Chapter 180
“Aurelia, what are you up to?” he warned in a low voice.
Aurelia stopped kicking, then held up the menu and leaned in toward Leslie.
“Mr. Synder, Millie mentioned that this is the VIP section earlier, and the expenses are quite high. I didn’t expect it to be this expensive, though. I don’t think I can afford it.”
“My boss reserved this spot for me, and he even provided a discount coupon. It’s about the same price
as normal restaurants,” Leslie calmly stated.
“Oh, I see. Good,” Aurelia nodded.
“Also, put your feet away,” Leslie reminded her.
“My feet?” Aurelia lowered her head and noticed that the tip of her shoe was unintentionally brushing against Leslie’s leg.
Startled, she hastily pulled her feet back and sat properly.
Realizing that the waiter was observing them, Aurelia ordered a few dishes. Leslie added a few more
orders and returned the menu to the waiter.
After a while, the dishes arrived, and Aurelia glanced at them.
“Is this what they call elegance in simplicity?” she thought.
The dishes came one after another, and each plate was larger than the previous one.
However, the food on the large plates were just enough for a couple of bites.
She wondered if she would have to make pasta once they got home.
When they reached the desserts, the band on stage switched to a dance tune.
Aurelia couldn’t quite help the urge to tap her foot a couple of times.
People had already started dancing on the dance floor next to the band, resembling the scene of a high
-class banquet.
Aurelia looked around and clapped involuntarily.
At that moment, a foreign man approached.
“Hello, may I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?”
Aurelia was stunned for a moment and didn’t know how to refuse.
Were people nowadays this enthusiastic and bold?
Her husband was sitting across from her, and someone just came up to invite her to dance.

Although, thinking about it, this was probably just a normal ballroom dance and not an intimate gesture for foreigners.
Aurelia was just pondering how to respond when Leslie’s expression darkened.
A cold gleam appeared in his eyes as he spoke up, “No.”
Before the foreign man could say anything else, Leslie stood up and pulled Aurelia along with him.
“Let’s go.”
“Where to?” Aurelia asked.
“Weren’t you thinking of dancing?”
Leslie led Aurelia to the dance floor.
Aurelia was dazed for a moment, only returning to her senses when Leslie’s hand encircled her waist, and she quickly caught up with the dance steps.
“You know how to dance?” Leslie was slightly shocked.
Aurelia smiled.
“I once organized an event for a dancing crew and they taught me a few things. I only know this much though.”
He studied the smile on her face and said, “It looks like what happened earlier didn’t affect you.”
“Yeah. I think you are right. I don’t want to waste my time and energy on people that aren’t important to me.”
“Who is important to you, then?” he asked.
“My mom, Aunt Linda, and…”
She glanced at him and pursed her lips.
Worried of saying the wrong thing, she lowered her gaze.
She could hear her heart pounding.
It was a strange feeling.
Leslie knew that his question was slightly out of line, but he desperately wanted to know what Aurelia was about to say.
In the end, he suppress the urge to ask.
The two listened to the music quietly and an unknown feeling blossomed between them.
