Chapter 302
Yvonne knew that Stella found Lucas biased against her, and therefore, did not want to bump into him.
“Why don’t we have dinner together?” she suggested. “Lucas is busy with something at the hospital today and will return very late. I don’t have plans anyway.”
Stella gave it a little thought before agreeing to Yvonne’s suggestion. Both of them would probably have fewer opportunities to meet in the future and share a meal. She had no reason to reject Yvonne.
“I call dibs on treating you!” she insisted. “You can pick a place.”
Yvonne smiled. “Sure.”
The last time Yvonne chose to bring Stella to an entertainment venue, Lucas had repeatedly nagged at her, warning against doing such a thing again. This time, she obediently selected a western restaurant with romantic vibes that seemed more suitable for couples. Both ladies chatted leisurely as they waited for their dishes to be served. The next moment, Yvonne’s expression changed. Her face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly turned cold.
Stella was stunned for a moment, thinking that she must’ve said something wrong. “What’s the matter/”
Yvonne remained silent as she stared at a particular corner.
Stella followed her gaze and her face stiffened up as well.
At a booth seat’s distance away from them, she saw Lucas sharing a meal with an elegantly dressed woman.
There wasn’t much to this scene by itself, except that Lucas had told Yvonne that he had intended to work overtime at the hospital tonight, yet he ended up sharing a meal here with another gorgeous woman.
This was clearly an issue.
Yvonne forced herself to calm down. “There must be some misunderstanding…”
The next moment, she saw a napkin drop from the woman’s hand onto the floor.
