Chapter 615
“Don’t fight over it, guys,” a crisp, bright voice rang out from the gazebo ahead.
A woman in a short red dress with a high ponytail looked at them with a wild, carefree smile. “I won’t trouble you all. I brought my darling Serena here, so naturally, I’ll be taking her home p>
Serena glanced at her best friend twirling the car keys and let out a soft chuckle. She turned back to the small group. “Alright, this is far enough p>
The men shot Black Jack a slightly resentful glare before reluctantly taking their leave.
Black Jack threw an arm over Serena’s shoulders. “I didn’t expect Demon to be so popular in Elyndor p>
She only knew that Demon had started some jewelry brand and turned it into a top- tier international label. It was insanely impressive.
But she had never really looked into the details.
“I heard them talking in the audience earlier. They said one of your design drafts starts at tens of millions of dollars?” Black Jack’s eyes sparkled as she rested her head on Serena’s shoulder. “If your stuff is worth that much, why are we even still running missions? You could sketch a design in an hour. You could churn out a masterpiece every day if you wanted. With the right marketing, we’d be printing our own money by sunset p>
Just the thought of it.
Made Black Jack’s eyes light up with greed.
So much money p>
It was way more than they made risking their lives on missions!
Serena raised a hand, pressing it against her friend’s head to push her away.
“You’re wide awake, Hazel. Quit daydreaming,” Serena deadpanned.
Black Jack clicked her tongue, shooting her a playful, exaggerated glare. “I won’t argue with you. It’s getting late, and I bet your mom has a ton of good food waiting for us! I’m going to grab my ride and take you home p>
“You just inhaled enough food for three grown men,” Serena deadpanned. “And you’re still thinking about eating p>
“There are only two things in this world that will never betray you: good food and money!” Black Jack blew her a kiss and hurried toward the parking lot to get her motorcycle.
Serena was admittedly feeling a bit exhausted.
Crossing her arms, she leaned against a pillar and closed her eyes to rest while she waited.
“Serena p>
Suddenly, a voice called out, dropping into a smooth, sultry register that was clearly meant to charm.
Serena opened her eyes and saw Adrian walking toward her.
The man had clearly taken the time to freshen up. He wore an expensive his hair perfectly styled

When he saw her looking his way, a flash of undeniable awe crossed his face.
“I never expected you to be Queen p>
He stopped in front of her, gazing down with eyes swirling with intense emotion First Skye, and now Queen. Youve really given me incredible surprise. Just how many more secrets are you hiding from me?” sŵnovels

Adrian stared at her intently.
Her bare, makeup-free face looked stunningly ethereal and delicate in the
moonlight.
He had always thought she was beautiful p>
But for some reason, he used to find her beauty dull and uninteresting.
But now.
The more he looked at her, the more his heart fluttered.
She was stirring something deep inside him.
Making it impossible for him to tear his eyes away.
