“It’s raining. What are you standing here? Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold?”
A man’s gentle voice was heard from behind, interrupting the gossip between the two sisters, but it was not William.
As soon as Cierra heard the voice, she turned her head and saw a man in a dark suit holding an umbrella in his hand.
The black umbrella also covered the top of Cierra’s head, perfectly blocking the rain droplets that gathered into drops, releasing a light noise on the umbrella’s surface.
Cierra took the umbrella. She couldn’t describe his feelings at the moment. She just covered herself and Lydia with the umbrella and stared blankly at Bruno with her beautiful eyes.
“Why, why are you here?”
“What’s wrong? Cici, are you unhappy to see me?”
Bruno stood at the foot of the stairs, his gaze perfectly level with hers. His smiling eyes sparkled under the cold wind and mist.
In fact, there was no need to use an umbrella in this weather. It seemed that there was no rain, but there was a layer of mist in the air. In such an environment of L’Opera Restaurant, there were a few drops of water falling from time to time.
For example, at this moment, raindrops were falling on Bruno’s shoulder.
He didn’t look embarrassed at all. He still stood straight in front of Cierra and didn’t move at all.
Being stared at by him, Cierra blushed and turned his head away in embarrassment. “Of course not. I was just surprised to see you here because I thought you were busy in Chicago.”
As early as when Will was recuperating, she had confirmed her relationship with Bruno, and Bruno had been busy slowly shifting the focus of the West family’s work to Los Angeles.
In fact, Cierra didn’t think it was necessary. Not to mention that their relationship hadn’t been completely settled yet, no one could guarantee that nothing would happen in the future, just like her and Draven. Moreover, means of communication and traffic were developed now. There was no need to shift his focus on work.
However, since Bruno insisted, it was useless for her to persuade him. She could only allow him to make the decision.
As a result, they did not meet each other again during this period of time. They only communicated by phone.
The news of her returning to New York was confirmed yesterday. She did not send Bruno a message about her flight and tell him that she would come to L’Opera Restaurant first.
But if the listener wanted to meet her, he could always find a way to find her.
So, at the right time, he appeared in front of her.
“Cough.”
While they were in a deadlock, the atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by a cough from behind.
William said impatiently.
“Hey, what are you doing here? It’s not raining heavily, so don’t be so romantic. You’re blocking the way in front of the shop.”
After being shouted at like that, Cierra felt even more embarrassed.
It was also different from when she subconsciously argued with William, when she was scolded for the first time, she would squint William’s eyes and receive his curse!
He glanced at Bruno and silently moved the umbrella closer to Lydia.
“William, we are waiting for you.”
She said shamelessly that she could do whatever she wanted with Lydian being with her. Anyway, she had an umbrella now, so it was not William’s place to blame her for getting wet in the rain.
Lydia hadn’t come to her senses yet. The new gossip aroused her interest in a couple. She was looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman through the rain when she was suddenly interrupted by William.
When she heard Cierra’s voice, she glared at William.
William was speechless.
Well, they all blamed him.
Bruno did give a face to William. He turned around with a smile and made way for William.
“It’s my fault. I blocked their way here and chatted with Cici. William, you’re right.”
