She pulled out her phone and made a call. "Adeline," she said when the call connected, "you can come in. We're waiting for you."
From the other end, Adeline's voice replied, "I'm already outside the private room."
Aurora smiled. "Then enter."
A few seconds later, the door opened, and Adeline walked in. The moment Alex saw her, his eyes widened slightly in surprise. Adeline also froze when she saw Alex sitting there.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. The air between them felt a little awkward, but Aurora found it amusing. She almost laughed but managed to keep her expression calm.
Honestly, she had seen this kind of moment in movies many times. But seeing it happen in real life without background music felt even funnier.
She looked at Adeline and said casually, "Do you know Alex?"
Adeline quickly snapped out of her trance and nodded slightly. "Yes," she said softly. "I know him by chance."
Aurora nodded. "I see. Please sit down."
