Emily told Cherie to meet her at a nearby coffee shop the following day.
Emily was punctual to their meeting. However, Cherie seemed to be half an hour late.
Since Emily was a punctual person, she absolutely despised it when others were not. Furthermore, she was quite the powerful person herself, so that meant that only others would be waiting for her, not the other way around.
Emily was a foreigner so she was quite open in showing her emotions. She was furious as she exclaimed, "You're half an hour late. Your inability to be punctual is the biggest insult to me."
Cherie sat down and started ordering a drink without being bothered by her. She flipped through the menu and signaled the waiter over as she said, "I'll have a latte."
"Alright."
Emily frowned and found Cherie to be extremely arrogant, so she complained, "You don't even respect me the slightest bit."
Cherie raised her gaze, stared at her, and said, "You're the one who wanted to meet me. Therefore, you should be willing to wait for me. I never forced you to do so anyway. If you can't wait for me, you could have just left."
Emily gritted her teeth and snapped back at her, "Similar to Boyle, you have quite the silver tongue as well. You're able to twist facts just like him. It seems you both are perfect for each other."
Cherie corrected her, "No. We're not just perfect for each other, we're basically soulmates."
Emily replied with a helpless sigh, "Fine. I heard you've gotten back together with Boyle recently?"
"Yeah."
"Why did you guys break up in the first place then?"
Cherie replied, "I don't have to explain anything to you."
Emily was speechless.
Cherie took a sip of latte when the waiter brought it over. She suddenly asked Emily a random question, "Is Boyle's lasagna delicious?"
Emily was stunned since it had already been years since she ate it and had very little memory of its taste. "It's alright."
Cherie chuckled since Emily's reply was exactly as she expected. She knew a woman like her would never know how to appreciate those types of things.
Emily raised her brows and said, "I heard that you absolutely loved his lasagna. Are there any special reasons why?"
"Nope. I just really like it."
Emily said, "When I signed the contract with him back then, I was told that men from North City are quite talented in cooking and wanted him to cook a full course meal for me. However, he only made a simple dish and even told me that his most beloved woman absolutely loves it."
Cherie paused while stirring her cup of coffee. It seemed Emily's remark had even made her eyes twitch.
It meant that Boyle had absolutely no intention of cooking for Emily. He had only made her favorite dish because she was somewhat on his mind?
Cherie looked up and stared directly at Emily. "Although both your appearance and imagination are quite beautiful and interesting, Boyle is mine. I won't ever allow you to continue meeting him alone anymore in the future, not even as friends."
Emily stared wide-eyed at Cherie as she helplessly waved her hands around and asked, "Why?"
She could not understand why since Boyle was a free man regardless of their relationship. Why could she not meet him anymore even as friends?
