Chapter 17
The truth is, I never liked this look either.
It was Leo’s idea of perfection, not mine.
The first time I attended one of his pack events, it was just after he had started his business. I had just graduated from university, and I wore what I thought was my best outfit at that time. I tried to dress up so that my appearance as Luna at leo’s side would look presentable and not disgrace him.
But the moment Aria walked in, it hit me just how different we really were.
She exuded refinement, confidence, and charm, effortlessly captivating everyone around her.
Dressed in a striking red gown, she glided through the crowd with Leo by her side, moving with such ease and grace.
He carefully shielded her from the endless flow of drinks, while she effortlessly engaged in conversations.
Meanwhile, I stood awkwardly in the corner, watching them like an outsider.
All I wanted back then was to quietly wait for Leo to finish so we could leave together, so I could escape.
But one of his colleagues spotted me and pulled me into a group for drinks.
I ended
up
drunk, and from what I was told, I made quite the scene.
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of Leo on the phone, making apology calls for the mess I had caused.
After that, I decided I wouldn’t attend his events anymore.
I didn’t want to embarrass him again.
And more than anything, I didn’t want to watch him with Aria.
Because every time I saw them together, an overwhelming wave of jealousy wold wash over me.
And Leo’s response never changed:
“It’s just work, Liz. Stop overreacting.”
