Chapter 266
After I hung up the call, I got changed into a set of winter clothing and departed. By the time I reached the venue, Stacey was already there.
She put on an old-fashioned cashmere jacket and wrapped herself up. In order to conceal the bruises on her face, she had applied light make-up, yet they were still visible because she was heavily bruised.
“Why didn’t you wait for me inside? It’s cold outside.” I couldn’t help but ask when I caught her shivering while waiting for me outside of Bridge’s Court.
“I-I have been waiting for you!” She responded with a sheepish grin, yet it could barely conceal the fact she had been having it tough. I decided to stop poking my nose into her business.
Bridge’s Court wasn’t the most premium eatery in town. A meal or two at Bridge’s Court wouldn’t take a toll on her financially at all because she had considerably high pay while she was affiliated with Fuller Corporation back in the day.
However, she was nowhere close to her prime anymore.
I wasn’t aware of her actual condition, but even if Felix mistreated her or she was jobless, she shouldn’t end up so miserable because she was a capable woman.
After we made our way into Bridge’s Court and placed our orders, we returned to our seats. She attempted to tell me the things she had in mind a few times, but she couldn’t do it.
