Chapter <b>318 </b>
As for Aubree, she was heading to the hot spring resort with Bowen, but her wardrobe waspletely 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 woulde 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 <b>couldn’t </b>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 <b>at </b>being ignored. She grabbed Aubree’s shoulder and yanked her back brusquely.
Aubree became mad as she red at the raving lunatic.
She then shoved Milena <b>away </b>and demanded, “Who the hell <b>are </b><b>you</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
You don’t know me?<b>” </b>Milena froze for a moment, then let out another piercing shriek.
In Milena’s mind, she was the rightful girlfriend, and Aubree <b>was </b><b>just </b>some pretender trying <b>to </b><b>steal </b>her <b>man</b>. 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 <b>away</b>. “Sorry about that. We may <b>have </b>mistaken you for someone else.”
Aubree stared at the two briefly before walking <b>away </b>without another word.
“Why did you stop me?” Milena snapped.
“Did you check her background?” her friend <b>asked</b>.
Milena was caught off guard. It <b>was </b><b>just </b>some young slut who thought <b>she </b>could steal her man. Surely <b>there </b><b>was </b>no need <b>to </b>check up on such a
character.
When Milena found out that <b>her </b>men had been <b>chased </b>off by some young woman, all she <b>cared </b>about was the girl’s looks. She couldn’t be bothered to check her background.
“She seems to be the CEO of Bree Technology. <b>I </b>came <b>across </b><b>a </b><b>write</b>–up on <b>her </b>in my dad’s study before,” her friend exined.
Milena gave a scornful snort. “Who <b>cares </b>what she is CEO of? Some nobody from <b>out </b><b>of </b>town thinks she can <b>steal </b>my man? Didn’t you see her buying a swimsuit just now? She’s probably scheming to seduce Trevor at <b>Star </b>Lake Hot Spring Resort!”
Thinking of Aubree’s undeniably pretty <b>face</b><b>, </b>Milena puffed out her chest and proimed, “<b>I’ve </b><b>got </b>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. <b>Because </b>of her past malnutrition, all she gained <b>was </b>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 theke 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 <b>Star </b>Lake Hot Spring Resort by mid–afternoon.
“Ollic owns this ce. 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 <b>are </b>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 <i>of </i>us,” Bowen borated. He was concerned that Aubree might feel ufortable in their presence<b>. </b>
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<b>, </b>Milena froze. ‘Aubree Miller? <b>If </b><b>that’s </b>really her, then who’s that <b>guy </b>with her?‘
