Chapter 5

Seraphina chose the most luxurious private club in Sunburst City, Enchanted Petals Club, to treat Balch to a

meal.

Seraphina wore a tight dark green skirt and a pair of beautiful black heels, looking like an elf in flowers.

As a waiter led her down the club restaurant’s hallway, Seraphina’s phone started buzzing.

The hallway was a winding path with a glass floor, surrounded by lush vegetation and unusually quiet. Rarely could she see anyone. Underneath was a deep blue lake, with the moon hanging in the sky and casting a reflection on the water, creating an incredibly romantic scene.

As he moved his hand, the silver cufflinks on his sleeves sparkled. A flick of the lighter lit up his clean, slender hands. The flickering flame revealed his deep.

gaze.
