Leslie would come?

Aurelia looked at him in surprise and wondered if she had misheard him.

Leslie glanced at her and placed his hands in his pockets.

“Any problems?”

Aurelia shook her head.

“No, no. It’s just that my colleagues are mostly women, and their way of talking can be a bit… sarcastic.”

While having Leslie attend the department gathering could save Aurelia a lot of trouble, it was still important to make things clear to avoid any discomfort on his part.

“I know.” Leslie nodded indifferently.

Just then, he received a message on his phone.

After reading it, he frowned.

“Is there anything else you want to buy? My mom told us to head to the restaurant.

Aurelia pursed her lips and realized Leslie may not enjoy being told what to do.

After all, he didn’t seem like someone who enjoyed being manipulated.

“Leslie, if you have something to do, you can go ahead. I won’t tell Mom.”

Leslie looked displeased.

“Aurelia, am I a virus?”

Aurelia looked at him in puzzlement.

“Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?”

“Get rid of you? No, I’m just worried you might not like feeling pressured,” she explained.

“Pressured? I’ll let you know if I feel that way. Let’s go and have lunch.”

Leslie walked forward without waiting for Aurelia’s response.

“Okay.”

Aurelia followed Leslie to the restaurant.

The restaurant manager came forward to greet Leslie.

“Mr… Sir.”

Before the manager could finish, he sensed Leslie’s gaze and immediately corrected himself.

“Welcome, both of you. This way, please.”

Walking beside Leslie, Aurelia whispered, “The manager seems to know you.”

Leslie said in a deep voice, “He must’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

After sitting down, a waiter quickly approached with the dishes.

“Here’s the Romantic Parisian Couple Set for the two of you.”

Romantic? Parisian?

A couple set?

The two of them exchanged a look.

Two sets of heart-shaped steaks were placed before them.

The server took out a lighter and lit up two heart-shaped candles, saying, “Hearts of burning passion!

Aurelia dropped her utensils on the table and wondered if she really had to go through with this meal.

Leslie’s expression was even darker as he stared at the burning heart in front of him.

It was a rather amusing scene.

Once the flame went out, he cleared his throat.

“Let’s eat.”

Aurelia pursed her lips to suppress her laughter before nodding.

“Sure.”

“Is this funny?”

She tried to recall everything that made her sad and shook her head seriously.

“No. Not funny.”

She lowered her head to cut into the steak and mumbled, “Wouldn’t the heart be broken once we cut into it? What kind of couple set is this?”

“Madam, please wait. It’s not over yet,” the server said.

He took out a set of new utensils and cut each heart in half, before exchanging both halves.

“This is the unique way of dining created by our boss’s mother. It’s called the continuation of love.” Aurelia stared at the heart-shaped steak in front of her dazedly, while Leslie held his head in

resignation.

The server continued to smile.

“Please enjoy and call me if you need anything.”

But Aurelia and Leslie just stayed frozen where they were.

Where do they even start with this steak?
