Sherry waved at Channing, âWow, Chan, you become more handsome. More and more girls take fancy to you.â
Channing was rendered speechless.
When he prepared to say something, he spotted Elaine who stood beside Sherry with a slightly blushed face.
Sherry walked over and introduced Elaine, âHer name is Elaine James and sheâs around your age.â
Elaine stammered, âH... Hello.â
Channing slightly nodded at her to show his greeting.
Right at this moment, someone walked past them and Sherry moved aside to make way for the person, but she staggered.
Stella supported her, âLetâs get into the private room first. More and more guests will come here.â
Channing said, âLetâs go.â
Stella and Sherry walked in front of Elaine and Channing. Sherry couldnât help turning around several times and then she said to Stella in a whisper, âIs Elaine fascinated by Chan?â
Stella also turned around and took a glance at them when she heard the words.
Elaine walked shoulder to shoulder with Channing, clasping her hands and wriggling her fingers. Apparently, she was very nervous at the moment.
But it seemed like there was something fishy.
Sherry said, âI was joking before. Oh come on, this canât happen. But by the way, girls around Elaineâs age would be easily captivated by good-
looking boys and they would be easily attracted by boys around their ages. Channing meets the two above-mentioned....â
Stella withdrew her gaze and said, âItâs the first time that they met each other. I donât think she would fall into him at the first glance. Maybe she has a social anxiety disorder.â
âIâve been with her all day long today and I think she wonât have a social anxiety disorder.â
Stella was rendered speechless.
Sherry continued, âFalling in love at first sight is indeed being captivated by appearance. Because youâre beautiful, Mr. Conrad began to...â
Stella covered her mouth, âAll right, stop here.â
Sherry chuckled and pulled down Stellaâs hand, âWell, I was joking. Elaine is a daughter of a rich family, of course, she must have seen many gorgeous men. And Darnell must look better than Channing. We should not worry about it since it hasnât happened. Just wait for the progress and see what we should do next.â
They then arrived at the private room.
The moment they seated themselves, a waiter immediately walked into the room to help them order food.
Since people from Riverside, including Elaine, generally couldnât eat food that was too spicy, and that Sherry couldnât eat too much spicy food either, they ordered a two-favour hot pot, one spicy and one not.
When finishing ordering food, Channing asked, âWhereâs Clarence?â
Stella replied, âHe has to deal with some matters in the company and he canât come here.â
Channing groaned a nasal sound and didnât say anything else on this topic.
Originally, Channing prepared to ask Stella about the child in detail, but due to Elaineâs presence, he didnât bring up this topic.
He thought he could ask her about this later.
Stella turned to the beverage page of the menu and asked them what they would like to drink. Thereafter, she asked Sherry, âWill Daniel join us?â
âI donât know either. He didnât answer my call. Come on, just enjoy our meal and leave him alone. Itâs good if he doesnât come. Then I can eat more spicy food.â
Stella chuckled. Right at this moment, her phone rang.
It was a call from Winnie, who told her that she would arrive soon and asked her which private room they were in.
Stella said, âIt may be a bit hard for you to find the private room. I will let Channing lead you in.â
After ending the call, Stella looked towards Channing, âWinnie will arrive at the restaurant soon. Go out and take her in.â
Channing nodded his head and then stood up.
After her leaving, Sherry said to Elaine who was looking in the direction of the door, âElaine, what are you looking at?â
Elaine immediately withdrew her gaze and violently shook her head, âNothing... Iâm pondering when they will serve the dishes. Iâm a bit hungry.â
Stella said, âI ordered some snacks and they will be served on the table soon.â
A bright smile immediately showed up on Elaineâs face as she said, âOkay!â
Judging from her reaction, it seemed like she was really hungry and was looking at the door anxiously, waiting for the dishes.
...
Outside of the hot pot restaurant...
The driver parked the car and Winnie put on her black peaked cap and a mask.
After getting out of the car, she looked around and found many people in the surroundings, yet she didnât spot Channing.
Winnie took out her phone and prepared to send a message to Channing. Right at this moment, someone grasped her wrist.
Channing said, âThereâre many people here. We can come to the back door.â
Winnie subconsciously let out a concise answer and followed behind him. After taking several steps, she finally realized that he was still gripping her wrist.
Winnie moved her lips trying to say something. When she prepared to withdrew her hand, several boys and girls came towards them.
Holding Winnieâs hand, Channing pulled her aside to evade the group of people.
Being distracted, Winnie forgot this matter and sneaked into the hot pot restaurant through the back door.
Maybe it was because there were few people in the corridor, it was excessively quiet. Channing finally came to his sense. He slightly moved his slender fingers and then slowly withdrew his hand.
Winnie immediately asked, âWhen did your sister come back from Riverside?â
Her question tactfully alleviated the awkwardness.
Channing replied, âShe came back yesterday.â
âIs Mr. Conrad going to have dinner with us?â
âNope,â Channing paused and then asked, âYou donât want to have the meal with him?â
Winnie chuckled awkwardly, âNot exactly. For the gatherings for me and my friends after work, it will be better if my boss is not present.â
Channing replied, âRest assured. He wonât come.â
Winnie patted her chest, âThatâs so great. I will attend the recording of a variety show several days later. And Iâm afraid that he may raise many questions.â
Channing asked after being silent for several silent, âWhen will you leave?â
Winnie was bewildered, âWhat?â
âDidnât you say that you have to attend the recording of a variety show several days later? When will you go there?â
âOh, they havenât decided the exact time. I have to deal with other work in these two days and it hasnât been decided.â
Channing slightly pressed his lips together and didnât say anything else.
Winnie continued, âWhat about you? Are you on your summer holiday?â
âAlmost. I will have the last examination tomorrow.â
Winnie was stunned and asked, âDonât you need to review the subject?â
Channing replied, âNo need.â
Winnie couldnât help complimenting him in her heart: is this the strength of a Straight-A student?
After taking several steps, she asked another question, âThen... Will your company arrange work for you when your summer holiday begins?â
She also heard that Channing refused to attend any talent show before and that his requirement to the company was to arrange his work on holidays since he still wanted to place priority on his study.
This was good. He was still young and he could take the working experience in the entertainment community as a kind of advanced social practice.
For people who had a high IQ like him, it would be a waste of talent if he chose to become a star. It would be a pity.
Channing replied after a while of silence, âYes, they arranged it.â

After all, Iâve been in the entertainment industry for many years and Iâm not only a friend like your sister, but also a senior. Iâm confident to say that I know about this industry better than you.â
Channing pressed his thin lips together and groaned an answer lightly. He didnât say anything else.
They soon arrived at the private room.
Channing said, âYou go in first.â
Winnie turned around and asked in confusion, âWhat about you?â
