"Hahaha! I enjoyed torturing Cedric so much!" Ray said loudly as they ate their meal.

"I thought he was going to kill you!" Miguel said.

"If he hit on my wife, I would definitely have punched him." Cedric said, shaking his head.

"You guys are children." Alexi commented about his friends.

"Hey look guys! We are the #1 topic on social media! I mean it's across platforms and so many hashtags." Ram said scrolling through the iPad his assistant just handed him.

"Who wants to break the internet again?" Ram asked, holding out his phone.

"What are you planning?" Cedric asked.

"Well we could just post a selfie. I think people will eat that up." Ram suggested.

"We should make Cedric an official page. We could just put Mr. Reyes as the name." Miguel said.

"That's a stupid idea." Cedric said.

"No, it's brilliant!" Ram, besides being a rich heir, was a PR genius. He could make anyone popular. It was under his management that Lights Entertainment reached new heights. Of course, having Eric Chan helped too.

Ram quickly made accounts for Cedric on various social media platforms. He then nagged the boys to take a selfie that they would all post. Of course, Cedric was wearing his mask and glasses.

The moment the photo hit social media everyone was thrown into a frenzy. The boys had tagged the Mr. Reyes account Ram had just created and in a few moments the account had a million followers already.

"These comments are hilarious." Miguel said reading through them.

"This one on IG says, please tell me the 5 princes are all single, Mr. Reyes I think I've fallen in love with your eyes." Miguel burst out laughing.

"I think the mystery made everyone want to see more of Cedric." Ray said while looking through the comments on his post.

"Are the sisters coming over?" Cedric asked.

"Yeah. Eric too. I'm pretty sure Ayanna is fuming now. She isn't here to join the fun." Ray said, still scrolling through the comments.

"Mr. Cedric, I just spoke to the manager. It seems Mrs. Reyes and her team reserved a table here for tonight as well." Ian told Cedric.

"Did they give her a private room?" Cedric asked.

"Yes, sir." Ian confirmed.

"That's fine. We can manage to avoid her. I'll just sleep at the old house tonight. It would be awkward if I arrived in my car." Cedric said.

"Do you think we'll bump into the 5 princes again?" One of the Island's Inc. employees asked.

"Let's not push our luck." Another told her.

The elevator door opened and their jaws dropped. Inside was Eric Chan and 4 girls, he even had his arm on the shoulder of one of them.

"Ah Mrs. Reyes, please join us." Eric said with a wink. The girls on the elevator giggled.

Adrianna's co-workers pushed him in. They weren't going to pass on the opportunity to ride the same elevator as Eric Chan.

"Mr. Eric, can we take a photo with you?" The employees asked.

The girl who had Eric's arm on her shoulder took it off and said "Why don't I take the photo for you?"

"Sure." The employee said.

"Let's take the photo when we get off the elevator." Eric suggested.

At the floor of Nouveau they stopped at the entrance to take photos.

"Miss, would you like us to take photos of you with Mr. Eric?" An employee asked the girls who had arrived with Eric.

They giggled.

"We'll pass. Bye Mrs. Reyes, I don't know if you remember us but we were with Ayanna that day." The girls waved as they left with Eric Chan.

Adrianna suddenly realized why they looked familiar.

Adrianna saw them enter the room where she and Cedric had lunch last time.

Adrianna and her group were led to a room at the other end of the restaurant. This room was not as beautiful or elegant as the room where she and Cedric had their meal but it was still amazing. The team members began taking photos as Adrianna ordered food and drinks.

She felt her phone buzzing, it was a message from Cedric saying he couldn't come home tonight due to work.

After having so much fun that night most of the team members were happy and quite tipsy. When Adrianna went over to settle the bill the manager told her that it was on the house. A gift from Elisia Corp. Adrianna didn't think much about it and thanked the manager.

Adrianna herself was quite tipsy, when she was leaving the restaurant she thought she saw Cedric enter a private room. She followed the man, but before she could enter she was pulled back by Ian.

"Adrianna, are you alright?" He asked her.

"Yeah, I just thought I saw Cedric. What are you doing here?" She asked Ian.

"I'm accompanying Mr. Reyes. Cedric is still in the office. Mr. Reyes and I are going back there, he lent us a place to stay for the night since we are swamped with work." Ian explained, hoping that it would help his boss.

"Oh alright I'll leave now." Adrianna said, bidding him goodbye.

Ian entered the room and told Cedric that his wife was leaving and that Adrianna had almost seen him.

Cedric nodded, he was concerned about his wife who seemed to have drank quite a lot.
