The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge

Chapter 309

Simms wore the smug expression of a man used to getting his way, and he'd gone out of his way to make sure Yulia looked every bit the society lady-her elegant outfit and expensive jewelry the perfect complement to his own image.

As soon as they appeared at the restaurant entrance, the manager hurried over to greet them.

"Good afternoon, sir. Do you have a reservation?"

Simms replied coolly, "The private room under Mr. Langford's name."

The manager hesitated, frowning in confusion. "Mr. Langford? Which Mr. Langford?"

Yulia linked arms with Simms and interjected with a gentle smile, "I know where Violet is. Let's go."

Simms' face darkened with irritation. This manager clearly didn't know his place. Simms made a mental note to speak to the restaurant owner-someone would be looking for a new job soon.

Yulia led Simms gracefully into the private dining room. Inside, only Violet sat waiting.

"McNeil isn't here yet?" Simms asked, scanning the room.

Violet's face fell immediately, but Yulia was quick to smooth things over. "Violet rarely has time to bring us together for a meal. Mr. Langford's busy, and if he couldn't make it, that's fine. There'll be plenty of chances."
