Armond stood up and greeted him with a smile. “Thank you for coming, Mr. White. We’ve ordered the dishes, and they will be served soon.”
After that, Marcus was invited to sit opposite me. I could not help but frown. How is he the representative of the third-party company?
As I glanced to the side, I saw Ashton peeling the lobster that had been served just now. When he saw me looking at him, he flashed me a smile. “Hungry?”
I shook my head and opened my mouth to verbally decline him. But before I could say no to him, he had put a piece of shelled lobster into my mouth.
I was stunned for a second before starting to chew on it. The lobster was surprisingly delicious.
He looked at me and grinned. “How’s the taste?”
“It’s good,” I replied, nodding my head.
Smiling, he continued to shell the lobster gracefully and said with a gentle tone of voice, “Slow down. I’ll peel more for you.”
He was acting as if no other people were eating together with us.
As I continued to enjoy the lobster, I gradually understood the situation. Judging from Ashton’s behavior, it seemed that he had known that Marcus would come today, and that was why he followed me to this dinner.
All of a sudden, I noticed a sharp glare from the side. I looked up and saw Rebecca shooting daggers at me. She looked as if she wanted to swallow me alive.
Grinning at her childish behavior, I arched my brow at her. Looks like someone hasn’t given up yet. Is this already too much for her to tolerate? Then, I cocked my head to the side and looked at Ashton, saying, “I want more, Ashton.”
He placed the lobster that he had peeled into my mouth and gazed at me adoringly. “Slow down. You might choke.”
I nodded and threw Rebecca a glance, smiling smugly at her.
As soon as she caught the look on my face, her face turned bright red with anger.
“Mr. and Mrs. Fuller is such a lovey-dovey couple. I don’t know about others, but I’m jealous. Haha.” Armond tried to ease the awkwardness with a joke.
Marcus narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile, “There are too many two-faced partners nowadays. I hope Mr. Fuller would be sincere to Letty.”
Hearing the affectionate nickname from Marcus, Armond jolted in surprise. “Both of you know each other?”
“In fact, we’ve known each other for a long time.” Marcus landed his gaze on me and looked at me lovingly. “This girl is so cold-hearted. She’s been ignoring me ever since the last quarrel we had, and yet I’m still missing her every day.”
