Chapter 35: Chapter 35

Ryan’s charming eyes narrowed as he raised his eyebrows. “Let’s have dinner together. I’ll pick you up

from work tonight. I’ll make a reservation for wherever you want to eat.”

Bella frowned and said impatiently, “I have a boyfriend, Mr. Hoffman.”

“I don’t even care that you had an ex-husband, let alone a boyfriend.”

Ryan had always been open about relationships. He only considered his feelings for the woman and

did not care about any societal expectations.

“If you’re afraid we’ll be seen, we can go to my private villa. My chef is as good as Michelin-starred

chefs. I’ll get them to prepare dinner.”

Bella raised her eyebrows and thought, ‘Why isn’t my coffee ready yet?’

If she had her coffee, she would splash it on Ryan’s face to wake him up from his daydream!

At this time, Ryan’s phone rang.

He took it out and saw that it was Justin.

“Excuse me, I’m going to take a call.”

Bella thought, ‘Leave, for all I care!’

When Ryan left, Bella’s coffee was served.

Before Bella could take a sip, Ryan’s date walked up to her arrogantly.

Ryan’s date did not hear the conversation between Ryan and Bella earlier. She only knew that Bella

was the employee that Ryan asked the restaurant manager about.

She thought, ‘How dare a working-class bitch seduce the most eligible bachelor in Savrow? I must

teach her a lesson!’

“Hey, I’m warning you. Don’t even think about dating Mr. Hoffman if you still want to work here.”

Ryan’s date stared at Bella with animosity.

Bella frowned and fanned her nose with her hands. She had a headache from smelling such strong

perfume.

Bella wondered if Ryan even had a sense of smell.

“If I don’t do as you say, what can you do to me?” Bella spoke without looking at her.

“I will file a complaint against you and get you fired!”

“Oh? The reason being that you’re upset Ryan talked to me?”

“You!” The woman was so angry that her face and neck turned red.

“Go ahead and file that complaint. I’m sure if you submit it to our general manager, the only feedback

you will get is that you should get your head examined.”

“Bitch!”

Ryan’s date was furious and jealous of Bella’s beauty. She reached out to grab the coffee on the table,

wanting to teach Bella a lesson.

However, in the next second–

“Ah!”

With lightning speed, Bella picked up the coffee cup before her and splashed the whole cup of coffee

on that woman’s face.

The woman’s makeup was ruined, and her newly bought branded dress was soiled. Her lips kept

trembling, and she wanted to cry.

Bella picked up the napkin and slowly wiped away the drop of coffee that splashed on the back of her

hand. Her red lips stretched into a bright smile.

“I knew that either one of us would get hurt, so in this case, I’d rather it be you.”

Ryan answered the phone in the corridor.

“Hey Justin, what’s up?”

“It’s your mother’s birthday the day after tomorrow. Come shop for a gift with me. I don’t know what I

should get her.” Justin went straight to the point.

“Oh. My mother treats you like her godson. If you give her a weed from the roadside, she’ll put it in an

antique vase. Just buy her anything,” Ryan said nonchalantly.

“No, come with me to pick out a gift tonight.”

“Maybe tomorrow. I have a date tonight.”

“Postpone it.

})

“I already told her that I wanted to have dinner with her. How could I stand her up? It’s so

ungentlemanly.”

Ryan poked the inside of his cheek with his tongue. After some thought, he felt that he should come

clean with Justin because he did not want to date Justin’s ex-wife behind his back.

He wanted to date “Anna” openly. He cleared his throat and said seriously, “I won’t hide it from you.

I want to date your ex-wife.”

Suddenly, there was an overwhelming silence on the phone.

“Hello?” Ryan glanced at the screen to make sure that the call was still connected.

After a while, Justin’s cold and deep voice came from the other end of the call. “Are you with Anna

now?”
