Chapter 282 I Have a Boyfriend Already âI have a boyfriend already!â
âOh Congrats, Ms. Staberâ
As soon as Lucy finished speaking, a deep male voice echoed in This voice is so familiarâ¦.
Lucy immediately lifted her head and met Lennonâs deep-set eyes.
Their gazes locked for a second before Lucy turned away. âCherise, you donât have to make the call anymore. Heâs here.â
Cherise turned around to see Lennon leaning against an ornate stone pillar while gazing at Lucy She smiled and waved at Lennon. âHey, weâre just about to look for you. Come over here!â
Lennon chuckled and walked over to sit beside Cherise. âHere for a free meal again?â
Cherise blushed. âDonât put it that way. I-Iâm just here with Lucy for a casual dinner.â
Then, she looked at Lucy, hoping to get her support. After all, Lucy had a ready tongue that could outwit anyone.
But to her surprise, Lucyâs cheeks were even redder than hers!
âMs. Staber, are you unwell?â Frowning, Lennon habitually felt Lucyâs forehand with his palm. âLooks like youâre having a fever.â
He snapped his fingers elegantly, and a server hurried over. âYes, boss.â
âBring us some medicine for fever.â
He arched his brows when he noticed the bottle of red wine in front of Cherise. âAnd some hangover medicine.â
In no time, the server returned with the items. Lennon received the medicine with his slender fingers and placed them in front of Lucy gracefully. âMs. Staber, can you take the medicine yourself?â
Lucy stared at him in a daze and pressed her lips. âIâm not sick.â
Lennon lifted his brows. âWhy is your face so hot if youâre not having a fever? Could it be that youâre shy seeing me?â
Lucy closed her eyes and did not respond.
Lennon put on a half-smile. I believe Iâve made it very clear the other day. Since you already have a boyfriend now, and Iâm getting along well with my blind date today, you should your interest in me and cherish your boyfriend.â
suppress After saying that, he poured himself a glass of wine and downed it. Then, he stood up and said. âThis meal is on me, Cherise. You can order whatever you like. I have to go now.â
With that, Lennon left.
Cherise wasnât a fool and had noticed something was off between Lucy and Lennon.
She looked at Lucy and mumbled, âLucy, you guys..
She knew their relationship must be more complicated than it looked on the surface.
Lucy claimed she had a boyfriend, while Lennon mentioned he was getting along well with his date.
However, neither of them appeared to be happy.
Lucy was drinking non-stop after Lennon left.
Cherise furrowed her brows and snatched the wine glass from her. âStop drinking already!â
Lucy had lost her mother when she was young, and her father had been strict in raising her. So, she rarely drank. Even if she did, she knew how to control herself, unlike now.
âDidnât you say you have a boyfriend already? But look at you now. Why do you look like youâve had a heartbreak?â Cherise asked.
