Johnny felt the tension and moved behind Silvia, poking his head out. “Aria, you can’t be so violent, or you’ll—” He nced at Owen, not daring to finish his sentence.

    The next second, however, Silvia moved aside, leaving him standing there awkwardly. Johnny red at her and said, “Hey, I’m your boss. You can’t do this to me.”

    Silvia stood beside Aria, saying, “Well, my sister is way more important to me than my boss.”

    Johnny fell silent, thinking, ‘Fine, she does have a point.’

    Silvia turned to Aria, her tone gentle. “Aria, you should rest now. We’ll have a meal together next time.”

    Aria nodded. “Alright, see you.”

    ‘See you,” Silvia said.

    Silvia kept watching until they were out of sight. Then she nced back and caught Johnny staring at her. Nervous, she ooked away. “I’m heading home too. See you.”

    After two days of rest, Aria was just about to return to school when Cathy brought several friends here. Though they had only known each other for a few days, the Skills Evaluation had brought them close.

    Cathy said, “Aria, I’m serious about going to the Stars Group as a bodyguard. You don’t have to pay me. I just need a ce to tay. Is that okay?”

    Allison raised her hand. “I’m in.”

    Caroline grinned. “I’m gonna stay here for the whole two months off. Aria, you’re not gonna kick us out, are you?”

    Aria smiled and said, “What if I am?”

    Whatever. I’m not leaving.” Lizy on the couch, sighing about how nice it was to be rich. She decided that from now on, he would work hard and move in next to Aria.

    Stay as long as you want. There are plenty of rooms here.” Aria put down her phone and said, “Let’s go. We’ll have dinner at Amour Bistro.”

    Jocelyn got excited. “Amour Bistro? Hell yeah.”

    Since it was a girls’ night, Owen didn’t join them. The manager, Neil Flores, after knowing Aria wasing, decided to call the person who reserved the premier suite to ask if he could switch to another room.

    Coincidentally, the private room was reserved by Tristan. He had been nning this meal for a while and, when he heard Aria would be taking the room, he called Zoe immediately.

    He said, “Zoe, I’m sure you know the Palmer Group’s projects have hit some snagstely. I finally managed to secure a meeting with Mr. Kramer from the Hayes Group. I want you to call Aria and tell her not to ruin things here.”

    Zoe couldn’t help butugh. “Tristan, I’m afraid I can’t. I’m no one to tell Aria what to do.”

    Tristan frowned. “You’re her mother, and I’m her uncle. She won’t say no to this.”

    Zoe said directly, “I can’t help with this. Don’t cause trouble for Aria, or the Saxon Group won’t look out for the Palmer Group anymore.” With that, she hung up the phone.

    As soon as Aria got out of the car, she got a call from Mono. “I’m at the airport. Come pick me up.”

    “Mr. Smith, you always catch me off guard.” Aria said helplessly, “Fine, I’ming to get you now.”

    Cathy asked curiously, “Who is it? Is it the man who taught you traditional medicine?”

    “No, he’s the one who taught me painting,” Aria replied.

    “Wait, can you also paint?” Cathy eximed.

    Aria said, “Yeah. I’ll take you to the restaurant first. Then I’ll go to the airport to pick him up.”

    Cathy said, “Go ahead. We can go there ourselves. If Mr. Smith doesn’t mind, we can have dinner together.”

    Just then, Neil came over. Aria talked to him and went to the airport.

    As Neil led the way, someone suddenly stepped out and blocked their path. “Mr. Flores, I won’t give up the premier suite. Aria is my niece. I’ll talk to her.”

    Hearing the word “niece”, the girls all looked up at Tristan in surprise.

    Neil replied politely, “Rules at Amour Bistro can’t be broken. We’ve arranged another private room for you.”
