Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 486

Maurice let out a snort. "Let's just go, all right? If we keep talking, we'll end up killing the conversation."

They had agreed to meet at Elliott's Cozy Room. Maurice arrived in full disguise, hat pulled low and a face mask covering most of his features-clearly paranoid about being recognized.

Nita spotted them from afar and called out, "Well, look who decided to show up! Our superstar's finally graced us with his presence. So, you're treating me tonight, yeah?"

Maurice shot back, "Shouldn't you be the one buying?"

"And why's that?" Nita started rolling up her sleeves, ready for battle.

"Because you sold my pictures and pocketed a tidy sum."

"In your dreams!"

"I don't have to dream. I'm this good-looking in real life."

Nita pulled a dramatic gagging face. "Keep it up and I'll shout your name for

everyone to hear-see how long that disguise lasts."

"Fine, fine, I'll pay! Happy now?" Maurice threw his hands up in surrender. "I finally make it back home-I'd prefer not to die here."

Nita grinned triumphantly. "Good. I'm going all out tonight."
