"Scumbag! My luck was just turning and you have to co and spoil it?! Get lost! You’re such an embarrassnt!" Oscar said angrily. Monica couldn’t get up for a long ti, and the people in the casino didn’t seem surprised, they were just enjoying the drama. Shaken, I quickly left with Luna. Jas was waiting for us in the car. Seeing my pale face, he asked with concern, "Madam, are you not feeling well?" I’m fine. Let’s go back to Starlight estate," I said, rubbing my neck. Luna also ca over to check on . Frowning, she said, "Your neck is red all around. That woman was totally out of line!" "What did she an by her words?" I couldn’t help wondering, "Who has bought over Oscar?" "I have no idea. Oscar is a gambler, he must be knee-deep in debt. Maybe soone paid off his debt for him, on the condition that he brings his wife back," Luna speculated. "But who could that person be?" I wondered aloud, "The detective I hired also found Oscar before. Back then, he didn’t seem to care about his wife’s affair. Now I think about it, maybe they were a couple of swindlers. Monica was tasked with luring rich n and then scamming them to pay off Oscar’s gambling debt. But she probably also wanted to use this opportunity to divorce Oscar." After a few seconds of thought, Luna’s eyes widened, "Could it be... Damon? Didn’t you also see those photos at his place?" My heart skipped a beat, I murmured, "Could the pictures have co from here?" He must have gotten the negatives too! I know him well. He’s very thorough. If he paid for sothing, he’d want to get the most out of it. What’s the point of having these copies if he doesn’t have the negatives? Once I sign the divorce papers, I can get the photos and negatives from him. By the ti we got back to Starlight estate, it was already dark. Luna and I found a place to eat. During the al, she cursed Damon twenty tis.
"After you get divorced, I’ll introduce you to so hot guys. There are so many n out there, why should you stick with this jerk!" Luna comforted , "I don’t believe that he and that Ariel can last. He’ll regret it in the future." I sighed. For a mont, I even had the impulse to tell Luna about my reincarnation. But such a thing sounded ludicrous. And if this secret got to Damon, who knows what would happen. "That’s no longer my concern," I said, eating my dessert and suppressing my emotions, "But rember what you said. When the ti cos, you have to introduce to several handso n." "I promise I will!" Luna smacked her chest. After dinner, I asked Jas to take Luna ho first, then I went back to Starlight Estates. As soon as I got ho, an unknown number called . When I picked up, I heard Steve’s voice, "Finally, I got through. My previous number was blocked again." His helpless tone made want to laugh. "Ms. Eli, may I take you out for a al?" Steve asked straightforwardly. "I just had dinner," I replied. "Then let’s go to a movie," he insisted. I didn’t watch movies often, only occasionally in college with Luna and others. The rest of the ti, I usually watched at ho in my basent theater. Even so, I had fantasized about going shopping, watching movies, and having candlelight dinners with Damon. I fantasized for a whole ten years. No matter how mundane the thing is, it becos different when you do it with the one you love. Sadly, my fantasy has never been realized. I hesitated, then agreed, "Okay. Which cinema?" After getting the address, I asked Jas to take to the mall where the cinema was. The cinema was on the fifth floor. Steve was already waiting for there. He was elegantly dressed, wearing glasses, and holding two cups of hot chocolate and a bucket of popcorn. Seeing , he smiled, "Ms. Eli, I’m over here!" I walked over. He handed a cup of hot chocolate, "I don’t want this, I can get you sothing else." I shook my head, "No need. I like hot chocolate" Steve chose a romantic cody. I had no objections. As the movie started, we found our seats and sat down. He whispered, "Drink it while it’s hot." "Okay, I took a sip of the hot chocolate. The movie was hilarious and the plot was interesting. I thought I would fall asleep, but in the end, I laughed until tears ca out. Because I set my phone to silent, I only saw Damon’s missed call after leaving the cinema. I called back. He was on another call. I didn’t bother and just followed Steve out of the mall. He said he would take to have a late-night snack. "I know a Korean BBQ place nearby. Their BBQ is good, and so is their shochu. Can you drink?" Steve asked as we walked. "I can, but I can’t drink much, I didn’t want to lose control again after drinking. The wind was strong outside the mall, but it was still lively. The BBQ place that Steve talked about was just across a small alley from the mall. We braved the cold wind and headed there. He was always making conversation, and I responded. He’s actually a great conversationalist, always able to find topics that interest , and he always acts like a gentleman. After we arrived at the BBQ place, we ate and drank while chatting happily. Steve was different from Joshua. He’s more mature, so we had a lot in common on so topics. I don’t like n paying my bills, so after we finished eating, I excused myself to go to the restroom, then went to the front desk to pay the bill. Steve noticed and imdiately ran over, pulling out his phone, "I’ll pay." I glanced at his phone screen unintentionally and frowned inadvertently. "Alright. Let take you ho," Steve said after paying. His car was parked nearby. "No need. I have a friend who’s also eating nearby. I’ve contacted him, he’s coming to pick up soon," I politely declined Steve. "It’s no trouble," Steve looked at sincerely, "Ms. Eli, do you believe in love at first sight?" I smiled and replied, "I believe, but I trust in the unpredictability of the human heart even more." Just now, when Steve was opening PayPal, I noticed a ssage popped up at the top of his phone screen. It was from Ian. There are many people with the sa na in this world, but I didn’t believe the "Ian" on Steve’s phone would be a different person. I rembered Sofia once told , Ian thought it was who caused their breakup. Sofia warned to be careful of his revenge. I was careless. I thought if Ian wanted revenge, he would do it himself, but I didn’t expect him to send soone else close to . I was still not sure what his purpose was.
