Chapter 875
"What a coincidence, we met again."
The voice sounded familiar...
Catelyn turned her head and saw Alfred's handsome face.
Her heart sank. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
Could he be following her deliberately?
Alfred smiled. "I'm a frequent visitor here. I didn't expect you to like it here as well. It seems that we both have the same taste."
’Well, it just so happened that there was nothing elsewhere to eat today," replied Catelyn perfunctorily as she continued to bring her client in for dinner.
However, her client's phone rang all of a sudden, and he had something to attend to. He apologized to Catelyn and left.
Without her client around, Catelyn naturally did not plan to stay any longer at this restaurant.
As she tried to leave the place, Alfred took a step and stopped in front of her. "It’s noon and you still have to eat something eventually. Let me buy you a meal. Consider it as compensation for all the trouble I caused in that car accident,” he said politely.
"I'm married," Catelyn said.
Alfred did not investigate Catelyn's background, and he was slightly startled when he heard her say it.
His eyes slid down instantly, landing on the ring finger of her right hand.
That dazzling ring on Catelyn's finger reminded him of the splendid firework show he had seen in the skies of Sapphire City just days ago.
He changed his words and patiently suggested, "I don't mean anything else, I just heard that the local people in Sapphire City are very hospitable, and I wish to experience it."
Catelyn was trying to figure out how to reject this troublesome man. At this moment, she saw a good-looking couple entering the restaurant.
The man was Louis Joe, but Catelyn could not recognize the lady beside him.
Louis' contract was canceled by the Pentaland Group. In addition to Quinn's scandal and his recent financial betrayal, his reputation also plummeted. The fact that he still could get a woman with him now was most likely due to his good looks.
A sly look flashed in Catelyn's eyes, and she pointed to the two of them. ’ Did you see that? That man has a grudge against me, and I don't like being in the same restaurant as him."
"Not a problem. If I can make them disappear, will you accept my invitation?" Alfred said indifferently.
Catelyn listened to his domineering and arrogant words. She chuckled. ’ Mister Wagner, I thought you were just thick-skinned, but I didn't expect you to be very bragging."
Alfred kept a smile as he continued to look at Catelyn. He motioned her to take a seat as he snapped his fingers, and right after that, a waiter followed them.
Catelyn thought he was going to ask the waiter to force Louis and the woman out. However, he handed her the menu of the restaurant instead. Alfred politely asked, is there anything you don't eat?"
Catelyn did not order any food. She asked Alfred playfully, "Didn't you say that you can make some people disappear? Was that all just a lie?"
