The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 25

Chapter 25 

Cecilia indeed had something to attend to. Tonight marked her once–a–month shift at Skyhaven Club. 

After quickly checking her phone and confirming a message from Mr. Xanders urging her, she left the recording studio complex after bidding farewell to Calvin. 

As she stepped out of the music department, Yvette hurried over and affectionately linked her arm with Cecilia’s. 

“Ceci, you are truly amazing. My admiration for you knows no bounds,” Yvette exclaimed. 

Cecilia chuckled. “Ms. Yates, you’ve encountered a variety of talents. Is such an admiration necessary?” 

“Absolutely necessary! Now, I find myself listening to your songs every night to fall asleep.” 

“I didn’t expect my songs to have such a hypnotic effect.” 

“It’s not hypnotic; it’s pure auditory bliss.” 

After Yvette finished speaking, she continued by asking, “Ceci, it’s mealtime now. Has Uncle Calvin invited you to dinner yet?” 

Cecilia gently pulled her arm free and replied, “Yes, he did, but I have prior commitments tonight and can’t join you for 

dinner.” 

Yvette pouted in disappointment. “I’ve been waiting for you for hours; what a shame.” 

Seeing her childlike disappointment, Cecilia couldn’t help but smile and offered, “Are you planning to head to Skyhaven Club? Let me treat you.” 

Despite being the favored child in the Yates family, Yvette’s parents enforced strict rules that prevented her from going to places like nightclubs where various people with different intentions gathered.

Surprised, she looked at Cecilia and asked, “Ceci, do you visit there often?” 

“Not too frequently. I visit when I’m feeling down or when work calls for it.” 

“Work? What kind of work do you do at Skyhaven Club?” “You’ll see when you get there. Will you be coming?” 

Yvette hesitated and replied cautiously, “I should let Uncle Calvin know first.” 

Later on, she gave Calvin a call. 

She didn’t have high hopes, but to her surprise, Calvin agreed. 

“Don’t drink alcohol, and don’t accept drinks from others. I’ll pick you up at ten.” 

“I understand. Thank you, Uncle.” 

Half an hour later, Cecilia and Yvette arrived at Skyhaven Club. 

This time, they entered through the staff entrance. 

In the backstage area, the stylist was already waiting. 

Cecilia signaled a Skyhaven Club staff member and instructed, “Take Ms. Yates to the booth seating and bring her some refreshments.” 

“Yes, Ms. Yancey.” 

Every employee at Skyhaven Club was aware that Cecilia held a diamond card, so they treated her with utmost respect. 

Suppressing her surprise, Yvette left the backstage area. 

As she arrived at the booth seating, curiosity got the better of her, and she couldn’t help but inquire, “What kind of work does Ceci do at Skyhaven Club?” 

“I’m sorry, but internal information is considered confidential,” the staff member replied. 

“Alright, I’ll ask Ceci later.”
