A Love Rekindled (Nancy and Bruce) novel Chapter 89

But was it necessary? After all, everyone knew how biased Bruce was toward Cindy. He even wanted to sue Anika for her sake.

That was a privilege that people like us couldn't dream of having.

However, there was something else I now had a dilemma about—I wasn't sure if I should ask Douglas to meet.

"You should go ahead and call Mr. Irvin. He would probably want you to." Caroline continued fanning the flames. "Cindy is the one setting this up anyway. It would be fine even if Bruce was displeased. It wouldn't be our fault anyway."

Caroline had her fair reasoning. However, I wasn't keen on dragging Douglas into this again.

After putting some thought into it, I decided to turn up solo.

Their reservation was for 7:30 pm.

Before Cindy left the office, she dropped by to bid me goodbye.

I didn't waste any time either and departed shortly after.

Nonetheless, I was new to driving, so I was still unfamiliar with the roads. And by the time I arrived at Rico Restaurant, it was almost dinner time.

I looked for a waiter to inquire about the location of the private room. But unexpectedly, I spotted Douglas standing a short distance away.

He was wearing a long, wool coat that was light tan-colored. He also had a tartan-check pattern Burberry scarf around his neck, and under his coat, he wore a formal and smart-looking suit.

His outfit looked casual yet serious at the same time.

At that moment, he was speaking with a staff member.

Then, as if he could sense that he was being watched, he suddenly turned around and saw me.

After that, he walked toward me with big strides.

"Hi, Nancy." He smiled slightly. "I thought I was late."

I looked at him with a perplexed look on my face. "You were waiting for me?" I asked.

"Yeah. Aren't we meeting Ms. Lane for dinner tonight?"

Upon further inquiry, I found out that I wasn't the only one whom Cindy had extended her invitation to. Apparently, she'd also personally called Douglas.

She'd even called him to remind him to be punctual.
