I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 863

Chapter 863: Do You Like Miss Cooke?

Esme said, "No problem. Let's have a meal together after you're done with work."

Lane nodded, "Sure. Are you not going out during this time?"

"Like you, I want to stay in Manches City. I don't feel like going far away," Esme said in a low voice.

Lane didn't show any extra reaction upon hearing Esme's words. He simply nodded slightly and said, "That's good."

Esme pursed her lips and then looked at Bonnie, "Is Miss Cooke alone?"

Bonnie stood up, "Lawyer Phillips invited me for dinner, but I'm ready to go home now."

Saying that, Bonnie looked at Lane, "Lawyer Phillips, why don't you chat with Miss Lee? I'll go back first, and Yanis and I will treat you to dinner another day."

Lane looked at Bonnie and said softly, "Shall I walk you back?"

Bonnie replied, "No need. I came by car, and it's parked across the street."

Seeing Bonnie's response, Lane could only nod, "Alright, you go ahead. Drive safely and let me know when you get home."

"Okay," Bonnie acknowledged, then looked at Esme, "Goodbye, Miss Lee."

"Goodbye," Esme waved to Bonnie.

After Bonnie left, Esme turned to Lane, "Did I interrupt you?"

Lane shook his head, "No, are you alone?"

Esme said, "Libby and Mila are shopping. I didn't want to go in, so I waited outside. I noticed you and came to say hello. I didn't realize Miss Cooke was there, so I came over."

Lane raised his hand to check the time, "Since you're with friends, I'll head back."

Upon hearing this, Esme looked at Lane and asked in a low voice, "Lane, do you like Miss Cooke?"

Lane lifted his gaze and looked at Esme, replying softly, "We've known each other for a long time, and we've always been friends."

"We were friends before, but what about in the future?" Esme looked at Lane. "Don't you have any other thoughts about her?"

Lane frowned slightly, "Esme, this is my own business, and Bonnie and I are friends now."

Esme smiled, "Why so serious? I didn't say anything else."

Lane didn't respond to Esme's remark, he just said quietly, "I have other things to attend to, so I'll go back now."

After saying that, Lane turned and walked away.

Esme didn't call out to Lane anymore. She watched his figure disappear from her sight before withdrawing her gaze.

"What are you looking at?" Libby walked over and handed Esme a cup of fruit tea. "Three sugars."

Esme took it from her hand, "Weren't you going shopping? Why did you buy a drink?"

Libby took a big sip of the fruit tea, "They were out of stock, so they need to restock. It'll take about half a month."

"So did you buy anything or not?" Esme asked, looking at Libby.

"No, Mila said she wanted to check out another store," Libby said in a low voice.

Esme nodded, "Okay."

"You haven't answered my question yet. What were you looking at just now, staring like a statue? I thought I saw Lawyer Phillips when I came out earlier," Libby said, looking at Esme.

Esme took a sip of her fruit tea. "It was him. He was having dinner with Miss Cooke."

Upon hearing this, Libby asked, "Miss Cooke? Is it the one I know?"
