This was the first time Yuri had called him. “Yes, I will be free,” Baron said after pondering for a while.
“Let’s go for a lunch at twelve o’clock, in Spring Garden Restaurant. My treat.” Yuri hung up, giving him no chance to say no.
It seemed that Baron had no choices. In fact, he knew Yuri invited him for lunch to thank him for saving her. She might intend to explain and apologize to him. But Baron didn't expect she would say sorry, she was as proud as Tracy.
Spring Garden Restaurant was the top restaurant in Cona. Whatever people wanted to eat could be found here.
Twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Baron and Yuri arrived almost at the same time.
“Why do you invite me for lunch?” Baron asked deliberately.
But Yuri gave him a glare, “Don't ask me anything and you just worry about eating.”
Affronted at her impertinence, Baron was not angry; on the contrary, he appreciated his naive sister-in-law. If he could keep on good terms with Yuri, maybe he would move in Perry courtyard earlier.
“Yuri?” sounded a voice behind them.
Yuri trembled at the sudden voice. They turned round and found a young couple smiling at them.
The handsome man was in a light blue suit and wire-rimmed glasses. The top two buttons of his inner white shirt were unbuttoned, looking cool and wild.
Before Baron knew it, Yuri took his arm as if she were his girlfriend.
“Hello! Ewin.” Yuri tried to squeeze out a happy smile.
Ewin studied the Baron in front and smiled at Yuri. Then he introduced, “Louis, my wife.” He hesitated for a fraction of a second before introducing Yuri, “Yuri, my…college classmate.”
“So, you are Yuri. Ewin talked about you! You are the girl who ran after him for the whole time in college,” Louis said and put out a hand.
Although Louis’ words cut her deeply, Yuri beamed as she greeted, “Nice to meet you!”
“I have booked a private box. Let's go to have lunch together!” Ewin invited.
“Yes, this is the best restaurant in Cona, so it is very difficult to book a box here. I'm sure you didn't get one. Why don't you join us?” Louis said.
Her mocking tone and haughty manner made Yuri angry, so Yuri wanted to say no, but Baron gladly accepted their invitation.
Yuri was angry at his decision and pinched him heavily.
They went into a private room and sat down at the table.
“Yuri, we haven't seen each other for years,” Ewin laughed, “In those years, you prepared breakfast for me for a whole month to win my heart. It is still vivid in my memory.”
He seemed so superior when he reminisced about the past.
Yuri looked displeased, speechless.
Ewin continued, “Fortunately, you have a boyfriend now. Well, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.” Ewin said and lifted his glass.
“And me.” Louis lifted her glass too.
Yuri managed to restrain her anger. “Thank you!” she said, trying to smile naturally.
“Fortunately, you failed to marry Ewin, or I would never have the best husband.” Louis said and put her heads against Ewin's shoulder.
“Ah! Honey. I am sorry! I dropped the Louis Vuitton bag to the floor. That bag cost you a bundle.”
“Never mind! And, I did not spend too much money. Fifteen thousand is a drop in the ocean for me. As it's dirty now, why don't we just throw it out and get a better one?” Ewin said gently.
“Honey, it's so kind of you. I love you.” Louis said and kissed him as if there was nobody else in the room.
When Yuri saw the couple openly flirting with each other, she tried to smother her anger, gripping her fists tightly.
“Yuri, where do you work?” Louis asked.
“Brone Group.” Yuri said coldly.
“What a coincidence!” Ewin laughed, “Uh, you know what? Camel, a friend of mine, is the company’s general manager. We will discuss a constructive cooperation in a couple of days. That’s why I am here. I will ask Camel to take care of you. Just give me the word.”
“Yes, yes. Ewin and Camel are best friends. We are willing to talk you up to Camel. But if you are incompetent, there's not a whole lot we can do. After all, Brone Group isn’t Ewin’s. Even if it is, we can't help a fool. Don't you think so?” Louis said.
