Chapter 44<\/p>\n
Ebb & Flow was known for its exclusive vibe, taking in only ten couples each night, which made it perfect for a cozy date night with just a few tables scattered around.<\/p>\n
All eyes turned to Cherise as she walked in, her entrance turning heads and sparking whispers throughout the room.<\/p>\n
Dora leaned in to whisper to Cherise. \u201cThank God Ebb & Flow is exclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before she could finish. \u201cThank U, Next blasted through the speakers, filling the air with its emotional anthem.<\/p>\n
On the couch, Cherise, Dora, and Truman sat with blank expressions like they were watching a bad joke unfold.<\/p>\n
After the song, Xenia took the stage. \u201cLadies and gentlemen, welcome to today\u2019s party. First up, we\u2019re here to celebrate Cherise\u2019s successful breakup. Let\u2019s give her a round of applause!\u201d<\/p>\n
The crowd, not quite sure wha<\/p>\n
Cherise spent four hours in the kitchen, crafting glossy, translucent medicine pills that left her feeling satisfied. She was clueless about the online buzz.<\/p>\n
Picking up her phone, she found a barrage of missed calls, all frpin Xenia. Her brow furrowed, wondering what was up, then she dialed back.<\/p>\n
Xenia picked up on the first ring, cheerfully saying. \u201cFairy Cherise.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNenia, I missed all these calls. Is everything okay? Cherise asked, her voice filled with confusion.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell\u2026 Xenia filled her in on the online drama.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Cherise responded calmly after hearing the story.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, you\u2019re so serene. You have no idea. I\u2019ve been going toe\u2013to\u2013toe with those elueless fans online for hours,\u201d Xenia said. shaking her head in disbelief.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all good. I\u2019ll have Dora handle it,\u201d Cherise said with an air of indifference.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, Fairy Cherise, I couldn\u2019t stand it, so I had my uncle step in Xenia added.<\/p>\n
Then I\u2019ll thank your uncle for me, Cherise replied.<\/p>\n
No worries. He\u2019s coming to the party tonight. You can thank him in person. Alright, I gotta go set up the venue, Xenia said before hanging up.<\/p>\n
two hours until<\/p>\n
After the call ended, Cherise shook her head with a smile. Checking the time, she realized there were st the party. She quickly tidied up, grabbed a bowl of instant noodles, and headed to her closet to pick an outfit.<\/p>\n
She settled on a form\u2013fitting red dress with an off\u2013shoulder design that reached her calves, with a slit at the back that revealed her perfect legs with each step.<\/p>\n
Her wavy brown hair was elegantly pinned up with a simple champagne\u2013colored clip. A few strands of bangs casually were curled and hanging down, showcasing her fair, slender neck, which was undeniably envy\u2013inducing.<\/p>\n
She paired it with high\u2013heeled shoes in the same champagne color as the clip. She had a touch of red lipstick and looked graceful and commanding instantly.<\/p>\n
Exiting the living room, she found Dora already waiting, \u201cTsk, if only I weren\u2019t a woman, Dora remarked, admiring Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled, and they headed to the quiet bar mentioned by Xenia.<\/p>\n
The Ferrari 488 sped down the highway, and soon they arrived at Truman\u2019s quiet bar, Ebb & Flow<\/p>\n
As Cherise and Dora stepped out of the car, they drew a lot of attention. People were struck by Dora\u2019s short hair and excellent temperament, her figure charming and alluring<\/p>\n
However, they had never seen a woman in Betrico as bright yet refined, sexy yet not vulgar as Cherise. She was more beautiful than the stars on TV, uniquely stunning. Elegant and noble, she seemed like an angel, a bit aloof, though.<\/p>\n
The men and women outside Ebb & Flow were so mesmerized that they only realized they had forgotten to take pictures when Cherise and Dora had already entered.<\/p>\n
As they entered Ebb & Flow, a waiter approached them. Xenia had instructed the staff that the most beautiful woman wast<\/p>\n

the guest of honor, so the water recognized Cherise immediately and treated her with great respect.<\/p>\n
Ebb & Flow was different from the usual noisy bars; it was comfortable, with only soft folk songs being sung<\/p>\n
This party style doesn\u2019t seem like something Xenia would want Dora commented. As soon as she finished speaking, she corrected herself, \u201cWell, I was wrong to say that<\/p>\n
Above the fashionable stage full of instruments at Ebb & Flow, there was a long banner. It read, \u201cCongratulations to Cherise, the belle of the ball, on successfully escaping her maina\u2019s boy fianc\u00e9 and starting a new life!\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise put her hand to her forehead, looked at Dora, and whispered, \u201cIs it too late for me to leave?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dora shook her head and said, \u201cI\u2019m afraid it\u2019s too late. Look, here comes Xenia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia, dressed in a sailor uniform with twin tails, ran over, accompanied by Truman, who still looked vibrant and<\/p>\n
handsome.<\/p>\n
