Chapter 5

Seraphina chose the most luxurious private club in Sunburst City, Enchanted Petals Club, to treat Balch to a

meal.

Seraphina wore a tight dark green skirt and a pair of beautiful black heels, looking like an elf in flowers.

As a waiter led her down the club restaurant’s hallway, Seraphina’s phone started buzzing.

It took her a while to recover, then she slowly said to Balch on the other end of the phone, Well, since I was treating you tonight, if you’re not coming, then you owe me a dinner.
