Once everyone stopped paying attention to Alex as he began to eat in peace and converse with the others, Aurora took out her cell phone and typed a quick text to him.
"What are you doing, Alex? You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
After Aurora sent the text, she continued to enjoy her dessert, a caramel pudding, while listening to their conversation.
However, she heard Alex's voice near her ear not long after.
"I'm sorry for surprising you. I wanted us to have lunch together, but Patrick said you'd already gone to the cafeteria. So, I had no choice but to follow you here." Alex whispered, just for Aurora's ears to catch his words.
Aurora was speechless.
She thought he had come for a random inspection in some parts of this Stardust Tower, like he usually does with Jimmy.
Before Aurora could respond, she felt his hand rest gently on her back, prompting her to suddenly turn and give him a slight glare.
