Chapter 43: He Was a Decent Human Being
Calix didn’t let Xander drag him somewhere far. Even though no one aside from him could see Leslie, he was slightly concerned about leaving her alone inside the lounge.
What if something happened when he was away? No one else could help her ah!
The two friends settled for an Italian restaurant not far from Xu International, Funfetti Italia Kitchen. Calix and Xander used to have meals there a few times before. Davin also joined them when he was free.
Because it was lunchtime, the restaurant was full of patrons. Most of the tables had been occupied by them.
But, the two young CEOs managed to find a table with a good spot. They sat by the windows facing the pedestrian walkways outside.
"I really want to get the truth out of you now," hissed Xander, sounding so dissatisfied. His eyes subtly looked around the restaurant, "You’re lucky that we’re here."
Some of the Xu International staff came here to have lunch as well. There were also employees from other nearby companies who recognized the two figures.
Both Xander and Calix noticed the subtle attention directed to their way by those people. Yet, they played ignorance as always. This was not a rare occurrence.
A chuckle slipped out Calix’s lips as they curled into a smirk. He calmly sliced the pizza on his plate while saying, "That’s why I told you to come here. Do you think I’ll give you a chance to interrogate me?"
If Xander successfully dragged Calix to someplace with private dining rooms, the latter understood full well he couldn’t easily escape his friend’s probing.
Xander wouldn’t openly shoot out personal questions if they were in public. That was not his style no matter how crazily persistent he could be.
