Tangled Temptations

Chapter 140

Chapter 131

Landon picked a pretty decent Italian joint.

Eloise rolled up there right on time at eight. Landon was waiting for her in the parking lot. As soon as she parked, he smoothly opened the car door for her. "Gee, getting you out for dinner wasn't easy."

As Eloise got out of the car, she leaned on the door and smiled, "Just the other day, I was at your place teaching Blake piano. Attorney Bowen invited me to stay for dinner. You just weren't there."

Landon was all eyes on her. Then he said slowly, "You know what I want isn't just that."

Eloise hesitated a bit, but decided to be straight with him. "Landon, you know my deal. You and I, it's not gonna work."

Landon kept his gaze on her. The atmosphere got a bit tense. It was the first time Eloise felt such a strong masculine vibe radiating from Landon. Even though he didn't do anything, she still felt the pressure.

Suddenly, Landon broke into a relaxed smile. "Wow, you're so tense just for a dinner. I'll be scared to invite you next time," he said softly, trying to calm her down. "This is just a dinner to celebrate your career success."

Landon was quite a funny guy. Eloise couldn't help but laugh.

She closed the car door and walked side by side with Landon into the restaurant. Landon had booked a table in advance. Unfortunately, Harvey happened to be there too. He was dining with a lady in her fifties. She was very respectful in her speech and manner. She seemed to be an old acquaintance.

Landon knew her as well and briefly said hello.

Harvey looked up, first at Landon, then slowly turned his gaze to Eloise. Eloise wished she could hide somewhere.

Harvey picked up his napkin and casually said, "Ms. Laurent, living alone with no strings attached, you should have an easy time finding a boyfriend."

Landon raised his eyebrows. How ironic!

Holding the back of Harvey's chair, he said with a smile, "Harvey also lives alone. He should have an easy time too."

Harvey's eyes narrowed a bit.
