He was with an elegant woman in her early 3@s that looked beautiful and had a nice figure.
Alexis immediately recognized her as Hester Molina, a familiar face in the television business in Duefron.
Right now, she was standing right beside Leonel, her arm entwined with his in an intimate manner.
Alexis quietly observed them for a brief moment without saying a word.
Since they were divorced, she had made up her mind to avoid speaking to him unless they absolutely had to.
She only greeted him with a nod and turned to leave, but Leonel stopped her by calling her name.
Alexis stopped in her tracks.
It took a moment before she turned around, pasted a friendly smile on her face, and asked him, âLeonel, whatâs up?â
But Leonel simply stared at her in silence.
After a while, he took Hesterâs hand.
Alexis looked at them calmly and in silence.
She could see that Leonel was flaunting his new relationship in her face.
âHowâs it going with that guy Hank?â Leonel suddenly asked.
Alexis couldnât help but chuckle.
âWhat answer do you want to hear?â she asked him.
Leonel didnât say anything at first.
But after a moment of silence, he said with a chuckle, âForget it.
I just want to introduce my girlfriend to you.
This is Hester.
â
He said it in such a casual manner as if nothing had happened between him and Alexis.
Hester felt a bit awkward about it all, but Leonel seemed totally unaffected.
âThis is Alexis.
Sheâs my sister,â he said to Hester.
Since she was only hired to play Leonelâs girlfriend and now he had introduced Alexis as his sister, Hester could do nothing but treat her as his sister.
âHello, Iâm Hester Molina,â she said to Alexis while extending her hand for a shake.
âIâm Leonelâs girlfriend.
â
Alexis looked at her delicate hand but did not touch it.
Instead, she turned her attention to Leonel again.
She wanted to get an answer from his expression.
She wanted to know if he really wanted to sever the last emotional bond that still existed between them.
But Leonel only looked indifferent and didnât seem like he gave a damn.
It was clear that he was determined to distance himself from what they once had just because of his new girlfriend.
