“Evander, just chase them out. Why must we eat together?” Olivine mumbled unwillingly as she yanked Evander’s arm, trying to pull him up.

“Get out if you don’t want to eat,” Evander warned dangerously with cold and malicious eyes. He didn’t care about Olivine’s pride at all.

Seeing Evander was in a bad mood, Olivine didn’t dare say anything else and sat down cautiously.

The tiny and exquisite table that was only meant for two was suddenly crowded with people.

Nevertheless, Jacob seemed pleased and conversed with Evander from time to time. Although he was constantly being rejected by the latter, he didn’t mind it at all.

Meanwhile, Angeline felt uncomfortable as she sat beside Evander. She massaged her aching temples, feeling like she was on the verge of breaking down.

Goodness gracious! How am I supposed to continue eating my meal, especially with Olivine sitting beside me and glaring at me viciously? It’s already a miracle that I haven’t puked.

Thus, she got up from her seat and excused herself to go to the restroom, fleeing the area.

After leaving the dining table, Angeline finally felt at ease. If I had known today’s situation would happen, I would never have accepted Jacob’s invitation!

Then, she took out her lipstick and freshened up her makeup. Just as she was about to exit the restroom, a tall figure appeared in front of her and blocked her view.

A chilling air hit Angeline in the face, sending goosebumps all over her arms.

She subconsciously tightened her grip on her purse when she saw Evander’s face. After freezing in place for a second, she spoke up. “Mr. Golding, this is the women’s restroom. The men’s restroom is over there—”

Before Angeline could finish her sentence, Evander grabbed hold of her wrist, causing her to feel a burning pain.

“Do you really think I will believe what you said at the dining table just now when he invited you to a candlelit dinner and addressed you so intimately?” Evander said gloomily while inching toward her until she was leaning against the wall.

Angeline knitted her brows slightly. I knew Evander wouldn’t let me off the hook so easily. “Mr. Golding, I didn’t lie to you. Jacob and I are really just partners working on the same film.”
