After hearing that, Aurora perked up.

"I get it! Thanks! If I find a boyfriend, you'll get all the credit! Love you, Cece! So, where are we meeting for these late-night snacks? I'll head over right now!"

That was when it struck Claudia; she didn't know the answer herself.

She turned to Bennett and queried, "So, where should we go for these snacks?"

"I'LL text you the address in a bit."

"Sounds good!"

After instructing Aurora to hang tight for a few minutes, Claudia returned her attention to unpacking her suitcase.

She couldn't help but feel excited about the late night outing to come.

Claudia neatly folded the clothes taken out of the suitcase and tucked away the bags that Aurora had asked her to purchase.

Not long after, Breck texted Bennett, who then forwarded the meeting location to Claudia. Both changed their outfits before heading out.

In an interesting twist, Breck initially had plans with Duncan, but

Duncan had a change of heart at the last minute.

He was originally not keen on witnessing Claudia and Bennett's public affection, but the inclusion of Claudia's friend Aurora made him rethink his decision.

Having finished her makeup and outfit change, Aurora descended the stairs and hailed a taxi. She arrived at the venue ahead of Claudia.

Inside the private room, she found only Breck. Confused, Aurora stepped out to double-check the room number. Confirming she was in the correct place, she reentered and broke the ice.

“Hello, are you

Mr. Santos?"

Breck had encountered Aurora a few times but didn't know her well.

Initially hesitant to greet her when she entered, he now confirmed,

"Yes, but just call me Breck. Mr. Santos feels overly formal."

Taking his cue, Aurora switched to using his first name.

"Breck, have

Cece and Mr. Dreskin not arrived yet?"

“They said they'd be here in about five minutes."
