She felt embarrassed. What was she thinking? She thought about what Celia said to her the other day. Celia told her that she seemed innocent on the outside and was not in the inside. She was the lustful kind of woman.
Sherry thought about it and Celia might be right!
âI didnât eat anything and entertained you all day, shouldnât you at least make me a meal?â
âYou...â Sherry was tongue-tied.
William parked the car by the road and Sherry got off the car. Celia was already waiting at the entrance.
She stared at the royal blue Bugatti and was taken aback. She walked over, but she didnât go up to Sherry. Instead, she knocked on the window near to the driverâs seat.
William wound down the window and peeked his head out, âWhat?â
âMr. Rowland, for the first time you made a good decision, you brought Sherry back to me. Otherwise, I would have go to you and get her back!â Celia wanted to give him an earful. She didnât think that he would halt her and take Sherry away in the airport.
William was stunned, but then he smiled, âMiss Hickman, Sherry is fortunate to have you as a friend!â
âStop your flattery. Tell me, what do you think about Sherry?â Celia pressed her hand against the car window that was wound down halfway. âIâm telling you, donât you dare bully her. I donât care if youâre my brotherâs friend or whatnot. Iâll give you hell if you ever bully Sherry!â
âCelia!â Sherry walked around the car and tried to pull Celia away, âLetâs go in!â
William snickered, he didnât answer any of Celiaâs question. Instead, he asked, âI want to bring her on holiday. Can you take care of Dan in the meantime?â
What? Celia was dumbfounded.
âHey! You havenât answered my question!â Celia wasnât going to let him off the hook.
William looked at Celia and turned his head towards Sherry who looked distressed. His gaze softened, âSheâs my lover! Miss Hickman, are you content with my answer?â
Celia was shocked, but she then laughed abruptly. She replied without hesitation, âSure! Go on your holiday and Iâll take care of Dan. Sam...Is it Samuel? I also want to see meet Samuel, bring him to me. Iâll bring both of them on a trip!â
âCelia!â Sherryâs heart was beating fast as she listened to their conversation. He said âloverâ. He announced that in front of Celia so seriously. She felt touched.
âWait, one more question1â Celia tapped Sherry on the back as she said, âWilliam, you have to promise that you will never abuse Dan. Dan is also my dear child, nobody can treat him badly with me around!â
William thought she was joking, but he nodded and replied, âYouâre thinking too much! Dan is a cute child, how could I abuse him? Can I go now?â
âFine!â Celia wasnât expecting William to say that, but she was very satisfied with his answer. âOkay, Sherry. Letâs go in, weâll drink till we drop!â
William glanced at Sherry and his eyes flickered. He wound up his window and drove away.
Celia stared at the Bugatti as it passed her by. She was conflicted. âLoverâ, was she good enough to be his lover? Did she have the right to love somebody?
âWhat are you looking at?â asked Celia as she lightly tapped her shoulder. Celia was elated, âSherry, this guy is so handsome. I heard that he was a women-killer, but he got subdued by you!â
âStop talking nonsense! I didnât do anything!â Her face was beet red.
Celia smirked. She then noticed a hickey on Sherryâs neck, she smiled even more wickedly. She inched close to Sherryâs face and grinned, âSherry, can I ask you a question?â
âWhat?â Sherry was confused.
âDid you guys just did it?â asked Celia as she laughed, âTell me, howâre his skills in bed?â
âCelia...â Sherry pushed her away. She wanted to dig her hole and stuck her head in it. âYou...youâre so mean!â
Celia laughed out loud. âI see, youâre saying that heâs great in bed. Look at your face, itâs as red as a tomato! Hahaha... Okay, Iâll stop teasing you.
Letâs go in!â
They walked into the restaurant and saw Susan. She was sitting by the window and was dressed up very nicely as usual. She looked like an independent woman.
âSue is over there!â said Sherry.
âYeah!â Celia turned around and saw a person with a large build standing not far away from the column. It was her brother, and he was looking at Susan. Celia knew that her brother always stared at Susan whenever she was here.
Sherry looked in Celiaâs direction seeing that Celia halted in her tracks. She noticed that Leon was smoking in the corner of the restaurant and was staring at Susan.
She was taken aback and was puzzled.
âLetâs go over there!â Celia yanked Sherry with her and walked towards Susan. Susan was sitting alone. She ordered a cup of coffee and a steak.
The steak was untouched.
âSue!â Sherry hadnât seen her in a long time. The first and last time they met was during the fashion show.
âOh! Sherry, itâs you!â Susan was surprised. She noticed that Celia was there as well and was slightly startled. But she smiled brightly as she said, âCelia, how are you?â
Celia sat down in front of her and said intrusively, âIâm fine, but someone isnât!â
Sherry didnât know why Celia was talking like that. She lightly yanked her shirt.
Susan didnât mind Celia, she smiled and sipped her coffee.
