“And you were so cautious–you wouldn’t tell me your home address no matter how I asked. That’s why I didn’t send you back,” Leon explained.

Megan, being carefree, waved it off. “It’s fine. You took good care of me anyway. Why don’t we just exchange contacts? I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

She felt uneasy leaving it unpaid. After all, at the bar she had even run into thugs–if not for this man, she might have been in real danger.

And what he said wasn’t wrong either. A woman drinking like that really was too risky.

Since Megan was so insistent, Leon exchanged contact details with her.

Later, when they had free time, they would meet up for drinks.

Over time, the two grew familiar with each other.

Megan pulled herself out of the memory.

So, the only reason she mixed with this group at all was because of Leon.

Otherwise, with so many hooligans, she never would have gotten so close to them.

She leaned close to Leon and whispered, “Let me tell you, she’s my best friend. Treat her well today. I brought her out to relax, so talk to your buddies too and make sure they don’t cause trouble.”

Looking at Megan’s round, earnest face, Leon’s heart softened. “Alright, I get it. Since she’s your friend, of course I’ll treat her properly.”

“That’s more like it.” Megan patted his shoulder. “I knew you were a decent guy. I wasn’t wrong about you.”

“Good. Now that you’re here, just enjoy yourself. No more of that other talk.” Leon rubbed his shoulder, his eyes softening with a hint of affection as he looked at her.

Megan didn’t think much of it and returned to Aurora’s side.

Aurora, still curious, couldn’t help but ask, “Megan, are these people you know really reliable?”

Megan waved it off. “Honestly, I only know that one guy. The rest are just his friends.”

“Then why are you still willing to hang around this circle with him?” Aurora couldn’t help but wonder. After all, the Megan she knew had never been like this.

If it wasn’t someone she was familiar with, Megan usually wouldn’t bother getting close at all.

Taking a sip of her drink, Megan let out a satisfied sigh.

“Oh, come on. When you’re out in the world, finding even one or two friends you can really get along with isn’t easy. Since he’s willing to bring me into this circle, I’m not going to refuse. We’re just here to relax, so why fuss over it?”

She had always been carefree, never one to bother with complicated thoughts.

But something about it didn’t sit right with Aurora, especially the way that red-haired man looked at Megan–it was too familiar.

It reminded her of the way Lucas sometimes looked at her.

No matter what Megan was doing, that redhead’s eyes never left her, fixed on her every move.

Aurora suddenly understood. Could it be that this red-haired man had feelings for Megan?

She glanced over at Megan, who was already laughing as she drank with the others.

Moments later, she was excitedly playing dice, completely blending into the rowdy atmosphere of the drinking table.
