Chapter 1507
"Is this how you wanna play it?"
"Absolutely dull!" Aurora scoffed, her voice icy as she spoke. "We're over, Craig. Can you please keep your hands to yourself?"
As she spoke, curious glances began to drift their way from the surrounding crowd.
Though Craig released her, he immediately pulled her into a secluded corner next to the diner.
His tall, imposing figure effectively trapping her with no escape.
"Craig! What are you trying to pull?"
"Add me on WhatsApp. I'll send you the money."
"I told you, just give it to him directly! Even if you add me, I'm going to hand it over to that waiter, so let's not make this any more complicated than it needs to be!" Craig's gaze was intense, his features rugged, perhaps a product of his early entry into the workforce or his time spent among truck drivers, giving him a worldly aura. Especially when he scowled, he looked downright menacing.
"Just add me."
"No!" Aurora was stubborn, clearly upset, "Got anything else? If not, stop wasting my time. I've got plans!"
Craig pocketed his pack of cigarettes, his hands now bracing against the wall, creating a semi-enclosed space between them.
"What plans?"
"I'm meeting someone for a blind date!" Aurora met his gaze unflinchingly, "I told you when we broke up, within a month, I'll be married!"
She was serious, not treating the matter lightly.
Hearing about the blind date made Craig's frown deepen.
"Don't make rash decisions out of spite."
"Ha, we're done, Craig. What I do or who I see is one of your business. And why would you think I'm acting out of spite? You were the one who wanted the breakup. After failing to hold us together, I'm back to being single. So, what's wrong with me going on a blind date?"
They locked eyes, neither willing to back down, until her phone rang.
It was her friend.
"Aurora, my brother's already waiting inside. Have you reached the diner yet?" b friend asked with a chuckle,
"It's easy to find him. He got you a huge bouquet of roses!"

Yet, Craig, oblivious to the prize, went MIA for days before breaking up with her upon learning about her background!
"Got it, I'm heading in now."
She ended the call, turning back to Craig, "Heard that? I've really got plans. Please, step aside."
Craig, having overheard the conversation due to their proximity, stared at her for a long moment before finally stepping back. "Go ahead, I'll wait here for you."
"No need!"
"Then add me on WhatsApp. Once the transfer is done, I'll leave." He seemed unusually insistent.
Craig had only today free before he had to leave Eldorria City for a job, unsure when he'd return. "Nope! Wait if you want, but there's no need to tell me."
