Evie looked happier than me as she gave me a big hug.
"I'm going to work tomorrow. I'll treat you to a big meal tonight!"
I would be able to work in Grizzlimited tomorrow. so I decided to be generous this evening and treat her to a big meal as thanks for taking care of me for so many days.
"Let's go. I'll choose a place tonight!"
Hearing my treat, Evie became even more excited.
"By the way, ask your boyfriend to come out with you. Last time I said I wanted to see your boyfriend, but I haven't seen him yet. Tonight is a good opportunity."
Remembering our last conversation about her boyfriend, I told her to bring him out.
I was Evie's best friend, so naturally, she wouldn't refuse. She took out her phone immediately and called her boyfriend.
After Evie booked the restaurant, the two of us took a taxi there.
We arrived at the restaurant and waited for about half an hour before Evie's boyfriend, Gabriel Austin, arrived.
I looked him up and down. He was tall and slim and wore a pair of glasses. He looked gentle and weak.
"Gabriel, why did you come so late? We've been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as Gabriel appeared, Evie stepped forward and held his arm intimately. Her usually carefree character had completely changed into a gentle one.
Looking at the change in Evie's personality, I couldn't help but smile. Evie changed so quickly. I wondered if Gabriel knew how she acted at home.
"Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way here."
Gabriel looked at me apologetically and then explained.
"It's okay. We're not in a hurry anyway."
I smiled faintly at him, but I had some doubts in my heart. At this time, the rush hour had passed, and the restaurant we chose was relatively remote and not in the city. How could there be a traffic jam?
However, seeing that Evie was so excited, I didn't want to make things difficult for her, so I could only swallow my suspicions.
Although I said that I would treat Evie to a big meal, she didn't order expensive dishes. I knew that she was saving money for me. She knew that I had just found a job, and all my previous savings had been used on the wedding with Vaughn.
During the meal, I saw that Gabriel kept looking at his mobile phone discreetly and seemed to be a little anxious, which made me more suspicious.
"Mr Austin, I see that you have been looking at your mobile phone, and you are a little absent-minded. Is there anything wrong?"
I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere. Although Gabriel looked gentle and quiet, he always gave me a strange feeling. I couldn't pinpoint the feeling.
Hearing what I said, Gabriel looked a little flustered and quickly put his mobile phone into his pocket.
"No... It's nothing. I was just scrolling through social media."
"You shouldn't mess around on your phone all time. We haven't seen each other for a while, don't you want to chat with me?"
Looking at Gabriel, Evie pouted discontentedly and complained in a low voice. She didn't see Gabriel's guilty expression at all.
Although Gabriel's expression was understandable, after being betrayed by Vaughn, I had become much more sensitive and thoughtful.
