Chapter 1009: Chapter 1009: Where Are You?

Aurelia had already more or less guessed, but hearing these words come directly from Mason Nightshade’s mouth was another kind of shock.

Aurelia hadn’t yet recovered her composure when she heard Mason suddenly say, "You’re the one who said it."

"Huh? Said what?" Aurelia asked, puzzled.

"To pursue me again." Mason gazed intently at her, wondering if she would change her mind again.

Aurelia smiled helplessly, "Alright."

A smile also spread across Mason’s lips.

Gustavo Yates didn’t know what the boss talked about with the Young Madam, but the boss came out all smiles, making people suspect if he was... ahem! Though the boss may be a bit flirtatious, but not to the point of doing something inappropriate there.

Nonetheless, when Aurelia got into the car, Gustavo Yates couldn’t help but glance at her one more time.

...

In the evening, Aurelia suddenly received a call from Amanda Fuller, "Hello, Amanda."

"Aurelia, I’m here at the party too, where are you? I haven’t been able to find you." Amanda’s voice came from the phone, the background noisy.

Aurelia suddenly furrowed her brows, sensing something was off, "Amanda, where are you? What party?"

Amanda paused, also sensing something was wrong, "Aren’t you at Robert’s party?"

A flash of anger crossed Aurelia’s eyes, "Did he tell you I was coming?"

Amanda was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, I’m sorry Aurelia, I was careless. I’ll leave right away, you shouldn’t come!"

"You wait there." Aurelia exhaled.

Amanda was just about to leave when she stopped.

Aurelia said, "Since she lured you there as bait, he won’t let you leave if I don’t show up. Amanda, if you’re scared, call Foster Fuller."

"Alright, I know, you take care." Amanda said.

"Alright."

...

After hanging up, Aurelia drove out of the garage. Caspian Parker saw and frowned, "Where are you going?"

Aurelia got into the car, "Going to a friend’s party."

"You’re dressing like this for a party?" Caspian glanced at her outfit, black tight top and leather pants. If you knew, she was going to a party, if not, you’d think she was going to a duel.

Caspian raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing what she said.

Aurelia looked down at herself and smiled, "This friend has quite a strong taste, can’t dress too formally for his party, too formal and he’d be upset."

"You’re not going out to stir up trouble, are you?" Caspian suspiciously narrowed his eyes.

Aurelia raised three fingers in a pledge, "When have I ever caused trouble?"

A faint, indescribable helplessness flashed across Caspian’s face, his expression as if to say: when hasn’t she caused trouble for him. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He shook his head and sighed, "Fine, go ahead, you know your limits, call me if anything happens."

"Got it." Aurelia’s lips curled up, "Thanks, bro."

It’s really nice to feel protected by a brother.

...

Aurelia floored the gas, reaching her destination, a mansion, in less than twenty minutes.

Though she threw away the address Robert gave her, she remembered that string of words after just one glance.

There were over a dozen luxury cars parked outside, clearly indicating a gathering of the wealthy heirs.

"Amanda, where are you?" Aurelia sent Amanda a WeChat message before entering.

Using the phone here was more inconvenient instead.

Putting away her phone, Aurelia pushed the door open and picked a corner with poor lighting to sit down. Robert probably wouldn’t notice her right away, and it was best to find Amanda and leave quickly.
