The Silent Wife

Chapter 99

“Hello, miss. Do you have a reservation?” the waltress at the entrance asked.

Rachel communicated in sign language, and the waitress was at a loss of what to do. Thus, she peered into the restaurant, trying to locate Justin.

“Miss Rachel, over here!” A crisp, clear voice came from a table next to the windows, and it was Gloria waving her hand at Rachel. She was dressed in a pale yellow dress with her hair down around her

shoulders, and her smile was refreshing and warm.

Rachel felt her heart drop, and her grip on her handbag tightened without her realizing. The seat was at the table next to the window, and the view outside was the bright lights of the city.

Why are you here?

“Justin is making a call right there,” Gloria explained, pointing to the outdoor dining area.

Through the French windows, Rachel saw his tall figure with his back facing the restaurant while he spoke into the phone, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

“What would you like to eat, Miss Rachel? We placed our orders earlier, but you should take a look as well,” Gloria said, pushing the menu to her. Rachel only managed to glance at the menu when Gloria added, “Why don’t you try this, Miss Rachel? I think it’s not bad, and this dessert as well. I ordered one earlier. Would you like one as well?”

Rachel froze for a moment and decided to stop flipping the menu, pushing it away. You can decide.

“I hope you won’t mind that I’m joining you guys for dinner.”

Curling the edge of her lips, Rachel forced a smile. I don’t mind. We’re here to discuss work, anyway.

“Actually, it was only both of you having dinner together tonight, but I asked if I could join when we were getting off from work, and Justin agreed to let me tag along.”

Narrowing her eyes, Rachel could clearly feel a trace of pressure.

“For a business marriage like yours, actually you have no relationship to speak about besides business, right?”
