Chapter 258 I Can Please You Too

Connor looked up, offering her a polite nod and a smile. "Ms. Schmidt, what a coincidence."

Madison returned the nod, deliberately ignoring Lenora seated beside him. In a soft tone, she said. "I didn't expect to see you here. I just came to unwind with a friend." "We're having a team-building event here," Connor said.

"By the way, thank you for sending me back to the hotel the other night. How's your injury? Are you feeling better?"

Connor glanced at Lenora, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I'm doing much better now What about you? Have you logged a police report!"

Lenora paused mid-bite, her gaze shifting curiously between Connor and Madison. He tent her back to the hotel

"I've given my statement. I can't thank you enough. You have no idea how scared I was back then. If it weren't for you, I might have... I really don't know how to express my gratitude." Madison's eyes, brimming with emotion, locked onto Connor's. Lenora could tell, Madison was interested in him.

"Don't mention it. It was no trouble at all." Connor gestured toward Lenora, seated across from him. "By the way, let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Lenora. Lenora, this is Ms. Schmidt."

Lenora gave Madison a polite nod. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Schmidt."

Madison raised her brows as if just noticing her. "Oh, hello, Ms. Wilkin. So, you're Connor's girlfriend. I thought you were his older sister."

"You're not wrong, Lenora replied calmly. "I'm a few years older than him."

Madison chuckled: "A more mature partner only makes the relationship better." With a playful wave at Connor, she added, "Well, I'd better get going. Enjoy your meal."

As Madison walked away, she mused to herself that even though Lenora was not particularly photogenic. she was far more beautiful in person. No wonder Mr. Fuller is so reluctant to let her go that he'd resort to underhanded tactics. Lenora watched Madison's retreating figure and then shifted her attention back to her meal.

As she ate, a thought occurred to her that she was being too composed. Even if Madison's presence did not make her jealous, she should at least show some concern for Connor.

After a moment, she asked gently, "Were you injured a few days ago?"

As expected, Connor appreciated the gesture, smiling warmly. "Getting punched a couple of times by some punks isn't a big deal."

Lenora pieced together the truth and advised, "Be careful the next time you play the hero. I'll worry about you."
