Chapter 207 I’m Worried About You
Lynette was happily chatting with Luna when her phone decided to make itself an annoyance.
When she saw that it was the restaurant’s general manager calling, she immediately told Luna, “I need to take a call.”
As soon as she stepped outside the private room, her face turned sour as she answered the call. “What’s the matter? You were supposed to stop them! Yet, here you are, disturbing my meal!”
However, when she heard the general manager’s explanation, she exclaimed, “What?! They want to demolish the restaurant? Let them do it, and we’ll make them compensate the Pearsons for such an outrage! Who does he think he is? I want to see how he plans to pull such a stunt!”
Abigail faintly heard her talking outside.
She turned her head and glanced at the private room door before asking Eric, “Is she okay? Why would someone suddenly want to demolish the restaurant?”
Eric looked bewildered and replied, “I don’t know. You can ask her about it later.”
Josh remained silent throughout the meal and wisely didn’t bring up Abigail’s background. He acted as though he was genuinely there to have a meal.
Luna wasn’t foolish as she finally connected the dots. It seemed that Eric’s care for Abigail on the set wasn’t just because they were friends. Instead, it was because of someone with the family name Pearson…
When Lynette returned to the private room, Abigail inquired, “Who wants to demolish
restaurant?”

This question caught Lynette off guard for a moment, but she quickly explained, “It’s nothing… Someone is just making themselves a nuisance. It’s just an annoying troublemaker.”
Midway through the meal, the noise outside suddenly escalated.
Abigail couldn’t help but wonder if the annoying troublemaker Lynette had mentioned was barging the door right now.
Just as she was thinking about it, the door to the private room was violently shoved open with a loud bang.
Everyone inside was startled by such a sudden intrusion.
Four or five burly men in black suits barged in.
Abigail began to worry if Lynette had offended some dangerous individuals upon seeing them.
Nonetheless, her worries were assuaged when she noticed Cameron leading the way, followed by
Sean.
Luna, who had been on edge, burst into laughter upon seeing Sean.
Lynette shot daggers at Cameron and then at Sean.
“Sean, couldn’t you have sent a text or made a call? You know, like a normal person?” Abigail stood up while furrowing her brow in displeasure.
Given the current situation, Abigail could tell that Lynette had gotten someone to block Cameron and Sean’s way. As a result, they had entered the restaurant by force.
So, Lynette was probably taking revenge against Cameron for stopping her last time, which had resulted in Sean getting dragged into their mess? Or… Did Josh and Eric give out warnings to the staff?
