“Crimson House is an internationally popular restaurant chain. I know the boss well and he has arranged a seat for us.”
Upon hearing that there was delicious food to eat, Sophia was excited. She left the dogs at the pet shop before making her way to Crimson House.
Crimson House came with high ceilings that made the restaurant appear vast and grandiose; even the dishes looked extremely expensive to be eaten. Sarah seemed unfazed by it and generously ordered more than ten dishes to be shared by the three of them.
As soon as the menu was handed out to them, she excitedly announced before leaving, “Hang on for a minute. Let me bring a friend over.”
Sophia stared at the big, black dog, wondering whether its name was Corrado. True enough, its collar revealed the truth—it really was Corrado.
Corrado immediately took a liking to Sophia, as if she was an old friend whom he had not seen in years. He lunged forward to give her a big sloppy kiss but was stopped in time by Tyrell.
When they finished eating at the Crimson House, they left the restaurant and walked around the area to purchase lipsticks, shoes, and an assortment of items before returning to the cat cafe—where they were supposed to meet Stanley to discuss the adoption of the dogs.
Upon their return, Sophia noticed that there was another luxury brand for pets called King, situated not far away from Pourl. This is odd—the same type of company has opened another store at such a close distance. This must have been deliberate…
They were now back at the cat cafe where she asked for a glass of plain water once they were seated at a table. Fearing that Sarah would see her scarred face, she angled her face to the side and gulped her water.
Sarah was warm and animated when she talked with Sophia about the trendiest shades of lipstick, most fashionable purses and clothes in the market and more. Sarah was mostly up to date with Bayside City’s most fashionable things—mainly because her luxury brands for pets started to manufacture the equivalent for humans as well. So, having a fashion sense was a necessity for her.
Sophia found it interesting to listen to Sarah speaking and continuously nodded her head to what the latter mentioned. The two ladies were so engrossed in their conversation that Linus felt like he could not interrupt, so he decided to excuse himself to the restroom to make a call.
When Sarah finished talking about the packaging of lipstick, she changed the conversation topic to that of her husband. “My husband managed to secure the Academy Award for Best Actor winner but chose to retire from the movie industry. Sigh… It’s such a huge loss to Cethos’ film industry!”
The look on Sarah’s face resembled someone in a dreamy daze as she spoke of her husband—like a child who was starstruck at the sight of their idol.
Sophia took out her phone and tapped on it before putting it down. “Do you know who Taylor Murray is?” she asked.
“Of course I know who he is. He was my husband’s golden partner when they were both actors—the national couple!” Sarah exclaimed as she covered her face with her hands to hide her flushed cheeks while reminiscing about the time when Taylor and Ethan were both in her life…
Sophia gave Sarah’s words a thought before typing on her phone. “My father said that Taylor Murray is a pervert.”
As Sarah stared at the text, she felt a flash of anger, but quickly calmed herself and explained, “He isn’t a pervert—at least not in the same way as my husband! How can Taylor even be considered a pervert?”
The year after Taylor died, a large number of media outlets wanted to discover where his grave was located—they were desperate enough to even want to get a shot of the headstone where he was buried.
He allegedly passed away without any announcement—there was no memorial service, a funeral, an explanation or even a news report on his death. A handful of idiotic news outlets even went as far as to retrieve his old posts in desperation to create false news when there was nothing to report on. Soon, they soon spread unverified information about him. It was appalling to fathom that the media wanted to even monetize a person’s death.
It was a pity that Michael had stopped caring altogether by that stage. Taylor no longer existed in the world and Michael could care less on what the media wanted to report.
