Chapter 238: I’ll give you two choices now
Thomas and Freddie, who had been poked in the foot, glanced at each other and just entered the box, Thomas called out to Filip: “Filip, Dillon has a suggestion for you to mention.”
Filip just poured a cup of tea for Starry, heard Thomas say this, and looked up towards Dillon who walked in the door.
His eyebrows did not see half a color, “What opinion?”
Dillon took his seat: “Don’t listen to him! I didn’t say anything!”
Not wanting him to say anything, Freddie opened his mouth, “Told you.”
Starry looked at the three of them and found it quite interesting and couldn’t help but ask, “What did Mr. Baxter say?”
Thomas glanced at Dillon: “And did not say anything, he just think Filip are more than thirty years old, a relationship, there is no need to be like a young man, holding hands everywhere.”
As soon as these words came out, Starry regretted his talkative nature.
Filip lifted his head and looked straight at Dillon.
Dillon hastened to deny it: “I never said that! This is a deliberate retaliation by the two of them! I just said at the door that the two of them couldn’t fall in love because they couldn’t chase anyone, and they held a grudge!”
Filip turned the tea directly to Dillon: “Have some tea.”
Dillon was relieved to see that Filip didn’t seem to have any intention of settling the score, and just picked up his cup of tea, which was so hot that he only huffed.
Dillon subconsciously tried to put the teacup back, but Filip had already turned the tea tray away.
“…”
Come on, Filip still believes it.
Dillon’s hands were burning red as he put down his teacup, and he rubbed his ears, “Not so much.”
Filip slanted a look at him, and Dillon made a quick motion to shut up.
Forget it, he better not say it, it is simply to say more wrong ah.
Filip is not a talkative person, and Starry is not one to engage in conversation.
But several people here are quite familiar with each other, know each other for six or seven years, plus Dillon’s mouth that likes to bla bla bla, the atmosphere at the table is not awkward.
A meal, we still eat quite cordial.
But Lucia and Grant are not so friendly, she was hit by Starry one after another today, and the dinner is not very interesting.
So just after eating, Lucia asked Grant to go back first and they would meet again some other time.
Grant looked at her, sitting on the card table, did not move a bit, lightly tsked, eyes on Lucia looked up and down: “Miss Scott, I have been playing with you all day, out of courtesy, you have to accompany me, right?”
He saw this afternoon, Filip and Starry relationship between the two is not simple.
When he thought that Lucia had tried to set him up in the first place, Grant had a fire in his heart.
Originally, watching Lucia make a fool of herself this afternoon, he had a lot of fire to dissipate.
Lucia can’t behave, and she ate a good dinner with a sour face.
He is not the one who offended her, the Scott family is also begging them the McKnight family, Lucia is out today, to be frank, is trying to sell a good price in his place.
This out of the sale of people, but also want to give the buyer to make a face, this will not say it is not?
What’s more, Grant has never been one to give in to himself.
He is a man who can stretch very much, and he did not dare to say anything excessive to Filip in the afternoon.
But just because he can bend and stretch doesn’t mean he’s a master of being willing to take the heat.
Lucia doesn’t know any better, then he doesn’t want to give her face.
She wanted to be a bitch and make a name for herself, so he ripped her cover off.
He has done a lot of humiliating things, Grant.
But so what?
The people inside the circle, not as good as he has to kneel to lick him, even if the back of the mockery of him, so what, as long as not to say to him, he will be as if he had not heard.
I have to say, Grant this person is still quite interesting, he has his own way, smooth but not flattering, arrogant but not to the point of holding the strong over the weak.
Before this dinner he was happy to give Lucia some face, but after dinner, he didn’t want to give it.
Now torn face, he is not afraid to make a scene here in the restaurant.
So what he asked was almost blatantly blunt.
Lucia’s face changed, her hand squeezing her bag tightly, and she looked at Grant with a cold look on her face: “Mr. McKnight what do you mean by that? We have played all day today, I feel tired and just want to go home early to rest.”
“Miss Scott is indeed tired, you haven’t been a human being all day today, if you’re not tired, who is.”
Lucia’s face turned red: “Grant, don’t go too far! I just said we’ll meet again some other time, why don’t you have any gentlemanly manners?”
“My gentlemanliness is also to people, and to Miss Bradley I’m quite a gentleman. But with you, I’m sorry, I don’t think you need to be a gentleman.”
“In that case, then I don’t think we two are suitable either, so there’s no need for contact next.”
Lucia said, turned to leave, but Grant snickered: “Okay, then it seems that the McKnight family and the Scott family is not very suitable to cooperate, the next matter, also do not need to contact.”
The words directly pinched Lucia’s lifeline, her whole person paused there, looking at Grant, the expression on his face is very unpleasant.
But thinking about the recent events of the Scott family, Lucia finally pushed her temper down: “Sorry, Mr. McKnight, I’m not in a good mood today, I may have offended you.”
She lifted her leg and sat back down again, and opened her mouth to apologize.
Grant took out his lighter and lit the fire, “If you had just left, I would still think highly of you, you stay now, it really makes me lose interest.”
After saying that, Grant put the lighter back and got up: “I’m giving you two choices now, either go now or come with me.”
He said, smiled a little and took out a cigarette but didn’t light it right away, “I’ll wait for you in the car, Miss Scott, five minutes, I’m not very patient, Miss Scott.”
Grant finished speaking and simply lifted his leg and left.
He took out his lighter and just outside the door of the restaurant, he looked down and lit his cigarette.
The sports car was parked in front and Grant walked over to it.
It was already dark at seven o’clock, and Grant got into the car, the sparks of his cigarette very conspicuous in the darkness.
After just two puffs of his cigarette, he saw Lucia coming out of the restaurant.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Lucia walks out of the restaurant and stands in the doorway, looking over in Grant’s direction.
Grant is inside the car with a cigarette in his hand, also looking at her.
Enough humiliation for today. If the Scott family hadn’t fallen out with the Pearson family, she would have thrown red wine in Grant’s face when he said his second sentence.
But there is no if, the Pearson family and the Scott family fell out, the Scott family is now like a trapped beast, no one dares to reach out.
The McKnight family is just as profitable to them as the Scott family is to them, but how much profit, this is also a place to argue.
But there are some things that can’t be argued with reason.
Lucia closed her eyes, lifted her leg and walked over.
