Chapter 79


    The next day, Seraphina dolled herself up and attended a dinner party organized by Robinson.


    Ever since theirst meet–up, Robinson and Seraphina had been tight, and he had dropped a little


    secret the internationally renowned director, Tanner, was about to cast for his new movie


    Opportunities like this got entertainmentpanies scrambling to get their foot in the door. Blissful


    Entertainment was no exception. They had meticulously orchestrated this dinner party, hoping their


    artists could catch the director’s eye


    Robinson was the driving force behind this dinner party. When he mentioned it to Seraphina, she


    confessed that Tanner was her favorite director, and Robinson immediately extended an invite to her.


    When Seraphina arrived at the restaurant, Tanner was yet to show. Everyone in the private room was


    laid back, but the atmosphere shifted subtly when Seraphina showed up.


    Among the attendees were two leading actresses from Blissful Entertainment – Georgina and Fidelia,


    as well as the leading actor, Tomi. It was a grand


    affair.


    Upon seeing Seraphina, Georgina was a bit taken aback, “Ms. Bet?”


    Seraphina greeted everyone with a smile, then exined, “I heard that Director Tanner would be here


    tonight. He’s a director I truly admire, so I thought I’d drop by. Don’t worry, I’ll try to keep a low profile


    and just observe from a corner.


    Everyoneughed at herment, but it was tinged with a bit of awkwardness.


    Tanner tended to favor naturalism, so his actresses were usually very in, with most of them


    appearing on screen makeup–free. As such, Georgina and Fide had arrived with bare faces, while


    Seraphina was all done up, making the two leading actresses a bit ufortable.


    Where there were women, there waspetition. The emotions around the table were mixed, but on


    the surface, everything was cordial.


    Georgina looked at Seraphina,ughed, and said, “I haven’t seen you around the neighborhoodtely,


    but I’ve seen you twice at dinner parties.


    “Oh, I moved, Seraphina responded, “I no longer live at Rosewood Estates”


    “Why? Didn’t you like living there?” Georgina asked.


    Seraphina thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, “Someone thought that the neighborhood


    had too many celebrities and that reporters might sneak in and it wouldn’t be safe. I didn’t agree, but I


    had to give in.”


    *Mr. Reynolds is clearly trying to get you to move in with him using the neighborhood as an excuse,”


    Georginaughed, “If the security wasn’t good, Fidelia and I wouldn’t have lived there for so many


    years.”


    Hearing that, Seraphina turned to Fidelia, “So Miss Fidelia also lives there? What a coincidence, but


    we’ve never crossed paths.”


    “That’s right,” Fidelia responded, “I don’t really like going out, and I usually leave early ande back


    late from work, so we rarely have a chance to bump into each other”


    “What a pity,” Seraphina said, “I was once neighbors with two big stars.”


    Georgina slowly said, “It doesn’t matter where you live, it’s who you live with that matters. Mr. Reynolds


    is really good to you.”


    “But he’s rough and domineering Seraphina sighed, then her face lit up as if she remembered


    something, “I prefer a man who is gentle and considerate, who thinks from my perspective, who cares


    about my safety, pays attention to my daily life, and tolerates all about me.”


    “Is there really such a man?” Georginaughed. “Howe I’ve never met one?”


    Seraphina alsoughed, “I have.”


    Everyone at the table pretty much knew who Seraphina was talking about, but nobody dared to say it


    out loud.


    After all, she was now Leandro’s fiancée, and even though her rtionship with Balch was still


    ambiguous, nobody dared to point it out.


    They chatted for nearly an hour before Tanner finally arrived. As a big shot director, he had a distinct


    personality and was a man of few words. After a brief chat with the actors, he left twenty minutester.


    Once Tanner left, the crowd seemed a bit deted. Seeing this, Seraphina excused herself to the


    restroom, leaving them some space for private


    discussion.


    In the restroom, she took out a bunch of makeups and leisurely touched up her makeup. Just as she


    was finishing up, Fidelia walked in, nodded at her, and entered a stall

    After a while, Fidelia reappeared, washed her hands, and applied some lipstick next to Seraphina.


    Seraphina watched her in the mirror, “Miss Fidelia, your skin is so good, so smooth and delicate without


    makeup.”


    “Nowhere near as natural as yours, Ms. Bet, Fidelia responded calmly. After a moment of silence,


    she asked, “do you mind if I can ask where you’re living now, Ms. Bet?”


    “Huh?” Seraphina seemed to hesitate for a moment, then replied, “Urban Oasis.”


    Fidelia nodded, “I know that ce. I’ve heard it’s very nice, but how are you adjusting to the sudden


    change in environment?”


    That’s not a problem, Seraphina responded with a smile, “Someone redecorated the house to my taste,


    and I’m pretty adaptable, so I’ve been livingfortably. Are you interested in the houses over there?”


    Fidelia smiled but didn’t answer Seraphina’s question


    Seraphina didn’t mind, she finished applying her lipstick, packed up her stuff, and said to Fidelia, “I’ll


    head out first!”


    Fidelia nodded.


    Seraphina grabbed her bag and turned to leave. Fidelia, after touching up her lipstick and gazing at her


    reflection in the mirror for a while, was about to head out when she noticed something left behind


    where Seraphina had ced her bag.


    It was a small round sensor card.


    That night, Seraphina was chauffeured back to Urban Oasis by Balch’s driver. As they passed


    Leandro’s vi, she noticed several unfamiliar cars parked at the entrance and the lights brightly lit


    inside.


    Seraphina nced a few times, then asked the driver, “Does Mr. Reynolds host parties at his ce?”


    The driver, possibly finding the question a bit awkward, was silent for a moment before answering


    honestly, “Not that I know of”


    Seraphina nodded, gave a lightugh, and didn’t press further.


    Upon entering the house, Balch was not yet home. Seraphina knew he had an important dinner tonight


    and would probablye backte, so she went upstairs to take a bath


    But just as she was halfway through, the bathroom lights suddenly went out.


    Seraphina felt her heart racing. She quickly dried herself off, found her phone, and called Balch.


    “Don’t be scared, Balch’s voice came from the other end of the call, sounding like he was still in the


    middle of dinner. He tried to keep his voice low to shield her from the background noise, “And don’t


    leave the bathroom in case you bump into something in the dark. I’ll send the security over right away”


    Seraphina said okay, and after hanging up, she stayed put in the bathroom, rinsing off the suds on her


    body, then slowly getting dressed.


    And just as she finished putting on her clothes, the light overhead came back on, illuminating the entire


    bathroom.
