Chapter 360 The Inexplicable Man
Lyra did not react. The waiter came to serve the dishes and interrupted the conversation between the two of them.
Lyra smelled the fragrance of the food and thought about how to ease the awkward atmosphere. “A friend specially recommended this dish. Try some.”
She wanted to be as casual as possible.
But… why did the atmosphere get colder? She took a few bites and found that Hank did not move his chopsticks at all, and he was not satisfied.
Lyra ate alone and also felt that the food was tasteless.
After thinking for a while, she was still not sure how she had made him unhappy. “The dishes are not to your liking?” She muttered. Hank tightened his grip on his coffee cup. Just as he was about to take out the bracelet from his pocket, a person walked over.
The figure came to Lyra’s side and stopped. “Miss Jones, what a coincidence.” A gentle but gloomy voice sounded. Xuanze greeted Lyra at first, then looked at Hank and nodded slightly. “Mr. Barnwell is also here.”
Also there?
The bottom of Hank’s eyes was already cold, obviously showing hostility. As if he did not notice, Xuanze smiled and said, “I have an appointment upstairs. See you guys around.” So, he had specially come over just to say hello to Lyra? The fire in Hank’s heart was already burning. Lyra did not notice it at all. She only thought that he was unhappy because of business matters, or that the Barnwell group would have competition with Yuanpeng Group in the future.
After all, Hank was a workaholic. Other than business, he did not care about anything else.
“Okay, Mr. Evans.” Hearing the way Lyra addressed Xuanze, Hank had no appetite at all. They were really special to each other.
Lyra even got up to send him to the stairs. By the time she returned, Hank had already put away his phone. He put his hand in his pocket and stared straight at her. That kind of gaze made people very uncomfortable. “Mr. Barnwell, if you think…” Lyra frowned. “What did you call me?” “Huh?” Before Lyra could finish, he interrupted her. Hearing his words, she responded, “Mr. Barnwell?” The man’s face turned cold.
“I still have a meeting. I’ll be leaving first.”
He got up and left with no hesitation. Lyra felt as if an extremely cold wind had swept past her. She ground her teeth in anger. She always knew that she could not be too humble. This was great. She had been abandoned here for no reason. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have ordered so much.” When could this man’s temperamental personality change? Before the rest of the dishes were served, Lyra ordered all of them to be packed, and then walked out of the restaurant alone with a pile of lunch boxes. On the road far away, the man had been looking at her. The weather was getting cold. Lyra took a few steps and shivered. “I should take a taxi.”
She took out her phone and asked for a car. She stood by the roadside and waited. Hank sat in the car and was talking to Jasper on the phone. “Yes, she just came out and is alone.”
