Chapter 318
As for Aubree, she was heading to the hot spring resort with Bowen, but her wardrobe was completely devoid of swimsuits. She had no choice bur to go out and buy one set too.
Bowen had something to settle today, but he told her beforehand that he would come and pick her up to go to Star Lake the next day.
Aubree went to the sportswear shop alone and by sheer coincidence, ran into Milena. Aubree didn’t know her, but Milena lunged at Aubree the moment she saw her, ranting and raving like some lunatic.
“You! You here to buy a swimsuit?” Milena shricked.
Aubree turned to her. She didn’t recognize Milena, and she couldn’t be bothered with her either. Without a second thought, she grabbed the first swimsuit that seemed decent and headed straight for the checkout.
“I’m talking to you!” Milena yelled, furious at being ignored. She grabbed Aubree’s shoulder and yanked her back brusquely.
Aubree became mad as she glared at the raving lunatic.
She then shoved Milena away and demanded, “Who the hell are you?”
You don’t know me?” Milena froze for a moment, then let out another piercing shriek.
In Milena’s mind, she was the rightful girlfriend, and Aubree was just some pretender trying to steal her man. She had assumed Aubree would know her too, since she was eyeing her man.
Fortunately, Milena’s friend was more level–headed, and she pulled Milena away. “Sorry about that. We may have mistaken you for someone else.”
Aubree stared at the two briefly before walking away without another word.
“Why did you stop me?” Milena snapped.
“Did you check her background?” her friend asked.
Milena was caught off guard. It was just some young slut who thought she could steal her man. Surely there was no need to check up on such a
character.
When Milena found out that her men had been chased off by some young woman, all she cared about was the girl’s looks. She couldn’t be bothered to check her background.
“She seems to be the CEO of Bree Technology. I came across a write–up on her in my dad’s study before,” her friend explained.
Milena gave a scornful snort. “Who cares what she is CEO of? Some nobody from out of town thinks she can steal my man? Didn’t you see her buying a swimsuit just now? She’s probably scheming to seduce Trevor at Star Lake Hot Spring Resort!”
Thinking of Aubree’s undeniably pretty face, Milena puffed out her chest and proclaimed, “I’ve got to pick a really good suit. With that washboard figure of hers, she doesn’t stand a chance against me,”
If Aubree had heard that, she might have lost her cool. Because of her past malnutrition, all she gained was some extra height, no matter how she tried to make up for it subsequently. There was little else to show for her effort,
True to its name, Star Lake Hot Spring Resort was a breathtaking spectacle at night. The sky was dotted with thousands of stars, and their reflections were scattered across the lake like diamonds. In a way, it was the ultimate spot for impressing girls. Privileged young men from Südlichen Strand often bring the girls they fancy here,
Firstly, the hot springs themselves offered abundant opportunities. Secondly, the picturesque scenery made it the perfect backdrop for romantic confessions.
Bowen and Aubree reached Star Lake Hot Spring Resort by mid–afternoon.
“Ollic owns this place. He found out it’s your birthday today and insisted on throwing you a birthday bash. And it’s not just Ollie here. Mark and Alvin are here too. Ollie and Mark are my closest buddies, so I want to introduce you to them formally,”
“We can join them for some activities before dinner, and after that, it’ll just be the two of us,” Bowen elaborated. He was concerned that Aubree might feel uncomfortable in their presence.
Aubree didn’t doubt for a second that if she so much as shook her head, Bowen would immediately take her away. “Sounds great! I’d love to meet your friends.”

Bowen leaned across and gave her a gentle peck on the lips. “They’re all nice chaps.
No sooner had Bowen and Aubree stepped into the resort than Milena Yurchenko arrived, arm in arm with Trevor Wilson. When she saw Aubree ahead of her, Milena froze. ‘Aubree Miller? If that’s really her, then who’s that guy with her?‘
