Chapter 217 You Never Liked Liam Before

After Erik left, all the delicious food on the table was left for Imogen and Grace.

Imogen felt a little relieved, glad that she didn’t have to face Erik anymore.

Grace was also very happy, happily eating her meat.

Her mouth was oily, and her hands were covered in shrimp juice from peeling the shrimp. She looked up at Imogen and said, “Isn’t it lunchtime? He’s so busy.”

“He needs to work and earn money,” Imogen replied.

“But he doesn’t have time to accompany you. Don’t you feel lonely? My uncle is rich and has time…”

Imogen stuffed a big shrimp into her mouth. “You can’t stop talking while eating.”

Grace took the shrimp out of her mouth and said quietly, “That’s how it is.”

“You’re enjoying a fancy meal treated by him…”

“My heart is with my uncle,” Grace said seriously, “It’s just one meal. How can he buy me with that? This pork chop is so delicious!”

Imogen was speechless.

After about twenty minutes, Imogen opened her phone and sent a message to Erik: [Have you arrived at the company? After you’re done with work, don’t forget to eat something. Nicolas won’t be so strict.]

She had to play the act fully.

It took a long time for Erik to reply: [Just saw it, thanks for reminding me.]

Erik: [I’m really sorry today. I didn’t expect to have sudden work.]

Imogen comforted: [It’s okay, unexpected things happen. We’ll have a meal together when we have time.]

Erik: [Are you free this Saturday?]

Imogen guessed what he meant and replied: [Yes.]

Erik: [Can I treat you to a meal at noon that day?]

Imogen agreed.

Erik sent a message attached with a happy emoji: [Great, see you on Saturday.]

Imogen: [See you on Saturday.]

Grace, who was busy eating, noticed Imogen playing with her phone. Grace looked up and pouted. “Hmph.”

Imogen glanced at her and pinched her pouting face, asking, “What’s wrong?”

“I want to go with you for the meal on Saturday,” Grace said firmly, looking up with her determined little face.
