Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 367 Want to Treat Me?

Violeta would sign autographs for the fans every day after work before returning to the hotel. When Zoren found out that Violeta had gone to Newham, she messaged her on WhatsApp. 'Vio, you're in Newham. Why not take the opportunity to visit Hade as well?'

Oh, right, Hayden is also in Newham.

Violeta realised this only later.

She replied to the message: 'I've been quite busy lately. He should be busy too, right?'

Zoren: 'I don't know how busy he is, but he should have time for a meal.'

It's been a long time since I've seen Hayden.

Violeta hesitated for a moment.

After returning to the hotel, she sent a text message to Hayden.

'Are you busy? I'm in Newham now. Want to treat me?'

Only someone like her would say that.

She was going out of her way to ask someone to treat her.

Violeta, though, didn't sense anything was off. After all, Hayden had previously promised to treat her to fondue.

This isn't considered begging, right?

After Violeta sent the message, she removed her makeup and showered.

Twenty minutes had passed since she'd finished her shower and exited the bathroom with Hayden's response. There were two very brief messages.
