Xante drove Sunny to a very famous fine-dining restaurant. She thought she should at least bring him to eat
something good since he went through a lot of trouble to sneak out of his house.
In the end, they bumped into somebody they knew in the restaurant.
Jeremy was dining at the restaurant with a very sexily dressed woman. They were eating and chatting as though no
one else was in the world.
Xante narrowed her eyes with disgust.
‘Well, they certainly look cozy, yet he still wouldn’t give up his search for the boss. I don’t get it. Why does he still
insist on looking for her? Why doesn’t he just spend the rest of his life with his exotic wife? It’s all his fault that the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtboss has to stay in hiding!’ thought Xante.
She did not plan to greet Jeremy as they were not very close to begin with. Most of the interactions they had were
always work-related.
However, she forgot one little thing, and that was Sunny.
As soon as Sunny saw Jeremy, he waved to him and said, “Jeremy, fancy seeing you here too!”
Jeremy looked in their direction, so Xante had no choice but to give him a curt nod as a greeting.
However, that was not the end of it as Sunny, who obviously could not read the room, quickly dragged her over to
Jeremy’s table. “Jeremy, my girlfriend and I’ve come here to have lunch too.”
Xante was speechless.
Jeremy glanced indifferently at Xante before turning back to Sunny, asking, “Does your brother know you’re dating
Miss Xante?”
Sunny frowned in dismay. “He knows, but he thinks I’m still too young to be dating. But I’m not a kid anymore, so
I’m not going to listen to him. He can control every other aspect of my life, but not this one!”
Jeremy looked at him thoughtfully and said nothing. Instead, he went back to cutting his steak.
Sophia, however, giggled. “My, Mister Sunny. I’m sure your girlfriend feels very secure with you. After all, it’s not
every guy who’d be willing to go against their family for a girl.”
Sunny looked at Sophia. This was not the first time he met her, but they had not really exchanged any words
before. All he knew was Sophia was a good friend of Jeremy’s, and she seemed to know Zeke and Gerald too. For
some reason, he could not bring himself to like her, so he ignored her.
“Let’s go,” said Xante. She did not want to stay a second longer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSunny nodded and they were about to go to their table. Suddenly, Sophia said warmly, “Since we’re all friends, why
don’t you join us? We still have a lot of food that hasn’t come. Take a seat, you two.”
“No, thanks. We’ll order our own food,” said Xante.
“Miss Xante, I heard from Jeremy that you’re Miss Corinne’s friend. Well, I’d love to get to know you better. I have a
lot of things I want to talk to you about.”
Xante stopped walking at the mention of Corinne. She turned back to look at Sophia warily, “Exactly what do you
want to talk about?”
Sophia laughed heartily. “About Miss Corinne, of course.”
Xante narrowed her eyes. She could not help but wonder what Sophia was hiding under her smile.
