Chapter 282: Acting Out Their Own Play
“Tsk tsk, Daniel, you are really hypocritical.” Leigh snorts, “You said you were going to New York, but
look at you coming here with Louis in the end to see someone, ahem!”
Louis says casually, “Leigh, the biggest suppliers of your two listed companies are Daniel’s. One day
Daniel is going to stop your supply and you will go bankrupt.”
The smile on Leigh’s face diappears immediately as he pours tea into Daniel’s cup, saying in a tone
dipped in flattery, “Daniel, here, drink some tea! Ignore me please, I am still young and stupid!”
Daniel is too lazy to reply.
Quite soon their table is filled with the dishes they ordered. There are too many dishes, most of which
are ordered by Leigh saying that he is afraid Jessie will go hungry. He eagerly offers her the barbecue
meat.
“Honey, try this barbecue.”
“Honey, this chicken cheese curry rice is really good. Let me feed you.”
“Honey, here’s some pear juice, open your mouth!”
“Honey…”
All the people on the table can hear his annoying “Honey”. He even leans over to kiss Jessie from time
to time, not caring about anyone else.
“Leigh.” Louis says quietly, “Can you shut up? Or do you want me to make you shut up?”
Leigh replies, “You can do this too! I don’t mind…”
Before he can finish his sentence, Daniel’s hand passes from behind Louis’s chair, grabs Leigh’s hair
and slams his face first into a plate of spaghetti with meat sauce.
Daniel asks him, “Is your mouth shut now?”
The women at the table rock back and forth roaring with laughter.
After having finished laughing, Jessie passes him a tissue, “Wipe your face, Daniel!” She snorts with
laughter, “Sorry! You look really funny!”
Leigh feels wronged, “Honey, I am doing all this for you and you are laughing at me?”
As he raises his head, his whole face covered in sticky meat sauce makes Jessie laugh crazily. Seeing
Jessie laugh, Leigh feels like he just got hit with a thousand volts.
“I am sorry… Oh! I need to take this call.” Jessie’s cellphone rings and after seeing the number she Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
hurries away to receive it.
Lily is feels curious when she sees her anxious expression.
Is there a problem at the company?
At the same time, Louis’s gaze pauses on Jessie for a bit, his expressions meaningful.
“Mr. Daniel, isn’t it a bit bland?” Seeing the food on Daniel’s plate untouched Stella passes him the
black pepper.
Daniel doesn’t even raise his eyes to look at her.
Stella rests her chin on her hand and looks at him with a smile, “Mr. Daniel, we have known each other
through quite a lot. I know that we can’t become lovers but can’t we at least be friends?”
“No need for that.” Daniel’s expressions are cold. He looks like he has nothing more to say.
Stella hums in response and continues the conversation without getting angry, “Mr. Daniel, you are
thirty-three years old, right? Are you married?”
“No comment!”
“Hmm! So, you haven’t married yet.” Stella guesses and asks again, “Do you have a child?”
“…”
Stella shakes her head and looks at him pitifully, “Mr. Daniel, you are already in your thirties but have
no girlfriend or wife and have no children. What a failure of a man you are!”
“Daniel didn’t even answer but you already know that he hasn’t?” Louis looks at Stella with a
meaningful smile, “What kind of life he has lived in New York for the past three years, can you see that
too?”
Stella chuckles, “Looking at him, I can guess that it wasn’t that good!”
“Not necessarily!” Louis raises his eyebrows, “There were quite some young executives in the company
in New York who had a thing for him and often invited him out for dinner.”
He taps his chin thoughtfully and says, “I remember on a Christmas some years back, there was a
twenty-three-year-old Polish woman, an executive in his company, who invited him for dinner, and he
didn’t return home that night.”
Louis kicks Leigh under the table.
“Yeah! I also remember that!” Louis agrees hurriedly. He can’t do anything else but he is experienced in
these games and he understands what’s going on. Louis kicks him again and Leigh knows just what to
add.
He smiles and says, “She was so pretty. Big eyes, straight nose, killer body, enough to make people
lose their minds. But she resigned a month after that Christmas. Maybe it was because she found out
she was pregnant and ran away with Daniel’s child.”
“I think so too!” Louis agrees, “The child must be two years old now, right?”
“Should be.”
The two brothers are acting out their own play.
Daniel frowns and opens his mouth to say something. But before he can say anything, Stella, who is
sitting opposite to him, gets up sullenly. She picks up the glass of warm water in front of her and
splashes it in his face.
She smiles coldly, “Go to your Polish executive!”
She picks up her jacket and leaves.
“Wow! She is really fierce!” Leigh passes a tissue to Daniel. This is the first time he has seen Daniel
being splashed with water by someone, and yet Daniel doesn’t look angry at all.
“Are you both shitting us or is it really true?” Lily’s eyes widened, “Mr. Daniel, do you really have an
illegitimate child?”
“No.” Daniel replies, wiping the water off his face, “I am busy, unlike Leigh and Louis, I don’t have time
to go out and play around with women.”
Lily’s expressions change, “What do you mean?”
Daniel looks at Louis and sneers, “Do you know Dolores Moore, former executive of Smith Group’s
overseas department? She was transferred to New York this year and joined the Finance department
there. It was arranged by your honorable boss Mr. Louis Smith. On valentine’s day he spent a hundred
million to rent the entire Silver Bridge Club and spent the whole night there with her.”
“Oh!” Leigh exclaims, clearly wanting the world to burn in chaos, “So that’s why I couldn’t get hold of
him no matter how many times I called, because he went on a date.”
Louis’s expressions turn ugly, “Excuse…”
“Louis, you lying bastard!” Lily gets up angrily and curses at him, “What did you say? Never been near
women? Turns out your private life is already too rich with women.”
As she is about to leave, she spots lemonade on the table. She picks it up and splashes it on his face,
“You go back to your Dolores!”
Leigh quickly swerves to the side, avoiding the lemonade splash.
The surrounding guests look at them as the two men get splashed in a row.
Louis wipes his face and looks at Daniel helplessly, “Daniel, I was trying to help you! Is that how you
repay kindness? You also know the actual story of Silver Bridge Club.”
“When did I go to dinner with the senior executive on Christmas?” Daniel snaps back, “Her boyfriend
came to pick her up, and he was wearing the same scarf as me so you thought it was me!”
“Come on now, we are all brothers! Don’t quarrel.” Leigh passes a tissue to Louis, obviously gloating.
Daniel and Louis look upset.
Just then, Jessie comes back after answering the call. Seeing that Lily and Stella are gone, she asks,
“Where are they? Did they go to the ladies’ room?”
Seeing Daniel and Louis’s clothes still visibly wet around the collar, she is even more curious, “What
happened to you two?”
“They…”
As Leigh is about to answer, Louis grabs his hair again and buries his face deep into the spaghetti
again.
Daniel unlocks his phone with his thumb and hands it to Jessie.
