Chapter 62

"I brought my aunt over!" Ivan boasted, looking for some praise.

Katniss was totally baffled, thinking, How did she end up being his aunt?

Felix quickly covered Ivan's mouth with a grin, "How about we go get some yummy cake?"

Ivan's eyes lit up, and he eagerly nodded, following Felix without a second thought.

With just the two of them left, Katniss broke the silence, "What a coincidence, Maximilian. You having dinner here too?"

"Yeah, my grandpa and the others are upstairs," Maximilian replied, his hands resting on his legs as he glanced behind her. "Who are they?"

Katniss turned to see Kieran and Brenda lingering at the door. She frowned and sneered, "The guy's my cousin's husband, and the woman's his colleague. They're supposedly here on business, but who knows what they're really up to!" They were way too cozy to be here for 'business' only.

Seeing Katniss's cheeks puff up in anger, Maximilian chuckled, "Need any help?"

Katniss's eyes darted around, "Can I save that offer for later? Just in case?"

"Of course." Maximilian agreed without hesitation, making Katniss smile genuinely, "Thanks, Maximilian. You're so kind, you'll definitely live a long life!"

Maximilian smiled and looked down quietly.

Katniss seemed to have a thing for wishing him a long and healthy life.

At the entrance, Brenda watched in confusion as Kieran, moments away from being tossed out, suddenly puffed up his chest and acted like he owned the place.

The owner of the Starry Night Hotel wasn't someone to mess with; even powerful people avoided trouble here.

Otherwise, they would've dealt with Katniss at the door, but they couldn't make a move at the Starry Night Hotel.
