Chapter 222 Drugged

The woman passed over her business card. and the name Linda Allen printed

waiter’s attention.

This was the last-minute customer who had booked a table just ten minutes ago-paying

rate to secure a seat.

“Right this way, Ms. Allen,” the waiter said warmly, leading Linda to a small private dining area sch diagonally across the hall.

He then politely offered her the menu.

But Linda didn’t even glance at it before setting it down on the table. “Just bring whatever you recommend. And there’s one more thing I’d like you to handle.”

She motioned for him to come closer. The waiter hesitated briefly before leaning in to listen.

After hearing her request, his expression turned uneasy. “Ms. Allen, I’m afraid that’s not really-

“There’s five hundred thousand on this card,” Linda said with a light smile, slipping it into his hand. “Don’t worry, the two people inside are friends of mine. Nothing will go wrong.”

The waiter paused, looking conflicted, but eventually pocketed the card without another word,

Meanwhile, inside the private room.

Sander had just opened the menu and was about to hand it to Isabella when she spoke first. “I’m really not hungry. Let’s just get to the point. Jason’s expecting me back home, so I can’t stay long.”

Sander smiled faintly, closed the menu unhurriedly, and pressed the service button on the wall.

“I remember you always had a sweet tooth. Their desserts are quite famous here. If you don’t feel like choosing, I’ll just have them bring one of each for you to try.”

“Sander…”

“I know, I know-down to business.”

His voice softened.

“But since this is probably the last time we’ll meet like this, there’s no need to rush through everything.”

Just then, a waiter knocked and entered.

Sander handed him the menu. “We’ll have one of each of your signature desserts and drinks, please,”

Isabella watched Sander quietly, took a sip of water, and said nothing.

After accepting the menu, the waiter glanced at her glass. “Let me refill this for you.”

Before Isabella could decline, he had already picked up both her glass and Sale

She had drunk some of hers, but Sander’s was still nearly full.

Does this waiter have some kind of compulsion?

Isabella found it a little strange and couldn’t help watching him closely.

He carried the glasses over to a small counter in the corner, his back to them. His movements seeme slightly clumsy, oddly slow.

“How are things between Jason and Xavier?”

Sander’s voice brought her attention back.

She gave a noncommittal hum.

Sander gazed at her intently, and even though she wasn’t looking at him, a gentle warmth crept into his

eyes.

“And what about you? How are you and Xavier getting along?”

Isabella lifted her head and finally met his gaze..

A flicker of irritation crossed her face, but before she could reply, Sander let out a low, self-mocking laugh.

“Sorry, that was out of line again. The fact that you’re still with him probably says enough.”

The waiter returned with the glasses, gave a slight nod, and left.

The room settled into quiet.

After a moment, Isabella released a slow breath.

“Sander, you don’t actually have feelings for me, do you? This is about getting back at Xavier, isn’t it?”

A cold shadow passed through Sander’s eyes at her words.

“Getting back at him?”

“Even if you do get back at Xavier, will it really make you happy?”

Isabella’s tone was firm, carrying a trace of something almost like pity.

Sander’s smile faded, the light in his eyes dimming.

The woman in front of him was, after all, just a youthful dream-something that belonged to the past.

He covered his face briefly, then let out a soft, derisive chuckle. “Is it that obvious that I want revenge on Xavier?”
