Chapter 469

The moment Stella saw the two people sitting in the private dining room, her expression froze.

Haynes and Rachel.

Behind her, Lauretta noticed Stella had stopped at the doorway and asked in surprise, “Star, is something wrong?"

Snapping out of it, Stella replied calmly, "It's nothing."

With that, she stepped into the room.

Rachel's face registered clear surprise when she saw Stella walk in.

“Stella? What are you doing here?"

Rachel was certain she hadn't invited Stella tonight. Her invitation had been for Lauretta a renowned pianist, a celebrity alumna from Neo-Vespera University's Hall of Fame, and a fellow Novaris native. They were both alumni and from the same country, which made conversation easy and the invitation all the more natural.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Rachel never would have managed to invite a pianist of Lauretta's caliber, even if they were schoolmates. It was only thanks to Haynes' help that she'd been able to pull it off.
