Chapter 134
Lila's eyes flickered slightly, and her steps unconsciously came to a halt.
When Ethan noticed she'd stopped moving, he followed her gaze and looked over. Catching sight of the person inside, he was a bit surprised, "Your boss eats here too? That girl? Is she his girlfriend?"
Lila snapped back to reality and smiled bitterly, "I don't know."
After saying that, she looked at him and added, "Are your parents in the next room? Should we go in?"
Seeing her smile at him, Ethan was as happy as if he didn't have a care in the world. He quickly nodded and gentlemanly raised his hand to gesture for her to go first, "This way, it's right here."
Lila lifted her foot to walk.
At that moment, in private room number five, as Julie was speaking, Alexander looked up and glanced toward the doorway.
In that one glance, he caught sight of Lila walking side by side with a man. His blue eyes suddenly narrowed.
Instantly, the air pressure around Alexander turned ice cold.
While talking, Julie noticed something was off with him and quickly asked, "Mr. Sinclair, what's wrong?"
He withdrew his gaze, suppressed his anger, and spoke in a calm tone, "Nothing, continue."
"When Celeste found out you were in a coma, she cried until her eyes were swollen. I comforted her, saying good people have their own luck and you'd definitely be fine, but Celeste wouldn't listen to anything. That night she didn't sleep at all at my place. The next day I went to work, and when I came back, she was gone. I couldn't reach her no matter how I tried. Later I reported it to the police, but they couldn't find her either."
"Go on."
Julie sighed, "Celeste really loves Mr. Sinclair. She disappeared because of Mr. Sinclair. I don't know where she went or if she's in danger."
At this point, Julie looked at Alexander carefully, "Mr. Sinclair, if Celeste shows up one day, will you still be with her?"
Alexander's eyes were deep and unreadable, "I've been waiting for her all along."
Julie smiled, "I knew it. Mr. Sinclair and Celeste like each other and are meant for each other."
"If there's any news about her, you must tell me right away."
"I definitely will, Mr. Sinclair can rest assured."
Alexander gave a light acknowledgment, "Let's eat dinner."
Julie, "Okay."
She was in a good mood, lowered her head, picked up her utensils and started eating.
But Alexander had already lost his appetite.
His gaze went past the open door of the private room, staring intently at the outside.
Inside private room number six.
Just as Ethan had said, his parents were really nice people. Seeing their son actually bring his girlfriend over, and she was both beautiful and polite, they were in great spirits.
Worried that Lila might feel uncomfortable, they basically didn't ask anything during dinner, only telling her to eat more.
Lila agreed and quietly ate her food.
But her mind had already wandered off somewhere.
Alexander said he was having dinner with a friend tonight. Was that friend Julie?
He never liked doing things that wasted time. Even when the company's beautiful CFO asked him to dinner, he refused directly and simply. So why did Julie have such appeal?
Could it be that since Celeste couldn't be found, Alexander was just using Julie as her replacement?
Lila felt really upset inside.
During the day at the villa, he put on that cold face and wouldn't even acknowledge her, but then he comes out to eat at a fancy restaurant with another woman.
Lila felt like she was about to die of anger.
When eating her steak, she cut the pieces viciously, and when she put them in her mouth, she chewed viciously, looking like she wanted to tear someone apart.
