Chapter 144
When I noticed the girl was missing from his side, I inquired curiously, “Where‘s your girlfriend?”
“She‘s not my girlfriend.”
Not a curious cat, I stopped asking him about it.,
I then followed him to a steakhouse. Right at the entrance, he paused and worriedly cast me a look. Then, he suggested, “Let‘s go to another restaurant.”
At the start, I did not spot anything unusual. However, when I saw his grim look, I peeked into the restaurant.
It was then I saw Ashton by the window seat. He was in a casual suit, and he was elegantly cutting the steak on his plate. In front of him, surprisingly, was not Rebecca. Instead, it was another woman I had seen twice in the past. Although I was unfamiliar with her, I could still recognize who it was.
It was Caleb‘s niece, Kristina.
They‘re both eating steak here?The president and his secretary?
“Let‘s go to another restaurant.” I was not avoiding him, but it would be awkward for me to encounter him here.
Nick nodded. After a pause, he looked at me again. “They look close. Aren‘t you going to ask him about it?”
Confused, I stared back at him and asked, “Ask what?”
