Chapter 47 Tragedy
In a luxurious suite at the Moon Club, Isabella woke up on the bed, covered by a thin blanket and holding onto the sleeve of Sebastian's suit jacket. She looked around but couldn't find Sebastian anywhere.
Her phone was right next to her, but there still wasn’t any signal.
When Isabella got out of bed, the doorbell rang.
She went to open the door and found a waiter standing outside.
"Hello, Ms. Miller. Mr. Landon sent this," the waiter said.
The waiter had brought her a delicious breakfast on a tray, with a note written in Sebastian's handwriting. "I'm heading back to the office. You should have breakfast and get some rest at home. I'll give you a day off without deducting your salary."
At that moment, Isabella checked the clock and realized it was already past nine. She supposed the bed in the suite had been too comfortable and had made her oversleep.
Isabella quickly finished her breakfast and hurried back to school from the Moon Club.
While she showered, her phone kept on ringing. Isabella subconsciously felt that today was an important day, but she suddenly couldn't remember what it was.
After she finished showering and picked up her phone, she saw the notification for Matthew's birthday on the screen.
She and Matthew had broken up too hastily, and she had forgotten to cancel the event.
But this day was no longer important to her.
After deleting the event, Isabella put on her coat, grabbed her canvas bag, and spent the whole day at the school library.
Reading helped her calm down, and her thoughts disappeared. She felt incredibly relaxed.
A large field was next to the library, and not far away was a clear artificial lake.
The trees were lush, and the lake rippled with the reflection of the setting sun, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Isabella wanted to experience that beauty up close, so she walked toward it.
It was lunchtime, so there weren't many students by the lake. Isabella rounded a small hill and planned to sit on a bench by the lake. But as soon as she approached the bench, she saw a couple lying in the grass and kissing.
Isabella was momentarily stunned. She had seen many college students in relationships, and she had experienced love before.
But even so, she still felt awkward every time she saw a scene like that. She didn't want to disturb them and silently turned around to leave, but Leo noticed her.
Leo glanced up and immediately saw Isabella.
When Isabella saw Leo's face, she was taken aback.
Leo? Why was it him again? Why was he always kissing different girls whenever they met?
Isabella wanted to leave, but Leo kept staring at her, causing her to involuntarily stop.
The girl beneath him gave him a dissatisfied punch and coquettishly said, "Why did you stop, Mr. Anderson? Keep going, I still want to kiss you."
As the girl spoke, she stretched out her arms and climbed onto Leo's neck, pressing herself against him.
While the girl kissed Leo passionately, he maintained his position, using one hand to support himself the ground and staring straight at Isabella. He let the girl cling to him, but showed no response, appearing unusually calm.
Isabella felt uncomfortable. She averted her gaze and stood still for a few seconds before turning and leaving.
She walked quickly, not daring to look back, afraid that Leo would call out to her.
When she was almost at the library, Isabella stopped and took a deep breath, clutching her chest heavily. 'This is so strange! I'm not the one who embarrassed myself, so why did I run away?'
So, she slowed her pace and walked through the library corridor. But suddenly, she saw another affectionate couple, Samantha and Matthew.
They were hugging and kissing each other, making all kinds of sounds. Matthew lifted Samantha's dress, revealing her underwear.
"Matthew, Matthew..." Samantha kept murmuring, her voice sounding somewhat hoarse.
Matthew pressed her against the wall, deepening the kiss.
Isabella watched and felt disgusted. She turned around, wanting to walk away, but she ran straight into someone else.
Before Isabella had a chance to apologize, someone grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall.
"Leo?" Isabella looked at Leo, who had suddenly appeared in front of her, unsure of what to say. When did he catch up to her? Why hadn't she noticed?
She wanted to leave, but Leo trapped her tightly with his arm. Leo leaned closer to her and smiled meaningfully. "How did you remember my name so quickly? Are you interested in me? Do you want to have a relationship with me?"
His words were very straightforward, but Isabella didn't find it strange. After all, he seemed like a thug and was always with different girls.
She defended herself anxiously. "No, you're mistaken."
"Is that so?" Leo squinted and glanced at Samantha and Matthew. "Do you know them?"
Isabella denied it. "I don't know them."
"You don't? Then why do you look so sad?" Leo stared at her with a teasing smile, as if trying to see through Isabella's thoughts.
"I don't know them!"
Leo sneered and said, "So, you enjoy spying on people kissing."
Isabella blushed. "No, I don't!"
Leo pinched her chin. "Can't you say something else?"
Isabella didn't want to say anything to him. No matter what she said, Leo would deliberately misinterpret her. Her chin hurt from his pinch, and she gritted her teeth, glaring at him fiercely.
But her fierce gaze had no intimidating effect on Leo. Instead, he just thought that Isabella's angry expression was adorable.
"So, is this how you usually seduce people?" Leo leaned closer, almost touching Isabella's lips.
His actions scared Isabella, who quickly turned her head to avoid his touch. She saw Samantha and Matthew on the other side.
"Do you see that girl?" Leo said. "Her name is Samantha, she's my ex-girlfriend."
Isabella felt shocked when she heard that. "What did you say?"
"Are you surprised? Do you know her?" Leo looked at Isabella's face and found it quite amusing. He had interacted with all kinds of girls, but Isabella was different from all of them.
Isabella bit her lip and said, "She used to be my friend."
"Really?" Leo raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised, although his surprise was not very obvious.
Isabella continued, "And she kissed my ex-boyfriend."
Leo exclaimed in astonishment, seeming even more interested in this.
"Your ex-boyfriend is with your good friend now. Your experience is even more tragic than mine."
