Chapter 876
He actually did it!
Catelyn followed Alfred's line of sight and looked out the window. Next, she saw Louis and the girl being escorted out by two waiters.
They both saw Catelyn on the way out and gave her a vicious look before leaving the restaurant angrily.
Catelyn looked at Alfred in astonishment.
Unbelievable.
Alfred casually placed the cutleries and napkin in front of Catelyn. His sleeves were folded as he did so, revealing his extremely high-end Patik Filippe wristwatch.
The watch looked a bit tacky with its golden color. However, it did not have that rustic look on Alfred's wrist. Instead, it gave out a very calm and reserved vibe, probably due to Alfred's overall temperament.
Catelyn took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It is said that the owner of this restaurant is quite a powerful man. I admit that you are not bragging, Mister Wagner. But, aren't you afraid that..."
"Afraid of what?" asked Alfred.
"Causing too much trouble," replied Catelyn, subtly reminding him that he was trying too hard.
Although Alfred did not seem to have a simple background, he was from Fidelysia, after all, with no knowledge about Sapphire City. Who knew what methods he used to drive Louis and the girl away earlier just now?
"Are you worried for me?" Alfred looked at her, flattered. "Anyway, the food is here now. Shall we eat?"
Subconsciously, Catelyn did not feel very secure in this restaurant. She finished her food pretty quickly.
Alfred asked with concern, "Would you like to order another steak?"
"No, I'm full." Catelyn declined, wiping the corner of her mouth. She then asked Alfred to pay her the car repair fee directly and also settled for her own bill for the food, not intending to take advantage of Alfred.
"Mister Wagner, my apologies for the trouble today. I must go now, so I'll take my leave first," said Catelyn.
Alfred stood up from his seat gracefully and said, "Are you going back to the company? Where is the location? I can drive you there if it's on the way."
"No,” Catelyn blurted out.
Alfred stared at her for a second and then sighed helplessly. "It seems you have a bad impression of me, seeing that you have repeatedly rejected my kindness."
"My husband is easily jealous, and he doesn't like me being around other men. I just don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble for you. Please don't misunderstand," replied Catelyn.
Catelyn waved goodbye to Alfred as she entered a cab and left.
Alfred heard her mention her husband several times. With such a happy look on her face, it seemed she had a blissful marriage.
