Aveline found herself at a loss for words, left only with silence in response.
Russell smiled faintly and stood up, saying, "I'll be going now. Get some rest. If you ever run into any problems, just give me a call."
He rose from his seat, and Aveline followed suit, watching as he left. When the door closed, she couldn't help but sigh.
How did things end up going in this direction?
She sat back down on the sofa, taking small sips of juice, her thoughts drifting back to everything that had happened since she met Russell. It all gave her a bit of a headache.
She owed him a lot. But she didn't know how to repay it.
Aveline sighed again and stood up, heading to the study.
...
In a beautifully set restaurant, Selena held up her phone, taking photos. Her makeup was flawlessly done, her face bright and lovely, and her eyes sparkled with light as she looked into the camera.
Aaron sat across from her, lounging casually in his chair, a diamond necklace around his neck reflecting a dazzling light under the restaurant's glow.
As Selena finished her selfies, she reviewed the photos and asked, "So, what do you want to talk about?"
Aaron gazed at her, asking, "Have you thought about the thing I asked you before?"
Selena glanced up at him and replied, "What thing?"
"Playing dumb, are we?" Aaron chuckled lightly. "Selena, you know you can't escape this no matter what, so you've started pretending to be clueless? But you should also know that playing dumb won't solve anything."
Selena, satisfied with her photos, saved them before putting her phone down. A faint smile played on her lips, and there was a glint in her eyes, almost like a hook.
