Chapter 484:

Myron positioned himself beside the sleek vehicle, his warm smile radiating genuine pleasure as he welcomed them both, carefully cradling a specialized pet carrier that housed his beloved plush feline companion. The cat responded to their approach with an endearing “meow” that seemed perfectly timed. Ari’s eyes immediately transformed into brilliant pools of wonder and delight.

Millie found Ari’s enthusiastic reaction utterly charming and endearing. During previous encounters, Myron had attempted to capture Millie’s affections through this same charming feline strategy. While she had remained completely unmoved, Ari had fallen completely under the cat’s irresistible spell. They approached the car with eager steps and settled comfortably into the luxurious interior.

Once they were safely inside, Myron carefully released the cat from its temporary confinement. The intelligent creature, fully aware of its enchanting purpose, rolled onto its back in invitation for gentle strokes. Positioned on the vehicle’s rear bench sat an enormous, impossibly soft plush toy that doubled as the most luxurious cushion imaginable.

Ari cast a questioning glance toward Millie, who responded with an encouraging nod of approval. This prompted Ari to naturally gravitate toward the cat and embrace it with tender affection.

Millie found herself genuinely amazed by the seamless interaction unfolding before her eyes.

“We’ve encountered this little one a handful of times already, yet we never got to ask about its name,” Millie said to Myron with genuine amusement dancing in her voice.

“Its name is Kiki, though Jayceon had originally lobbied for the name Fatty. But I believed Kiki possessed far more elegant appeal,” Myron explained with obvious fondness.

Millie’s smile blossomed as she nodded her wholehearted agreement with his choice. The small group ventured out together to share an evening meal. Millie couldn’t suppress her growing amusement at their evolving pattern; they had originally agreed to meet just once a week, yet now their encounters seemed to occur with increasing frequency.

“This is just a casual night out with Ari, but I have developed elaborate plans for our weekly rendezvous,” Myron declared, directing his knowing smile directly at her. “That’ll be our date night, and I intend to surprise you beyond your expectations.”

Millie studied his expression with growing curiosity before offering a thoughtful nod of acknowledgment. She found herself genuinely beginning to look forward to whatever he had planned.

While the harmonious trio savored their pleasant evening together, Brandon and Vivian’s dinner unfolded under a suffocating cloud of unmistakable tension. Shortly afterward, Brandon escorted Vivian back to her residence before proceeding to Blue Lounge, honoring Darden’s invitation that he had accepted earlier in the day.

Tonight, Darden had deliberately chosen not to invite any additional company; the evening belonged exclusively to the two of them and their shared solitude over drinks.

The dance floor below them pulsed with vibrant energy, filled with countless people moving rhythmically to the hypnotic, pounding music. Yet the two men consumed their alcohol in heavy, oppressive silence. Both men carried the weight of their respective troubles, which weighed down their spirits like anchors.
