A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 282

“Tsk tsk, Daniel, you are really hypocritical.” Leigh snorts, “You said you were going to New York, but look at you coming here with Louis in the end to see someone, ahem!”

Louis says casually, “Leigh, the biggest suppliers of your two listed companies are Daniel’s. One day Daniel is going to stop your supply and you will go bankrupt.”

The smile on Leigh’s face diappears immediately as he pours tea into Daniel’s cup, saying in a tone dipped in flattery, “Daniel, here, drink some tea! Ignore me please, I am still young and stupid!”

Daniel is too lazy to reply.

Quite soon their table is filled with the dishes they ordered. There are too many dishes, most of which are ordered by Leigh saying that he is afraid Jessie will go hungry. He eagerly offers her the barbecue meat.

“Honey, try this barbecue.”

“Honey, this chicken cheese curry rice is really good. Let me feed you.”

“Honey, here’s some pear juice, open your mouth!”

“Honey…”

All the people on the table can hear his annoying “Honey”. He even leans over to kiss Jessie from time to time, not caring about anyone else.

“Leigh.” Louis says quietly, “Can you shut up? Or do you want me to make you shut up?”

Leigh replies, “You can do this too! I don’t mind…”

Before he can finish his sentence, Daniel’s hand passes from behind Louis’s chair, grabs Leigh’s hair and slams his face first into a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce.

Daniel asks him, “Is your mouth shut now?”

The women at the table rock back and forth roaring with laughter.

After having finished laughing, Jessie passes him a tissue, “Wipe your face, Daniel!” She snorts with laughter, “Sorry! You look really funny!”

Leigh feels wronged, “Honey, I am doing all this for you and you are laughing at me?”

As he raises his head, his whole face covered in sticky meat sauce makes Jessie laugh crazily. Seeing Jessie laugh, Leigh feels like he just got hit with a thousand volts.

“I am sorry… Oh! I need to take this call.” Jessie’s cellphone rings and after seeing the number she hurries away to receive it.

Lily is feels curious when she sees her anxious expression.

Is there a problem at the company?

At the same time, Louis’s gaze pauses on Jessie for a bit, his expressions meaningful.

“Mr. Daniel, isn’t it a bit bland?” Seeing the food on Daniel’s plate untouched Stella passes him the black pepper.

Daniel doesn’t even raise his eyes to look at her.

Stella rests her chin on her hand and looks at him with a smile, “Mr. Daniel, we have known each other through quite a lot. I know that we can’t become lovers but can’t we at least be friends?”

“No need for that.” Daniel’s expressions are cold. He looks like he has nothing more to say.

Stella hums in response and continues the conversation without getting angry, “Mr. Daniel, you are thirty-three years old, right? Are you married?”

“No comment!”

“Hmm! So, you haven’t married yet.” Stella guesses and asks again, “Do you have a child?”

“…”

Stella shakes her head and looks at him pitifully, “Mr. Daniel, you are already in your thirties but have no girlfriend or wife and have no children. What a failure of a man you are!”

“Daniel didn’t even answer but you already know that he hasn’t?” Louis looks at Stella with a meaningful smile, “What kind of life he has lived in New York for the past three years, can you see that too?”

“Oh!” Leigh exclaims, clearly wanting the world to burn in chaos, “So that’s why I couldn’t get hold of him no matter how many times I called, because he went on a date.”

Louis’s expressions turn ugly, “Excuse…”

“Louis, you lying bastard!” Lily gets up angrily and curses at him, “What did you say? Never been near women? Turns out your private life is already too rich with women.”

As she is about to leave, she spots lemonade on the table. She picks it up and splashes it on his face, “You go back to your Dolores!”

Leigh quickly swerves to the side, avoiding the lemonade splash.

The surrounding guests look at them as the two men get splashed in a row.

Louis wipes his face and looks at Daniel helplessly, “Daniel, I was trying to help you! Is that how you repay kindness? You also know the actual story of Silver Bridge Club.”

“When did I go to dinner with the senior executive on Christmas?” Daniel snaps back, “Her boyfriend came to pick her up, and he was wearing the same scarf as me so you thought it was me!”

“Come on now, we are all brothers! Don’t quarrel.” Leigh passes a tissue to Louis, obviously gloating.

Daniel and Louis look upset.

Just then, Jessie comes back after answering the call. Seeing that Lily and Stella are gone, she asks, “Where are they? Did they go to the ladies’ room?”

Seeing Daniel and Louis’s clothes still visibly wet around the collar, she is even more curious, “What happened to you two?”

“They…”

As Leigh is about to answer, Louis grabs his hair again and buries his face deep into the spaghetti again.

Daniel unlocks his phone with his thumb and hands it to Jessie.
