Chapter 145 See You Soon Elianna froze. realizing that he had seen through her.
Alicia had noticed Nola's feelings for Jefferson before and retaliated against her. Women in love were particularly sensitive. If she were to suspect something, the consequences would be dire.
Moreover, her brother mentioned that Sophia attended their father's concerts frequently. Sophia might have seen her there. It was best to avoid walking into a minefield if possible.
Not to mention that she also has to deal with the formidable Jefferson. It's like navigating through treacherous waters.
She planned to sneak away after Jefferson left but hadn't expected him to reveal it so easily.
Nervously, she forced a sheepish smile and said, "Oh, Mr. Larsen, how could I ever think of running away?”
Jefferson chuckled amiably. “Indeed, I don't think you would. If you tried to run, I'd get angry, and who knows what I might say..." “Oh, it wouldn't be worth it. I don't think you'd do that, would you?"
Faced with this blatant threat, Elianna forced herself to smile. "Yes, Mr. Larsen, please go ahead. I'll join you shortly.”
"Very well."
Jefferson seemed satisfied and walked over, leaning close to her ear, whispering softly, "Darling, see you soon."
Elianna smiled insincerely. "Sure."
As she watched the man leave, her smile instantly disappearedContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
What a despicable man!
The rooftop restaurant was open-air, with plants providing some privacy between tables
By now, it was getting late, and the neon lights illuminated the night. creating a stunning view.
When Jefferson sat down and saw Alicia, he wasn't surprised. He glanced at Sophia
"Don't you ever get tired of this game?"
Sophia pretended to be clueless. "Jeff, what are you talking about? I just bumped into Alicia downstairs, and I brought her here." “Hmm.”
Jefferson sneered, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and then looked at Alicia.
Is that so?"
Ever since Jefferson arrived, Alicia. had onlyA Had eyes for him. She didn't botherto hide it and admitted c> directly, ' ‘I told Sophia that I wanted ta. See you.” -
This time, she repeated herself with a hint of greed and obsession. "I want to see you."
Seeing Alicia so easily betraying her, Sophia sighed helplessly. "Jeff, I was wrong.”
“Hmm.”
After this commotion, Sophia thought Jefferson would leave, but to her surprise, he just made a grunt and showed no intention of leaving. The atmosphere grew awkward.
As Sophia pondered whether to say something else, a woman in a light green suit approached.
Underneath her loose top, a glimpse of a slender waist attracted many gazes.
Once she recognized the newcomer, Sophia immediately waved. "Anna, come sit here.”
Elianna looked at the seats and saw Jefferson sitting on one side. with Sophia and Alicia across from him.
If she were to sit down now, she would have to sit beside Jefferson
This...
As she was hesitating, Alicia suddenly stood up and sat directly beside Jefferson. placing her bag beside him. Elianna couldn't bear to see another woman sitting next to Jefferson, even if it was his sister-in-law.
Her decision relieved Elianna. If she had sat beside Jefferson, who knows what trouble he might have caused. It was better to keep her distance for now.
Just as she was about to move to Alicia's previous seat, Sophia considerately moved in. “You sit on the outside, so it's less troublesome." Elianna sighed inwardly but could only say, "Okay, thank you, Sophy.”
After all the fuss, Elianna ended up sitting across from Jefferson.

"You used to dress too plain. You should show off your advantages."
