The Barrister's Love in Town

Chapter 93 A Test

The possibility occurred in Amanda’s mind and gave her goosebumps. She couldn’t help a shiver.

If my guesses are right, then Grace is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Why did Grace do that? Did she do it for Elias” attention? Is she trying to turn his head?

Lost in her thoughts, she wasn’t aware that the soup boiled over.

Simon heard the noise over the call, so he spoke up to remind her. “Amanda, are you watching the pot? I can hear it boiling over.

His reminder snapped her out of her trance. “Ah! I’ve got to go. I almost ruined my food. Bye.”

After hanging up the call, she turned off the stove and added some cold water to the pot before pouring the noodles into a plate. However, her food was ruined and no longer edible,

She had long lost the mood to make another meal for herself after the call. Besides, it was almost time to meet up with her client.

Therefore, she returned upstairs to change her clothes and put on some light makeup. After pac her things, she left home for the meeting place.

Amanda was meeting up with the client in Brownie Cafe.

She arrived early at the cafe. She chose somewhere conspicuous to sit so the client could see her amon the guests.

“Miss Bailey?” The arrival of her client interrupted her thoughts.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Amanda. Please take a seat.” She had no choice but to withdraw her gaze and focus on her work.

She spent the next hour talking to her client, not paying attention to what Grace was doing in the corner.
