Chapter 10

The combination of an attractive man and a stunning woman was bound to draw attention. Even in such a bustling crowd, Samantha and Leonardo stood out

immediately.

Xenia's friend grabbed her arm. "Xenia, look over there! Is that Mr. Garrett? He rarely visits our club, so I've hardly seen him, and I've never had the opportunity to serve him. But you've served him before. You surely know Mr. Garrett, don't you?"

Xenia looked in that direction and immediately locked her gaze on Leonardo and Samantha. They were exceptionally eye-catching.

Just with that one look, Xenia was completely stunned and lost for words. With Leonardo's outstanding appearance, how could she not recognize him? It was truly Leonardo Garrett!

Xenia's friend eagerly nudged her, brimming with excitement. "Xenia, is that Mr. Garrett? Is it really him?"

Xenia finally snapped out of her shock and nodded. "Yes, it's Mr. Garrett."

"What?" One of them gasped. "That's really Mr. Garrett? Why would he come to a place like this for supper?"

"Wow! I didn't expect this," another added. "The newcomer seems quiet and innocent, and I truly thought she's innocent. But it turned out that she simply dislikes regular customers. Probably because they're not rich enough."

"She clearly has a plan," one of them speculated. "It seems she's been plotting in secret for quite some time. When she finally takes action, she targets the most influential man."

"She really has some skills to bring Mr. Garrett here for supper," said the other.

Another friend remarked enviously, "Please, Mr. Garrett probably hasn't been to places like this before. He's just looking for something new. She doesn't deserve the credit."

Xenia stared at Samantha, a mix of hatred and jealousy swirling inside her. That night, in the private room, she had observed how Leonardo kept a distance from other women. Yet, he had allowed Samantha to sit beside him and assist with pouring wine.

Now, they were even having supper together after leaving the club. Xenia couldn't understand how someone with zero social skills could wield such undeniable charm.
