Her Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 797

Chapter 797 Pretentious Pair

Awkwardness laced Shirley’s face as she saw the pair while Garrick stood up and asked, “What brings you guys here?” It was evident he had no clue about it.

“Huh… Is Shirley the friend you’re meeting with?” Sofia asked Garrick after taking a gander at the other woman. “Skye and I were looking for a place to get coffee, and you said you were here, so we came. Why didn’t you tell me you’re on a date with Shirley?”

While she spoke, Skyler, dressed in a black t-shirt, glanced icily at Shirley, who also happened to be glancing at him.

As the two made eye contact, all that happened the night before popped into their heads.

While he remained impassive, a tinge of redness laced her face, and she immediately lowered her head, no longer daring to look him in the eye.

Garrick hurriedly explained, “Nonsense. I got Shirley to act as my girlfriend at your party last night to stop Nancy from making further advances. As such, I asked her out today to express my gratitude.”

With that, he turned to Shirley. “Isn’t that right, Miss Wilson?”

“Huh? Yeah, that’s right.”

Though it was somewhat different from what he had told her earlier, Shirley just thought he had tweaked the truth to spare her feelings.

Meanwhile, Skyler frowned after hearing Garrick’s explanation, and his gaze at Shirley this time was one of dismay.

Was that what it was? Then, I’d mistaken her last night, hadn’t I?

On the other hand, Shirley felt uncomfortable by Skyler’s burning gaze, so she could only sip her coffee to alleviate the awkwardness.

In actuality, Garrick had colluded with Sofia when he asked Shirley to meet him, and that was why she had shown up with Skyler at such perfect timing to rub the fact that she was seeing Skyler in Shirley’s face.
