Chapter 225: Beware of the danger signs
"Uhmm..." Paula darted her eyes between Heaven and Primo, wiping the corner of her mouth with the napkin. The other two glanced at her, curious at the reluctance in her eyes. "I’m sorry, but I have to take this important call."
Primo smiled amicably. "No problem, Miss Shen. Please take your time."
"Heaven."
"It’s okay, Paula." Heaven sported a short smile.
Paula bit her bottom lips as the reluctance in her eyes glowed. It was obvious she didn’t want to leave Heaven and Primo alone, afraid Heaven would say anything or simply seduce Primo. However, her manager was calling despite knowing Paula was on a date. It only meant there was something important for her manager to interrupt her.
"I’ll just be around the corner," she said, keeping her eyes on Heaven as if to tell the latter she was watching.
Heaven and Primo nodded in understanding, watching her walk away with her phone. Paula didn’t go far. She just stood in the corner, enough for the two to see her presence but not hear whatever discussion she would have.
Meanwhile, as Paula walked away, Primo slowly set his eyes back to Heaven. He maintained his amicable smile, watching Heaven look back at him.
"How do you like the food, Miss Liu?" asked Primo, striking up a conversation with her because the two of them stopped talking during the meal. His eyes fell on Heaven’s plate, which she barely touched. "You didn’t touch your food that much. I suppose you don’t like it?"
