“Of course,he doesn’t agree,but his birthday is in a few days,and I want to save money to buy him a gift.Aurelia,you can’t tell him,alright?”
Aurelia nodded softly.“I know.It’s a surprise.”
As she watched Astrid walk away,Aurelia quietly counted the days again.Santino’s birthday,exactly the day her flight to Iceland was set to leave.
“Bitch,don’t act so high and mighty.Aren’t you just a bar girl?What are you pretending for?”The sound of a bottle shattering cut through the air.
Astrid’s hair was yanked by a burly man,her face turning pale with fear as several sleazy old men surrounded her.
“I really am not a bar girl,I’m just a waitress…”
Before she could finish,a heavy slap landed hard across her face.
Hearing the commotion,Aurelia rushed over and was met with the scene.She even recognized the man tormenting Astrid,an infamous nouveau riche,well known for using money to force women into submission.
Aurelia had already been in a foul mood,and now this man dared to cause trouble right in front of her.He must have been asking for it.
