Mike stopped his pace and looked back, and in the next moment, he was dragged by Viola towards Steven.
“Mr. Chambers, come here, I bring a friend to you.” With a smile, Viola pushed Mike towards Steven. “This is Mike.”
Steven was suspicious looking at Mike's frightening eyes, but he didn't mind it. He asked Viola, “How you finished your work? Can we have a talk now?”
Viola stared at his poker face, but could not see any useful information. Her gaze darted back and forth between Steven and Mike, but she still pushed Mike down on the seat before she sat down. “Yes, we shall talk.”
Steven couldn't understand why she took another man with her since they were to talk about their marriage, he frowned, “Let him go.”
“No.” Viola refused, or she would leave.
Steven lay his cold eyes on Mike, who was in the way!
Mike shivered in his chair, almost frightened to tears.
Viola patted the table, “Before we talk, I want to ask you a few questions, you should answer truthfully.”
“Sure.”
“What are you doing here?”
Viola stared at Steven closely, paying attention to his subtle expression.
From these two encounters, she got a sense of what kind of man he was, and his mind was so hard to read that she had to be careful not to err in judgment.
“For horse riding.”
“I'm not kidding here!”
