Love Coming from the Least Expected

Chapter 153

Christopher was staring at a painting on the wall. I was relieved he didn’t notice me.

“Miss, can I have the menu? You can’t take this away.” A waiter came up to me and reached out his hand.

I didn’t want to attract any attention, so I murmured some random dishes and hid behind a partitioned table. I immediately slumped down into the seat and kept my ears open.

The waiter turned a blind eye to odd behavior. Soon, he returned with my first order. I ate and eavesdropped as they talk.

Since there was a small gap in the partition, I peeked. Christopher gracefully took a few bites of the exquisite bun before he sipped his soup as Crystal fidgeted in her seat. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Christopher, why did you send those to me?” she asked anxiously.

“Let’s talk after we eat. I’m starving,” he replied nonchalantly. “Well, if you can’t wait, you can leave now. And what I do with them will be none of your business.”

It was rare to see her in shock. He had gotten hold of her Achilles’ heel. I somehow felt contented to see her cornered.

“Fine.. I haven’t had my breakfast as well, so let’s eat.” She shared some of her food with him and flashed an innocent smile. That b*tch! How dare she flirt with him!

However, Christopher left hers untouched and continued to eat his meal. When he’d finished, he drank another spoonful of soup before he gazed up at her. “I think you know how significant that thing is.”

“Of course! That’s why I’m sitting here with you now. What can I do to have it back?” Crystal set her fork down. Then she traced a finger seductively from her chin to her neck, stuck her tongue out, and licked her lips.

“Please, I will do anything. You have my word,” she said with a breathy voice that could make men go wild.

I rolled my eyes and cringed. To distract myself, I ate. Suddenly, I coughed and spluttered my mouthful of food.

“Miss, are you okay?” a passing waiter asked politely. “If you can’t handle the spiciness, try it with bread.”

My mouth and throat were burning. It was too painful to speak, so I signaled her for a glass of water. She gazed at me with pity for a moment, then immediately did as told. I gulped the drink in one go. Eventually, I calmed down and thanked her.

“Haha!” Suddenly, I heard Christopher’s laughter. How dare he smile! I’m going to teach him a lesson when he gets home. I pricked up my ears again and paid attention to their conversation.

“I can’t do that. I’ve put so much effort to be a part of Vilas Art Exhibition. I can’t give up my spot to someone else.” Crystal declined.
