Blanche's POV
In the restaurant's main dining area, Demetrius knew Aiden had gone to meet Zain and the others, so he called over a waiter and asked for the menu.
Although Aiden had other plans, Demetrius and I still needed to eat.
The waiter had just finished placing the dishes on our table when Aiden emerged from the private room, briefcase in hand.
He walked over, and seeing that Demetrius and I were about to start eating, couldn't help but tease, "What's this? The supporting actors are already digging in before the star even shows up?"
Hearing Aiden's voice, Demetrius and I both instinctively rose to our feet. Together, we said, "Professor Reese."
Aiden didn't bother with pleasantries. He set his briefcase on an empty chair and took a seat next to Demetrius. After settling in, he removed his coat and watch, placing them aside. Clearly, he planned to stay for a proper meal.
