Chapter 177
It was Aurelia!
Kimberly watched as the attention of the entire restaurant shifted,
The glass in her hand crashed onto the table, leaving large stains on her dress.
But Kimberly didn’t even notice. She kept staring at Aurelia.
Aurelia was wearing a dress that she had set her eyes on.
A red spaghetti strap gown that clung to the body.
Aurelia’s hair was tied into a bun with a few strands of hair casually hanging down, giving her a delicate and charming look.
With each step, the hem of her dress shimmered.
Aurelia didn’t walk towards the common area where Kimberly was.
She was being escorted by a waiter into the VIP section, right next to where the band was playing.
That area was reserved for those with power and influence. No ordinary person could enter.
“Is that…Is that Aurelia?” A colleague stuttered in amazement.
“No way! It must be a look-a-like,” Millie retorted enviously, her eyes fixed on Aurelia.
All her colleagues paid her no attention and continued to look admiringly at Aurelia.
“I never thought Aurelia would be so stunning in private. Her temperament and looks make her look like a noble lady.”
Hearing this, Kimberly clenched her teeth. Her freshly done nails dug into her palms.
She tried to maintain composure as she looked at Millie.
“Millie, you’re closest to Aurelia. Go remind her that she can’t just sit anywhere in this sort of establishment. She wouldn’t want to embarrass herself when the bill comes.”
The colleagues nodded in agreement.
Millie immediately stood up and walked towards the VIP section.
Meanwhile, Aurelia cautiously took her seat.
Well-dressed gentlemen around her greeted her with polițe smiles, and she responded graciously.
She took out her phone to ask Leslie where he was. However, before she could finish typing, someone approached her.
“Aurelia? Is it really you?”

Millie only believed it was Aurelia when she saw her face up close.
Wasn’t she supposed to be out with her husband for a casual meal?
Aurelia was slightly surprised to see Millic.
Her surprise lessened when she turned and saw Kimberly along with some colleagues.
Aurelia nodded. “Yes, what a coincidence.”
Millie glanced at the people in the VIP section.
Each one of them were successful figures in high society.
What made her even more uncomfortable was how Aurelia fitted in perfectly.
Just half a month ago, they were sharing the same takeout meal.
She raised her voice and said, “Aurelia, it’s your first time here so you might not know this is the VIP section. The minimum spending in this area is different. You should leave quickly, or you might not have enough money to pay the bill later.”
The crowd turned their gazes to them.
Aurelia didn’t care for a friendly conversation. She no longer considered Millie her friend.
“The waiter brought me in. He has the information concerning all appointments. Do you really think he would bring me to the wrong seat? You of all people should know better who can’t afford to dine
here.”
“Why you…Aurelia, I’m just saying this for your own good. Know your place. Don’t make us donate money to you. This isn’t the first time,” Millie said.
Millie was talking about the time when Kimberly initiated a donation to Aurelia.
However, Aurelia found an excuse to return all the money soon after that.
She had forgotten about it and didn’t expect Millie to use this against her..
“What’s wrong? Did you not receive the refund I made? I can call the bank and aşk about it right now.”
Millie’s expression darkened and she gritted out, “Alright, then. Sit here if that’s what you want. Let’s hope you don’t get kicked out.”
“Don’t worry. Do remember to return that hundred dollars you borrowed, though. After all, I’m someone who needs donations.”
Millie tensed and left in defeat as the crowd watched her.
Aurelia had never felt better. Confronting people not worthy of her kindness didn’t seem so bad after
all.
She finally stopped blaming herself and started ignoring what others thought.

It was liberating.
She lowered her head and continued to text Leslie. “Have you arrived?”
“I’m parking the car,” he replied.
