Charlotte subconsciously took a step back and leaned against the wall. "Don't come any closer! Let's talk."

"If you didn't ask for his help, why would he help me?"

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Do you think Avery is as free as you?"

Charlotte felt really helpless. She had no choice but to explain the agreement between herself and Avery. "At first he said he needed my help so I agreed. I only realised he meant to exchange favours with me after. I didn't beg him at all."

What did she mean by that?

Was she saying it was all in his imagination?

Shane couldn't possibly admit that.

"Do you know how busy Avery is? He's the president of the Northern Airline Union. I don't think he'll speak on your behalf if you didn't beg him!"

"I..." Charlotte was speechless.

"What's wrong? Did I touch a sore spot?"

"You are so unreasonable!"

Shane sat down again and picked up the menu gracefully. Then, he called the waiter to order.

Charlotte froze on the spot like a statue.

Normally, anyone would've asked her to sit down and enjoy the food, even if it was reluctantly.

But Shane didn't. Instead, he just began to eat.

She took in the delicious aroma of the food and scrunched up her nose.

Shane ate elegantly and casually. Charlotte pursed her lips when she saw he was about to finish his meal.

"I'm done. You can continue standing." Shane picked up his coat and walked past her.

"You!"

"Don't worry. I'll pay the bill."

Charlotte was so annoyed by him.

Eat.

All he could think about is food?

She was already filled with anger, how could she eat?

Charlotte didn't know what she was thinking. Braden had dragged her all the way here, she hadn't even eaten anything and it would be difficult for her to get a ride at this hour.

She could only watch Shane get in the car and leave. She stared blankly at the ridehailing app on her phone which read "no available rides at this moment."

"Shane, what did I do to deserve this..." she muttered.

She waited again and again.

It was getting colder.