Truman\u2019s eyes lingered on Dora for a moment, surprised that Cherise knew Dora from the GlobalVision Group. There was at flicker of surprise in his eyes, but it disappeared quickly.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, you\u2019re here. Look at what I\u2019ve prepared for you. Do you like it?\u201d Xenia beamed with joy.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on. You\u2019ve turned my classy quiet bar into a board meeting. This doesn\u2019t match Cherise at all,\u201d Truman said with a look of disgust.<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled and said, \u201cThank you, Xenia. I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSee? I told you Cherise would love it,\u201d Xenia said, rolling her eyes at Truman.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me introduce everyone. This is Cherise, and no further introduction is needed. This is Dora, a good friend of Fairy Cherise, and her friends are my friends. This is my Uncle Truman.\u201d<\/p>\n
After exchanging greetings, Xenia said, \u201cFairy Cherise, let\u2019s sit inside. There are more surprises coming. Staff, music please!\u201d<\/p>\n

t was going on but figuring it wasn\u2019t wise to mess with the host, clapped along.<\/p>\n
\u201cNext, my uncle Truman will perform \u2018Unstoppable\u201d for Fairy Cherise, hoping she stays strong and faces whatever comes her way. Let\u2019s welcome Truman with a round of applause, Xenia said, grinning from ear to ear.<\/p>\n
Truman, in the audience, was nearly speechless, responding. \u201cWhen did I sign up to sing You never ran this by me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite his complaints, he made his way to the stage. As the music started, Truman\u2019s deep, husky voice captivated everyone<\/p>\n
in the room<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to admit that Truman\u2019s got pipes. No wonder he\u2019s the head of Clusia\u2019s entertainment division, even though his reputation leaves something to be desired,\u201d Dora commented to Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise offered a faint smile. \u201cSeeing is believing she said, thinking that Morris\u2019s friend couldn\u2019t be all bad.<\/p>\n
The song ended with a roar of applause. Truman returned to his seat and asked, \u201cSo, Cherise, did I embarrass you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled warmly and said, \u201cNo, it was beautiful. Thank you And for what you did online yesterday, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I didn\u2019t do much yesterday. Morris handled that. Xenia said he\u2019d be a downer with his poker face, so we didn\u2019t invite him,\u201d Truman said, scratching his head.<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Cherise\u2019s heart skipped a beat, and she realized Morris had been the one to help her.<\/p>\n
Then, Xenia returned to the stage, saying, \u201cNow, for our most thrilling part\u2013our handsome guy fashion show. Are you excited? We\u2019ve got urban professionals, overbearing CEOs, fitness buffs, and cute younger guys\u2013ten styles in total, something for everyone.<\/p>\n
Then the dance music started, and one by one, the models strutted onto the stage, winking in Cherise\u2019s direction<\/p>\n
Cherise and Dora were speechless, knowing they couldn\u2019t rely on Xenia for anything.<\/p>\n
Truman awkwardly laughed and said, \u201cWell, it\u2019s not my department. I just handle the logistics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Finally, the show ended, and the three let out a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
Xenia bounced over, beamed, and asked, \u201cSo, girls, which guy caught your eye?\u201d At that, Cherise and Dora shook their heads.<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh? You don\u2019t like them? Il arrange more models, Xenia said, starting to rise.<\/p>\n
Cherise grabbed her. \u201cXenia, thank you. I\u2019m happy. Sit and rest, Cherise said, feeling grateful for friends like Xenia and<\/p>\n
Dora<\/p>\n
Wed<\/p>\n
Chapter 44<\/p>\n
\u201cLadies, try our new drink at Ebb & Flow,\u201d Truman said, bringing over three attractive drinks.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow, Uncle Truman, they look great!\u201d Xenia exclaimed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, these are specially made for ladies who don\u2019t drink alcohol. Give it a try! Truman said.<\/p>\n
The three women gracefully clinked glasses and took sips.<\/p>\n
Dora took a sip and said, \u201cTangy and sweet, not bad. It\u2019s like juice but not quite, not a cocktail, no alcohol taste\u2013suits<\/p>\n
Cherise.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI like it, too, Xenia agreed.<\/p>\n
Cherise, hearing it suited her and feeling thirsty, took a sip and found it unique. It was like juice with the sweetness of cherries and the tartness of green mangoes, and she took a large gulp.<\/p>\n
\u201cSee? I said you would like it. I created it. There is just one ingredient to balance the cherry sweetness and green mango tartness, so it\u2019s tangy and sweet. Want to know what it is?\u201d Truman said.<\/p>\n
Xenia asked curiously, \u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA little sonfething from your grandpa\u2019s plum wine. Just two milliliters. You can\u2019t taste it, right?\u201d Truman said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d Dora and Xenia shouted in unison, shocked.<\/p>\n
Truman jumped, stammering, \u201cWh\u2013what\u2019s the matter? What\u2019s wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia wilted, saying, \u201cBig problem. Fairy Cherise can\u2019t touch a drop of alcohol, not even half a drop. You said it was for ladies who don\u2019t drink, and you put in two milliliters? We\u2019re in deep trouble now.\u201d<\/p>\n
