Chapter 1097 Low-born
In a high-end restaurant, Anthony glanced at Lea’s sad face and grunted in disgust, “I have taken the time to come out and have a meal with you, so don’t look so glum in front of me, okay?”
“I-I’m sorry.” Lea bowed her head, forcing a smile onto her pale face.
Anthony looked askance at her, feeling annoyed, as Lea had been strange in the past two days and would not allow him to touch her. If he did, she would look as if someone was trying to hurt her. Upset, he took out a cigarette and was about to smoke.
Lea suddenly whispered to him, “It’s better not to smoke. Smoking is not allowed here.
“Heh, you think I’m afraid of them? I can buy ten restaurants like this at once. Who dares to tell me to put out my cigarette?” he said in a huff.
Lea knitted her eyebrows, feeling a bit nauseous, but she was afraid to say anything. The smell of smoke kept wafting over, causing her stomach to churn. But, due to the fear of Anthony’s displeasure, she fought back the discomfort.
Seeing that she had not touched the food in front of her, Anthony said, “Eat up and gain some weight. You’re too thin.”
Lea pursed her lips, picked up her cutlery, and was about to cut the steak when the smell of smoke and the black pepper of the steak hit her nostrils. She could not stand it any longer and hurriedly stood up, covering her mouth. “Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom,” she said and then ran toward the lavatory. Anthony stared at her back in disgust. ‘What a buzzkill!’
