The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 123

Chapter 123

The waiters immediately agreed with Bella’s suggestion before both of them meticulously wiped the table and chairs clean for Scarlett, who was said to be prioritizing hygiene.

Moving around in her wheelchair, Bella came over to Victoria’s table and curled her lips. “Christian, do you mind if we add another table here?”

He didn’t respond and only cast a glance at Matthew.

“Forgive me, Miss Spritz.” Matthew pushed his glasses up as he shot her a smile and explained, “Today’s dinner is my treat, but I don’t feel like eating with strangers.”

Bella didn’t get mad at his answer and instead, she spoke with a soft tone. “I apologize for my rudeness. If you don’t feel like eating with strangers, I shouldn’t impose the idea on you. However, since I have the occasion to meet you, may I have the pleasure to make Mr. Buckley’s acquaintance?”

“Matthew Buckley.” Matthew stretched a hand out to her, the implication in his words obvious. “I’ve heard a lot about you, Miss Spritz.”

She chuckled as she held his hand. “The name’s Bella Spritz. Your name precedes you, Mr. Buckley. It’s too bad we’re only meeting each other until today.”

Watching the holding of hands with an intense gaze, Janice allowed her expression to fall and she harrumphed before she lowered her gaze and forcefully flipped the pages of the menu.

Meanwhile, Lucas was sitting at another table and his gaze fixed on Victoria.

Pretending not to notice him, she waited in anticipation for the waiter to serve her the order of twelve creamy garlic scallops. Then, she stood and “thoughtfully” distributed two scallops on each plate before Christian, Matthew, and Janice.

Victoria took a bite before turning to Christian and said, “The scallop tastes good, especially the garlic paste on it, which makes it taste even better. Mr. Thatcher, are you not trying it?”

Janice swallowed hard at the comment. After that, she took one of the scallops in front of her and tasted it. She nodded vigorously in agreement as the taste burst on her taste bud, and her eyes shone with excitement.

Christian threw a glance at the scallop before he grabbed one and took a bite. His expression remained neutral the whole time. “It’s not bad.”
