Chương 54: Chasing Ghosts of Romance

Leon looked up from the meal as Astra entered the room, his face breaking into a warm smile.

"Hello," he greeted her.

Astra returned his smile. "Hey," she replied, taking a seat beside him and lending a hand in unpacking the food. They began to eat, and Leon couldn't help but ask, "How did the gala go?"

Astra's smile was radiant as she responded, "Just as I expected. I managed to secure three new clients, and they even gave the green light to my plans right before I left for lunch. Good thing I work swiftly."

Leon's smile grew wider. In his eyes, Astra was an exceptional and dedicated professional. "Congratulations. I knew you'd succeed."

Astra's gentle smile quickened Leon's heartbeat. Her grey eyes sparkled with beauty, and he couldn't help but steal glances at her.

Returning to his meal, Leon inquired, "Did you do anything besides networking?"

Astra explained, "I placed bids on a sword, necklace, and a vacation."
