    Gary made no reply, and the silence that ensued was somewhat unsettling for Cindy. As such, she


    quickly said, "If it isn''t anything important, I''ll just hang up now."


    He hummed in response this time. It meant that he could hear her clearly over the phone just now, but


    he simply chose not to answer her question.


    This irritated her for some reason, and she regretted returning his call. It would have been fine had


    there been an actual conversation that came from this, but the call only seemed to solidify the


    awkwardness between them.


    She hung up the call and walked away from the balcony. Aurora stood up from the couch when she


    saw her and asked, "Did you manage to get a hold of him? What did you guys talk about?"


    When she saw Gary''s name on Cindy''s phone screen earlier, she presumed it was a business call.


    "Oh," answered Cindy absentmindedly. Then, she tried to school her features into an indifferent


    expression as she said, "He was just telling me about the investment project and all that—nothing


    much. I can''t understand all the technical mumbo-jumbo anyway, so I didn''t really take away much from


    the phone call."


    Auroraughed and brushed this off before walking toward the door. She then said, "Only the


    professionals would know all that, I believe. All we need to concern ourselves with is whether we can


    bankroll the investments."


    Cindy said something in agreement before she sighed and mused ruefully, "I think I''ll give up on


    investments after this. I can''t seem to wrap my head around them."


    Aurora opened the door as she pointed out, "Well, you''re not really having problems with your


    investments so far. Your consultant is quite reliable, and you don''t necessarily have to understand the


    principles of the investment as long as you have him to keep an eye on the market for you."


    There was nothing wrong with Aurora''s words. Gary was an investment consultant, and it was well


    within his job scope to keep an eye on the investments Cindy had made. However, their rtionship


    wasplex right now, and it was annoying as well as inconvenient.


    Nheless, Cindy saw no point in telling Aurora of such things since it would only lead to a


    misunderstanding, so she hummed in response and did not continue the topic.

    As such, they headed out of the apartment and strolled around downstairs. They had been out and


    about before, and they usually went home after walking around the block. However, they had barely


    taken a couple of steps today when someone came over to them and asked, "Hi there, did you manage


    to get that conundrum solved today? The man came to pester you, right? What happened to him in the


    end? Did you have him thrown out? Will hee back again? My goodness, it must have been


    terrifying for you. I even saw him make a ruckus twice today outside thepound!"


    Thanks to that idiot of a man, Aurora and Cindy couldn''t even take a quiet evening stroll without being


    questioned by the residents in the area.


    Aurora kept up a pleasant smile as she said courteously, "I got over it, though it was unnerving at first.


    He said he would nevere back again, and we''ve already lodged a police report on the matter. The


    way I see it, he will probably stick to his word if he knows what''s good for him."


    The resident nodded earnestly. "That''s a relief. What horrible luck you must have to be pestered so


    relentlessly by that man. You ought to be careful from now on!"


    That much was true, for it did take some horrible luck to be badgered by him.


    Aurora thanked the resident kindly and watched as she walked away, looking pleased to have gossiped


    about this. On the side, Cindy grew exasperated as she asked, "Are you famous in our neighborhood


    now?"


    "It looks like it." Aurora gave a deprecating smile and added, "I can''t do much about my fame, you


    know."


    They went over to a less crowded area before Aurora added, "Actually, I did consider moving into a


    new ce. I don''t trust him to just leave us alone. What if hees back again in two days and tries to


    make a scene? I might as well move into somece new—somewhere he can''t find me. I''m sure that


    will be the better choice."


    Cindy didn''t think there was any real practicality or necessity in doing that. "If that guy is dead-set on


    finding you, he will track you down no matter what. I think we should confront him boldly whenever he


    shows up so that he knows we can''t be messed with. He''ll back off eventually."


    There was no use in evading a person like him because it would solve nothing. One had to stand firm


    on one''s ground and intimidate him into backing off, or there wouldn''t be an end to this.


    Aurora hesitated for a brief second and said, "We''ll circle back to this. Perhaps I''m just a little frazzled


    right now, but I''lle up with a n after this."


    They continued walking for a while longer, and those who passed by them would turn to shoot curious


    nces at Aurora. None of them said anything, but it was clear to see that they knew exactly who she


    was.
