Fredric, with a knowing glance, realized she was intentionally losing to him. Aurelia was a breath of fresh air, no wonder Arnold was so smitten by her.
Aurelia slapped her forehead, "Mr. Fredric, you are always one step ahead."
Fredric chuckled, "Next time when we both are free, we'll have a real showdown."
After the party, Aurelia headed back to her apartment.
Feeling exhilarated and not quite ready for sleep, she took a shower and then sprawled on her bed, humming to the soft music playing.
Leopold came over.
He was in a bad mood, especially after being provoked by her in the lounge, and had lightened considerably watching her battle during the game. It was incredible how she could affect his mood without even trying.
Looking at him, Aurelia’s eyes sparkled with mischief, "I heard you are unbeatable in e-sports. How about we have a match sometime?"
Leopold, with a smirk, responded, "You are already feeling cocky after winning a few rounds?"
She pouted, "Don't underestimate me. I won the university e-sports championship."
It seemed like he always looked down on her. There was actually a lot of good in her, but he just didn't want to find it.
Leopold ruffled her hair, "If you lose, you have to accept a penalty."
Her heart skipped a beat, "What kind of penalty?"
