Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 949

But of course, Ximena didn't do what was on her head. She took a step and walked forward in her four-inch high heels. When she caught up with Ted, she looked at him and said in a cold voice, "It's not that I dare not, but I just can't understand the situation. If James wants to see me, he could give me a call by himself. Why did he ask you to pick me up?"

"If he gives you a call, then the matter will be James meeting you," Ted explained with an even more annoying smile on his face. "But the fact is I went to invite you. The person who meets you would be Ted and not James. Right?"

With the creases on her forehead slightly flattening, Ximena realized what he meant and she just sneered at him and said, "Ted, are you so naive as to believe that Aaron would not know about this? That I came out to meet James because of what you have done?" Seeing that the smile on Ted's face was no longer as natural as before, she continued, "If you believe so, I have to say that you don't know Aaron well enough. I'm sure that as soon as I entered the cafe, Aaron had known that already."

"Oho? Is that the case?" Intending to annoy her, Ted prolonged his voice intentionally. "Well then, knowing that still you dare meet James in such a case?"

"Why not?" Winning over Ted this time, Ximena could not help chuckling. "I don't have any relationship with him now." While saying that, she took the lead in walking inside and left the door with the guidance of the waiter.

Looking at Ximena's back, Ted could not help but show the whites of his eyes helplessly. He mumbled to himself, "This woman matches Aaron so well. The two of them have the identical style..."

"What kind of style?" Ted was not able to finish his words when somebody asked him from behind.

"Of course they are both overconfident, self-righteous..." without looking back as to whom was it who asked the question, Ted answered with his loose tongue, which was quicker than his brain. He didn't realize something was wrong until he had half finished his words. Then the smile on his face became stiff and the corners of his mouth began twitching.

With one swift stride, Aaron strode forward. He was coming to meet Eric nearby, but he had been informed of Ximena's arrival on his way here. The moment he had arrived, it had been just in time for him to overhear the last sentence Ximena had uttered. Thus, he mocked, "Does James have to make so much a hassle just to meet her?"

Hearing Aaron's question, Ted could not help but roll his eyes. Looking at Aaron, he answered crossly, "He certainly does not have to, but he is afraid that the meeting would upset somebody and somebody else would suffer a disaster because of him." His words were meaningful and barbed. Aaron knew very well that he was referring to him, however, it seemed that Aaron didn't care about it at all.

A little vexed by his brother's behavior, Aaron looked at Ted, squinting his eyes slowly. He decided to shift the topic of conversation, so he asked, "Is James going to fly on a trip this evening?"

"Hmm!" nodding his head, Ted answered and sighed slightly. "He has a manor in Provence. He wants to stay there. As for the Leng's Corporations here, he said he believed he would get quite an amount of dividends every year since the company is under your leadership."
