Chapter 244 

Jeremiah namesed his eyes, a cold glint flickering within them 

Heicked. “Well, well. A newbie, huh? Never seen you before. Come over here and let me take a look.” 

I froze, my body trembling violently 

The manager quickly stepped in front of me, bowing slightly. “Mr. Hall, she’s new and don’t know the cafes. I apologize if she’s offended you in any way. 

Jeremiah didn’t even bother to look up at first. A smitk played on his lips as his gaze eventually fixed on me. “How could she offend me when nothing has happened yet? Come here.” 

His tone was casual, but an underlying threat sent chills down my spise, Elijah glanced at me, his eyes filled with worry, making the danger feel even more real. 

1 hesitated before slowly wallding over. Jeremiah glanced me up and down, looking disinterested. 

“What’s your name?” he asked. 

Panicked, my eyes dated around “1. I’m Apple,” Istammeted. 

My gaze landed on the sliced apples on the fruit plate… 

Jeremiah’s gaze followed mine to the glass table. My mind spon in a panic. He was too smart, almost unnaturally perceptive. How could be possibly know what I was t 

was thinking? 

He raised an eyebrow. “What a great name. Why not call yourself Orange? Then, we’d have a full fruit platter,” he said with a smick. 

I was dumbfounded, my mind blank 

Elijah spoke up. “Mr. Hall, let her go We still have more important things to discuss 

Jeremiah didn’t respond, but the expression on his face was enough to terrily me 

Elijah then stood up and yelled at me, “Why are you just standing there? Get out of here!! 

Ifled in a panic 

“Walt,” Jeremiah’s voice was lazy. “Come have a drink with me later.” 

I turned around stiffly and met his eyes his gaze almost demonic 

A shiver ran down my spine. His state was terrifying 

Elijah shoved me roughly. “What are you waiting for? Get lost, you idiot!” he snapped. 

I quickly scrambled out of the room in a panic. 

Behind me, I heard Jeremiah’s displeased voice. “Elijah, how could you treat a young lady like that?” 

Elijah shrugged it off. “How many decent women are there in this place? If you be that kind of girl, I can arrange it for you” 

Jeremiah seemed to chuckle, clearly amused. 

I stumbled out of the room and made my way to the restroom on the second floor. 

I was finally able to catch my breath. My hands were shaking as I searched for my phone, only to realize it wasn’t on me.
