Chapter 165: Augustine and Denis’s meeting
Nathan sat frozen, stunned. He couldn’t reconcile the Anne he had met with the image Megan was painting. She hadn’t seemed like that at all. Still, Megan’s confidence in her accusations made him hesitate.
"Just stay away from her," Megan warned, clutching his hand tightly. "She’ll enchant you too if you are not careful."
Nathan forced a tight smile, choosing not to argue further. "Let’s not talk about her anymore. I don’t want your mood spoiled. Come on, let’s enjoy the food."
He pointed to the spread in front of them. "See? I ordered everything you love. Let’s eat."
Though still simmering with anger, Megan softened slightly. She liked being the center of attention. With a pout turning into a pleased smile, she nodded and picked up her chopsticks.
Outside the room...
Audrey fumed, her face red in anger. "She just ruined the mood. Such an arrogant, pathetic bitch. I wanted to smack her on the face."
"Leave it, Audrey," Anne said with a shrug. "Let’s get out of here first. How about we explore the street food like earlier?"
Her words brought a smile back to Audrey. "That’s a good idea. I want something spicy. Let’s go." She led her out of the restaurant with a bounce in her steps.
Anne and Audrey stopped by a crowded street vendor in the heart of the city, where the irresistible aroma of sizzling oil, crushed spices, and smoky grilled meat filled the air. The narrow street was alive with color and chaos—blaring horns, chattering locals, neon signs flickering above steaming food stalls.
Anne and Audrey stood shoulder to shoulder at their favorite dim sum cart.
