She caught a whiff of the faint scent of sandalwood on Stella once, and she didn’t quite like it.

“That’s a bit too strong for me,” Curtis replied.

That was when he realized the fruity scent of the perfume was all he could detect. It had been a long time since he smelled the faint fragrance she usually wore.

“Are you not wearing your perfume today?” he asked in the most casual tone possible.

Rayna took a sip of her tea before replying, “Yeah, I haven’t worn it in a long time. Happy broke the bottle, and the official website says it is obsolete. I stopped wearing it since I couldn’t buy it anymore.”

She then mumbled softly, “Well, I think it was selling really well in Aploth, though. I don’t know why they stopped producing it all of a sudden. I kind of miss it.”

Curtis tensed up when he recalled what he told Gabriel about that perfume.

“Why did you ask about this all of a sudden? Do you like that scent?” Rayna asked.

“Yeah, it’s faint yet pleasant. I think it would make a great gift for female clients. Who would’ve thought they’d stop producing it?” Curtis replied somewhat awkwardly.

Whatever feelings of nervousness Rayna had disappeared when she heard that, and disappointment was all that remained.

Oh… So he only thinks it’s a great gift for female clients, huh? That’s all he thinks about.

“Let’s go,” Curtis said as he got up and grabbed his coat from the chair.

Rayna put the perfume back into her handbag and was about to get the bill for her snack, only to realize the bill was gone.

As she looked up, she saw that Curtis was standing at the counter with her bill in hand.

Rayna quickly ran up to him and said, “I ate the food, so I should be the one to pay for them.”

“I feel bad for making you wait that long for me, so the least I could do is pay for your food,” Curtis replied.

“I only stayed because I didn’t want people taking pictures of you while you were busy working. It could cause both Glory and myself a lot of trouble if word got out about you working with us. I was just playing the role of the lookout man.”

Curtis’ face clouded over, and he felt speechless after hearing that.

Rayna assumed they would be returning to the homestay, but Curtis brought her out of the homestay instead.
