Maple Garden.

Aveline stepped into the elevator when her phone pinged-it was a message from Selena inviting her to dinner that evening. She felt drained all day and didn't have the energy to go out, but she also didn't feel like cooking for herself once she got home. She quickly replied, asking where they would eat.

Selena's call came almost immediately.

"How about some barbecue? I think I've been working out too much lately. I've dropped a few pounds and need to make up for it," Selena said.

Aveline raised an eyebrow. "What kind of workouts have you been doing?"

Selena laughed and replied with a wink, "The bedroom kind."

Aveline sighed. "... Forget I asked."

She said, "Where are we eating? Send me the location."

"Got it."

After hanging up, Aveline pressed the elevator's ground floor button.

Beside her, Lucas also received a call.
