” I can’t help it. I’ve seen many people like you in the entertainment circle. ” Eliza ignored his gaze.
“I’ve also seen many women like you.” Chester swirled his glass. “Trying to attract my attention, just like…”
His eyes darkened, and he suddenly fell silent.
Eliza’s cold eyes were full of indifference. After waiting quietly for him for a while and noticing that he did not continue his sentence, she continued to eat.
Her indifferent attitude made Chester’s eyes turn cold. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
” I don’t know what to say. If I say I don’t want to attract your attention, you’ll call me hypocritical. If I say I do want to attract your attention, you’ll call me cheap.”
Eliza ate a slice of fish, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it before saying, ” So I should shut up, lest you threaten to shut me out again.”
Chester looked at her slow movements, and the undercurrents in the depths of his eyes surged.
Mireya wanted to speak up for Eliza at first. However, she burst out laughing after hearing Eliza’s words. ” That’s true. Men are so senseless sometimes. Let’s eat.”
Halfway through, Chester got up and went to the washroom.
When he was washing his hands, Shaun came out from behind. “Hey, you really embarrassed me tonight. Cate was the one who invited Eliza. I don’t care what grievances you’ve had with her before. Did you need to target her so many times during the meal?”
“Did I?” Chester did not react to it at all.
“Didn’t you?” Shaun glanced at him sideways. “Let me describe what you look like now. You look like you want to sleep with her, but she has rejected you, so you’ re unreconciled and want to ruin her fun in order to find a sense of being.”
“You’re nuts.” Chester scolded him.
“You never used to be like this.” Shaun pulled a paper towel and wiped his hands.
Chester frowned and took a drag on his cigarette. “By the way, why is Eliza here? When did Mireya and Cate know her?”
“I’m not too sure either. I saw her sitting with Cate and the others when I finished the lawsuit. Rodney said they only met today.”
“Eliza went to see you in court?” Chester raised his brows.
“Yeah.”
Shaun then went into the gents.
When they returned to the room, they found Eliza’s seat empty.
“Eliza said something came up, so she left.” Mireya looked at Chester frustratingly. “Young Master Jewell, I know that Eliza is only an actor in your eyes. You can look down on her, but you can’t go too far with your words.”
Perhaps it’s because she came from Melbourne that she resented the superiority of the nobles in Canberra.
If it were in the past, she would endure it. However, she was now Nathan Snow’s adopted daughter, so she did not want to tolerate it.
“Don’t make it seem like all women want you for your money and status. Yes, there are women like that, but…”
“How long have you known Eliza?” Chester interrupted her. “Two hours? Three hours? Do you know her true personality?”
“Yes, we’ve known each other for a short time, but there’s affinity when it comes to making friends.
It’s like… that year when Cate and I liked being friends with Charity, but you men didn’t. ” Mireya sneered. “What do you like? Sarah, or types like Cindy?”
Chester narrowed his eyes coldly. Rodney understood Chester well and knew that he was getting angry. As such, he quickly said, “Mireya, cut the cr*p. Maybe Eliza is an artiste in Chester’s company, so Chester knows her a little better.
Besides, your status isn’t ordinary now. Many people will deliberately try to curry favor with you. You have to be a little wary.”
Mireya found his words ear-piercing. “Thank you for your reminder. Although I don’t have many friends, I know what kind of friends I do have. At the very least, since I was young, I have never made any mistake except for befriending Cindy.”
Cate coughed while holding her water.
If Chester had not helped her the other day, she would have given Mireya a thumbs up.
Mireya was still the best at stabbing knives into people.
“You don’t know how to tell good from the bad.”
Chester’s handsome features turned extremely cold and hard.
After all, Cindy was the woman he was going to marry. Hence, Mireya’s cold mockery time and time again made the proud Chester humiliated.
“That might be true, but I finally understand how suffocating it was for Cate when she hung out with you guys three years ago.”
Mireya stood up and smiled at Cate. “Cate, I’m full. I’ll leave now.”
“I’ll send you back.” Cate immediately stood up.
“No need. You stay with Shaun. I’ve eaten too much, so I want to take a stroll.” Mireya waved her hand and left immediately.
Less than half a minute later, Rodney got up. ” I’ll see her off.”
Just like that, the room fell into a weird atmosphere.
Chester poured himself a glass of wine and said faintly, “I didn’t expect myself to become the most unwelcome one tonight. Forget it. I’ll leave too so that I don’t have to be the third wheel.”
Everyone suddenly left, and Cate shrugged speechlessly. “Let’s not hold this kind of get- together next time. My friends and your friends find each other disagreeable.”
“I underestimated how much they don’t see eye-to-eye.” Shaun hastily wrapped his arms around Cate. “I’m sorry, Cate. I don’t know what got into Chester today. Perhaps he’s worried that Eliza is approaching you with an ulterior motive.”
“If she really has an ulterior motive, she wouldn’t approach Mireya and me since we’re women. It’s more realistic to try to get close to men with money and status.”
Cate shrugged. “She’s from the entertainment circle. What can she get by approaching us? Let me sell her a house at a discount? Or let Mireya send her a few bottles of skincare products for free?”
“Heh, that’s true. ” Stunned at her words, Shaun laughed.
“Besides… for some reason, I feel very close to Eliza when I see her.” Cate suddenly said. ” Although we only met this afternoon, every time our eyes meet, I feel like I’ve known her for a long time.”
“Cate, I’ll get jealous if you say that.” Shaun frowned, looking jealous. “Tell me honestly. Did you… have a sense of familiarity with me when we first met? As if I was the perfect man for you, and you knew that you would be with me forever.”
Cate spat out the wine in her mouth. She was going to laugh herself to death because of Shaun.
Be with him forever? Where did he learn stuff like that?
“What are you laughing at? I’m serious.” Shaun gritted his teeth and said shamelessly.
When Cate was done laughing, her lips curled. “Then let me ask you. Did you feel that way when you first saw me?”
“My memory was tampered with by Sarah. But if I still remember, I would definitely have had that feeling, ” Shaun said brazenly.
“Forget it. The first time you saw me, you thought I was a lunatic, and the first time I saw you, I took you as my prey.” Cate then leaned into his ear. Since she had drunk a little wine, her head was a little warm, and she nibbled on his earlobe gently.
The string in Shaun’s mind snapped with a ¡®buzz’.
He pulled Cate into his chest as hard as he could.
“What are you doing? Let go.” Cate struggled. After all, they were in a public space. What if the waiter came in?
“What do you think I’m doing? Since you provoked me, you’d have to take responsibility.” Shaun laughed with his husky voice and lowered his head to seal her mouth with a kiss.
Cate leaned in his arms. She felt very comfortable.
After some time, she heard Shaun vaguely say, ” I still like it when we have dinner alone. It’s too noisy when there are many people around.”
“Yeah…”
On the esplanade.
Mireya did not drive since she came in Cate’s car, and although there was a lot of traffic here, most of them were private cars.
Hence, she took out her phone and tried to call for a taxi.
