Chapter 142 Secret Date and Hidden Betrayal

Unfortunately, I have never fulfilled this wish.

I hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Okay, which cinema?"

After I got the address, I had Marcel take me to a shopping mall. The cinema was on the fifth floor. Alberto was already waiting for me there.

Alberto dressed elegantly, wearing a pair of glasses. He held two cups of coffee in his hands and carried a bag of popcorn. When Alberto saw me, he smiled and said, "Ms. Scott, I'm here!"

I walked over and Alberto handed me a cup of coffee, "I don't know if you like it or not. If you don't like it, I'll go buy another cup."

I shook my head, "No need, I like coffee."

Alberto chose a romantic comedy movie. I had no objections. When the movie started, the two of us found our seats and sat down. He whispered, "Drink your coffee while it's hot."

"Okay," I held the coffee and took a sip.

The movie was really good. It was very funny. I thought I would fall asleep while watching it, but after finishing it, I laughed so hard that tears came out of my eyes.

I set my phone to silent, so it wasn't until after I left the movie theater that I saw Frederic's missed call.

I called back, but the other person was still on the call. I didn't pay any more attention and directly left the mall with Alberto. He said he wanted to take me for supper.

"I knew a barbecue restaurant. The barbecue there was very good. That place also had white wine. Can you drink some wine?" Alberto asked me as we walked.

"I can, but I shouldn't drink too much," I replied. If I drink too much and act crazy, I would be embarrassed.

The wind was howling outside the shopping mall, but it was still bustling. The barbecue restaurant Alberto mentioned was just across the street. The two of us braved the cold wind and headed toward our destination. Along the way, he kept trying to find topics to talk about. I simply answered with a few words.

Alberto was actually a very good conversationalist. He always managed to find topics that interested me. He displayed a gentlemanly style in everything he did.

After arriving at the barbecue restaurant, the two of us ate barbecue and drank wine, enjoying our conversation. Alberto and Ruben were different. Alberto was a bit more mature. We talked about some topics and had similar thoughts.

I didn't like owing others. So I took the opportunity to go to the restroom as an excuse and went to the front desk to prepare for payment.

When Alberto found out, he immediately rushed over. He took out his phone and opened it, saying, "I'll pay!"

I accidentally glanced at his phone screen. My eyebrows involuntarily furrowed.

"Alright, I'll take you back," Alberto said to me after he paid. His car was parked nearby.

"No, thank you. I have a friend who is also eating nearby. I contacted him. He will come to pick me up later," I politely declined Alberto.

"It's okay. You don't have to bother anyone. I'll give you a ride, it's the same." Alberto looked at me earnestly, "Ms. Scott, do you believe in love at first sight in this world?"

I gave a faint smile and said, "I believe. But I believe more in the wickedness of human hearts."

Just now, Alberto opened Line when he was checking out. I saw his latest message contact, which was labeled as Leonel Fitch.

There are many people in the world with the same name and surname. But I don't believe that "Leonel Fitch" on Alberto's phone is someone else.

I remembered what Janessa said. Leonel blamed me for the reason they broke up. Janessa warned me to be careful of retaliation.

It was my carelessness. I thought if Leonel wanted to retaliate against me, he would personally stab me. I didn't expect him to find accomplices to approach me. I didn't know what they wanted to do.
