Her Tears Are His Weakness novel Chapter 279

After snapping a quick photo, Elena tucked her phone away and flashed a playful smile. "Relax. I'm not into gay guys."

"What are you talking about?" Wesley asked.

"Don't play dumb. I know that guy next to you is a male escort," she explained, pointing at Simon.

Wesley felt a migraine coming on.

Simon looked even more pissed off. "You've seriously misunderstood."

Backstage at the competition, he had been too busy resolving something urgent to explain himself, and now? He had coincidentally bumped into her again.

In an attempt to set the record straight, he gave Elena an explanation then and there, even dragging Leonardo in as a witness.

Leonardo had never seen Simon so desperate to clarify something that he decided to back him up.

Elena nodded slowly. "I see."

Simon huffed. "What do you mean? That's how it's always been."

Elena grabbed a napkin, folded it into a tiny airplane, and tossed it aside lazily. It flopped midair before landing perfectly in Simon's hand.

With a dazzling grin, she explained, "What a shame. I was thinking of getting you next time. Guess that's off the table now."

Pausing for a second, he then murmured, "Well… I wouldn't say no, if you really want to."

"What?"

Leonardo casually responded, "As long as it's outside work hours, I don't mind you taking on side gigs."

"Thanks, Mr. Garrett!"

Elena was at a loss for words. So the cold, ruthless, by-the-book Leonardo from the rumors… was actually a chill person?

Wesley pulled out the chair next to Leonardo, about to sit down when he caught a glance from Leonardo—a cold, silent look heavy with meaning.

Leonardo hadn't said a word, but Wesley immediately understood, knowing that he prioritized Samantha over his friends. That was her seat.

Still, since he never said anything, it was a way of giving Wesley an out. Smoothly moving one seat over, Wesley sat down and looked at Elena with curiosity.

"They say you used to be a proper socialite back in Mariton and had a sheltered upbringing, yet you're out here in Jedo booking male escorts."
