In the cafe, they sat face to face.
Jadiel ordered a cup of coffee for himself, and then ordered a small cake and Lyric's favorite orange juice for her.
They didn't say anything after sitting down. After the food was served, Jadiel looked at Lyric and said, "Lyric, eat a piece of cake first. The cake here is delicious. I've been here a few times, but I didn't know that you live here."
Lyric looked at him. He was a gentleman, and there was a faint smile on his handsome face. "Jadiel, in order to avoid Ansley, I wouldn't tell anyone where I live. But I'm very curious. How did you know that I live here?"
Jadiel looked at her fair face and smiled. Then he pointed at the telegraph pole across the street.
"It turns out that this is why you didn't allow me to send you home. I saw the news about Mrs. Alwynn and Ansley online. Seeing the familiar telegraph pole, I knew that you lived here. Last night, I drank some wine, so I was a little impulsive. I didn't expect to meet you at the gate."
Lyric smiled faintly, "I see."
"Yeah, I didn't expect my memory to be so good. I remember the telegraph pole in front of your house." Saying this, Jadiel turned his head to look at the telegraph pole across the street. It looked somewhat solemn in the traffic.
Looking back at Lyric's hesitant face, he smiled and pretended to be casual, "Mr. Joye seems to be very busy today."
Lyric's expression changed as she lowered her head.
Jadiel looked at her and smiled, "The foreign clients should be his friends. His parents run a winery abroad, and they're of noble status. They're billionaires, which is really enviable."
Lyric was stunned. She didn't know if Jadiel said these words deliberately, but she understood one thing, which was that she was not qualified to be with Jasper.
"Really?" Lyric grinned. She looked calm, but she was very confused in heart.
The more she knew about his background, the more she felt that the gap between them was big.
"Yes. Lyric, I plan to work in Joye Group for one more year. Then I'll start a company on my own." Jadiel told her his purpose clearly.
He mentioned Jasper's status deliberately.
Sometimes, love required a scheming mind.
Jasper was not sure if he had fallen in love with Lyric, and this was a rare chance for him.
Lyric's heart was filled with disappointment. Hearing Jadiel's words, she tried hard to cheer up, "That's great. I've known you for more than half a year, and you've been working hard. It's only a matter of time before you set up your own company."
Jadiel was very outstanding. She realized this not long after they met, but she didn't think about having a boyfriend at that time.
At that time, she did not have a stable job, and she wanted to be in a relationship after getting a job.
She was longing for love, but did not know how to love.
However, one could fall in love without a master. No one taught her, but she had fallen in love with Jasper.
But the result was heartbroken.
Her love was unrequited.
Jadiel didn't talk much. As long as Lyric understood what he meant. If he said too much, Lyric might have other strange ideas.
"Lyric, what do you want for lunch? Let's have lunch together." His voice was unusually gentle.
He was gentlemanly. Although they were close to each other, Lyric was not disgusted.
Lyric shook her head lightly, "The lunch break is short. It will take you half an hour to go back to the company. Let's have lunch another day."
