Chapter 216: Chapter 216: If He Is Threatening and Coercing You, I Can Help You

"I’m really sorry about what happened last time. I must have scared you," Preston Vance said, a guilty look on his face.

"It definitely scared me," Chloe Reed said. "But who were those people? Have you taken care of everything?"

"Yeah," Preston Vance replied. "It’s pretty much resolved. You don’t have to be afraid around me anymore."

His tone was light and teasing, naturally steering the conversation elsewhere.

"When I came in, I thought you were meeting someone. I didn’t expect you to be eating by yourself." Preston Vance looked at her quizzically. "Is there anything you need help with?"

Chloe Reed thought for a moment before shaking her head. "Not right now. But don’t worry, I’ll call you if I do."

"Right, you’ve never called me," Preston Vance said, taking out his phone. "Why don’t you call me now? That way I can save your number."

Chloe Reed was a little surprised, but she thought, ’We’re friends, after all. And what if I really do need to ask him for a favor someday?’

’He’d probably hang up on an unknown number.’

So, she nodded, took out her phone, and dialed his number.

His phone rang. Preston Vance glanced at the screen and saved her number.

A smile touched his lips. "Now this is more like it."

Chloe Reed was confused. "Why do you say that?"

"Well... I guess I just felt there was still some distance between us. This feels much better," he admitted.

Chloe Reed nodded slowly, then asked, "Do you want to order anything else?"

"No, I’m good. This is plenty."

The food at the restaurant was, in fact, excellent. Preston Vance couldn’t stop praising it, saying he would definitely be back.

The two of them left the restaurant together. By now, the sky had grown completely dark.

Standing by the side of the road, Preston Vance offered, "Let me take you home. I don’t feel right about you going back by yourself."
