Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 373

“What’s wrong?” asked James.

Angela shook her head, “Nothing, I’m just looking around.”

She was probably more sensitive because she was pregnant.

“Okay, look at the menu and order something. I need to use the bathroom.” James stood up and there was a look of hesitation in his eyes. But he didn’t say anything and left.

The moment right after he left, Angela felt like someone was staring at her again.

She looked around and like before, everyone was eating and no one was looking at her. But the feeling didn’t go away. The gaze followed her and she felt like she was being trapped under layers of invisible nets.

Angela felt unease, she gripped her phone hard and wanted to call James the moment something went wrong.

But other than the feeling of being watched, nothing else out of the ordinary happened.

“Fancy seeing you here, Miss Angela.”

Suddenly, a woman called her name from behind. Angela’s back tensed up, she quickly turned around and checked who was it.

It was Cathleen.

“Do you mind if I sit here for a bit?” asked Cathleen. She pulled out the chair opposite Angela and sat down before waiting for an answer.

“You are so wrapped up. I thought I got the wrong person for a second.”

Angela frowned, “You recognized me the moment I walked in?”

“Well, not really. I didn’t notice you, my fiancé did.” Cathleen had a look of disdain on her face, “Well, he did have a crush on you. Even if you’re in disguise, wearing sunglasses or a cap, he can still recognize you. Heck, even if you turn into ash, he can still recognize you.”

Listening to what Cathleen was saying, the people watching her just now were probably Cathleen and Danis. It would make sense like that.

But for some reason, Angela still felt like something was off.

Her intuition was telling her that the people watching her in the dark weren’t Cathleen and Danis.

“I’m only talking to you for a bit and you’re lost in your own world. Are you disrespecting me, or do you want me to feel disgusted with you?” asked Cathleen in an eerie tone of voice.

Angela only then stopped daydreaming and said inattentively, “No need to beat around the bush. Just say it, what do you want from me?”

“Fine, if you say so, then I’ll speak my mind!” Cathleen continued saying, “The Smith family bought 25% of the Chante Group’s shares, did you know that?”

Angela nodded, “And?”

“What does it have to do with me?”

“Jessica and her gang plan to sell the shares in 6 days, and then they will tell the public about the dirt they have on Chante family. The Chante Group’s reputation would be badly damaged. Tell Mr. James about it, ask him to help the Chante family, you hear me?”

Cathleen stared at Angela with a look of disgust on her face.

Angela looked at her, “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because Danis has no balls to talk to you. I wouldn’t come over if he would!” Cathleen stood up impatiently, “Remember to tell Mr. James about it! I’m leaving!”

“Wait.” Angela stood up and called out to her.

Cathleen turned around and replied shortly, “What?”

“Both sides benefit from this matter. Why are you talking to me as if you’re ordering me around or giving me alms?” said Angela.
