Unwanted Fake Wife The Top Billionaire novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36 Dinner Trap

Nathan and Camille both looked at Elena with obvious curiosity.

Alexander and Elena did not look like two people close enough to be having dinner alone together.

They had clearly seen Alexander walking slightly behind her just moments ago, almost like he was shielding her.

It had only been a few seconds.

Elena had already composed her response. Her job had trained her to keep her expression steady no matter the situation.

She smiled lightly. “We were supposed to talk about an interview. I reached out earlier, and since it was already dinnertime, I offered to treat him.”

The words had barely left her mouth when Camille spoke up. “That’s strange. I ran into Mr. Kingsley at the bridal boutique this afternoon. When did you manage to talk about an interview? I didn’t see you there.”

Victoria looked unconvinced as well.

Elena blinked innocently. “Ryan called me last night about it. Nathan was there when I picked up. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him. Or you can ask Mr. Kingsley.”

Ask Mr. Kingsley?

No one dared. Even standing there in silence, he carried an unmistakable pressure.

Nathan recalled that Elena had indeed taken a call from Ryan the previous night, and his expression softened slightly. “Since we’re all here, Mr. Kingsley, why don’t we join tables?”

He meant it as a courtesy.

To his surprise, Alexander nodded. “Sure.”

Elena stared at him in disbelief. Is he enjoying this a little too much?\

Victor beamed so broadly his eyes nearly disappeared. “Great, great. Could we get a larger private room?”

Under the hostess’s guidance, they moved to the biggest room available. Victor presented the menu to Alexander with both hands. “The food here is excellent. Nathan and Elena used to come all the time. Since she brought you here, I’m sure you’ll like it.”

“You can order. I’m fine with anything” Alexander replied, not taking the menu. He lifted his glass of iced water and took a small sip.

Victor was not discouraged. He handed the menu to Elena instead. “Elena, you choose. If Mr. Kingsley doesn’t mind, just order your favorites.

Elena nearly rolled her eyes.

Victor was impressively two faced. No wonder he had raised a son like Nathan.
