Kylie braced herself and got out of the car. Although her outfit wasn’t formal, it wasn’t casual either. However, compared to Ethan, it felt a bit hasty. Ethan seemed not to care about her attire, leading her directly into the towering skyscraper.
The restaurant was on the 28th floor. The place Ethan chose was no doubt the top circle of Belicy. Kylie followed Ethan into the magnificent sightseeing elevator. Inside the elevator, Ethan suddenly took off his coat, removed his bow tie, and unbuttoned two buttons of his white shirt. The action diminished some sense of restraint and added a touch of carefree and casual charm.
“Help me with these, Ethan suddenly spoke, handing his coat and bow tie to Kylie.She took them. Then she saw him leisurely rolling up the cuffs of his shirt, revealing his sturdy and muscular forearms. At that moment, he looked considerably more relaxed. Almost. instantly, Kylie knew what Ethan was doing. He was matching his attire with hers. There seemed to be a hint of guilt in her heart. Ethan thought she would attach great importance to his birthday, but she didn’t, and in the end, he had to cooperate with her indifference. She tried hard to ignore her inner emotions. After all, she had her purpose for this dinner tonight.
The elevator arrived. Ethan took back his clothes and bow tie, and the waiter respectfully led them to the super VIP private room. The private room had a luxurious and spacious double–door design. As they walked past, the two waiters at the door each pulled open a door, appearing exceptionally noble. Only when Kylie followed Ethan into the room did. she reali
it was not just the two of them. There was Leopold whom she already knew, and the other two men, Joel Ellis and Xavier Vanderbilt. Except for Leopold being the adopted son of the Hayden family, the other two were well–known heirs of some wealthy families in Beliey, typical noble young masters.
“Ethan.” Joel took the initiative to greet him. “I see we’ve got company.”
“Hmm.” Ethan nodded, then turned to Kylie and said, “Let me introduce you to my friends. You already know Leopold, my uncle.”
“Mr. Cavanaugh.” Kylie smiled gracefully. Leopold also responded with a polite smile.
“Joel Ellis.” Ethan introduced her to another man. Kylic looked at the slightly chubby man. in front of her. Not a handsome guy at first glance, but upon closer inspection, his features were quite good. However, his figure made him appear somewhat disadvantaged compared to the other men in the room.

“We’re from the same school. You haven’t forgotten, right?” Joel was more active and friendly, always being outgoing. “Back in high school, I was a senior, one year older than
you.”
“Joel.” Kylie greeted with a smile, appearing very courteous.
“Hello, Kylie.” Joel eagerly extended his hand, but he noticed a glance from Ethan. Then, he tactfully withdrew his hand as he thought, ‘How petty.”
is Xavier Vanderbilt.” Kylie looked at the man on the far side. He should be the tallest among them, measuring above 6 feet 3 inches, with a crew cut of blonde hair, a stylish and somewhat rebellious aura, and a strong sense of fashion. Kylie’s first impression was that this person could have been a model. What a pity that he was not.
“Hello, Miss Stafford. Seeing you in person is better than hearing about you. You look even more charming than at the last press conference,” Xavier sincerely praised.
“Thank you for the compliment.” Kylie smiled. “You’re quite attractive too.”
Xavier smirked, seemingly challenging Ethan with a raised eyebrow. Ethan acted as if he had not seen it. While pulling a chair for Kylie to sit, he said, “They are my childhood friends. I spend more time abroad and rarely come back home. This is the first time celebrating my birthday in Beliey, so they wanted to celebrate with me.” In other words, he originally intended to celebrate alone with her, but there were a few tag–alongs he couldn’t. shake off
“Just make yourself at home. Don’t worry too much about them,” Ethan whispered in her ear. Clearly, he was taking care of her feelings. Kylie nodded. Ethan’s birthday would. naturally follow his own arrangements. However, she had prepared a lot to say tonight, not knowing if she would have the chance to say it.
Just right at the time, the private room’s door suddenly swung open. A familiar female voice came from the entrance. “I haven’t arrived yet, and you have already started eating? Didn’t you guys wait for me!” Kylie turned her head and saw Zola walking in with enthusiasm, carrying a bouquet of flowers.
“The great star Zola Yvette hasn’t arrived. Who dares to start eating?” Joel exaggerated on
purpose.
“Not bad for being sensible.” Zola laughed, then went directly to Ethan, hugging his neck affectionately. “Darling, happy birthday.”
Ethan glanced at the overly exaggerated bouquet, obviously disdainful. “Is this the birthday

“I put a lot of effort into it.” Zola vehemently defended herself. “These are individually selected flowers by me, and I personally made the bouquet. It’s unique, just like my feelings. for you.”
“Are
you addicted to acting?” Joel teased. Zola gave Joel a disdainful look. “You don’t understand the relationship between us. Don’t bother to intervene when it comes to our feelings!” Joel shrugged, indifferent as he had been used to the “love–hate relationship between Ethan and Zola.
“You asked me to give you a Hermes Himalayan Birkin on your birthday, and you are. giving me a bouquet as my birthday gift. Your feelings for me are truly unfathomable!” Ethan sarcastically remarked.
“You didn’t say you wanted any birthday gifts! Besides, you’re so rich, what can’t you buy for yourself? Why bother extorting someone like me, who is a small celebrity and relies on income from acting to make a living. Zola pretended to be wronged.
“Alright, sit down.” Ethan rarely wasted words with Zola. “Next time, don’t spray such a strong fragrance. It’s suffocating.”
“Fuck you.” Zola left Ethan’s side, sniffed herself, and muttered, “This perfume is very expensive, antique–level. I usually don’t have the heart to spray it. I only sprayed it for birthdays What’s wrong with your taste?”

Zola naturally sat next to Kylie. Kylie pursed her lips and watched the “teasing and joking” between Ethan and Zola very calmly and peacefully. She noticed that although Ethan expressed disdain for Zola’s flowers, he obviously looked at the bouquet a bit more at the moment Zola said she personally made it.
“Kylie, do you think the smell on me is good?” Zola asked Kylie to smell her.
“It’s quite pleasant,” Kylie said. “Top–grade rose fragrance from the Royal Chamber, Hermes in the perfume, and most importantly, it’s already discontinued on the market. It only appears occasionally at auctions, making it a rare treasure.”
“You do have an eye for good things. Men don’t understand anything.” Zola sincerely praised. Kylie really had more culture and connotation than she expected. She really liked Kylie too much. During Kylie’s last press conference, where she humiliated Perla and Sergio, Zola was truly exhilarated. She applauded and cheered enthusiastically. If it weren’t for her busy filming schedule, she would have definitely called Kylie to come out and celebrate with a drink. Fortunately, Ethan’s birthday was today, and she could indulge in a
