Chapter 285 A Private Match
“What a coincidence, Miss Mond, Mr. Issac, you are also here.”
Sue called out, and when both of them turned around, they saw Sue, who was wearing a black velvet dress and a fox fur shawl, appearing on the side holding onto the wrist of Morris.
Vivian’s gaze was fixed on Sue’s hand holding on to Morris’ arm, and she only felt that it was rather blinding.
In her heart, she cried out for bad luck.
She didn’t expect to meet Morris and Sue in a place like this.
L City was really small.
Issac’s cold eyes raised slightly and did not look at Sue, but his sharp gaze met the cold pupils of Morris, “Since Mr. Morris is meeting with a beautiful woman, then Vivian and I will not disturb your pleasure.”
As a man, he simply knew too well what was in Morris’ mind, so he uttered out.
“Yes, yes, yes. Since brother is dating Miss Stewart, we won’t spoil your fun. Since it’s a couple’s date, it’s more appropriate for you guys to go to a private room.”
Vivian hastily echoed, fearing that Morris would sit beside them and disturb her quietness.
The Hillington Restaurant was one of the best restaurants in L City. It was not a big restaurant, but it was quiet and elegant, so the middle and upper class people came to this kind of place more often.
However, it was not a cheap place to spend.
He looked down at Vivian, his dark pupils glowing with lustre and a touch of resentment.
It was as if he was saying, “When you invited me to dinner, it’s tea eggs and soy milk, or the cheapest cold dishes at Yipinju. How come when you invite Issac, it’s either the night club with millions to spend, or a high-end restaurant like the Hillington?”
The strong differentiation put Morris in quite an unpleasant mood.
“It’s better to have fun together.”
Morris said, before looking at Sue beside him, “Sue, you don’t mind sharing a table, do you?”
It was clear that the people sitting at the table were Vivian and Issac, but Morris didn’t give Vivian and Issac a chance to speak.
Because, he knew very well that no matter whom he asked, he would be rejected.
Sue looked sideways, looking at the man in front of her, who had a dignified and unattainable air, but clearly felt his condescension in front of Vivian.
That feeling made her heart feel rather uncomfortable.
She nodded, “I like Mr. Issac and Miss Mond, of course there is no problem.”
“Wait.”
Vivian was not happy, “Come on, shouldn’t you guys ask Issac and me for our opinions?”
Was she the air?
“Vivian, you are being naughty again.”
There was a smile on the corner of Morris’ lips, and the words he said were excessively gentle, while carrying a bit of doting.
He sat directly beside Issac and Sue sat beside Vivian.
Sue swore to God that she had never lowered herself like this before like this.
“Hello, what would you two like to order?”
Seeing the two seated, the waiter walked over and handed the menu to the two of them.
Morris didn’t even take the menu and said directly, “The same as them.”
“Sir, the two of them ordered the couple’s set menu.” The waiter explained to Morris.
At those words, Morris’ face sank slightly, the displeasure on his face passing instantly, “It’s okay.”
Since he had already made his decision, Sue naturally had no chance to order, so she closed the menu, “A couple’s set meal will suffice. Thanks.”
Although the couple’s set meal was ‘forced’, it was at least a couple’s set meal that she had shared with Morris.
Even if there was dissatisfaction in her heart, she tolerated it at the moment.
“Let’s be clear in advance. Since you guys are the ones who forced yourselves to come over to share a table, you’ll pay for tonight’s meal.” Vivian stared at Morris, coldly snorted and said arrogantly.
“What did you say? I didn’t hear you.”
Morris’ gaze slanted and his warning eyes shot towards her, seemingly with a few threatening intent.
Vivian subconsciously thought of what had happened last night.
Without waiting for her to say anything, she heard the people at the next table chatting, “You know what? Today at noon when I was eating at Yipinju, the Bureau of Industry and Commerce and the Food Supervision Bureau went to Yipinju for a spot check.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, I heard that it was reported that the food there was expensive.”
“Well, it’s true that the food is expensive.”
“There’s a reason why it’s expensive. The chefs there are all national banquet masters, and each ingredient is guaranteed to be the freshest and specially processed. You get what you pay for.”
…
Listening to their chat, Vivian felt a moment of weakness.
When she looked at Morris, his eyes became sharper and sharper, making her feel like she was on pins and needles.
She smiled flatteringly, “Hehehe, how can I let you treat me to dinner? I’ll pay for this, of course.”
When she had brought Issac over for dinner, she had deliberately looked at the menu, and the waiter had clearly said that there was a discount today.
The couple’s set price was 50% off.
So, she could still accept it.
“It’s a bit insincere for Mr. Morris to bring his girlfriend for a meal and have Vivian pay for the bill.” Issac picked up a glass of water on the table, took a sip, and faintly said.
“It is okay.”
Sue didn’t give Morris a chance to speak, then added, “Wouldn’t life be tiring if you care about everything?”
“Is that so? Miss Stewart is quite open-minded.” The corners of Issac’s mouth were slightly hooked, and the eyes that gazed at Sue carried elusive complexities.
The moment Vivian looked up, she caught Issac’s gaze in her eyes, and for some reason, that look sent a chill down her spine.
An indefinable feeling came over her.
It even made Vivian feel that the man in front of her was a bit strange.
Not long after, the meals were brought over one by one.
Black truffle foie gras, vegetable salad and black pepper pasta for each person, Wellington steak, and, a bottle of red wine.
Preparing to dine, Issac held his knife and fork to cut the steak, and then called out, “Vivian, eat this.”
He reached out to pick up a steak in front of Vivian and placed the cut one in front of her.
Vivian was touched by the meticulous care she received, yet she felt pressured at the same time.
She had expressed her feelings to Issac many times that she did not like him, but Issac was always passionate and overwhelming whenever he was with her.
These things echoed in her mind, but when she looked up, the first one she saw was not Issac, but Morris.
She saw that Morris’ eyes were light, a gesture of indifference.
Sue smiled faintly, “Morris, see Mr. Issac dotes on her.”
These words, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, reminded Morris, look how much Issac dotes on Vivian, these are things that you simply cannot do.
The words fell on Vivian’s ears, but her heart was sour, “Hear that, Miss Stewart is saying that you are not taking care of her, help her cut the steak, or she’ll abandon you. Then you’ll really be a lonely man.”
With that, Vivian put down her knife and fork, “Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom.”
Perhaps because she was unhappy with them, Vivian wanted to find a place to calm down.
Seeing her get up and leave, Sue also put down her knife and fork and removed the napkin around her neck, “I’ll go with her.”NôvelDrama.Org content.
