This restaurant had opened just above Lucius's, and it was all the rage. Lucius insisted on checking it out, and he dragged Orion along. The waiter repeatedly emphasised that it was a restaurant meant for couples.

Lucius batted his eyelashes suggestively, raised his pinky finger, and clung to Orion's arm. He asked, "Don't we look like a couple?" "Hey, Lucius, Orion, what a coincidence!"

A couple approached from their opposite sides. It was Aron Reynot, the heir of the Reynots. He had the demeanour of a playboy. The woman, clinging to his arm, appeared to be an internet celebrity who had recently gained fame. She had a triangle face and big eyes, which was typical for an internet celebrity. At this time, that woman was obediently clinging to Aron's arms.

Lucius snorted and asked, "What brings you here?"

"Lily said this place is nice, so we're here to check it out. Isn't this a couple's restaurant?" Aron covered his mouth and tried not to laugh as he realised something.

They had been friends since their youth and had no need for pretense. Orion's complexion was dark as he glared at Lucius.

Enjoying the spectacle, Aron wasn't about to leave. He sat down with them, and his date took a seat opposite Orion. When she looked up, she saw his chiselled face and tried hard to suppress her excitement, not daring to speak in front of Aron.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Hey, Orion, isn't that the scheming girl?" Aron gestured with his chin towards the dance floor.

The pleasant music played softly in the background as Hansen led Seraphina to the dance floor. He said playfully, "Let's have a dance. We're here, so why not enjoy the dance floor?"

Before Seraphina could reply, the music started to play. If she turned him down, they would attract attention. Fine, let's dance, then.

The lively music began. After a brief hesitation, their steps quickly synchronised. Gradually, they became the centre of attention on the dance floor. Everyone around them stopped to watch. Hansen's striking looks and Seraphina's beauty made them stand out. As her skirt twirled, they captured all the eyes in the

room.

Hansen's eyes gleamed as he suddenly noticed someone in a corner. Just as the music ended, he pulled Seraphina into his arms, spun her around, and positioned her back against the crowd. He lowered his head and pulled her into his arms. For everyone watching, it looked like they were sharing a passionate kiss.

Suddenly, the room erupted in applause.

Orion remained silent, and his expression was catet.

Lucius scoffed at their retreating figures and mocked. "That's it?"

Clearly, they danced at a professional level, but Lucius would never admit that Seraphina danced well

"Exactly. That scheming girl has already found herself a new target. Aron sneered coldly.

As he swept through Aron, Orion's eyes darkened. He asked, "Scheming girl? Is that what you call her behind her back?"

"What else should I call her? She went all out to marry you for money. We all know it. As your buddies, we were so glad when you divorced her and finally got rid of that gold-digger."

Aron thought about it and was oblivious to Orion's darkening expression. He started to recount a memory as if it were a joke.

"Do you remember when we went out drinking right affer you got married? And you went to the gents? And she called in the middle of the night to check on you. I answered the phone for you and warned her to know her place. She doesn't get it; that woman should've realised marrying you was the best thing that ever happened to her."

The glass slammed on the table hard. The joyous atmosphere around them contrasts sharply with the cold tension at their table.
