Chapter 124

Chapter 124 A Romantic Encounter When they finished work in the evening, Evelyn’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing the number, she was visibly surprised. “Lydia?”

Lydia: “What’s wrong? Surprised to receive my call?”

Listening to her lively voice, Evelyn knew that Lydia had recovered from the breakup. She laughed, “Congratulations on getting over the pain of a breakup.”

“Evelyn!” Lydia raised her voice, “Are you holding a grudge against me for bothering you in the past, so you took this opportunity to poke at my wounds?*

“Give you twenty minutes, if you can’t make it, consider the meal I owe you canceled.”

When Evelyn helped Lydia restore her reputation, she casually mentioned a meal, never really intending to let Lydia treat her. However, Lydia, after escaping the torment by Mia, seemed somewhat likable, which made Evelyn think it wouldn’t be bad to make a friend At Memphis’s most expensive restaurant, it was always crowded, with even the upper crust having to wait two months for reserving a table. If it weren’t for Lydia’s connections, they probably would only be able to smelle aroma outside.

They two sat in a window-side position in the lobby.

Evelyn casually pointed to a dish on the menu, it’s so familiar… When she recalled, she then froze, her eyes involuntarily welling up with a hint of sadness. In her previous life, Henry had brought her here, carefully selecting dishes to suit her taste, hoping to bring her here frequently.

But at that time, she preferred to associate with William and sit in the lobby rather than dine in the private rooms with Henry. How foolish she had been.

Lydia looked at Evelyn suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Did the prices of the dishes here scare you to cry?”

Evelyn chuckled, “I’m just afraid that once we leave here, you’ll be penniness.”

Lydia:…

As they ate, they chatted quietly. The more Evelyn got to know Lydia, the more she realized that Lydia was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted.

“Do you know that Mia has started her own company? She’s into developing internet games.”

14:06 Mon, 26 Feb DO Chapter 124 A Romantic Encounter “I didn’t know.” Evelyn’s face remained unchanged. In her previous life, Mia, while active in the entertainment industry, also pursued business ventures.

“So, why aren’t you surprised at all?”

“There’s nothing to be surprised about.” Evelyn looked up, “If I remember correctly, you should have graduated. What are your plans?”

At the mention of this, Lydia seemed a bit listless. She lazily replied, “Probably taking over the company.*

The Hall family’s entertainment company was one of the top three enterprises in Memphis, rivaling Wesley’s entertainment company.

“Let me know when you start working there, I’ll send you a big gift.”

Lydia glanced at her without saying anything, evidently not taking Evelyn’s words seriously. Just as Evelyn was about to say something else, she noticed Lydia staring intently behind her.

Evelyn turned to look, and what she saw made her complexion darken slightly.

Alexander, Noah, Matthew, and Henry were seated in a corner of the lobby. Despite Henry’s displeasure, the young girl standing in front of him, holding her phone, seemed be asking for his contact information.

Evelyn suddenly stood up.

Lydia was startled, “What are you going to do?”

“Do you see those four men over there?” Evelyn asked.

Lydia nodded, “Yes, I see them.”

“I’ve set my eyes on one of them, and I’m going over to claim him,” she declared before walking straight towards them.

Lydia was left in shock. Did Evelyn have any idea about the identities of those men?

“Evelyn, come back.”

Evelyn was now almost blazing with anger, unable to hear Lydia’s voice.

The girl said something again, and Henry’s expression turned even darker.

The other three men, however, sat on the side, teasing.

Mon, 26 Fe Chapter 124 A Romantic Encounter “I told you we should sit in the lobby. Look, a romantic encounter is happening,” Alexander excitedly remarked.

Noah glanced at him, “Are you sure this counts as a romantic encounter?”

Matthew lifted his eyes and happened to see Evelyn walking towards them. He remained silent, casting an suggestive glance at Alexander.

Taking a sip of his drink, Alexander continued, “Henry, Evelyn isn’t around. Otherwise, you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a chilling cold wind on his back.

“How convenient.”

Evelyn gave Alexander a sly look and then turned her gaze slowly towards Henry.

“A romantic encounter?” she asked.

Henry’s gaze remained firmly locked on Evelyn’s delicate features. However, her eyes lingered on his face for only a second before shifting to the girl next to him.

The girl appeared innocently dressed, but her eyes concealed a deep-seated greed.

Upon seeing Evelyn, the girl frowned unhappily but quickly restored a sweet smile. She boldly took a step forward, attempting to grab Henry’s sleeve. Henry coldly avoided her, uttering two icy words, “Get lost.”

“You…” The girl took two steps back, tears welling up in her eyes.

Evelyn disapproved, frowning, “How can you be so rude to a girl?”
