Chapter 276

The Origin of the Diamond Card “Hmph, who else would be a handful?” Ivanna growled, “I swear that woman’s digging her own grave.”

“Calm down, Ivanna. We’ll talk when we meet later.” I interjected, trying to avoid a rant.

I received another call as we talked. I glanced at my phone and saw Atlas’s name, so I told Ivanna, “Hang 1. up. I have another call.”

When she ended the call, I answered Atlas’s, “Hello.”

“Who were you talking to?” he asked.

“Ivanna.”

“Oh. Come to Pleca Park after work tonight,” Atlas said firmly.

“Sure!” I blushed but replied sweetly, “Aren’t you busy?”

“What do you think?” He sounded flirtatious, “You can help me relax.”

“Stop that” I lost my breath, thinking of how shameless he was.

He laughed, saying, “Do you know what you want to eat? I’ll prepare it for you.”

“I’m meeting the girls for local food soon. I’d prefer something lighter in the evening.” I replied confidently.

“That sounds doable. You can hang up now.”

I imagined how he looked after ending the call. I leaned on my desk while palming my head, still lost in thought. Suddenly, Lauren knocked and entered.

When she saw me daydreaming and smiling, she approached curiously and asked, “What were you daydreaming about? You’re beaming 1 quickly put away my smile and feigned ignorance. “I wasn’t daydreaming. I was just dealing with contracts and just finished a call.

Come on, let’s go. We can chat on the way. Did you reach Ivanna?” Lauren looked striking with her bag says remembered what she looked like when we first met.

struck gold yesterday I said while tidying my table and picking up my bag. As we left my hought id embarrass myself, but it happened to the someone else’s unlucky day “It’s all thanks to you!”

“How am I involved? Spill the tea now.” Lauren became even more interested.

I recounted my encounter with Liora as we headed downstairs. Lauren looked at me. “You thoroughly embarrassed her. You must be even more cautious now. That woman is evil and can’t stand anyone opposing her. She won’t let you off so quickly.”

shrugged and said smilingly, “I didn’t have a choice. Liora would’ve been relentless if I hadn’t given her a taste of her own medicine. I just wanted to cancel the membership and reimburse you, but she kept pushing her luck. She embarrassed herself.”

Lauren said, “Atlas gave you that Diamond card. I just borrowed your limelight.”

“Wait, how does this situation involve him? Why don’t I know about it?” I asked in surprise. I didn’t expect Atlas to be the source of the Diamond card.

“It was when you two lost contact. During the holidays, I went with Lauren whispered a name, and I nodded in silent understanding HE met with Atlas and took me along. They discussed financing, and Atlas gave me these two cards. Of course, I knew his intentions. After all, he would’ve just given me one card if it were just for me. Lauren shrugged. “He’s pretty considerate of you.”

“You’re perceptive,” I teased, “No wonder that chatty receptionist said they’d have to close down if they canceled our membership.”

“Of course! Don’t forget, their shop is within Arkadia Plaza, which belongs to Atlas. He wouldn’t let it slide if people were bullying his woman,” Lauren explained.

I knew she also enjoyed being special to someone. She continued, “I guess my life is as comfortable as you said ”

Immediately after, Lauren sighed, “There was a time I hoped for faithful and enduring love, but I didn’t keep that faith. I’ve accepted being without it.”

You’re still young, so stop speaking so pessimistically,” I said, holding her arm as we walked.

Lauren chuckled and replied indifferently, “You silly girll I’m different from you since I’ve already atablished my reputation.”

So you’re okay with continuing with that guy without a titie?” I asked, thinking about that person’s face.
