Balthazar, ever perceptive, noted that she said "going back first" without ntioning where.
He asked, "Are you not going ho tonight?"
Aurelia shook her head, "I have to record Stardust's the song tomorrow, I'll probably be busy for a while, it's more convenient to stay at Cloud Pavilion Garden."
Balthazar nodded, feeling a bit disappointed, but it wasn't uncommon for Aurelia not to co ho during filming before, he understood.
Aurelia turned to face Jovana, who felt her heart skip a beat, suddenly sensing sothing bad.
Aurelia's eyes curved with a smile, "I heard from your teacher that you've been isolated at school lately? Young Jovana, that's not good; you should interact more with your classmates at school."
"Although our family conditions aren't bad, you know you shouldn't use that as a reason to make friends, right?"
"Oh, also…" Aurelia recalled, saying, "The teacher ntioned you've not been submitting your howork lately. The exams are coming soon, and Dad hopes you can get into a prestigious university. Isn't Clara there to take care of Dad? Education is the priority."
"Right, Clara?" Aurelia asked Clara Philips with a smile.
"Yes, Young Jovana, studying is crucial. Although Mom knows you're worried about Dad's health, it's a critical mont now. Even if you're doing well in studies, you can't be complacent, understand?" Clara Philips said.
"I understand, Mom." Jovana nodded and said.
Aurelia coldly curled her lips into a smile, her mocking gaze sweeping across Jovana and Clara before leaving the ward.
Amanda Fuller glanced inside the ward, then followed Aurelia out. Aurelia's ho seed… quite disharmonious; she had to protect her idol! No one could harm her idol, now was the ti to test her devotion as a fan.
Cell phone ringing as they left the hospital.
Aurelia was a bit surprised; given their current status and position in the entertainnt industry, there was no reason for their paths to cross.
Unless…
She answered.
Eleanor Spencer's gentle and serene voice echoed from the other end, "Aurelia? It's Isabel."
"I know." Aurelia replied indifferently.
"Well… are you free for lunch? I'd like to invite you for a al."
Aurelia paused for a second, "Okay, where?"
…
Aurelia had Amanda drive her to the agreed restaurant.
Walking in, Aurelia scanned the room, her gaze landing on Eleanor who was waving at her, wearing a white floral dress with a hat and sunglasses, exuding a gentle and serene aura, even at a distance.
Too bad it was all an act; only Aurelia knew how ugly and cruel Eleanor's heart was beneath this façade.
"Aurelia, over here." Eleanor removed her sunglasses.
Aurelia walked over and sat opposite her.
Eleanor slid the nu over, "Not sure if this restaurant's food suits your taste, order whatever you like, like I said, it's my treat."
Aurelia pretended not to notice the boast embedded in her words, quietly looking at the nu.
This was a foreign restaurant, the nu was in English, and the staff were foreigners.
Aurelia ordered in fluent M Nation language, handed the nu back to the server, and then asked Eleanor, "Do you need to order anything else?"
Eleanor's expression nearly faltered for a second, she smiled as she ordered several dishes in equally fluent M Nation language.
