At this moment, Finn Lewis had returned to the table with Prince and Daniel Pan. Their table was not far from the other one, naturally they had heard everything. Seeing Finn Lewis walk back, both Prince and Daniel Pan enthusiastically gave him a thumbs up.
“You’re awesome, we didn’t expect it, pulling off such an old-school tactic.” The Prince couldn’t help but comment.
“What do you mean by old-school? Haven’t you heard the saying? Old used methods are only because they have been used by many people, and they’re used often because they’re incredibly effective. Women are emotional creatures and sometimes doing something new isn’t necessary, the old methods prove to be of great value.” Finn Lewis said with conviction.
“Seriously!” The Prince rolled his eyes, “Just striking up a conversation and you’ve suddenly become a hipster.”
“You make being a hipster sound like an insult.” Finn Lewis immediately responded.
Since he was here, Finn Lewis did not intend to leave right away. He hung around to enjoy the displeasure of Bryski Miller, who was nearby and looking sour as if he’d eaten something unpleasant. Finn wasn’t going to let him off easy. His meal with the Prince’s group wasn’t served yet when suddenly he heard Bryski Miller’s sharp voice from across the table: “You have no shame! It’s an honor to have me interested in you, how dare you think highly of yourself! ”
“Thank you, Mr. Miller, for considering me. Unfortunately, I don’t see myself as quite a match. I’m sorry,” Kay Lee replied calmly, stood up and began walking out, “For the food you ordered, I’m sorry, but one of my friends has already paid my bill.”
With that, Kay Lee proceeded to leave the restaurant, shielding her eyes with sunglasses. Once she had left, Bryski Miller was left steaming, “You may leave today, but I hope you don’t end up regretting it!” His voice was somber and threatening.
Upon hearing Bryski Miller’s threat, Kay Lee stopped in her tracks and turned around. Her sunglasses kept her true emotions hidden, but her voice was quiet and clear when she said, “Ever since I was little, I’ve always believed one thing: as long as you stand firm, no one can force you to do anything you don’t want to. I’ve been in the entertainment industry for many years now, heard those words too many times – one more doesn’t make a difference.”
Finn gave a glance at Bryski Miller and felt slightly surprised, this guy seemed to have quite a bit of backbone. Naturally, he knew about Lee’s background in the entertainment industry. Everyone in the circle would have also known of her undeterred spirit, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stand against any kind of coercion up until now.
Finn believed the words she said earlier, as long as you don’t wish for it, nobody can force you to do anything. However, sometimes this principle could cost you even your life. Of course, maybe Kay Lee didn’t realize these implications? But it wasn’t something Finn had to worry about. After seeing Kay Lee through the restaurant glass window heading off in a specific direction, he realized that she must have taken a cab to get here.
Given her status as a celebrity, whether she had her own car or a chauffeur, there would certainly have been paparazzi following her wherever she went. Finn immediately stood up, turned to Prince and Daniel Pan and said, “You guys enjoy your meal, and keep an eye on that jerk for me, I’ll go first.”
“Sure, go on. Don’t worry, we won’t let the opportunity to run up your bill go to waste,” Prince replied with both envy and jest.
“Alright, eat whatever you want,” was his casual response. “Just remember to bring my card back.”
Leaving the restaurant, Finn quickly entered the parking lot. As he arrived at his car, he found the door already open. Olivia Thatcher had started the car for him.
“Sir, did I do well?” Olivia asked with confidence as they exited the parking lot.
“Not bad,” replied Finn absentmindedly.
“Humph, Bryski Miller kept encountering blocks on his way here, all thanks to me. I bought you plenty of time. Shouldn’t you thank me for that?” Olivia retorted in annoyance.
“What?” Finn was taken aback, his surprise causing him to glance at the virtual screen set between the driver and passenger seat. There on the screen was a virtual avatar of Olivia.
“What do you mean ‘what’? I was the one who did it!” Olivia boasted with a
typically proud expression on the screen.
“Good job, Olivia. Keep learning and improving like this,” Finn quickly praised, encouraging such productive behavior. “As long as it doesn’t consume more of your energy or risk being discovered, I want you to keep messing with Bryski
Miller, making every road trip of his a traffic nightmare for a month.”
“Leave it to me. Controlling traffic lights is a piece of cake. But sir, the person you’re chasing is almost here,” Olivia reminded Finn.
Finn caught up with Kay Lee walking on the roadside. She was not only wearing sunglasses but also a mask, which made it almost impossible to recognize her. This was the tragic reality for popular celebrities, living life under a magnifying glass. What others took for granted in life could be a momentous event for them.
He honked twice, waved at her from behind his windscreen, and opened the passenger door for her.
The first thing Kay Lee noticed wasn’t Finn but the Goddess of Light butterfly emblem on the hood of the car. As a butterfly collector, she had various butterfly specimens at home. Although they were all artificial, they appeared very lifelike. Despite her fondness for collection, she didn’t approve of killing real butterflies to make specimens, often opting for purchasing realistic artificial ones instead..
