His gaze burned a hole in her back.

Vera couldn't stand it anymore. She then just hid and worked in the kitchen.

Mabie felt that she was acting weird, so she made an excuse that she was going to the front to serve the dishes but was stopped by Vera.

"Mom, you are not allowed to go out. You can only stay here with me."

"What's that silly talk? I'm going out to serve the dishes. Move aside."

"No, I won't. You're just using that as an excuse. You must be going out there to look for someone."

Vera knew her mother too well. Anyway, she had decided not to have anything to do with him. It was better not to let Mabie know, let alone to meet him.

That was just to avoid any awkward situations in the future.

"Who said so? Who am I supposed to look for? Don't you see that the restaurant is so busy? I just want to go help."

Vera said with a bitter face, "The kitchen is also very busy. It's the same if you helped here."

No matter what Mabie said, Vera was unwilling to let her go. Until evening, Vera was still nestled in her seat after having dinner.

"Has that man left?"

She asked Sherry carefully.

She shook her head.

"He's still there. Vera, you really don't want to go out and have a look? He has been there all day and hasn't eaten anything yet, or..."

"No way!" Vera immediately interrupted her, "I know what you are thinking, but you can't do that! Understand?"

He simply starved for a day? She didn't eat for the whole day as well when she followed him to the banquet. What did she get in return?

Of course she wasn't going to be stupid. If he wanted to wait and not eat, let him be.

Vera knew that he must have come because of 60,000 dollars.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Vera couldn't stand to stay in the kitchen anymore. She was falling asleep sitting there.

"He hasn't left yet?" She asked.

"Yes," Sherry replied.

Vera was speechless.

Why hadn't he left?
