Chapter 239
“Hey, Dom’s right. We were all just joking, so you shouldn’t take this all to heart.”
“Besides, we haven’t seen each other in such a long time, so it would be such a shame to leave so
soon…”
Protests echoed around the room.
Hearing this, Janice also began to think that Leon left out of anger, so she quickly added, “Leon, since
you’re already here, why not stay for lunch first? We haven’t seen each other in three years, I want to
catch up with you.”
Janice was very earnest; the only reason she agreed to come to the gathering was to try her luck at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrunning into Leon, and now that he was here, she did not want him to leave so soon.
“I’m sorry, Janice, but I have to run… Why don’t we meet up in a few days, and we can catch up over a
meal? I’ll be the host…” Before Leon could even finish his sentence, however, the door slid open, and
Cynthia strode into the room.
“Who are you?”
Surprise and amazement crept into everyone’s minds when they caught sight of the gorgeous woman
who sauntered into the room.
Cynthia Shear was renowned all over town for her beauty, and her grace and assertiveness made her
so dazzling that one could almost be tricked into thinking she was a powerful Greek goddess.
Even though Janice was also a pretty woman, she still faltered next to Cynthia, not to mention the
other, less attractive women around the table.
“How stunning…” Some of the men’s faces lit up as they could not help letting out sighs of amazement.
They came across plenty of attractive women before, but Cynthia was arguably the most beautiful
person they ever had the fortune to lay eyes on!
“Hey, gorgeous, what brings you here today?” One of them asked gallantly, wondering if Cynthia
wandered into their booth by mistake.
However, Cynthia ignored him outright and strode in Leon’s direction as soon as she caught sight of
him.
“Leon, didn’t you invite me here for lunch? What are you doing here in someone else’s room? How
dare you treat me like this!” she exclaimed in annoyance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Um…I happened to run into some old college mates of mine, so I stopped by to say hi. I didn’t mean to
waste your time like this, Cynthia…” Leon let out an awkward smile.
Everyone’s jaws dropped at this. None of them ever imagined that Cynthia would be here for Leon!
Everyone thought that Leon was simply using his meeting as an excuse to escape, but it turned out he
told the truth!
Could she be Leon’s new girlfriend?
How could this be?
Everyone exchanged glances of sheer disbelief.
“Hey, angel. My name’s Dominic Sawyer. Do I have the honor of getting to know you?” Dominic
reached out in an attempt to shake Cynthia’s hand.
He, just like the rest, was by mistaken Cynthia to be Leon’s new girlfriend. Even though he was unsure
how Leon–a broke, parentless divorcee–managed to win Cynthia’s heart, he was certain that he would
be able to impress Cynthia, considering he was so much better than Leon in so many ways!
