The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 224

Citrine hadn't been kidding when she said she'd take Weston out for a good time. When dinner rolled around, Weston told the driver not to bother picking him up. After they finished their meal out, Citrine led Weston straight to an arcade. Standing at the entrance, Weston eyed the neon lights and blaring music with deep suspicion, his brows knitted tight as he instinctively took a few steps back.

"What on earth are you dragging me to a place like this for?" he grumbled, clear disdain in his voice. "It's noisy, crowded-exactly the sort of place that attracts all the wrong people."

Citrine couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Oh, come on. It's just an entertainment center. All the young folks hang out here these days."

Weston scoffed. "No respectable person wastes time in places like this. If you've got time to kill, you should be learning how to run a company, not frittering away your future on mindless games."

His prejudice ran deep, and Citrine knew better than to expect him to change overnight.
