Chapter 399 The Only One
Faye's voice sounded indifferent and Edward couldn't tell if she was provoking him.
Edward, who sat opposite her, turned pale and gloomy. He forced a smile and said, "Ms. Nash, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand your words?"
He was forty-eight years old now and was relatively fat.
Though he looked like an upright and honest man, hints of cunningness would flash across his eyes from time to time.
Faye wasn't in a hurry to expose his true color when she heard his words. She sat down with a smile and called a waiter over to order dishes.
The more composed Faye appeared, the more unsettled Edward became.
Faye ordered several dishes and then handed the menu to the waiter, signaling him to give the menu to Edward.
How would Edward have the mood to order dishes now? However, to cover his nervousness, he still ordered two dishes.
After that, the waiter left the room. Edward coughed lightly and then went straight to the point.
"Ms. Nash, I wonder if there's any misunderstanding behind this."
"I heard from my secretary about the accident of that endorsement. Alas."
Edward observed Faye's expression while talking,
Sensing that Faye wouldn't accept any explanation, Edward took a deep breath, braced himself, and continued, "Ms. Nash, as the saying goes, obstructing one from earning money is like killing his parents. You tricked me here today. Aren't you afraid that I'll take desperate measures?"
Faye looked up at him and then looked down and took a sip of the tea.
Edward was lost for words.
When the waiter served all the dishes they had ordered on the table, Faye still remained silent.
She had a good appetite today. Except for the dishes, she also finished half plate of noodles.
Sitting opposite her, however, Edward didn't enjoy the food at all. He drank two cans of beer quietly.
The atmosphere in the room was very bizarre. When they almost finished eating, Edward's face looked extremely gloomy.
The door of the room was pushed open when Edward reached the limit of his endurance. Maxwell, who was in an ancient costume and had a string of Buddha beads around his wrist, showed up at the door.
A hint of surprise flashed across Edward's eyes when he saw Maxwell. He tipped him a wink, wanting to signal him, but Maxwell had walked into the room.
He strode over, stood behind Edward, reached out, and patted his shoulder. "Edward, I'm sorry."
Edward was confused.
Maxwell continued, "I'll treat you to a meal later."
Edward didn't reply.
Maxwell said with a smile, "Edward, my driver is waiting outside. You've drunk some alcohol, so please let him send you back."
Edward had been desperately wanting to leave, so Maxwell's words were like an exemption for him. He stood up, picked up his jacket, and walked to the door.
But he suddenly turned around after taking two steps, held Maxwell's hand, and reminded him in a lower voice, "Maxwell, beware of this woman."
