?” Cate asked in astonishment.
Hugo froze. “…Well, I really had no idea. Sorry, I’m not from Canberra.”
“It’s fine. Don’t worry. I’m not that petty.”
With that, the group of them went to the clubhouse in Janee Hotel.
Cate and Mireya were singing while the few wealthy young men were flattering them.
