After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 556

Chapter 556 A quarrel

The car arrived at Futuring.

Henry and Susan went over to the seat they'd booked in the restaurant. Susan focused on ordering food while Henry sat across the table and suddenly got surprised.

"Henry, would you like beef steak or..."

"Susan..." Henry interrupted and winked at her.

Susan followed Henry's eyesight and looked back, only to find Manuel and Martina sitting at a table near them.

At the time, Manuel was pulling out the chair for Martina and inviting her to take a seat. Martina, who was elegantly dressed, couldn't hide the excitement on her face.

Susan turned around to keep on checking the menu.

Henry took his eyes off them and said slowly, "What a coincidence!"

"Kensbury is a small city."

"Indeed." Henry paused and added, "Are they together?"

"Have no idea," Susan said sarcastically.

She asked Manuel about it last time but he told her they were just friends.

But obviously, it wasn't true. She could tell how deeply Martina loved Manuel only by giving a glance at her.

But it didn't bother her. Susan had figured it out. She had nothing to do with Manuel and it made no difference to her no matter whom Manuel was going to be with or if he had lied to her.

"I want beef broth. Thanks." Henry saw Susan was indifferent to Manuel and changed the topic.

Then Susan chatted and laughed with him.

On the other table, Martina had seen Susan and Henry as soon as she went into the restaurant, and she kept glimpsing at them from time to time.

Manuel had also noticed them too.

At times, those whom you didn't want to see, would just show up to your face unexpectedly.

"When will they get married?" Martina suddenly asked.

Manuel was ordering food and saying without raising his head, "It's their business."

"Don't you care?" Martina asked deliberately.

"Nope." Manuel said bluntly.

"It isn't a show that you took me out for dinner, right?" Martina said.

Manuel swallowed slightly. It was only a coincidence. But he was fine with the misunderstanding if he must have a good reason to be there.

"You're not over Susan yet?" Martina said emotionally.

"I just think I can't let them laugh at me."

"So, you want a date to tell Susan that she's not the only one?" Martina asked.

Manuel didn't say a word in reply.

"I'll do it." Martina got emotional and said, "I'll still do it even if you take advantage of me."

Manuel raised his head to look at her, who looked so sincere and eager.

"Let's order first." He said.

"Manuel, I'll be with you as long as you want to, for whatever reasons," Martina said firmly.

Manuel chose to be silent. Martina knew she couldn't force him. But she believed Manuel would finally find it out and fall in love with her someday. She would wait for him, even for a lifetime.

They were very quiet, which was utterly different from the lively interaction between Susan and Henry.
