As Aurelia ate her steak, she considered all the possibilities of how she managed to anger Eva; but she


    couldn’t figure it out.


    Leslie uncorked the wine, poured two sses, and took a sip from his ss. “You will fall right into their


    trap if you panic.”


    “I’m just curious.” Aurelia nced in the direction Eva disappeared.


    “Let’s wait and see.” Leslie elegantly savored his wine as he used his phone.


    Aurelia wanted to look at her phone as well, but Leslie shot her a look and she could only set her


    phone down. She paused for a moment, wondering why she was afraid of Leslie.


    Leslie set his phone down and asked, “Are you done eating?”


    Aurelia nodded. “Yeah.”


    “Let’s go to the security room, then,” he said as he stood up.


    “Wait, are we supposed to just walk right into the security room of a big hotel?” asked Aurelia.


    “If you don’t go through the surveince footage, then are you supposed to search floor by floor?”


    Leslie countered.


    “Is that… not what we were going to do?” Aurelia replied.


    She thought she was eating that much to prepare for the physicalbori


    allowed.


    Leslie stared at her like she was strange and turned to pay the bill.


    Aurelia could only follow him to the security room on the first floor.

    The security guards seemed to know that they wereing and immediately offer


    their seats.


    “Mr. Synder, all the footage from today is here,” the guards informed them.


    Leslie nodded. “Alright.”


    Tako


    your time. We will leave now,” the guards said.


    Aurelia quickly stopped them and took out two ten–dor bills from her bag to give them. “Thank you


    both for your help. This was my idea, and he had nothing to do with it. Take


    this money and buy yourselves some cigarettes. You’ve really saved me a lot of trouble.”


    The security guards were startled and nced at Leslie.


    Leslie nodded and they epted the money before leaving.


    Aurelia turned back and sat down, sighing in relief. “Mr. Synder, you should have told me about this


    earlier. I could have prepared more cash. What if they go around telling others?


    “That’s called bribery,” Leslie said seriously.


    “This is not funny at all. It’s just social etiquette. Do you think we’re some high–born gentlemen and


    ladies? They didn’t have to give up their seats for us. Although I hate to admit it, life is just that


    realistic,” Aurelia said, pursing her lips.


    Leslie hesitated, then decided against telling Aurelia his identity. He figured she’d run away as soon as


    she found out.


    After all, the hotel was co–owned by his mother and someone else, but he hadn’t


    mentioned his mother’s name to outsiders.


    “Let’s get back to it,” he said.


    Aurelia pulled a chair over and sat next to Leslie.


    Leslie adjusted the time to a little after eight in the morning, just in time to see Kimberly entering the


    hotel from outside.


    Besides that, Aurelia noticed something else that was strange.


    “Wait a minute.” Aurelia paused the video and pointed at the frozen fras is that you?”

    “Yes.” Leslie frowned. He had forgotten to avoid the footage of himself enter the


    hotel.


    Would Aurelia notice anything strange?


    “Why did Mr. Xenos open the door for you when you got out of the car? And isn’t that the hotel


    manager standing at the entrance? Do you really need such a grand entrance for a business meeting?”


    she asked.


    Indeed, she had noticed something amiss.


    “I was representing the boss,” Leslie said.

    Aurelia looked at him before nodding. “I see.”


    If he was representing the boss, it seemed natural that he had to maintain a certain level of authority,


    especially since he was dealing with the Synder family.


    “Let’s keep watching,” Aurelia said without a doubt for the truth of Leslie’s exnation.
