Julian pressed his lips, his expression looked grim, "What?"
During the meal, all he did was tease the girl; he didn’t show any semblance of professionalism.
Cohen reassessed his choice of words, his gaze slightly glanced over to the car. They were still a ways from where they parked, so they didn’t need to fear Sadie would overhear, but it would take a while to say things clearly.
He looked at his watch, then gave Julian a playful punch, “Don’t worry, I won’t fight with you for her. In the afternoon, I’m stopping by Communication University and will chat with her in private so she can make her own judgment.”
“You’ll be sorry if you dare do anything else.” Julian said blankly.
As they were talking, they didn’t notice Otto slowly driving by in his Maybach.
Sadie had the car window rolled down; her eyes were shut, and she didn’t see Otto’s car either, but Paige saw her clearly.
The Rolls Royce car was already enough to grab anyone’s attention; as for the man with his back turned, though his face was hidden from view, his body was definitely comparable to that of top male models.
“Otto, do you know the owner of that car?” Paige feigned innocence, “I just saw my classmate in the car.”
Otto looked at the license plate through his rearview mirror and laughed as he shook his head, “I don’t know the owner, but that car is worth a hefty sum, so that man must be quite something.”
As he finished speaking, he thought of her last sentence, and added, “Which classmate?”
Paige lowered her head and pretended to say hesitantly, "I knew you won't believe me if I said it..."
How was it possible that an ugly monster like Sadie could sit in such a high-class car? Anyone who could kiss that face of hers without vomiting was already a saint, so anyone who would willingly take care of her must be acting out of true love.
Then again, no one could say for sure; there were quite a lot of men with queer tastes, especially rich middle-aged men.
With that kind of news that broke out in the orphanage, there was no way Sadie was uninvolved!
“Why would I not believe you?” Otto said with a hint of unhappiness, but he hid it well.
“Sadie Chambers, she was sitting in the car” As soon as she finished saying, Paige pretended to be agitated and sat upright, to better carefully observe Otto’s expression.
Paige wouldn’t have believed it either had she not seen Sadie with her own eyes. The girl in the car really was Sadie. The Maybach let out an ear-piercing sound and pulled to a stop.
Paige turned pale and instinctively clutched at her chest, she complained slightly, “Otto, you scared me.”
Otto said nothing; his eyes were glued to the rearview mirror.
Five minutes later, the Rolls Royce left and passed by his car.
The car window was rolled down halfway; he could see Sadie sat in the car, but he couldn’t make out who sat beside her.
Thinking back to his father’s warning, Otto pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth. During the week he had been traveling abroad, who did Sadie meet?
Otto glanced over at Paige next to him, then suddenly remembered the event from the orphanage.
With such an expensive car, the owner had to be at least in his 40s.
Could it be that Sadie wanted to break up with him due to the owner of that car? Otto’s eyes and expression grew dim.
Even if he didn’t want her, he would not stand Sadie being with this kind of man!
…
Sadie arrived near her school; as she was about to get out the car, Julian pulled her.
“Let go!” She stared at him, her face red with anger.
