"Stop joking around, Mr. Clark." I frowned slightly. I really didn't like how overly familiar he was acting.
"Do you think I'm too young?" Sawyer pushed the dish that was just served towards me and looked at me, teasing ambiguously, "Arianna, don't you agree that young people are energetic?"
I found no meaning in continuing the topic, so I got up and said, "I will inform you of the time of bidding as soon as possible. If there is nothing else, I'll get going first."
He grabbed my wrist slightly forcefully, stopping me in my tracks as he asked in a suggestive tone, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?" His gaze was directed outside the restaurant.
Out of instinct, I followed his gaze and looked over, only to meet with Hendrix's gaze.
I also saw Andrea standing next to him. I quickly looked away and tugged my hand away from Sawyer's, but he didn't seem to want to release his grip.
I frowned, my tone slightly displeased as I warned, "Let go of my hand!"
"Let's watch a movie together before leaving." As he spoke, Sawyer dragged me back to my seat and forced me to sit down. With a smile on his face, he said to Hendrix and Andrea, "Mr. Roberts, what a coincidence! Let's eat together!"
I was unhappy. My expression was blank as I asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"I'd like to see what happens next!" After finishing his words, Sawyer took the chance to sit beside me.
Hendrix's face darkened as he walked over with Andrea and sat down across us.
Naturally, Andrea saw me. After what had happened before, she stopped putting on an act and immediately shot me an unfriendly glance. The look in her eyes was very eerily unpleasant.
It was good that she wasn't pretending anymore. I didn't want to bother faking my actions, so I simply took out my phone and started tapping on it in boredom.
Sawyer's warm voice could be heard as he chimed, "Mr. Roberts, Andrea, what would you like to eat? I'll order them for you!"
I wanted to laugh. Didn't he just call Hendrix an old thing just a moment ago? Why the politeness all of a sudden?
Hendrix glanced at him indifferently before turning to look at Andrea, asking, "What would you like to eat?"
