Sorry for Your Loss, It's Me, I'm the Loss novel Chapter 473

"Yeah," Bennett replied with a smile. Then he asked, "I have tomorrow off. Want to go see a movie?"

As a regimental commander, Bennett still got some holidays off.

Several new holiday blockbusters had just been released and seemed pretty good. They used to go to the movies often when they dated.

"Tomorrow's a company party. We're all going to a bar. No time to hang out with Mr. Bennett Thompson, so you'll have to be a good boy on your own," Yvonne teased. She held her phone in one hand and a lit sparkler in the other.

The dazzling sparks flickered, reflecting brightly in Yvonne's eyes.

If Bennett could have seen her then, that surge of arousal would have been even stronger.

Yvonne and Bennett chatted for a little while longer until Sandra called her over to light some firecrackers. Yvonne hung up and trotted over.

The firecrackers were lit, exploding with a deafening series of pops and crackles.

Yvonne and Sandra stood off to the side, covering their ears and laughing happily.

After the firecrackers finished, the two went back to their apartment to shower and rest.

The next day, with nothing on their schedule, they slept in late.

Sandra got up first. Years of habit had fixed her internal clock to an early start.

She made breakfast before waking Yvonne up.

Yvonne stumbled into the dining room, rubbing her eyes, still half-asleep as she ate.

"It's nice to be young. You can sleep so soundly. At my age, I can't sleep even when I want to," Sandra said with a laugh.

After finishing her breakfast, Yvonne was finally fully awake.

Sandra drove, and they headed to the bar she had booked.

The Nightscape Bar was located on Istra's main bar street.

They had booked the entire ground floor of the two-story bar. Company employees and signed artists—everyone who didn't have a prior engagement or was on set—showed up, bringing family or friends along.

It was crowded and noisy, but the atmosphere was lively.

As the company owners, Sandra and Yvonne greeted the employees' families with smiles.

Most of the family members were meeting big stars for the first time and seemed a bit shy. But Sandra and Yvonne were so friendly and down-to-earth that they quickly put everyone at ease.

"Sandra, Yvonne, these are some of my childhood friends. They came along to join the fun," said Jamie Davis, a newly signed artist who had brought friends instead of family.
