No Escape from Love novel Chapter 86

"Do you need my help?" Alex raised an eyebrow slightly.

I sighed deeply. "Can you come half an hour later tomorrow evening?"

He gave me a meaningful look, then nodded.

…

The next day, I arrived at the restaurant early to wait for Alex. Alongside me was Lila, who insisted on coming along.

"Hey, I have to ask." Lila stared at the menu as she inched closer to me, lowering her voice. "You're here for revenge. Is it really necessary to dress up so nicely?"

I adjusted my yellow dress. It was something I had bought for my graduation party.

I ran my finger through my voluminous, curled hair and touched up my lipstick with a mirror. "I'm not just here for revenge. We're also having a meal, aren't we?"

Lila narrowed her eyes, looking at me as a mischievous smile played on her lips.

"Okay, fine." I nudged her playfully with a smile. "Well… Alex will be here too. I don't want to always look so plain in front of him."

We waited in the restaurant for quite a while before Jolene and Elena finally arrived.

"Elena, this is the private restaurant I told you about." Jolene was wearing a sexy strappy dress. "Ronald's friend, Mr. Campbell, is a huge fan of this place."

Elena was in a white Chanel-inspired outfit, still playing the role of the pure, innocent flower. Hearing Jolene's words, she smiled shyly. "Jolene, thank you for introducing me to a rich businessman."

But the moment she saw me, the two women's facade crumbled just like that.
