My mystery lover

Chapter 57 An Awkward Encounter

While they were waiting for the dishes, they heard someone calling for Richard at the door. Judging

from the soft voice, they knew that it was Allison without turning around to have a look.

Wearing her long hair loose, Allison was in a white dress. She looked so elegant, like an angel coming

to the world.

Anyone who didn't know Allison would be attracted by her appearance. She was gorgeous and

beautiful.

At the sight of Amy and her friends, Allison stopped at the door.

"Allison, why aren't you going in?" When Richard walked over, he saw Allison standing at the door.

"Richard, our table has been taken." Allison said casually. She looked at the table that she used to like

the most. It had been taken by three annoying women.

"Then let's go somewhere else. There aren't many people around anyway." Richard also saw Amy.

Every time he was with Allison and saw Amy, he felt as if she had caught him cheating.

"But I like it here. Forget it, Richard. I'll listen to you." Allison's face was filled with grievances, and then

she became obedient.

"Then why don't we go to another restaurant?" Upon seeing Amy, Richard felt uncomfortable.

"There's no need. Richard, you're hungry. Let's stay here. I haven't enjoyed its dishes for many years. I

am looking forward to it!" They talked a lot at the door, as if they were acting. Allison was obviously

showing off, but Amy ignored her.

"Welcome. You can sit there. That table is quite nice. The view is good as well." When Mary was

serving the dishes, she saw Richard and Allison standing at the door.

She hurriedly greeted them. She shifted her gaze from Richard to Amy without saying anything. No one

knew what she meant.

"Miss, do you remember me?" A bright smile appeared on Allison's face as she greeted Mary.

Her enthusiasm made Mary feel uncomfortable. Allison had come so many times, and she was always

in a noble and cold manner, as if she hated to talk to her.

But now Mary wasn’t used to Allison's sudden enthusiasm.

"Yes. You must be Mr. Carter's girlfriend. You used to be a frequent customer here. But it seems you

have not come here for a long time." Mary was a businesswoman, and she had a quick brain.

"Miss, you have a good memory. Thank you for remembering me." Allison pretended to be a pure

woman again.

"Of course I remember you. You're so beautiful. I'll bear you in my mind at a glance. I'll never forget

you. Please sit down first. Do you want to order in the same old way?" Mary brought them to their

seats.

"Yes." Richard remembered that Amy also liked the dishes he ordered.

"Richard, I want to have a change. I'm tired of eating the same food all the time. Miss, just serve us

your specialty dishes. Three dishes and a soup will be fine." Allison noticed that Amy and her friends

were having the same dishes as they used to order. She was jealous. When she was away, Richard

brought Amy here for dinner. Sitting by her table, Richard and Amy had the same dishes when he was Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

with her.

What did all of this mean? Amy wanted to seduce Richard! Fortunately, Zoe called Allison and told her

to come back.

"Alright, do as she asks." Richard smiled at Mary.

"Okay, I'm going to prepare it now. My specialty dishes update every month. I'll serve you the latest

new dishes." Mary went into the kitchen again.

The most special thing about this restaurant was that all the dishes were developed and cooked by

Mary herself. Although it might take a little longer, the taste was very unique. Many people liked the

dishes here, so the business was pretty good.

"Amy, look at that woman. Who is she? Is she Richard's girlfriend? I've never seen her before." Hannah

didn't know Allison, but she didn't like this pretentious woman at all.

"She is his ex-girlfriend. She's been gone for five years. I wonder why she came back this time." Hilary

immediately answered.

When Amy and Hannah looked at her, Hilary realized that she had spilled the beans.

"Don't you know it? This was the big news back then. Basically everyone in R City knew that Richard

was dumped." Hilary hurriedly explained.

However, five years ago, Hannah and Amy were only fifteen years old. Of course, they didn't know

much about this, so they were fooled by Hilary.

The dishes were all served. They ordered a bottle of red wine as well to celebrate the completion of the

work and their acquaintance. Besides, they celebrated that it was Thursday today. They found all the

excuses to drink the wine.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Seeing that Amy was drinking, Richard became nervous. Didn’t Amy know

drinking wine could result in trouble? Why was she still drinking? Richard found that she had finished a

cup of wine.

"Okay, come back quickly." Allison smiled sweetly.

Richard stood up and walked up to Amy and her friends.

"Don't you have to work today?" Richard said sternly. Fortunately, they worked in his company.

"We've finished our work, so we come out and relax. Mr. Carter, you're so idle. You're even in the mood

to keep your ex-girlfriend company!" When Hilary spoke to Richard, she rolled her eyes.

The Carters didn't like Allison, except for Richard.

"Drink less wine." On hearing Hilary's reply, Richard was stumped for words. He only said this and went

to the bathroom.

However, no one listened to Richard. They all wanted to drink wine, and they quickly finished the bottle

of wine.

There was no leftover on the table.

"Alright, I'm full. I know where to buy delicious ice creams. Let's go. I'll treat you to ice cream." Hannah

stood up and patted her purse.

"Alright, I like ice cream the most. Let's go." They hadn't got drunk yet. They just didn't like to see

Allison and wanted to find another place to relax.

"Richard, why are you absent-minded during the meal? What are you thinking?" Allison noticed that

Richard had put the food in the wrong places many times.

"Nothing. I just feel happy that you're back. I was thinking about asking our friends out to get together

one day." Richard hurriedly explained. But he did want to invite Kevin and the others out for dinner, so

he wouldn't feel he had been cheating.

"Alright. I haven't seen them for a long time. We should get together." Richard planned to ask his

friends out, and it just happened to be what Allison expected. She just wanted everyone to know that

Richard belonged to her.
