Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 117

Chapter 116

Brandon wasted no time and found the nearest restaurant. Considering the late hour and safety concerns, he naturally chose one of then own establishments.

He had already informed the restaurant manager in advance, so as soon as their car pulled up, the manager hurried over, smiling as te opened the doors for them.

He said, “Mr. Wade, Miss Jennings, the food is ready. Please follow me.”

Not a single word was wasted. Everyone was laser–focused on making sure Briar could eat as soon as possible.

When Briar sat down at the table with Ashton, she was totally floored by the sight of all the steaming hot dishes spread out before fier.

She knew that with just a word from Ashton, his people would do whatever it took to get things done.

However, it truly puzzled her how such a big feast could be prepared in just twenty minutes.

The restaurant manager, catching her bewilderment, grinned and said, “Miss Jennings, is there anything else you’d like to eat?

“Don’t worry, even if our kitchen can’t whip it up in time, we can always snatch some from the restaurants next door.”

Briar was speechless. “Snatch? So, all these dishes were snatched?”

The manager lifted his chin proudly. “That’s right!”

Briar was at a loss for words.

While they were talking, Ashton was already carefully filling Briar’s plate with food and ladling her a small bowl of chicken soup. “Drink some chicken soup first, it’ll warm you up.”

The restaurant manager, being tactful, slipped away with a cheerful grin.

Brandon sat across from them, watching how ridiculously attentive Ashton was to Briar.

He couldn’t help but think, ‘Man, the boss must be drowning in guilt right now.’

Ashton really was feeling guilty.

If he’d known Briar would get so anxious over what happened last night that she’d hole up at home alt day without eating, he would’ve dropped everything and dragged her out for a meal earlier.
