BuzzNovel“He must have just gotten back-I didn’t hear anything about it either.”
Cole cast a fleeting glance, then turned away, leading Alessia down the stairs by the hand.
Alessia frowned but didn’t bother to linger. The guy was irrelevant-hardly worth even a moment of her attention.
“So, you're Miss Tate?” The man tried to slick back his thinning hair, clearly thinking he looked charming, though
the lecherous gleam in his eyes ruined any chance of
that.
“Yes.” Ileana was as proud and haughty as ever, openly displaying her disgust. It was obvious she couldn't stand
the sight of this greasy, pig-faced man.
She pulled a tissue from her purse and held it to her nose, as if his very breath. threatened to pollute the air
around her.
“Order whatever you want-I’ll cover the whole thing,” he declared grandly.
A thick gold chain hung from his neck, and every inch of him screamed nouveau
riche.
The more he spoke, the more speechless Ileana became, and the less she could
tolerate him.
She couldn't stay any longer. Grabbing her bag, she stood up to leave.
“You'd better think twice, Miss Tate. If I'm not happy, the Tate family is finished,” he sneered, not even bothering
to move as she rose. He barely managed to lift his eyelids, his bloated face almost swallowing his eyes.

“Go ahead and order.” Seeing her sit, the man looked even more pleased with himself.
He tossed the menu at her.

Ileana bristled at his attitude but swallowed her pride. Just as she reached for the menu, she suddenly shot to
her feet.
Her abrupt movement startled everyone nearby.
“What are you doing?!”
Before he finished his sentence, Ileana had already bolted, leaving her bag behind.
“Get back here!” The man could hardly believe his prize was slipping away. He heaved himself up and gave
chase.
But his massive gut and lumbering steps left him out of breath within moments.
“You-just you wait!” he shouted after her, but Ileana didn’t even look back. She just kept running, leaving him to
stew in his humiliation as laughter rippled through the
restaurant.
Face burning with embarrassment, he stormed out.
Watching the scene unfold, Alessia arched an eyebrow. Who knew dinner could cwith such entertainment?
Not a bad night, after all.
“Let's go.”
Cole finished paying and walked over, taking Alessia’s hand as naturally as ever.

At that moment, Ileana was clutching Fortune's arm, refusing to let him leave.
“Fortune, why haven't you answered my calls? Why haven't you reached out to me? Do you have any idea how
miserable I've been waiting for you?”
People on the sidewalk began to stare and whisper, but Illeana didn’t care at all.
Fortune clearly hadn't expected to run into her. The smile on his lips froze mid-expression.
“You know her?” one of his friends asked, eyeing the scene,
