Summer drove away from Leonardo's villa overnight and went downtown.
As soon as Leonardo woke up, he would discover that she had gone and then bring people to look for her. Meanwhile, those who had taken Rosie away were definitely keeping an eye out for her at all times.
Therefore, all she had to do now was to wait for them to come looking for her. However, she wasn't sure who would find her first, Leonardo's men or the people who had taken Rosie away. She hoped that it could be the latter.
Summer arrived at the center of the city before sunrise. She took a rest in a hotel for two hours and went to the busiest high street for coffee after dawn.
All she had to do was to keep a high profile.
Today was a working day, so even in the busiest street, there were fewer people than usual.
Summer sat in a seat next to the window and ordered a cup of coffee. Then, she began to watch the people around her.
Most of them were office workers who took the time to have a cup of coffee and eat fast food, with no one looking suspicious.
After several cups of coffee, Summer looked out of the window, feeling bored. At this moment, someone walked over and sat down opposite her. Summer turned her head and saw a familiar face.
She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Stanley?"
The man sitting opposite her only said, "Long time no see, Summer."
Summer looked at him carefully and then asked again, "Connel, is that you?"
"You finally recognized me." Connel was in black as usual. When he smiled, he looked almost the same as Stanley, who Summer had not seen for a long time. She could only tell them apart from the color of their clothes. Apart from this, she could not find any difference between them.
Summer looked around and asked him with a wary look, "Why are you here?"
"You asked me in the cafe why I was here? Do you think you are the owner and nobody can come in for coffee but you?"
Just as Connel ended, a waiter came over asking him what he wanted to drink and he ordered a cup of coffee.
Subconsciously, Summer didn't believe that Connel would be here for no reason. There couldn't be so many coincidences in the world.
If it wasn't a coincidence, why would Connel show up here?
In this situation, other than Leonardo's men, only those who had taken Rosie away would come looking for Summer.
In that case, could she assume that Connel was in league with the people who had got Rosie?
Summer thought a lot, but looked quite calm. She said lightly, "Of course you can come in."
After saying this, she drank up the coffee in front of her and stood up. "I have things to do and will be leaving now."
Connel did not stop her.
However, just as she was about to turn around and walk out, Connel suddenly said, "I saw Leonardo with his men across the road just now."
Summer paused and turned to look out the window without seeing Leonardo.
But when she look outside with her head up, she saw Leonardo walking towards the cafe with his men.
Summer's expression changed slightly. She shot a glance at Connel with mixed feelings and then walked towards the back door of the cafe with her bag in hand.
She could not be found by Leonardo yet. Although she was very suspicious of Connel's presence here, she was not completely sure that he was an accomplice of those who had taken Rosie.
