Chapter 356: Wrong Date? II

Did I just conjure up the devil? Athena wondered, jaw slackened as she watched the crew—six, as far as she was concerned, was a plenteous amount—settle in one of the VIP tables without noticing her, amidst all the fuss going about.

Especially Ewan... didn’t notice her.

Was the alignment she had imagined between her and Ewan a scam? A figment of her imagination? Something she had been hoping to be true at all costs?

She watched still, as waiters scurried over to serve them. But why not? Those three fools were the top eligible bachelors in the city at the moment, alongside Antonio.

"You haven’t watched to your fill yet? Do you want to join them?" Words spoken in a voice tainted with resentment and jealousy.

She didn’t blame her date. "Sorry about that, I was just surprised."

"About the women they are carrying about or about their presence here?"

Athena met Antonio’s blank gaze. "About their presence here. I thought they would be busy with one business management or the other."

Antonio shrugged, taking a spoon of ice cream to his mouth. "This is the weekend. You shouldn’t be surprised at all. A man isn’t expected to work all the days of his life."

"That’s right," Athena muttered, but she couldn’t bring herself to eat the ice cream before her.

This date was turning for the worse.

To her chagrin, she felt the need to escape into her room in the Thorne’s mansion, maybe even her house back in the skyscraper.

But seeing as her grandparents recently found her, she didn’t think she would be going back to that apartment anytime soon.

Maybe she should rent it out? Or let Gianna have it? The latter had always loved the heights.
