Bryan's expression turned dark. He yearned to push Chloe away, yet he did not dare to make any large movements. He was afraid that Anna might notice something.
From the beginning to the end, Bryan did not even glance at Chloe. Finally, Chloe got mad.
"Bryan, do you hate me? If so, I better leave."
Bryan wanted nothing more than for Chloe to leave. " Chloe, if you're bored, why don’t you go shopping? I can stay here and take care of Anna.
"Rest assured that I will take good care of Anna. You have nothing to worry about."
"Anna! Do you hear what Bryan is saying! Are you shunning me for being the third wheel?" Chloe's eyes turned bloodshot with rage.
The moment Chloe mentioned the third wheel, Anna was reminded of Liam.
Once, she had come to Maison’s for a date with Bryan too. Throughout the entire meal, Liam was the third wheel. Even so, he did not feel out of place at all. In fact, he acted as if he was the main man at the table.
She subconsciously stroked the black wristband on her wrist and said softly, “Bryan, don't be like that. Chloe is my sister."
Seeing Anna’s attitude made Bryan melancholic again. He glared at Chloe coldly.
Nevertheless, Chloe did not let go of a single opportunity to seduce him. Her petite hand slithered onto his long legs. Her cheeks flushed red as she gazed at him with amorous and profound eyes.
"Bryan..."
Bryan was annoyed by her constant pestering. However, he was still a man. As he gazed at that stunning and tempting woman, he could not help but yearn for her in his arms and on his bed.
Bryan stood up abruptly. "Anna, I'm going to the restroom."
Anna nodded, not saying a word.
After Bryan left, Chloe could not stay in her seat any longer. She glanced at Anna, wanting to say something but did not dare to open her mouth.
"Chloe?" Anna called out quietly.
"Anna, I’ll be taking my leave first. Enjoy your meal with Bryan!” Chloe grabbed her bag and stood up quickly. She glanced at Anna again and quietly took a turn toward the restrooms.
Anna could clearly see Chloe heading in the direction of the restrooms.
The corner of Anna’s lips curled up. She grabbed her phone and called her father. "Dad, have you reached
Maison's yet?" "I'll be reaching soon, Anna. I'm just around the corner."
"Okay, Dad. I'll order something tasty for you."
Liam was still watching from upstairs. As he saw the scene unfold, a hint of amusement appeared in his ink -black eyes.
Was his little lady finally going on the offensive?
Great!
That was exactly what Liam had trained the lady for!
Anna leaned on her chair, staring blankly at the mural on the wall. Suddenly, an attractive and familiar voice of a man sounded in her ears.
"Hamilton, you're here too."
The moment she looked up, she was instantly met with Liam’s handsome face. He was grinning ear-to-ear.
"You..." Anna inhaled sharply. How did she run into him there?
"Out for a date? That's great." Liam gazed at the table setting and asked deliberately.
"Why are you here!" Anna's entire body tensed up.
"What a coincidence. I'm here for a client. But don't worry, I’m very busy and have no time to deal with you."
What was he saying?
Liam took out his phone and called someone. "Yes, right here. I need you to be as fast as you can."
Having said that, Liam ended the call.
Anna blinked her big and bright eyes. She was still feeling anxious. That man was everywhere. Was she going to run into him every time she stepped out of the house?
Another coincidence?
Was it not too big of a coincidence!
