Secret Crush novel Chapter 25

At half past eleven, Leila set out on time to the place she appointed with Astrid. It was the coffee shop near their university. All of a sudden, the memory of their past came flooding back to her.

She remembered that they used to come to that coffee shop by themselves. They often hanged out there when they had no classes in college and stayed there for a whole day. At that time, they always liked talking and laughing and imagining their future.

Now that she thought about it, it was totally a shame. At this moment, what she thought about was so ridiculous, no matter in life or relationship.

When Mr. Zhang was out today, she could only hail a taxi. When she arrived at the University, it was 12 o'clock at noon. She thought that she had been late enough, but Astrid's habit of being late still didn't change. She had waited for Astrid for half an hour in the coffee shop. Just at this moment, the wind bell rang in front of the cafe. She looked over and found an eye contact with Astrid.

There was a slight smell of coffee in the air, mixed with some sort of gunpowder. Leila raised her eyebrows, looked at Astrid who was walking towards her slowly and smiled. She greeted her, "there you are."

Astrid didn't respond. She looked at Leila as if she was looking at a stranger. Leila took back her gaze and stared at her until she sat down opposite.

Although she looked plain, she had a strong character. That was her advantage. But if she behaved in a bad way, she would become domineering, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Leila, let's get down to the business."

Leila raised her eyebrows and looked at her. She agreed with Astrid. Leila didn't want to waste any time in talking to her, so she nodded and said, "what is it?"

Astrid didn't say anything. Instead, she took out a stack of documents from her bag and pushed it in front of her and said, "this is the photo of Sophia and another man having a date."

Leila raised her eyebrows, "why did you give it to me?"

With a determined look on her face, Astrid said, "I know you want it."

Leila was truly interested in the photo of Sophia and another man, but she also knew that the chip needed the same price. She waited for Astrid to tell her what she wanted, and as expected, Astrid said, "but in exchange, you have to help me get Veron."

Leila had thought of thousands of requirements that she wanted, such as money and job. As a person from an ordinary family, Leila knew that she had no job to do after graduation from college, either high or low. So Astrid had to stay at home.

But now, she had given up such a good chance to get a job. For a man, there was no ban on her, but more shameful.

It seemed that she really had a deep affection for Veron. In that case, why not give her a hand?
