Leonel noticed her familiarity with many in the bar, but there was no hint of flirtation, just friendly exchanges.
This somewhat improved his mood.
Their conversation skirted personal matters, focusing more on work.
Finally, Alexis remarked with a smile, “Stop sending blood bags here.
I don’t need them anymore.”
Leonel’s gaze intensified.
Alexis stood up.
“I’m going to the restroom.”
Leonel nodded, watching her head toward a dimly Lit corridor.
However, after about ten minutes, Alexis hadn’t returned.
Leonel decided to seek her out.
But as he approached, his steps halted.

There was Alexis, but she wasn’t alone.
She was with a strikingly handsome man. The stranger wore sunglasses and a cap, pressing her against the wall and conversing in hushed tones.
She didn’t seem bothered.
Instead, she lightly patted his face, and he wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his head on her shoulder, whispering seemingly disgruntled words.
Leonel felt his blood surge in reverse.
Although he couldn’t hear their conversation, their body language hinted at something more than friendship, at least an emotional entanglement.
And Alexis didn’t dislike this man’s advances.
Leonel’s gaze turned frigid, fixated on her until she noticed him.
She offered a gentle smile, lowering her voice.
“Leonel, maybe you should go on ahead?”
His tone was icy.
“Are you planning to spend the night with him?”
