Chapter 33 Is It That Funny?
Christopher gave him a nonchalant look and sat down with the young woman he came with. And of course, they had to be seated directly opposite Yuliana – the place that would immediately enter her field of vision every time she looked up.
Raymond let out a light chuckle before turning to Yuliana and Xandria. “Ms. Livingstone, Ms. Yeager, do you mind two more people joining us here?”
Xandria’s appetite was long gone, as the two people she hated the most were right in front of her. Just as she was about to speak, Yuliana subtly pressed down on her hand under the table. Confused, Xandria cast a glance at her friend.
All Yuliana said to Raymond was, “Sure, no problem.”
She didn’t say that just for Xandria’s sake, but also because she remembered the unpleasant times she had with Christopher. It would be troublesome if they angered Christopher and made a scene in the restaurant. Christopher gave Yuliana a sideway glance after hearing her words and then looked away.
“Glad you don’t mind.” Raymond grinned and shifted his focus to the young woman beside Christopher. “And what, pray tell, is the name of this gorgeous young lady?”
The girl smiled sweetly. “Just call me Izzy.”
Raymond took a sip of tea and continued asked, “So how exactly did Chris meet you, Izzy Sweetie?”
“We met at a bar just a few days ago,” replied Izzy.
Xandria clicked her tongue as soon as she heard that. The sound was just loud enough to attract everyone’s attention.
As Christopher fiddled with his phone, he gave Xandria a bland look. “Why’d you do that?”
Xandria gave him a razor-sharp smile and said, “Oh, so now I can’t even use my own mouth as I please? Mr. Solace is just way too nice!”
Christopher lifted the corners of his lips, giving the impression that he was smiling. Yet, his eyes were cold and hard, giving a sense of oppression to the one he was staring at.
