Chapter 1214

Blake continued saying, “Ms. Samford, if you don’t have anything to discuss with me, I’ll have to leave now as I still have work matters to attend to. My apologies.”

Blake came to the company just for work and had no intention of getting involved with Cecilia.

However, Cecilia ignored her request and immediately asked Susan to drive away from the Jardin Tower.

Blake looked at Cecilia with displeasure. “What do you want?”

Cecilia replied, “It’s lunchtime now, and I’ve reserved a table at The Deli.”

Blake resisted the idea of having a meal with Cecilia. “I’m just an assistant, I’m not qualified to have lunch with you. Or have you come up with a new plan to deal with me? Or is it the same as last time;

pushing me to the cooperating party you set up?”

Cecilia responded, “All those incidents in the past have been misunderstandings. Now that we’ve finally reunited, let’s forget about the past. I’ll make it up to you. There’s a banquet tonight; I’ll introduce you to some people. It’ll be helpful for you in the future.”

Blake, looking out of the car window, realized that they were indeed heading toward The Deli. She realized Cecilia was not playing games.

Blake rejected Cecilia without hesitation, saying, “I don’t need to meet new people. I just want to focus on my work.”

Cecilia, not angry, turned her head and reached out to pinch Blake’s cheek. “Your angry expression is still as cute as when you were a child. But you’re too thin; you should eat more.

“If you want to stay at StartReading, I won’t force you to leave. help you. I’ll support you no matter what you want to do.

“If you don’t want to go to the banquet, it’s fine. But if you accompany me to have lunch now, I’ll tell you about Kevin’s whereabouts, okay?”

Blake was surprised. “You’re not lying, right?”

Cecilia held Blake’s hand. Blake was not used to it, so she tried to withdraw her hand but could not. Cecilia replied, “Of course not.

You’re my sister, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Upon hearing this, Susan was frozen with shock and slammed on the brakes, barely avoiding a collision with the car in front of them.

Cecilia said, “You can’t even drive properly now?”

Susan hurriedly apologized, “I’m sorry. It wasn’t intentional.”

There were no delays on the roads, so they arrived at The Deli very quickly.

The aroma wafted from this beautiful restaurant.

After getting out of the car and entering the restaurant, the manager warmly greeted them, “Ms.

Samford, it’s been a long time since we’ve last seen you. We’re pleased to have you here. The private room you reserved is set up with the highest quality decorations. Can we start serving the food now?”

Cecilia nodded. “Go ahead.”

She held Blake’s hand as they entered the private room.

Susan could only sit in the car. She was still trying to digest w had just heard. ‘Blake is actually Ms.

Samford’s sister. How coula be possible? Or is something else going on in this matter?!

‘Ms. Samford’s attitude toward Blake has completely changed.

‘Last week, Ms. Samford even wanted Blake to…

‘What actually happened during Blake’s absence from the company?!’

Blake sat inside the spacious luxury private room that could accommodate over a dozen people. The room was filled with colorful balloons. The decorations created a great atmosphere.

Cecilia, who was sitting beside Blake, opened an expensive bottle of champagne. “Finally, we can have a meal together, just the two of us. Let’s drink a little and celebrate our reunion.”

Blake replied, “You know why I came with you. Don’t play games with me.”

Cecilia smiled gently. “Be patient. Let’s eat before we talk about that.”