Suddenly, Leon walked over. He probably did so after seeing that Celia and Sherry went up to Susan. He was afraid that they would be up to something.
âHey! The bad person is here!â said Celia coldly.
Sherry realized that maybe something was going on with Leon and Susan.
Susan was dismayed, she stared at Leon and smiled politely, âWhy are you here? Are you not busy?â
Leon peered at Susan. He looked indifferent and nonchalant as he said, âRiley, make Celia and Sherry each a cup of coffee and a steak!â
âBrother!â Celia got worried, âSit here!â
Celia gave him her seat and Leon was sitting right in front of Susan. Now he could look into her eyes and talk to her.
Sherry was sitting next to Susan. She didnât know what happened between Leon and Sue. As things were looking, something bad happened between them.
She felt awkward and hinted Celia to leave with her so that they could sit at another table. But Celia sat down and wasnât going to leave.
Susan was still smiling politely and plainly. She drank her coffee elegantly, âThe coffee tastes good, Leon. Your coffee is quite unique!â
âAre you praising me?â asked Leon as he stared into her eyes.
âHowâre your parents doing?â Susan didnât answer his question and asked him a question instead.
âTheir only sonâs soon-to-be wife ran away and became a monk, never approaching a single woman for 5 years. How would they be doing?â said Leon sarcastically.
Susan was shocked. She lowered her head, and her eyes were dim.
Leon didnât say anything else but continued to stare at her.
Sherry noticed that the expression in Leonâs eyes was complicated. Leon probably loved Sue very much.
Susan didnât say a word as she looked down. At this time, the waiter brought the food and drinks over.
Susan still didnât say anything. She held up her fork and knife elegantly and started eating.
Sherry could tell that Leon was holding himself back. It seemed like there was a lot that he wanted to ask, but it all balled up into a deep sigh. He stood up and said plainly, âEnjoy the meal, Iâll be back to work!â
Susan smiled and said, âGo ahead!â
Celia chased after Leon worriedly. Only Sherry and Susan were left at the table.
âHow are you doing recently, Sherry?â asked Susan. She was still smiling as if nothing had happened.
âSue, Iâm great. How about you?â Sherry didnât know what else to say and wanted to ask the question in her mind so badly. She glanced at Leon who left hurriedly and couldnât help herself but asked, âYou and Leon...â
âWe were classmates!â Susan interrupted Sherry. âSherry, the steak here tastes great. Try it!â
It was obvious that Susan didnât want to talk about it.
Celia had a sour look on her face when she came back. She stabbed the steak harshly and asked, âSue, I donât understand. If you donât like my brother, why do you come to his restaurant? You are hurting him on purpose.â
Susan was bewildered. Her hands trembled, but she still maintained her smile, âThis is a restaurant. I like the vibe here and hence I come here to eat!â
âYou were almost my sister-in-law, Sue. You were my future in-law and you suddenly disappeared. You broke up with my brother through a text message and now you consistently appear before him. Donât you think itâs weird?â asked Celia furiously.
Sherry finally understood what was going on. Susan and Leon were in a relationship, she even met his parents and they almost got married.
Susan tried to smile even harder, she tried her best to maintain her elegance, âCelia, I will pay attention next time and wonât ever appear in front of Leon again! Enjoy your food! Iâm done!â
âSue!â Sherry yanked her back, âYou havenât touched your steak yet!â
âDonât leave yet, we need to talk!â said Celia as she gazed sharply into Susanâs eyes grasping on her fork and knife. Celia looked like a warrior ready to go into battle, her gaze made people shudder.
Susan raised her brow and sat down, âFine. What do you want, Celia!â
âSue, my brother still loves you. I also believe that you still love him because you stayed single for all these years! And you always come here. Why would you do this and hurt each other if that wasnât the case? You are getting older, donât waste your time anymore!â
âSo what?â asked Susan calmly.
Suddenly, the elevatorâs door opened and a white figure could be seen. Sherry knew the person, her name was Ashley. She had an arranged marriage meeting with William the other day. This person was also her mother's stepdaughter.
Ashley turned around gracefully as she got onto the second floor. She said to the waiter, "Tell the owner that Ashley is here and he should come out and meet me!"
The waiter quickly went to call for Leon. Soon after, Leon walked across the restaurant. Everyone looked at him as his big stature was eye-catching.
Leon subconsciously glanced at Susan and smiled as he walked towards Ashley. They stood by the elevator and were talking about something. Leon then brought Ashley to a table and they both sat down.
"Can't you let go of your ego? What did my brother do wrong?" Celia didn't notice what was happening behind her! She was still questioning Susan.
"It's not him, it's me!" Leon and Ashley were talking happily. Susan glanced at them briefly and quickly averted her gaze. Her eyes dimmed and she said plainly, "Don't worry, I won't come here anymore!"
