Chapter 208

Chapter 208

Anya followed Evan to the car and got on. The Bentley was driven out of the carpark soon after. Sydney was still stunned and did not move an inch. Her eyes were bloodshot with jealousy. She continued gazing after them for a few more seconds before a thought came into her mind. She quickly jumped back into her car and tailed them. She needed to verify if the two of them were really dating or they were an item.

The restaurant for their lunch appointment was secluded. But the environment was serene and conducive. It would not be a surprise that the restaurant was popular among celebrities and affluent people.

Anya and Evan entered the restaurant. The waitress recognized Evan immediately and led him passionately to the table by the window as per his reservation.

When they reached the table, Anya was about to sit opposite Evan. But Evan shot a judging glance at her and said, “Come,

sit beside me.”

Anya pursed her lips. She was cautious and unwilling to budge. “Mr. Welton, I'm good here.” She had been guarded against Evan and she had a hunch that this lunch wouldn't go by as smoothly as she had hoped

Evan could guess what Anya was thinking. He held the glass of water with his slender fingers and drank a sip of warm water. “You want me to sit beside Ms. Mars? So, you want rumors to fly between us?”

Anya frowned as she did not have the intention of doing so. But it should be fine if Lola sat beside her?

“I can sit with Ms. Mars actually. That way, there wouldn't be any rumors about both of you.”

"We are representing Welton Group for this lunch. Do you think it is an appropriate business etiquette to sit beside her in this case?” Evan had been used to business appointments since he had been at it for a few years. There was no way this newbie would be able to win the argument.

Indeed, Anya could not think of a good rebuttal. Being a fresh graduate in the working world, she was still leaming ropes of the business world and could be led on easily. She could not win Evan in terms of experience and negotiation skills. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She paused to think for a while and eventually sat down beside the demanding man. Now that she was seated beside Evan, she could smell the faint minty cigarette smoke from him. It added on to his muscular scent that made Anya purse her lips even more. She purposely held back on any drastic reactions and sat slightly away from Evan, just in case he got the wrong idea.

In the next ten minutes, Lola arrived at the restaurant. Sydney, who was tailing Anya, secretly followed behind. Sydney did. not dare to show her face in front of them, so she chose a table that was on the other end where she could still observe them. As she watched them, she started drawing up some guesses. If the two of them were here on a date, why would they invite Lola? So, this possibility was ruled out. The only thing that could relate the appearance of the three of them together would be the incident reported this morning. That would make sense if Evan brought Anya over to apologize to Lola for the incident.

Sydney concluded that they were not an item and that it was a business lunch. It was just Anya trying to get some attention from Evan by wearing that attention—catching dress. What a wretch! So despicable that she would resort to any

tactics just to attract Evan. Sydney kept cursing Anya in her heart until she was calm enough to place her order. She planned to continue monitoring them while she ate her lunch.

Sydney's phone rang. It was her direct manager calling her to come back to the office for a meeting. Why would there be a meeting when it was lunch time? Sydney was unwilling but couldn't wiggle her way out of it. She reluctantly gave up on her lunch plans and exited the restaurant from the other side..

Back at Anya's table, Anya started apologizing sincerely once Lola settled down. “Ms. Mars, I am really sorry about this morning's matter.”

This was not what Lola wanted from Anya. Since Evan had given her a call earlier, it did not matter to her if this apology came or not. She was only concerned about how to resolve this issue. She said, “It is fine. I don’t think you did this anyway.”

Anya did not think that Lola would believe her. She was half expecting Lola to throw her temper at her, but she did not.

Anya replied gratefully, “Ms. Mars, thanks for believing in me.”

"Actually, there is something that is bothering me. How did my pre-wedding photos got leaked out?” Lola asked as she looked at Evan, who behaved like Anya's guardian angel, and back at Anya. 2/2
