The Woman From Hell
Chapter 604

Chapter 604

After hesitating for a moment, I drove Theo's black Maybach. This car looked slightly more ordinary and was considered quite low-key.

Perhaps because I was not used to the car, I drove slightly slower on the road, moving at tortoise speed.

When I arrived at the place where Cassey and I agreed to meet, she was already there.

When she saw me, she waved at me.

Cassey was the daughter of a rich family in the truest sense. Her appearance and figure were top- notch, what more her family background.

She was a year or two older than me, not married, and a career-driven woman.

She did things shrewdly. She was decisive and cool.

When she saw me sitting down, she did not say much and summoned the waiter straight away. Looking at m e, she asked, "What would you like to eat?"

I shrugged and looked at her, saying, "Anything."

She raised her brows. She wasted no time and began ordering as soon as she picked up the menu.

When the waiter left, she looked at me with a cold expression. "Your dark circles are really heavy. Did

anything happen lately?" "Just something unimportant," I replied. After a pause, I looked at her and said, "You’re in Salt City for work?"

She shook her head. "No, it's the holidays so I came out to have a break. I wanted to go abroad but after thinking about how I have nowhere new to go, I decided to come here instead to ask you out for a meal and have a chat."

I raised my eyebrow. "That's it?"

She nodded. "Of course. Why else do you think I'm here? There are only three things in my life- parents, making friends, and earning money."

I...

A successful person sure had different views about life.

Dressed in an extremely elegant manner, she looked a t me and said, "Among all my other friends whom I have come in contact with, you're the dullest person I've met"

Her words were pretty straightforward.

I laughed but made no reply.

Seeing that I did not say a word, she continued, "The Grants and Schumans' assets are enough for you to enjoy the rest of your life in peace, but I'm curious as t o why you've planned your life so badly? You put all your energy and life into love and your so-called hatred. Don't you find it dull and boring at all?"

I was stunned for a moment and looked up at her. At this moment, the waiter served the dishes.

She stopped asking questions and said naturally," Have a taste!”

I took a bite. The food was delicious. This was a famous restaurant that was full all year round, and a reservation needed to be made in advance before coming over. I had never eaten here before,

and after tasting the food today, I realized that the restaurant lived up to its reputation.

"How is it?” She raised her eyebrows, an animated look on her face.

I seemingly saw myself when I had just graduated from university. I was not exactly rich at the time, but Cecilia and I would dress up and visit different places i n Salt City and other cities.

We would taste the best food and see the most beautiful scenery. At that time, I had thought that when I became slightly richer one day, I would visit all the cities in the world. I would immerse myself in their local culture and try their cuisines.

"It’s very good," I replied and could not help but feel so much more at ease.

The waiter then served dessert and she raised her eyebrows, saying with a faint smile, "Try it!"

When she saw me lowering my head to eat, she said with a smile, "I’d come to this restaurant every time I visit Salt City. There was once when I even discussed with the boss if he could let us hire their chef but he refused no matter what. Later, I figured I would gain a lot of weight if I brought this chef home so I eventually gave up."

I looked at her with a slight smile, feeling so much more relaxed.

"You shouldn't have come this far if you're just trying t o introduce me to this restaurant."

She shrugged and tutted, saying, "Wanda, you overcomplicate things. I don't have so many intentions. I'm here to see you for one simple reason, and that is to have a meal with you."

I cast my gaze downward. "So you took a plane from Whaldorf City to Salt City on the second day of New Year's just to have a meal with me."

She raised her eyebrow. "What else?"

After a pause, she continued, "You have to know that this is sometimes the case with the rich. We can do whatever we want. There are some things that ordinary people simply can't understand."
