    ire raised her brows at Alex question. "What do you mean by already?"


    Alex coughed nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean I thought you want to talk more about your ideas regarding, the hotel." "That''s all for now. I will contact you about the robot development."


    "Of course, I will wait for the update." Alex looked elsewhere but ires eyes.


    As ire left his hotel room, Alex closed the door and sighed, scolding himself.


    "Why did I say ''already''? It sounded like I didn''t believe she''d leave early," he muttered, running a hand through his hair.


    He had been so caught off guard by her sudden visit that his words hade out wrong. He shook his head and returned to his work, trying to


    push the awkward moment out of his mind.


    For the next two days, everything went as usual for ire, meetings, hotel site visits, and more meetings. However, she couldn''t shake the feeling that someone was watching her. It made her ufortable, though she couldn''t pinpoint why.


    Whenever she looked around, there was no one suspicious in sight. Once, she even caught someone staring at her from across the street, leaning on a pole. But as soon as a car passed by, the person was gone. ire dismissed it, telling herself she was probably hallucinating due to her hectic work schedule.


    ire identally bumped into someone in the hotel lobby. "Adrian?" she eximed, surprised.


    "ire?" Adrian responded, equally shocked. They both chuckled at their sudden encounter.


    "What are you doing in Las Vegas?" Adrian asked, curiosity evident in his tone.


    "I''m here for business," ire exined. "I have a project with Harris."


    Adrian raised his brows, intrigued. "Harris? That''s interesting. How did you end up working with him?" ire shrugged. "It''s a long story."


    Adrian nodded. "Well, since we''re both here, how about we catch up over dinner? It''s been a while."


    ire smiled warmly. "That sounds nice. I''d love to."


    "Great," Adrian said, his eyes lighting up. "I''ll text you the details."


    Later that afternoon, ire stood in front of the mirror, admiring her reflection. She wore a dark purple backless halter dress that fit her like a glove, entuating her figure perfectly. Her hair fell in soft waves around her shoulders,pleting the look. Satisfied, she headed down to the lobby, aware of the admiring nces that followed her every step.


    Adrian was waiting in the lobby, looking sharp in a tailored suit. As he turned around and saw ire, his mouth dropped open.


    "Wow, ire, you look stunning," he said, smiling broadly.


    ire blushed slightly. "Thank you, Adrian. You look great too."


    Adrian handed her a bouquet of flowers. "These are for you," he said, his smile widening.


    ire epted the bouquet with a grateful smile. "Thank you, Adrian. They''re beautiful."


    Adrian offered his elbow. "Shall we?"


    ire looped her arm through his. "Let''s go."


    They left the lobby and headed to a nearby restaurant, engaging in light conversation along the way. The restaurant was elegant, with a warm ambiance that made it perfect for a rxing evening.


    Adrian and ire were promptly escorted to the reserved table Adiian had arranged. The ambiance was serene, with soft lighting and tasteful decor creating an inviting atmosphere. They settled into their seats, and momentster, a waitress approached to take their order.


    ire nced at the menu and decided on carbonara, while Adrian opted for a steak. "We''ll also have a bottle of your finest red wine," Adrian added, and the waitress nodded, noting down their choices before heading back to the kitchen.


    Adrian turned his attention to ire, curiosity evident in his eyes. "So, ire, you mentioned earlier about your project with Harris. What kind of coboration do you have going on? Sorry for asking, you don''t need to answer if you don''t want to." ire took a sip of water before answering. "It''s fine, Adrian. I''m working with Harris Hotel on their new location in Las Vegas. Alex has a specific theme in mind, so he reached out to me for the project."


    Adrian nodded, intrigued. "That sounds interesting. Do you mind sharing what the theme is?"


    ire shook her head gently, a small smile ying on her lips. "I would but I am not allowed to cause it is confidential"


    Chapter 154 Dinner


    "Of course, I understand." Adrian leaned back in his chair, regarding her thoughtfully. "I don''t mean to pry into your private life, ire, but it seems like you and Alex know each other quite well. Is there a history there?"


    ire paused for a moment, considering how much to reveal. Finally, she answered calmly, "I wouldn''t say we know each other well; however, we did met some time ago, but I wouldn''t say I like him."


    She chose not to borate further, keeping the details of her past marriage to Alex to herself. It was a part of her life she preferred to keep private, especially given theplexities involved.


    In a way, ire doesn''t really know Alexander. Those three years of marriage doesn''t count for ire due to her amnesia. So, ire doesn''t know Alex well enough despite the people that often kept saying that Alex and ire have this...connection. Their conversation was interrupted by the arrival of their food. The waitress ced the steaming tes before them, the rich aroma of the dishes wafting through the air. ire smiled appreciatively. "This looks wonderful."


    Adrian agreed, picking up his knife and fork. "It certainly does. Bon appétit."


    As they ate, the conversation flowed naturally, with both Adrian and ire sharing stories from their lives. Adrian recounted a humorous incident from a recent business trip, making ireugh.


    If ire can be honest to herself, this dinner is probably the most rxing time she had in Las Vegas. Not to mention thepany she had makes it perfect.


    She didn''t expect to be this close to Adrian. The first time ire met him, he had a serious expression but with time it gradually softened, and ire could see the real Adrian. Turns out he is soft, sweet, caring, just the perfect man that every woman dreams of having. "I''ll be back. I''m going to the restroom." She excuse herself.


    "Of course, take your time, ire." Adrian shoot her a smile.


    ire stood up and made her way to thedies room. She touched up her makeup, applying a fresh coat of lipstick and smoothing out her hair. She turned to head back out.


    As she walked down the hallway, someone grabbed her shoulder, making her jump. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly turned around. Her expression shifted from surprise to a frown when she saw who it was. "ire,"


    "Alex," she said, her tone t.


    "Well, well," Alex said sarcastically, "it seems you have time for other men but not for me."


    It seem ire jinxed it to fast regarding this dinner is the most rxing, turns out she was wrong.


    This is the most unexpected dinner she had. From all of the restaurants in Las Vegas, why does she have to meet Alex.


    ire grew tired of this sudden encounter.


    She wouldn''t be surprised if one day Alex confessed to her that he actually stalked her.


    ire''s frown deepened. "What are you talking about, Alex?"
