Chapter 197 Japanese Restaurant
After a short wait, a waiter walked in with several plates of dishes.
“Mr. Byron, your food is ready.”
Only then did Amelie put down her phone, looking at the plates on the table, she really had some appetite.
Fortunately, it is a trained chef, and the taste can be seen from the appearance.
“It looks good.”
Amelie couldn’t help but praise then picked up the fork and started eating.
Seeing her satisfied expression, Lamont’s mood improved a bit.
Seeing her happy, Lamont felt happy too.
Half an hour passed, and they had almost eaten.
Amelie wiped her mouth, took out the mirror in her bag, and began to powder her nose.
These days in the ward, it is really difficult to eat such delicious meals.
“Your friend’s cooking skills are wonderful, Mr. Byron, your friend is quite secretive.”
Lamont just smiled and didn’t speak. He also put down the fork in his hand and wiped his mouth.
“Amelie, there is something I want to tell you.” Lamont’s eyes fell on Amelie who was sitting in front of him and playing with her mobile phone.
He has kept some words in his heart for a long time, and today he wants to say them all at once, not only to clear up the misunderstanding between them but also to discuss them with Amelie so that they can make cooperation and mutual benefits.
“Mr. Byron, you know, I don’t want to be with you…”
“My mother has already told me some things.” Lamont knew what she wanted to say, so he interrupted her directly.
Only then did Amelie raise her eyes and look at the man in front of him seriously.
“So what, I know what she would tell you, but that’s all in the past. I don’t want to mention the things between us now. Please don’t get stuck in the past again, Mr. Byron.”
Amelie’s cold tone hit Lamont’s heart hard again.
When he was about to say something, the door suddenly opened.
It was his friend who entered.
He had already taken off his chef’s clothes and was wearing a black suit. From a chef to a businessman, he was able to change
easily.
Amelie withdrew her eyes and looked at her phone, trying to cover up the unpleasant conversation between them just now.
“Looking at the time, I thought you should have finished eating, so I came to sit with you.”
The man said with a smile, then put the two boxes on the table, and placed them in front of Lamont and Amelie respectively.
“What’s this?”
“Peach Blossom Brew…”
Peach Blossom Brew?
After hearing this, Amelie immediately looked at the box in front of her. Curiously, she stretched out her hand to open it carefully.
There was a small jug lying inside.
“Why are you willing to give me precious peach blossoms?” Lamont teased, but there was an unconcealable smile on the
corner of his mouth.
“Don’t say that, Mr. Byron. It seems that I am too stingy and never willing to share good things. It is really wrong. ”
Amelie didn’t understand the conversation between them. She glanced at her mobile phone. It was getting late. She planned to go to the villa in the suburbs to see her family in the afternoon. It was time to start.
She thought about it, and just when she was about to speak, Lamont suddenly looked at herself.
“There is a business to come to you, and how about the investigation?”
Suddenly speaking of such words, Amelie was confused by the words, and she quickly looked at the man in front of her.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already found out the clues, and the waiter will give you all the information soon.”
The man responded flatly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“What are you talking about? What are you investigating?” Amelie was a little curious and then realized that she had been kept in the dark about something.
“This is not only my friend but also my partner. He has Japanese restaurants all over the country. Not only restaurants but also intelligence bases. He is in this business. Some news can be obtained through him, and without much effort.”
Lamont briefly introduced the identity of the man.
“So he’s…”
“Ms. Mullen, my name is Willie.”
Willie introduced himself, then stretched out his hand, ready to shake hands with Amelie.
“You said you were collecting intelligence, is this behavior okay?”
“Of course, Ms. Mullen, don’t think too much about whether we have broken the law. All we collect is business intelligence, and we also make some investments, purely to strengthen the company. It’s not as mysterious as what Lamont said. We are law–abiding citizens.”
Willie quickly explained, and even adjusted his collar,
Only then did Amelie feel relieved.
“Then what you just said that something has been investigated?”
At the same time, Leila was still in the ward, frowning.
It’s been a few days, and she can hardly remember.
She thought she could use suicide to tie Lamont, but what she didn’t expect was that he turned a blind eye and didn’t take her seriously at all.
Now She got nothing left.
She glanced at the men guarding the door, thinking about how to sneak out.
She couldn’t sit here and wait for death, she wanted to see Lamont as soon as possible. And the reason she came back this time was to be able to marry him as soon as possible.
She tiptoed out of bed and went to the window.
Looking outside, she was on the top floor, which was too high.
She dismissed the idea in her mind.
Turning around slowly, she was pacing back and forth in the ward.
She was wearing a large hospital gown, her hair was draped, and her face was still a little pale.
Right at this moment, a voice came from the door.
She was startled, and immediately went back to the hospital bed, pretending nothing happened, and closed her eyes.
Soon, a nurse came in pushing a cart.
“It’s really strange. What’s wrong with this woman? There are still people watching over her. This rich man’s world is really
interesting.”
The little nurse muttered in a low voice, without stopping the movement of her hands. She came to Leila’s side with the things
ready for infusion.
Just as she was about to make a move, Leila opened her
eyes.
“So, do you want to investigate what Willard will do next?” After listening to Willie’s narration, Amelie probably understood their purpose.
Although Willard’s purpose was very simple, he wanted to annex all those who stand in his way of making money. But he had always been ruthless, and there must be other behaviors that we haven’t encountered yet.
“Yes, now that the Mullen family has gone bankrupt, he will naturally set his sights on the Springer family. The Springer family is nothing to fear from Willard, so if he wants to resist, he may not be able to resist for long.”
Willie analyzed.
Amelie had thought about all these things, but she didn’t say anything.
Lamont looked at the woman in front of him seriously. He stretched out his hand, and gently grabbed her.
