"Actually, they're just like Emma and Sailor. They've also received my help and are here to show their gratitude. I have no other relationship with them," Evan explained calmly as he poured oil into the wok to heat it."More talk of favors and gratitude! Just what kind of help did you give them that would make such big stars willingly work as kitchen hands like us?" Bella persisted, still pouting.Ava, too, seemed unsatisfied, her brows remaining furrowed.A perfect arc formed on Evan's lips as he smirked, "Alright, if you insist on knowing the reason, I'll tell you.""Remember that TikTok livestream where someone called Melody Smith wrote songs on the spot, shocking the world? That was me. These celebrities in our restaurant now are the ones I gifted songs to.""This was all part of my plan. Does that clarify things for you? So, my previous explanation still holds true – there's nothing more between us."Bella's face lit up with excitement, and Ava's expression softened into a smile.
"Benefactor? Bella?" The assistant reluctantly opened her computer, when suddenly, a realization struck her. "Could she be searching for the original composer of 'Thick of It'?"To confirm her suspicion, she rewatched the video on Elizabeth's Facebook page. Her excitement grew as she exclaimed, "It is him! The flame tattoo - I remember! Elizabeth's trip to Elysia might be justified after all. We need to maintain good relations with this person, regardless of whether he writes for us again. And I suspect this Elysian singer, Bella, must have a significant connection to him!"However, even with the recognition of the flame tattoo, locating Bella's contact information as Elizabeth requested proved challenging.Bella was signed to Splendid Music, which belonged to Evan. Sean and Devin would never casually disclose their boss's sister's contact details.Half an hour later, Elizabeth's assistant called back from the UA. "I'm sorry, I could only obtain Mr. Sean's contact information from Spl
That night, Ava didn't visit Evan, equally drained from the non-stop work. However, Emma, Sailor, Liza, and the others found themselves too exhilarated to sleep. Their close encounter with Mr. Smith had revealed his handsome dedication and immense talent. Tomorrow promised another chance to be near him. Each silently hoped to leave a lasting impression, perhaps distinguishing themselves in his eyes...As dawn broke, Evan finished his morning routine just after 6 AM and casually drove his Porsche 918 to the restaurant.To his surprise, the celebrity beauties had arrived even earlier. As he approached the back entrance, he saw them waiting, resplendent in their youthful charm.The screech of brakes announced his arrival.The women surged forward, proffering breakfast. "Have you eaten, Mr. Smith? I brought you something.""Hmph, such transparent motives," Bella muttered, clutching the sandwich she and Ava had bought for Evan, glaring at the other starlets.Ava gently reassured her, "It's
"Good heavens, I can scarcely believe it. Is this truly happening?""I'm an Elysian exchange student. My friends back home confirm it's all true - these celebrities are indeed working at a restaurant in Lumina City!""It's legitimate. I've just returned from Elysia, and word is the food is absolutely phenomenal. I'm planning another trip to taste it for myself!"At 2 AM, innumerable netizens across Europe and America were still feverishly commenting online, their fervent discussions dominating every popular forum.The tidal wave of excitement that swept across Europe and America that evening mirrored the frenzy in Elysia, swelling to unprecedented heights. Countless individuals embarked on journeys to Lumina City in Elysia.The influx of travelers presenting passports at customs for visas left officials astounded. "Lumina City again? It seems Elysia's Lumina City has made several big moves this year, each drawing multitudes from abroad!"As travelers from the West made their way to Lu
The door's movement startled Sailor, who instinctively gasped. However, upon recognizing Evan, she quickly stifled her exclamation."My apologies," Evan stammered, hastily closing the door. "I assumed it was locked. The others are waiting downstairs."Heaven knows the restraint required to maintain his composure in the face of such allure.Meanwhile, Sailor gazed at her reflection, a wistful look clouding her eyes. Why had he left so abruptly? Did she not measure up to his standards? Or perhaps she paled in comparison to other starlets?Flushed with embarrassment, she chided herself softly, "What am I thinking? Such foolish notions. If anyone knew, they'd surely mock me. Besides, he's Mr. Smith. If he were to act improperly, would he still be the Mr. Smith I admire?"Oblivious to Sailor's inner turmoil, Evan shook his head ruefully and proceeded to the lit lavatory on the far left.A distinctive click of a lock echoed as Emma heard approaching footsteps."Another unlocked door," Evan
Finally, Adam reached out to every business tycoon in Lumina City. Daisy from Clark Group was particularly elated, promising to bring not only local magnates but also industry giants from across Elysia.When this illustrious group arrived at Evan's restaurant, the ensuing commotion nearly shook Lumina City to its foundations."Unbelievable! After the celebrities, now we've got Michelle, Violet, and Paige?""Look! Isn't that Mariah, the National Talent Show winner?""Holy shit! That's Daisy, CEO of Clark Group, with a whole posse of business moguls. Some of them are on the global rich list!""Are they really here to work at this restaurant?"The new arrivals smiled at the awestruck onlookers before entering the establishment.Evan swiftly assigned tasks and retreated to the kitchen. Everyone settled into their roles - washing dishes, serving customers, running food - creating a harmonious atmosphere.Beneath this serene surface, however, emotions simmered. Daisy, in particular, cast en
"No worries," Evan shrugged, turning away. "If the reputation suffers, it won't be my problem."Leaving the kitchen, Evan summoned all the celebrities, influencers, and business moguls to the rooftop conference room. He addressed the gathering with a formal bow."As of today, your services are no longer required. I'll be closing the restaurant shortly. I'm deeply grateful for your contributions and will find a way to repay your kindness in the future."A wave of jubilation swept through the room. The grueling 10-hour workdays were finally over!Yet, as the initial excitement subsided, a hint of melancholy settled over the group. After nearly three months in Evan's company, they'd all fallen under the spell of his charismatic personality.Their admiration for this talented, enigmatic young man had blossomed into profound loyalty. Many felt they would willingly face any challenge for Evan's sake.The impending farewell stirred bittersweet emotions, particularly among the female celebrit
As he spoke, four of the seven modules dimmed, leaving only "Low Martial World," "Low Magic World," and "Tech World" illuminated."I see only three. Where's the fourth small universe module?" Evan inquired, puzzled."They're contained within these three active universes," the System explained. "If you wish to explore the gifted small universe modules, I'll randomly select three from the currently illuminated options.""The final gift is a small parallel world module. As parallel worlds can manifest in any universe, I'll carefully curate this selection for you. Rest assured, I won't make any mistakes."Evan fell silent, eventually sighing, "System, you've played me again, haven't you?"Evan cast a final glance at the modules displayed on his retina before dismissing them entirely."Host, do you not intend to utilize the four small universes bestowed upon you by this system?" the Super Rich System inquired, puzzled.A faint smile played on Evan's lips as he replied, "Indeed, I have no p
