The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 508

A week later.

Iris Dream Studio held its grand opening.

Aside from Oliver Cross and Stella, Suzie had specifically invited Chester Lambert.

As for Hayden Wycliffe and Alice Quinn, Suzie had sent an invitation to Alice, making sure to ask her to bring Hayden along.

Ever since she left Timefly Studio, Hayden had dropped by her apartment once to deliver a project and her commission card. Other than that, Suzie and Hayden hadn't met in private.

She had also delegated all subsequent work handovers to Mia.

Therefore, an invitation like this would ensure Alice wouldn't misinterpret anything.

Iris Dream Studio was located in The Arts Quarter, an area comprised almost entirely of standalone two-to-three-story office buildings. The spacing between the buildings was vast, giving the area the exclusive, sprawling layout of a luxury villa estate.

Suzie had her staff guide the guests to the lounge area on the second floor, while she and Mia stood by the door to welcome the others.

Most of the attendees were referrals from Oliver and Stella. Suzie hadn't invited anyone she met at Timefly Studio, as she felt that would be crossing a line and poaching Hayden's clients.

Once it looked like almost everyone had arrived, Suzie leaned close to Mia and whispered, "Is everything sorted at the restaurant?"

Mia nodded vigorously. "Yes. I booked two extra private dining rooms just in case people brought friends and we didn't have enough seats."

"Good. It's about time, let's get ready to head over."

Suzie went to the restroom while Mia ran upstairs to bring the group down.

They were all waiting by the entrance for a few stragglers when suddenly someone in the crowd gasped, "Look outside! There's a massive fleet of luxury cars. They're taking up the entire street!"

The surrounding onlookers instinctively fell silent, all eyes magnetically drawn to him.

He was dressed in an immaculately tailored white shirt and black slacks, his upright posture exuding an innate, powerful authority.

The early autumn sun spilled over him, seemingly plating him in a dazzling layer of gold.

His perfectly styled hair caught the light with a healthy sheen, making his sharp, chiseled facial features look even more striking and flawless.

In short, with that face, that perfect physique, and an unmatched, noble elegance, the man radiated an irresistible charm.

Soon, his slightly narrowed eyes locked onto a certain woman through the crowd. A faint, almost imperceptible smile touched the corner of his lips. He ignored the stares of everyone around him, striding toward her with long legs.

As for Suzie, the moment she saw the man step out of the car, her back instinctively stiffened.
