Leonard Lerman?
Stella frowned.
There were only a handful of high-end restaurants that were actually good. While a chance encounter was possible, she remembered the last time she'd "coincidentally" run into Leonard during her vacation, and she doubted this was any more of an accident.
Stella had no positive feelings for Leonard and wanted nothing to do with such a brutal man.
With that in mind, Stella told the front desk attendant, "He doesn't need to pay for our table. Please return the money to him. I'll settle the bill."
The attendant looked troubled. "Miss, the bill for your table has already been closed out. There are no outstanding charges on our end, so we can't charge you a second time. Why don't you… give the money directly to that gentleman? Would that work?"
Stella wasn't short on money for a meal, but she didn't want to owe Leonard anything. She didn't know why he'd done it, but she had no intention of falling into one of his traps over something so trivial. The man's methods were simple and crude, yet he'd managed to become the head of his family. Stella wasn't about to underestimate him.
After a moment's thought, Stella walked over to where Leonard was dining alone.
"Leonard, why did you pay for my table?"
Leonard looked up and gave her a dismissive once over. "Oh, I paid for the wrong one."
Stella didn't believe for a second that Leonard would make such a mistake. Besides, the number of her private room and his table didn't share a single digit. Was he using this as another opportunity to warn or remind her of something?
At this thought, Stella's gaze grew even colder.
