All Her Secrets

Chapter 1006 Misunderstanding

But nothing happened in the next few days. The brand didn't even ask Audrey to dinner. Kim got some pros to look into it, but they found nothing.

"Isn't it weird, Audrey, how some rich folks just give away millions of dollars worth of jewelry?" asked Kim. How it felt like being that rich was beyond his imagination, though.

Audrey looked at Kim helplessly. "Well, I don't know."

Kim thought for a while and asked, "Could it be Triston? People capable of this can be counted with one hand in Casier."

Audrey paused. For a moment, she almost thought it was Triston, too. But it was so not him, given he always kept a high profile.

Although she had to admit he had changed a lot recently. So, it could be him.

Kim poked her after moments of silence. 'No way! Is it really him?"

Audrey shook her head. "I have no clues. But I'll take care of this." Her head ached at the thought of this.

Seeing her frowning pensively, Kim left her alone.

All she could think about was the free jewelry, which she couldn't allow herself to take without knowing the truth. She had to find out why.

"Kim, I'm heading out." She put on her hat and a mask and left.

Triston was surprised to get a call from Audrey. He went to the coffee shop Audrey said in a mall downtown. It took him a while to locate this place.

He walked directly to the booth and knocked, ignoring all the attention on him.

Audrey put on the mask and said, "Come in." She only took off the mask after he closed the door.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Triston couldn't help but tease her. "It must feel awful to go out as a superstar, wrapping up like a mummy." Audrey just glared at him.

Triton tried to find something to say. "I was surprised you should ask me out."

Audrey looked at him and asked, "Have you heard of a jewelry brand called Iris?"

Triston thought for a moment and winced. "No. Why? Are you working with them?"

Audrey could tell he was not lying from his reaction. Then, he had nothing to do with the jewelry cause he didn't even know about it. Who else could it be? Audrey was out of guesses. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

Triston noticed her unusual expression and asked, "Anything wrong? Do you need my help?"

Audrey shook her head. "Nothing. I'm advertising for this brand. Thought you might know its background."

"So you just want a coffee with me today?" Triston pointed at the hot Americano Audrey ordered for him before he got there. Triston liked cooled-off hot Americano and felt happy because Audrey still remembered that.

Since Triston had nothing to do with the jewelry, Audrey didn't want him to know about it. "Oh, yeah. I haven't had time to thank you for helping me out last time till today."

Triston was stunned, his eyes dimming instantly.

Audrey quickly noticed it and tried to say something to save the vibe.

But Tristan soon lifted his head and smiled at Audrey, looking perfectly normal. "Come on, babe, I saved your ass. A coffee is not enough. The dinner's on you."

Audrey snorted, feeling relieved. It felt less embarrassing now. "Fine, you smartass. You'll pick the restaurant."

They stayed at the coffee shop and talked until dinner time. Audrey put on her mask again, left the booth, and walked alongside Triston. Triston and a mysterious girl caught everyone's attention at the coffee shop. Someone secretly took a picture of them without Tristan noticing.

They drove to the restaurant they used to go to. It was members-only and had private booths.

Audrey took off her hat and mask, feeling great to breathe freely. "This is the best place. I don't have to eat with everyone's eyes on me."

A woman came for a chat with Triston after they ordered their food. "Mr. Lambert, Hi! I haven't seen you in a long time. What have you been up to?"

Triston noticed Audrey's darkened face and ended the conversation hastily. Another woman came right after the first one was gone. Triston felt highly awkward, considering his previous reputation.

He absent-mindedly responded to that woman and secretly glanced at Audrey, only to find her eating calmly. She didn't seem bothered at all, which upset him a little.

The delicious food became tasteless in Audrey's mouth. She couldn't bear to watch anymore and stood up when the third woman came. "I think I'm done eating. I should better be going." And she left,

Triston chased after her immediately, leaving behind whoever he was talking to. He was fast and stopped her before she was gone, grabbing her wrist. "At least let me send you home, Audrey."

"No need of that. You really should get back to your lady friends in there." She looked at him coldly, her voice so frosty and firm, as if she had made up her mind.

Triston didn't want to make her angrier, so he let go of her. "Fine. You probably don't want to see me now. But let my driver send you home, please?"

God bless the two stubborn fools in love!

Audrey had no choice but to nod.

After she left, Triston kicked the tree aside painfully, leaves falling like rain.
