Chapter 125 Face–Off
Sitting in the most famous rooftop restaurant in the bustling city of Pendorf, Abigail shared a brief conversation with Lewis about work. However, he quickly became engrossed in discussing the script with someone else and left her feeling somewhat redundant.
Anthony, sitting next to her, held two glasses of wine and handed one to her. “This one is called
Passion Coast. Give it a try.”
“It seems like Director Lewis doesn’t have anything important to discuss with me right now. I think
I should go home. If there’s any work–related matter, you can talk to me during the day. My
grandmother will worry if I don’t go back soon,” she said as she held the glass and smiled at
Anthony.
He checked the diamond–studded watch on his wrist and raised an eyebrow. “It’s only 8.30PM. I’ll‘
send you home at 9.30PM. How about that?”
She hesitated a bit. “I’m a marri-
“Mr. Booker!” An excited voice interrupted her.
Both turned their heads to see a middle–aged man approaching with a glass of wine, after which
Abigail let out a sigh of exasperation.
Anthony leaned back in his chair, his tone somewhat lazy. “Mr. Townsend, you’re dining here as
well?”
“Yes. I just dropped by and didn’t expect to see you here,” Donovan Townsend said as he looked at Abigail and flashed a more ingratiating smile. “Is this your wife? She’s delicate and beautiful, like a white lily.”
Anthony chuckled and clinked his glass of liquor against Donovan’s glass. “Nah, Mr. Townsend, she’s my junior. Enjoy your meal; my treat for your table.”
Donovan politely accepted the offer and quickly left as though he wanted to give the couple some
private space.
Anthony looked at Abigail with uncontained delight in his voice. “Don’t mind them, Abby. These people are just gossipy. Try the Passion Coast. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Just as she was about to take a sip, a familiar voice sounded behind her. “Mr. Booker, it’s been a long time. How have you been?”
Anthony turned his head and saw a man exuding an icy aura. He smiled warmly. “Mr. Graham, long time no see. I’ve been well.”
Abigail instinctively glanced behind her.
Sean was dressed in a white suit with a black shirt and a gray–blue checkered tie. He stood in the dimly lit open–air restaurant and looked exceptionally outstanding. It was the first time she had seen him in a white suit, and it left her feeling somewhat dazed.
Abigail felt a bit confused by their conversation. What are they doing?
