Chapter 57
Eliza chatted with the person who was supposed to help her for an entire afternoon. This was not
because they shared things in common, but because the person’s replies were too slow! Every time she
sent a message, Eliza waited until she almost fell asleep before receiving a reply. After thinking for a
while, she felt that this person from the Thunder Company must be quite old. He was probably at least in
his fifties. Otherwise, how could his responses and typing be so slow? That was why Eliza made sure to
address him formally and respectfully. “What you mean is that you care about her.” In the villa of the
Valentine family in Krine, Demarion was monitoring his father’s phone using his computer while lecturing
him softly, “Daddy, you are really old fashioned. This is a sign of interest!” Beau paused for a moment
before referring to Eliza formally in his reply too. Eliza, who had received his message, was terrified. How
could she bear to be referred to so formally by someone older than her? “I’m flattered,” she replied. She
exchanged a few more messages with him carefully. After confirming the procedure of the audition, she
hurriedly bid him farewell. After putting down the phone, Eliza let out a long sigh of relief. For some
reason, she felt that this Mr. Valentine she had been messaging was a little strange. By the time she put
down her phone, it was getting dark outside. Graciana, who had been trapped in the room for the whole
day, suggested going downstairs to eat. In the evening, they had to attend a show at Sea World. They
had to go early to get good seats. Eliza got up from the sofa and stretched lazily. She simply tidied

on his door. “He didn’t see you yesterday and went to Sea World to look for you. Shouldn’t you say
something to him?” Eliza hesitated for a moment before raising her hand to knock on the door. Actually,
she was not too happy for Graciana and Beau to eat together. Beau was too aloof and arrogant. Apart
from being gentle to her occasionally, he was always cold to others. She was afraid that Graciana would
feel uncomfortable. But since Graciana had suggested it, so Eliza had no choice but to do it. Before long,
the door opened. Beau stood at the door, tall and straight. “Is something the matter?” “Yes.” Eliza raised
her head and looked into his bottomless eyes. “Let’s have dinner together?” Beau frowned and remained
silent for a while, then nodded. Graciana almost jumped up in excitement. She could finally have dinner
with Beau! Graciana was excited, thinking that Beau would definitely look down on the small restaurant
that she and Eliza liked. He would definitely take them to a fancy restaurant! And then, he would be the
one paying the bill! When Graciana thought of this, she was filled with joy. She had never eaten dinner
with the upper class! “What are we eating?” After getting into the elevator, Beau asked. Eliza paused and
turned to look at him. “What would you like to eat?” Beau’s voice was still soft. “Whatever you like.”
Graciana hurriedly winked at Eliza. Her intention was to get Eliza to cooperate with her and arrange it so
that Graciana could go to a high-end restaurant to experience something new. But when Eliza saw this,
she understood a different meaning. Graciana smiled. “Okay, I’ll take you to eat at a diner tonight.”
Graciana was stunned. That wasn’t the plan! A person of Beau’s status could not eat at a diner! Wasn’t it
better to go to a high-end restaurant together!
Hence, she desperately gave Eliza a look, hoping that Eliza would change her mind. But Eliza smiled
and said, “Graciana said that she’s buying tonight.” Graciana was at a loss for words. When did she say
that she would buy them dinner! Beau calmly turned to look at Graciana and smiled. “Thank you, Miss
Ryan.” “No… no need to thank me. I want to.”
The three of them left the hotel together and went to the diner. Beau, dressed in a black suit, sat at a
table in the diner. His coldness and pride were strange in such a place. However, there was an unusual
kind of beauty in the contrast. Beau fiddled with his phone in an elegant and noble manner. Anyone who
passed by him would turn around to look at him. – Eliza also couldn’t help but glance at him a few more
times. The waitress brought the menu. Just as Eliza was about to order, her phone chimed. It was a
message from Mr. Valentine: “Have you finished your meal?” Eliza pursed her lips and quickly replied,
“I’m preparing to eat.” “What about you, sir?” “I’m ordering food.” “What a coincidence! I’m also ordering
food. Hahaha.” “Eliza, stop looking at your phone.” Graciana put on a generous look. “It’s my treat
tonight. You two don’t have to be polite with me!” Eliza quickly put down her phone. Just as she picked
up the menu, her phone chimed again. She could only pick up her phone again to reply. Graciana’s lips
twitched. “What kind of message is more important than eating?” “That Mr. Valentine from this afternoon.”

D Eliza’s brows twitched as she replied. She complained, “The guy was so formal and professional with
me this afternoon.” “But just now he asked what I’m having for dinner!” Graciana subconsciously glanced
at Beau at the other end of the table who was also fiddling with his phone. Seeing that he had noticed
them, she lowered her voice and said in Eliza’s ear,
“Does that old man have a crush on you?” “It’s not impossible…” Eliza’s brows furrowed tightly.
Otherwise, why would a man in his fifties chat with her at dinnertime? “But he’s after the wrong person.”
Eliza curled her lip. “Even if I have to give up this role, I won’t give him a chance.” After that, she took out
her phone and messaged directly. “Mr. Valentine, I’ll have to stop here for now. I am having dinner with
my husband.” “My husband is very possessive. He doesn’t like me to look at my phone while I’m eating.”
“So let’s talk when I’m free!” After that, she put down her phone and turned around to order her food. As
they ordered, Mr. Valentine did not send any more messages. But as soon as Eliza finished, her phone
chimed again. It was Mr. Valentine again. “You’re married?” “Yes, I’m married.” “Do you have a good
relationship with your husband?” “Yes, a very good one!” Eliza clenched her teeth. She raised her head
and silently looked at Beau who was sitting lazily and was earnestly fiddling with his phone. “My husband
loves me to death. He gets upset when he doesn’t see me for a day… He is not only possessive, but
also very clingy. He is with me every day, and feeds me when we eat…”
To prevent this “Mr. Valentine” from having any improper thoughts about her, Eliza deliberately
exaggerated the relationship between her and Beau. Beau smiled. 2 His wife was more interesting than
he thought. Before long, the food was served. Beau elegantly put away his phone and very sweetly put a
piece of pork rib into Eliza’s mouth. “Does this count as feeding you?”
