Once they arrived at the hotel, Aurelia snapped out of her daze and grabbed Leslie. “Mr. Synder, how


    did you know I was heading here?”


    “Where else would you go?” he asked expressionlessly.


    She pouted and mumbled, “And yet, you left anyway.”


    “You wanted to be alone, right? I can’t just park my car at the police station forever,”


    Leslie teased.


    Realization dawned on Aurelia and she sobered up. Staring at Leslic intently, she asked, So, you went


    to park your car and followed me?”


    Leslie didn’t bother to deny her question and replied, “Yeah.”


    Aurelia parted her lips to speak, but she felt like her heart was leaping out of her throat. Something was


    weird with Leslie, but she could say the same about herself.


    Just then, the elevator doors opened and they arrived at the restaurant on the top floor.


    Eva and the others were still shooting. Once they spotted Aurelia, Eva immediately mocked, “Are you


    here to apologize?”


    “No.” Leslie pulled Aurelia to a seat nearby and said, “We are here to dine.


    Eva’s expression darkened and she tried to ease her embarrassment. “How stubborn. I guess you


    don’t know fear.”


    ‘Ms. Hanks, you are blocking the lights. We are trying to eat here.


    away coldly and handed the menu to Aurelia.


    Aurelia didn’t know what Leslie was trying to do, but she trusted that he w


    her. Hence, she smiled and thanked him before focusing on the menu.

    Others had always fawned over Eva, so she had never encountered anyone as difficult to


    deal with as Aurelia.


    Fuming, Eva let out a cold snort and returned to the couch in the rest area.


    Aurelia wanted to gauge Eva’s reaction but was stopped by Leslie. “Don’t pay attention to her. The


    person who loses patience first is the loser.”


    “But… I haven’t had any conflict with her at all. I don’t get why she’s doing this to me,”


    Aurelia mumbled.


    “Don’t you want to see who actually has a problem with you?” Leslie asked.


    Since they had been together for a long time, Aurelia immediately understood what he


    meant.


    In a game of wits, the one who couldn’t sit still often ended up losing the most.


    After some thought, Aurelia waved to the waiter. “I’ll have a steak, please. Thank you.”


    Leslie closed the menu and ordered the same thing.


    Soon, their steaks were served.


    Aurelia leisurely ate her steak, evenmenting to Leslie about how expensive things were here.


    She paid no attention to Eva’s murderous nces or the asional insults popping up on her phone.


    As Eva’s expression grew darker, Aurelia decided to press her luck. When Eva nced at her, Aurelia


    deliberately looked at the surveince cameras.

    Sure enough, Eva’s expression changed slightly. Although she knew the filming location. was a blind


    spot for surveince, she would be afraid of any oversight.


    Eva quickly stood up and walked toward an empty corner.


    Aurelia was taken aback and whispered, “I didn’t expect there to actually be someone behind her.


    Could it be Kimberly?”


    Leslie raised his ss and remarked with a low voice, “If Kimberly were


    why would she approach Eva, to begin with?”


    Aurelia thought about it before replying, “True.”


    If it wasn’t Kimberly, then who could it be?


    pable,


    After turning the corner, Eva lit a cigarette and dialed Cynthia’s number in frustration. Cynthia, the man


    you like is a bit strange. He’s too calm.”


    With a puff of smoke, she squinted and nced in the direction where Aurelia and Leslie were having


    their meal.

    “He’s always been that way. You’ve gone too far this time. How could you have them. taken to the


    police station?” Cynthia asked.


    Despite what she said, it sounded like she was smiling.
