Chapter 23 Stick
The restaurant looked old on the outside, but the inside was clean and tidy. Laura found a seat in the corner. She said jokingly while pulling out a chair. “I thought rich people like you would only eat in fancy hotels. I didn’t expect it to be so reasonable.”
In a few minutes, Marcus ordered dishes adroitly.
“It’s just that I have a good relationship with the owner of this restaurant. And it does taste good.” Marcus ordered the recommended dishes. The owner received the order, and quickly recognized that this was his old friend coming!
The door of the back kitchen was opened, and the owner came out with a big smile. “Marcus, I haven’t seen you for a while.” He noticed the existence of Laura, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face, “She’s ….” The owner’s smile grew a little more ambiguous, “You’ve never brought any woman to my restaurant before – you two look quite a good match, you …”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Ahem.” Laura was drinking water when she heard this and accidentally choked
Marcus looked at Laura, wanting to pat her back, but restrained himself for etiquette. He could only take out the paper on the table and hand it over, “Laura, are you okay?”
“Ahem. … I’m fine.” When Laura finally calmed down, Marcus then diverted his attention. Facing his friend’s flirtation, he did not avoid it, but smiled lightly, and said “yes”.
“I do have a crush on Miss Taylor.”
Marcus lowered his head and studied the menu as if nothing had happened, ignoring the astonished looks of the others.
“Is this a new addition? Try one.”
…
“Is it Laura?” They were talking and laughing in the restaurant and were unaware that a figure was hiding outside the door.
Henna peeked beside the door. The more she looked, the more she was sure that the person in the corner was Laura. She said contemptuously, “She’s really from the countryside to eat in such a small restaurant.”
Suddenly, Henna thought of something and scratched her hair. Her tone became grumpy, “If my car hadn’t broken down, I wouldn’t have come to this damn place!” She had come to this restaurant to ask for help, but now she had a surprise. She watched the interaction between Marcus and Laura carefully and gradually felt that something was wrong. Because Henna could only see Marcus’ back, she didn’t recognize who it is.
She watched for a while, then took out her phone to take several pictures, and sent them all to Lily.
“Lily, look what I found out! Your sister is having a private meeting with a man!”
The phone that was placed on the dresser lit up with a beep. Lily put on her lipstick before the mirror. She absently picked up the phone and looked at it. When she saw the pictures, she froze. And then she felt excited! She was worried about how to deal with Laura, and now, the opportunity was brought to her!
Well, sister, don’t blame me. You’ve only got yourself to blame.
