Chapter 286: Chapter 283: The Same Style

p.m.

Elliana Lyle was already lying on the bed, seeming like she could fall asleep just by closing her eyes. After her interview today, Norman Bennett took her out to eat the hotpot she had been craving.

Since Norman Bennett wasn’t a big fan, she didn’t order much. Strangely, she ended up ordering a giant plate of tribute greens.

In the end, she couldn’t finish the tribute greens.

Not wanting to waste any food, she forced herself to finish the leftover greens.

By the time they returned, it was past 9 p.m. She took a shower first, and now Norman Bennett was still in the bathroom.

The sound of the water running was like a lullaby, making her want to fall asleep first.

Just as she was about to catch the tail end of sleep, her phone buzzed, startling her awake.

Upon checking, it was a message from Luna saying she had arrived in North City and wanted to be picked up.

Back so soon? It really took her by surprise, and suddenly, she was no longer sleepy.

She thought to herself, surely Norman wouldn’t let her go out to pick Luna up. Everywhere she goes, there’s a crowd of bodyguards, making her conspicuous.

The media had portrayed her unfavorably because of the large number of bodyguards.

Others said she was scared, hence the crowd of bodyguards.

So she replied.

Kitty: "Why don’t you take a cab here? Or I could send someone to pick you up."

Luna (Master): "Come out for some spicy hotpot, I’ve been busy for so long, and I’m really craving some tribute greens."

Just mentioning tribute greens made her feel nauseous; she wouldn’t be eating those again this year if she could help it.

Kitty: "Norman Bennett has me on a tight leash, it’s hard for me to go out. I’ve already eaten, so you go ahead. I’ll send someone to get you."

Luna (Master): "No need, I’ll pack some and get a cab over. Don’t you have an extra room? Prepare it for me."

Kitty: "Ok."

Just as she sent the message and got up, Norman Bennett came out of the bathroom. Seeing her getting up, he asked, "What’s up?"

She put on her slippers, stood up, and walked towards the door, saying, "I’m going to get the guest room ready for Luna, she’s staying the night."

Hearing that Luna was coming, the man’s expression subtly turned cold, and his tone carried a bit of command: "Let Lana tidy up, come to bed!"
