Chapter 157
This is Mrs. Hawkins, a designer. Eric shifted his gaze to me and continued, “This is Camille Sanders.”
“Hi Camille reached out to me warmly.
“Pleasure to meet you!” I extended my hand too.
After a simple handshake, we released each other’s hands. Then she looked at Eric again. “I am
hungry; is there something for
cats?”
“Georgie, weren’t you going to cook pasta? Why are you still here?”
“Right: I’ll go right away!” This time, Georgie didn’t have a sour expression on her face. Instead, he
happily walked into the kitchen.
“Georgie, I want to eat vegetables! Oh, and pepper! I want lots and lots of pepper!” she yelled after him.
“You shouldn’t eat these spicy foods; it’s bad for the throat,” advised Eric.
“Didn’t you mention that you liked a husky voice?” The look she gave him was as gentle as water.
“It was just a joke.”
“To me, everything you say is important.”
“Uh…Mr. Walker, if there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.” I didn’t think it was right to stay here and play in
the third wheel. So, very tactfully, I announced my intention to leave.
“Weren’t you hungry? Why don’t you eat pasta before you go out?”
“All good. I do not like pasta.”
“Do what you want then.” With a beautiful woman accompanying him, Eric didn’t care if I stayed or
left. So I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked out the door. Unfortunately, I realized that
President Smith’s driver had taken his leave when I arrived at the gate. Annoyed, I had no choice but to
move on, hoping I could somehow hail a cab.
It was noon. So the weather was scorching hot and the sun was shining. Furthermore, this was a
private residential area outside the city. How could I find a taxi so easily? Despite walking a long
distance, I didn’t see any taxis nearby. With no other choice, I picked up my phone to call President
Smith. I was prepared to pester his driver to come get me when a car passed me and suddenly turned
back. Then the car windows rolled down and Dylan poked his head out the window. “Lily? Is it you?” As
he spoke, he opened the car door for me. “Get on.”
“I’ll wait for a taxi.”
“There are usually no taxis here,” he said. “This place is far from the city center so taxis don’t usually
come that far.”
Those words of his were the equivalent of him bluntly telling me why I hadn’t seen a taxi hide even a
hair despite waiting for so long. Although I was reluctant to see Dylan, there was no benefit to acting
tough in this situation. Besides, sitting in the car and enjoying the air conditioning would be way better
than sitting on the side of the road in the
blazing sun.
So I got into his car. Then, he curiously asked me, “Lily, why did you come here?”
“Company matters.”
“You didn’t eat, right?
“No.”

“I was about to have lunch. Why don’t we eat together?”
Compared to Eric, that stingy man who had his bodyguard cook me pasta, Dylan was much more
generous. Also, we had known each other since childhood, so he knew my food preferences. So he
took us straight to a Sichuan-style restaurant.
We ordered spicy chicken, fried chili shrimp, steamed beef brisket, tofu with crab roe, chili braised
shredded beef. and vegetables sautéed in broth. Since I had been hungry for a long time, I didn’t stand
on ceremony and dove into the food with enthusiasm.
Dylan smiled at me as he watched me eat. However, he himself did not eat much. Instead, he would
put food on my plate and constantly remind me to eat slowly. After filling my stomach with food. I put
my cutlery on the table and asked him, “Why did you come here?”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
