“Lara, all the guests are here, so can the dishes be served now?” Kash didn't even bother to greet Patricia and Vivian. He just urged Lara to start the meal.

His aloof attitude didn't upset them, though. In fact, it was to be expected.

Given the Hughes Group's financial situation, and the fact that Vivian wasn't an A-lister in the entertainment industry, they didn't deserve Kash's attention.

A waiter came over promptly and served the dishes

"This is..."

Vivian Looked at the food, and to her surprise, the dishes all seemed Like very ordinary home cooking at the first sight.

It looked Like just everyone could cook these dishes

How could these be the dishes made by a famous chef?

But as soon as Vivian took in a deep breath, and smelled the food, she instantly felt herself relax. A feeling of happiness overcame her, as if she was on top of a mountain or in a beautiful field, and her whole body was a part of nature.

“Fabulous! These dishes are simple and fresh. Although they seem to be ordinary, but less is more, right? I'm sure they'll definitely be the most delicious dishes I've ever tried!"

Kash exclaimed excitedly.

“I'm glad you're enjoying it, Mr. Debenham." Lara smiled. At this moment, Vivian and Jacqueline glanced at each other. Their expressions mirrored each other

They were both confused, but they had to admit, the food was. inexplicably, delicious. It was a real mystery.

As everyone dug into the food, Lara abruptly turned to Vivian. "You're actually Polly, the famous Internet author who wrote Song of Phoenix, right?"

Vivian was so taken by surprise that she dropped her fork. She hesitantly Looked at Lara, and then turned to Patricia, who looked back at her encouragingly.

Vivian then stole a glance at Kash, the real distinguished guest.

"Yes..." she started to reply hesitantly. "Yes!" she repeated, in a clearer voice.

She had infinite hope in her eyes.

“Mrs. Bowles, Mr. Debenham, I'm Polly. I am indeed the author of Song of Phoeni:

"Oh? So you're a web novel writer?" Kash asked.

Judging from Kash's tone, he didn't respect her as a proper writer. At the same time, it also seemed Like this would have been the first time he'd heard of Polly and Song of Phoenix.

Like most of the senior members of the Writers' Association, he never read web novels and Looked down upon their authors.

With a modest disposition, Vivian replied, “Yes, Mr. Debenham. I'm an actor and writing is simply my hobby.”

"Oh?" said Kash, his interest piqued.
