Chapter 133
\nHe Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 133<\/p>\n
Stella never expected to run into Lucca Sterling here.<\/p>\n
He was sitting at a square table with two young trust-fund types. The men were laughing and talking to him, but Lucca’s expression was sluggish and bored, completely disinterested in whatever they were saying.<\/p>\n
Why would Lucca be at a place like this?<\/p>\n
The other two guys were clearly dressed in high-end designer brands. They hardly looked like the type to grab a cheap meal at a street stall.<\/p>\n
“Aria, get over here!” one of the rich guys suddenly called out, waving at a girl nearby.<\/p>\n
The girl named Aria had a delicate, innocent look. She was wearing a promotional uniform for a liquor brand. Even though it was autumn, her outfit was skimpy, leaving most of her legs exposed.<\/p>\n
At the summons, she hurried over, her thin face carrying a mix of timidity and tension. “How can I help you?”<\/p>\n
“Pour a drink for our boy Lucca and toast him. Do that, and we’ll buy your entire inventory for the night!” the guy laughed.<\/p>\n
Aria glanced at the lounging Lucca, then quickly lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Mr. Sterling. I’m not in a position to drink,” she said softly.<\/p>\n
Lucca curled his lips into a smirk, eyeing her lazily. “Not in a position, again?”<\/p>\n
“Sounds like an excuse! Lucca’s in a generous mood tonight, ready to play sugar daddy. You’d better seize the opportunity!” the friend egged on with a suggestive tone.<\/p>\n
Aria’s cheeks flushed crimson. She nervously gripped the hem of her skirt, looking entirely overwhelmed.<\/p>\n
Watching the scene unfold, Stella felt a vague sense of familiarity.<\/p>\n
She was sure she had seen this girl somewhere before.<\/p>\n
Stella hadn’t crossed paths with Lucca very often. Searching her memory, it finally clicked.<\/p>\n
It was that time at the hotel when she went to retrieve her lost earring from Professor Julian Thorne. In the adjacent banquet hall, she had seen this exact girl in a hotel uniform apologizing to Lucca.<\/p>\n
Since Lucca hadn’t engaged with the girl and Summer had shown up right after, Stella had simply forgotten about the minor incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3421","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
