Her Tears Are His Weakness

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Samantha was so engrossed in looking that she nearly lost herself. Suddenly, Leonardo lifted his gaze, and their eyes met.

Startled and flustered, she was the first to break eye contact. She felt as if she had been caught doing something she shouldn't have.

She quickly lowered her head, feigning composure as she descended the stairs. Keeping her gaze fixed straight ahead, she walked past Leonardo without glancing at him again.

"Do you work here?" he asked coldly. His tone was so calm that it revealed no emotion.

She was taken aback that Leonardo didn't realize that she was the waitress who had served drinks earlier. Then again, she had been wearing a mask and hadn't spoken much, so it was understandable that he didn't recognize her.

She gazed up and replied politely, "Yeah, I happen to work here. What a coincidence."

Leonardo casually extinguished his cigarette and tossed it into the trash can next to him.

Wanting to clear the air, Samantha took the initiative to bring up the previous incident. "I sincerely apologize for visiting the villa last time without informing you in advance. I hope you don't mind."

"It's fine."

Leonardo appeared to have moved on from it. With that, Layla's life likely wouldn't be too difficult, which put Samantha at ease.

She looked up and smiled. A gentle breeze swept by, lifting the strands of hair on her forehead, giving her an air of grace and warmth. "I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now. It's already late. You should also head back and rest early."

Samantha politely said her goodbye, already planning in her mind to stop by the night market later for a steaming hot slider and a serving of buffalo wings. Just thinking about it made her feel so happy.

"Where are you going?"

Leonardo's sudden question caught her off guard. Even he didn't know what had come over him. As he watched Samantha leave, the words slipped out

Samantha cast him a quick glance before replying, "I'm heading to the night market for supper."

Leonardo remained silent.
