Lila was decked out in a black and white tracksuit, hat, and mask, looking like she was ready to rob a bank. โIs she heading out?โ Elizabeth wondered.
Rebecca chimed in, โThis whole mess is Lilaโs fault, but Mr. Getty took the heat for her. Iโm dragging Lila to treat Mr. Getty to a meal. Since weโre all buddies, Ms. Percy, why donโt you tag along?โ
Elizabeth blinked, a bit taken aback. Lila nodded eagerly and latched onto Elizabethโs arm, practically begging her to come.
โAlright,โ Elizabeth shrugged.
They picked a swanky private restaurant on the thirtieth floor. The place was super exclusive; they could zip up from the underground parking lot without bumping into a soul. As soon as the elevator doors slid open, they were at the restaurantโs entrance. A waiter led them inside, took a left, and pointed to a room.
โThanks,โ Rebecca nodded, dismissing the waiter. Rebecca knocked, and Kieranโs muffled voice came from inside, โCome in.โ
The door swung open, and Elizabeth and Lila saw Kieran chilling in the middle of the room. He was rocking a black suit, looking all business. Lila peeled off her mask and hat. Rebecca nudged her in front of Kieran. Kieran lounged on the sofa, while Lila stood there, her expression indescribable.
Rebecca shot Lila a stern look. โApologize to Mr. Getty.โ Kieran raised an eyebrow at Lila.
Honestly, this was a tough pill for Lila to swallow. Lila had a fiery temper. Especially since she couldnโt stand Kieran, apologizing to him was like pulling teeth. But yeah, this mess was on her.
โSpit it out!โ Rebecca gently nudged Lilaโs arm. Elizabeth sat across from Kieran, way more chill than Lila. Stars gotta listen to their agents, no choice there. Lilaโs eyes met Kieranโs, then darted down, spotting a hickey on his neck.
Lila was speechless.

Kieran waited patiently, thinking Lila was just struggling to find the words. Lila had rehearsed her apology and thank-you speech a million times, but seeing that hickey threw her off completely. She was fuming inside. Why does it have to be Kieran?
Rebecca sighed and nudged Lila again. Lila frowned and blurted out, โMr. Getty.โ
โForget it,โ Kieran cut her off. For someone as proud as Lila, apologizing was brutal. Lilaโs words were cut short by Kieran. Her eyelashes fluttered, and Kieran said, โBig star, have a seat.โ
Even though Kieran interrupted her, Lila still wanted to say, โIโm sorry for causing you trouble.โ Kieran paused and looked up at Lila. She was genuinely sincere.
Kieran smiled, โItโs no big deal. I donโt mind at all.โ
โIf you need any compensation,โ Lila started, but he interrupted, โWhat about you? I donโt want you offering yourself as repayment.โ
Lila was speechless. Elizabeth propped her face on her hand, glaring at Kieran. โKieran, quit flirting with her.โ
Kieran cleared his throat and turned to Rebecca. โRebecca, weโre all friends here. No need to be so uptight. Letโs grab a bite and chill.โ
โAll friends? Thatโs perfect!โ Rebecca laughed, finally relaxing a bit. After all, this was Kieran, and the Getty Group was a big deal. If they ticked off the Getty Group, Lilaโs career could be toast.
โSit down,โ Kieran glanced at Lila. Lila wanted to sit next to Elizabeth, but Rebecca had already snagged that spot. So, the only seat left was next to Kieran. Lila hesitated for a split second and then sat down. Rebecca kept giving Lila looks.
Lila picked up a teacup and tried to act all gentle. โMr. Getty, I apologize to you.โ
