Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266
“No.”
“Eric is moody and doesn’t think before he speaks. He doesn’t take your words seriously.”
“No, I was just worried that you might pick a fight with him. After all, there will be countless encounters between you, since you two are doing business in the same city.”
“Don’t worry, I know when to stop. Also, it was just a joke between us, so I believe it will not affect our business.” Dylan shrugged.
“That may not be the case because Eric is a mean and vindictive man. You have to be careful.”
“Are you saying that Eric is a mean and vindictive man?” Dylan couldn’t help but laugh. “Most businessmen consider him generous, capable and noble. He would be ridiculed if others heard what you said.”
“That’s just his cover. The Eric I know is petty,” I countered.
“Serious? Tell me how Eric is in his eyes.”
“I” My words stuck in my throat, as I couldn’t tell him how Eric had cruelly ridiculed me and extorted medical fees from me. Naturally, I couldn’t tell him that Eric had tricked me either.
My silence made Dylan laugh. “I’m sure it was Carson who said bad things about Eric to you. In fact, Eric has stolen Carson’s business before. However, it’s about capability when it comes to doing business. Carson is not capable enough and even slanders Eric behind his back. Still, that’s not what a man should do.
“N-No. Carson didn’t say those things to me.”
“Okay, I know you sympathize with Carson. But Lily, you can’t be that naive. You should be more vigilant as there are people scheming out there that you might not be able to see at first glance.”
Dylan was hinting that there was a problem with Carson. In the past, if he said these things to me, I would think he had an ulterior motive. Now, I could only smile helplessly.
Spectators were said to understand the entire game more. How despicable could Carson be that my friends would keep pointing out their problems to me?
Seeing that Eric stopped the car, Dylan stopped the car too. After getting out of the car, Camille walked over and held my hand. “Lily, do you know this place?”
“Yes, I’ve been here before.”
“Fine, you will be our guide today.”
I tried to remember what was in the place and we ended up going to a steakhouse I visited five years ago. Unexpectedly, the shop owner remained the same. Seeing us, he came over and greeted us hospitably.
After we were seated in a private room, the shop owner, alongside a waiter, brought out bottles of beer smiling and laid out four menus for us.
Without looking at the menu, I directly ordered a few dishes. Camille was surprised, while Eric stared at me.
“Your preference for food remains the same as before,” said the shop owner with a smile.
“I can’t believe you still remember my favorite food after five years.” I was surprised.
“Yes, you, your friend, and this gentleman came here often in the past. You and your friend loved spicy food, while this gentleman didn’t. However, he always agreed with her choice and never said anything.”

Upon hearing that, I couldn’t help but look at Dylan. “You don’t like spicy food? But I remember you ate a lot back then.”
