Chapter 20
By eleven, they left as planned, accompanied by three people from Kage’s company. The meeting took place in the upper part of a mall where the three officials were already waiting
Hope we didn’t keep you waiting for too long?” Sylvie asked with a warm smile as she took her seat next to Kage.
‘Not at all. It’s nothing to worry about,” One of thein said with a wide smile
Sylvie noticed there was a certain way he looked at them.
‘Look at you both, you use to be a thing” he said at last. “You look so cute together. Whatever happened?” He was an older Sgure and sounded more like a father speaking to his children.
Sylvie couldn’t control the rush of heat that ran up her cheeks, Jeez
She shifted uncomfortably in her seat, clearing her throat. She noticed Kage glance at her before lowering his head to the files in front of him that he had been trying to sort.
‘Let’s just go
t go to the business of the day, Mr. Antonio,” he said in his usual grumpy tone,
Yeah, right. The business of the day.
The meeting lasted for over an hour, and when it finally came to an end. Sylvie was relieved that she was finally getting food to
cal.
Their companions went their way to get their own food, while Kage led her to a different floor. Of course, he couldn’t eat with
the others.
Sylvie wasn’t surprised when he’d already made a reservation in the VIP room. It was a large room with tall large windows that provided a breathtaking view to the city outside.
They had flowers on the four corners of the room, and well, it smelt extremely nice to Sylvie, she wanted to them.
Unlike Westley, Kage didn’t bother pulling out her seat for her. Not that she cared, anyway.
They both took their seats after which, a waitress came in to take their orders. She had a friendly smile on her face.
Sylvie had a hard time making a choice as she went through the menu. It was as though, she wanted to eat everything and nothing. She hated days when it felt like that
Kage placed his own order while she still struggled with hers.
“You kept ringing hunger in my cars, Sylvie, now you can’t even make a choice?” He scoffed.
She bit her bottom lip. Fine
She flipped over to the Italian page. “Just get me the Minestrone soup, and marinated olives I’d prefer a glass of freshly squeezed orange and apple juice. And she glanced at another page. “Do you have chocolate sticks?”
The waitress tried to hide her surprise behind a genial smile. “Yes, ma’am. We’ll get started on the orders, she dipped her head and left.
“What sort of weird appetite is that? Don’t you eat at home?” Kage pinched his brows together as he asked
Sylvie remains silent, not wanting to say anything implicating.
She was supposed to bring up the land issue before Kage, to speak on Westley’s behalf, but she didn’t know if it was the right tine Plus, his reaction stared her. Perhaps, it be best not to ruin her mood before eating
Chapter 20
She’d read that it was normal for pregnant women to eat more, but hers seemed extreme. Perhaps, if only her mum was still alive to provide her with some guidance.
“I really think you should calm down, Sylvie. You eat like you’ve been abducted and starved,” Kage said along the way.
“Well, sorry, Mr. Hawkins, do I embarrass you? Would you, perhaps, want to have the room to yourself?” She struck out. “Not necessarily,” Kage shrugged. “You just make it seem like you haven’t been feeding properly since you left.” Sylvie’s eyes widened by a degree. What the hell!?
*Has anyone ever told you how unnecessarily proud and arrogant you are, Kage?” her face was crumpled up in a frown. He gave that nonchalant shrug. “Aside some relatives, no one has ever been bold enough to say it to my face.”
“Yet here you are – sticking around.”
