Predestined Bride

Summer was more confused, “What happened?”

She grabbed his arm and left the company, since it was not a suitable place to talk.

As Leonardo was tall, he could easily follow Summer. He walked out of the company with a relaxed expression.

“What happened?” Summer asked him again after leaving the Jarrett Group.

It was strange that “Douglas” came to her suddenly.

The man observed her carefully instead of answering her.

Summer had cried, and Leonardo found that her eyes were swollen and red.

Why did she cry?

He narrowed his eyes, failing to imagine how she would cry, especially when she was in the Jarrett Group.

Would she cry due to Lynn?

After a few seconds, Leonardo said, “I came here, for I passed by, and you should treat me to dinner.”

However, as “Douglas” had saved her, Summer would satisfy his demand as long as it was normal.

Summer took him to a restaurant far away from the company, where they wouldn’t encounter her colleagues.

In the restaurant, Summer could tell he was dissatisfied with it, although he remained silent.

In fact, Summer was able to understand him.

As being wealthy, he was used to going to Golden Cauldron Club, or somewhere else like it.

However, it was him who asked her to treat him. Although he didn’t like eating here, it was expensive for Summer.

Summer involuntarily touched her wallet with sadness.

When Leonardo noticed it, he couldn’t help smiling. He knew she was poor.

But it was funny to take advantage of her.

When the waiter came over, Summer asked “Douglas” to order, “Take a look at the menu.”

“Douglas” opened the menu and ordered three dishes soon.

Summer knew they were signature dishes of the restaurant, which must be expensive.

Ending up ordering a soup, he looked up at Summer and asked seriously, “Have I ordered too much?”

Summer shook her head and said, “No…”

She remembered when she had a meal with others and him at Golden Cauldron Club, they ordered a lot of dishes.

Leonardo nodded in agreement, “I’ll continue to order.”

Summer, “…”

Leonardo looked through the menu and frowned, “There’s nothing delicious.”

Then, he handed it to Summer.

Summer was simple. She thought it was enough to have three dishes and a soup for two people.

However, it was “Douglas” whom she had a meal with, so she ordered other two dishes and a dessert.

After finishing ordering, Summer stood up and went to the bathroom.

When she left, Leonardo called the waiter and paid the meal by card.

…

As soon as Summer went out of the bathroom, she saw Vicky.

As Vicky walked forward with her back to Summer, she didn’t see Summer.

Summer slowed her pace. She did not want Vicky to see her eating with Douglas, which would annoy her.

However, they went to the same direction. Summer could only follow her slowly…

Then, Vicky entered a private room.

Summer stopped at the door.

The private room in the restaurant was poorly soundproofed.

Summer could hear someone quarrelling inside.

It was Vicky, whose voice was sharp even at the door, “You can’t give the black card back to her!”

“No … the Jarrett Group … what do you want to do…?”

And it was Lynn. As he said in a low voice, Summer failed to hear him clearly.

Were they having a dispute over the black card?

Although it was less than twenty-four hours since the report of the factory, it was the second quarrel between Lynn and Vicky that Summer had heard.

It seemed that Vicky had been spoiled by Lynn. She was so selfish that she had a quarrel with Lynn instead of helping him when the Jarrett Group was in danger.

Vicky treated Lynn in a bad temper. How would she treat Karen in the future?

Summer felt complicated. But she would no longer care about Karen.

No matter what Karen would encounter in the future, she deserved it.

Even if Summer saved Karen with the black card, she was not moved at all and wanted to make use of Summer again.

Summer took a deep breath and calmed herself down before going back to have lunch.

The dishes had been served, but “Douglas” didn’t eat and looked at his phone.

When Summer went back, he looked up at her and put down his phone, saying, “I was about to call Tim.”

Summer was puzzled, “Why?”

“Douglas” said in a serious voice, “Ask him to save you from the bathroom.”

Summer, “…”

Twenty minutes had passed since she went to the bathroom.

As Summer didn’t reply, “Douglas” felt bored and stopped teasing her. He didn’t eat much as well.

When Summer was about to pay the bill, the waiter handed a card to her, “Your husband has paid them for you. It’s 680 yuan in total.”

“My husband?”

Summer didn’t realize the person the waiter had mentioned was the man beside her. And she thought of Leonardo.

She turned to “Douglas”, “Is your cousin here?”

“Douglas”, who was expressionless, became furious. He cast a glance at her and left soon.

A few seconds later, he walked out of the restaurant.

Leonardo could hardly stop himself from being angry with Summer, so he sped up.

The waiter realized that he had misunderstood their relationship and explained in a hurry, “Sorry, I thought he is your husband. It is him who paid the bill.”

Summer was astonished for a moment before she took the card and turned around.

When Summer went out of the restaurant, she saw him answering the phone not far away.
