on the phone, and here comes a call again.’

"What’s the matter?" he asked in a serious voice.

"Are you eating at Layra Restaurant?" Jaden asked. He could hear David’s displeasure, so he figured he must have interrupted his meal.

"What’s up?"

Jaden went straight to the point. "My sister is outside Layra Restaurant. She wants to come in for a meal. Is it okay for you to let her in?"

"It’s not okay."

As David spoke, he was about to hang up the phone.

"Can you bear to see my sister standing alone outside?" Jaden resorted to using a plea for sympathy to get his sister inside.

"Who’s calling?" Danielle asked, looking at David’s displeased expression.

"A friend’s sister wants to come in and eat," David replied gently, completely devoid of the coldness he had shown when he spoke to Jaden earlier.

"Let them in then. We’re almost done eating anyway."

Jaden pricked up his ears to listen on the phone. He thought, ’No wonder David was annoyed when he talked to me earlier. It turns out that he’s having a meal with a woman. A woman... There’s a woman beside him? And he spoke so gently to her.

’I grew up with David. Many people have a thing for him, but I haven’t seen any woman brave enough to really get close to him. I want to see who can melt this iceberg.

"Ask your sister to come in," David said. Without waiting for Jaden to say anything, he hung up the phone right away, thinking, ’This phone should have been switched off all the time today.

A short while later, two girls entered the restaurant. Emma immediately spotted David and excitedly went over to greet him. "David, so it’s you who booked the entire place," she said. "We’re really fated to meet. We actually run into each other overseas."

An endearing voice sounded beside David.

She was too happy to meet David here, so she immediately neglected Celine, who had come in with her, and Danielle, who was sitting opposite David.

David pursed his lips when he heard this. His eyes were like the cold night sky, which was chilling. There was a coldness that made one shiver.

"Who are you?" he asked.

David’s question made Emma, who was smiling, instantly feel awkward. Her eyes were teary as she said with grievance, "David, it’s me, Emma. We’ve met before. Maybe you’re usually busy, so you’ve forgotten about me."

"Don’t call me with that kind of tone." David’s deep voice contained a sense of threat. Emma thought, ’Well, I just have a thing for you...

Sitting across from David, Danielle was completely unaffected as she continued to eat, looking as if she was an outsider.

She thought, ’I really have a lot of love rivals, from my home country to abroad...
