Chapter 22 Better Flirting Skills

Elianna responded casually, "I overheard someone mention you when you arrived with Alicia earlier."

Brett examined Elianna, furrowing his brows at her composed expression, then smiled and said, "I apologize for mistaking you for someone else just now."

Elianna returned the smile and replied, "No problem, but now I have to leave to..."

"Ms. Gentry, you're from Oakpool, right?" Before Elianna could finish speaking, Brett interrupted her.

"I'm from Elfold, and this is my first visit to Oakpool. Could you recommend some interesting places?"

"Sure." Elianna remained calm on the surface, but unease gnawed at her.

She knew Brett was growing more suspicious of her with every passing second, and being in his presence meant danger.

However, she couldn't refuse his request. Refusing would only make her seem guilty.

As she made recommendations, Brett kept asking probing questions that felt more like an interrogation than casual curiosity.

Just as she found herself entangled in his inquiries, a hurried waiter rushed over and approached her.

He bowed to them and informed her, "Ms. Gentry, Ms. Nola is calling you to the upstairs lounge. She has something urgent to discuss."

Elianna secretly sighed in relief and apologized to Brett, "I'm sorry, but my sister is calling for me. I must leave now."

"No problem, Ms. Gentry. You're busy, go ahead," Brett replied.

...

As Elianna walked away, the feeling of being observed finally dissipated.

She took a deep breath and belatedly broke out in a cold sweat.

Once she had calmed down, she asked the waiter, "Did Nola mention why she wanted to see me?"

"No, Ms. Nola only said that you should come immediately," the waiter replied.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the door of the lounge.

The waiter led Elianna there and left, leaving her pacing outside the door alone.

She wondered why Nola would call for her when she was supposed to be with Jefferson.

Would there be something inappropriate if she went in?
