Chapter 723 Heâs From Neve Too âHow is this happening?â Deirdre inhaled sharply. She agreed that it seemed intentional indeed. âAre they doing this to dismiss your company because they are not planning on working with your company anymore, but they refuse to reject the company?â
âNo. The collaboration is supposed to be a win-win situation for both companies.â
Tobey was amused. âMoreover, we did it because of them⦠So, I would assume that it was Kyran who commissioned someone to distract me if I didnât know that you and Kyran had just gotten acquainted at the time.â
Deirdre smiled and regarded it as a joke. After all, it sounded absurd.
They chatted for a while more until Tobeyâs phone rang. He picked up the call and said, âYouâre here too? Please hold on.â
He asked Deirdre, âI have a university friend whoâs nearby and wants to pass something to me. Will it be okay for my friend to drop by for a while?â
Deirdre nodded. âOf course.â
Tobey announced the exact address to his friend and said after hanging up the call, âSpeaking of which, my friend is from Neve too.â
Deirdre was surprised. âWhat brings him here then?â
âHe is on a business trip. He is doing quite well in his career because heâs working for a government-owned corporation and is highly appreciated for his capability. He might even get a promotion after this business trip.â
Deirdre smiled. There were too many unpleasant memories in Neve for her, so she did not inquire further.
Kyranâs call came coincidentally.
âIs your hangout session over?â
Deirdre said softly, âNot yet.â
âAre you going to have lunch together?â Kyran sounded displeased. âIâm almost done with work today, and I would like to have the food you cook. Shall I pick you up so we can go home together? Hmm?â
He spoke in a rather coquettish tone.
Deirdre could not resist his charm and felt tenderhearted. She said softly,â Hold on, let me ask.â
âItâs all set. Send me your location, alright? I shall pick you up first. As for Tobey, if he is willing, he can join the lunch.â
The sound of Kyran shutting the car door was heard. Deirdre told him her location before she looked toward Tobey in embarrassment.
Tobey smiled and said, âI overheard the conversation. I have something to attend to in the afternoon. You should go home with Kyran. I would be concerned about your safety if you were to go back alone. Itâs good that heâs coming for you.â
Deirdre felt relieved. Tobey was considerate enough so she did not feel embarrassed.
Afterward, Tobeyâs friend dropped by, and it sounded like a bubbly man. The manâs gaze landed on Deirdre, and he patted Tobeyâs shoulder.
âLook at you. Have you finally been enlightened? You had so many women trying to date you in university, yet you refused to go on dates with anyone.
I used to think that there was something wrong with you. So, it turns out that you keep your beautiful wife hidden, huh?â
Tobey explained by saying, âYouâve misunderstood. This is my dear friend who is like a sister to me.â
âGood friend?â The manâs eyes lit up.
Tobey understood his friendâs intention, so he was determined to set his friendâs mind straight. âShe has a boyfriend, and her boyfriend is very goodlooking.â
The man heaved a sigh. âAlright then. Youâre so good-looking, yet youâre still single.
What do I have to be afraid of then?â
Tobey was amused. âYouâre really fond of comparing yourself to others.â
The man shoved him and said, âAre you going to introduce us or not?â
Tobey said, âDeirdre, this is my friend from university, Jamie Lynch. This is my good friend, Deirdre.â
Jamie extended his hand. âHello, hello, Deirdre.â
Tobey slapped away Jamieâs hand. âShe canât see, so donât even think about using the trick.â
