“That man in the black jacket seems a bit like… Ryan?”

Ashley looked closely, but Bradley had got in the car, and she could not longer make out his features clearly.

Is it someone with a similar build?’ she wondered.

Miranda sighed regretfully, “I wanted to introduce you to Bradley, but his team had a sudden issue, and he had to leave.”

Pondering. Ashley raised her eyebrows and smiled, “No worries. He is in the game tomorrow, right? I’ll see him then.”

Miranda wrapped her arms around Ashley’s. “Right, we’ll catch him. tomorrow then!”

Then, they got into Lester’s car.

Seeing the man in the driver’s seat, Miranda greeted him awkwardly. “Hello, Mr. Pliskin.”

Lester’s hand rested casually on the steering wheel, strong and veined, exuding a sense of allure. He glanced at Miranda through the rearview mirror. “Hello.”

Ashley was sitting in the backseat next to Miranda.

Miranda leaned close to Ashley and whispered, “Ashley, I forgot to mention at the charity dinner last time that your friend is so handsome! He could be a star!”

Ashley couldn’t help but laugh. “How does he compare to that race car driver, Bradley?”

After a moment of thought, Miranda replied, “Mr. Pliskin is still more handsome. Oh! And Mr. Kingsley could be a star as well. He’s like the definition of handsome!”

The image of Valentin’s charming face flashed in Ashley’s mind.

Miranda wasn’t exaggerating. Valentin, indeed, was very attractive.

As they were quietly chatting, Ashley’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Valentin.

As Ashley discussed him, he called, suddenly making her feel guilty..

With the sunset nearing the horizon, Ashley replied, “It’s evening, yes, time for dinner.”.

Valentin said. “Remember to eat well.”

Ashley was speechless. “I’m not a child. I know that.”
