Chapter 1558
One day, just as Vicky was about to leave work, Aurora called and invited her to dinner.
The two of them often had dinner together, so Vicky did not think much of it and headed to the
designated restaurant.
The restaurant was the hottest upscale Western restaurant in Stoneford City, and it was always fully
booked, requiring reservations several days in advance to secure a spot. Vicky had been there a few
times before, and the food was indeed excellent. Nonetheless, getting a reservation was quite the feat.
As she entered the restaurant, Aurora, sitting by the window, waved at her. âVicky, over here!â
Vicky walked over and noticed that a young, handsome man was seated with Aurora. He looked
somewhat familiar, but Vicky could not recall where she might have seen him before.
âAurora, who is this?â Vicky began.
âGilbert Dyer, my senior back in acting school.â Aurora introduced them. âGilbert, this is my good friend,
Vicky.â
As Gilbertâs eyes landed on Vicky, they brightened for a moment. He then stood up and extended his
hand with a smile. âYou are even more beautiful than in the photos, Ms. Shaw.â
After politely shaking Gilbertâs hand, Vicky asked curiously,â Mister Dyer, have we met before?â
Gilbert explained with a smile, âAurora often posts our group photos on her social media. Half the
people at our agency recognize you.â
âTrue, true,â Aurora chimed in. âThey keep asking me about the beautiful girl in the photos and even
want your phone number.â She winked at Vicky. âMy manager even approached me privately, asking if
youâre interested in becoming a celebrity.â
Vicky was indeed stunning. Coupled with her great personality, single men would seek her contact
information every time Aurora posted photos of them together.
Of course, Aurora never mentioned any of this to Vicky as she could tell that Vicky had no interest in
dating at the moment. On top of that, Harvey was subtly pursuing Vicky.
However, four years had passed, and Vicky had not shown any intention of starting anew.
Tylerâs absence could have been accepted, but since he was back, Aurora did not know if he would
pester Vicky again. Adding Averyâs scheming nature into the equation, Aurora feared for what could be
on the horizon.
She could not help but feel that a change was needed.
As the saying goes, the quickest way to forget an old relationship would be to start a new one.
Vicky had not been able to let go of her past completely in these four years, so perhaps she needed a
new romantic interest to shift her focus.
With these thoughts in mind, Aurora carefully chose her senior, Gilbert, among those who were
interested in Vicky.
Suddenly, Vicky spoke, âMister Dyer, were youâ¦the recently acclaimed rising star?â
Vicky recalled all of a sudden that Gilbert was the most famous actor of the year, and his face was all
over the streets.
Aurora nodded. âYeah. Heâs sort of my senior in acting school.â
Vicky glanced around and asked, âIs it okay for him to come out here and dine with us? Wonât the
paparazzi come after him?â
âItâs fine,â Aurora replied nonchalantly. âGilbert focuses on his work, not his popularity, so he has never
been involved in a single scandal before. He is thirty this year and doesnât even have a girlfriend. All his
fans are worried about his happiness.â She chuckled and added, âHis fans even tried messaging the
actresses who worked with him before, asking if theyâre interested in dating him.â
