Evelyn just felt embarrassed when William didn’t take the document from her just now, but now she felt like she had gotten slapped in the face.
Evelyn’s face was covered in a furious blush, but William still looked at her indifferently.
William probably wanted her to leave right away, right? Evelyn gritted her teeth. She couldn’t leave because that would mean that she was giving in to him. She had to eat with him.
Evelyn controlled herself to turn around and get in the car behind him. She saw William’s car speeding away as soon as she got in.
Bobby sped up and sneered. “This woman is really thick-skinned. She’s from such a rich family, but she’s practically selling herself like those women in bars.”
“They look pretty and glamourous on the outside, but they know very well what their true colours are,” William sneered.
“Sir, what does she want by pestering you like this? Does she really want to be your mistress? Isn’t the Gurney family a joke?”
“Haha! It doesn’t matter what she wants because I don’t have time to eat with her. Make arrangements for us to leave in half an hour!”
The car soon arrived at the restaurant, but William did not wait for Evelyn to get out before he entered the restaurant with Bobby. She arrived a few minutes later and thought that William would wait for her at the entrance of the restaurant, but he was nowhere to be found.
Evelyn bit her lip in shame and followed Marcus and the female secretary into the restaurant.
The private room was exquisite and luxurious. William sat in the private room and sent a message to Valeria with his mobile phone. “I have something to deal with and I can only go home after an hour. You can eat first if you’re hungry, you don’t have to wait for me.”
“I’m not hungry, I’ll wait for you.”
“What about our children? Listen to me and eat something first.” William didn’t even raise his head when Evelyn entered. Only the female secretary politely invited Evelyn to sit down and handed the menu to her. “Miss Gurney, please order!”
All this was supposed to be done by William, but he handed it over to his secretary and he didn’t even bother being polite.
Evelyn held back her anger and ordered a few dishes with Marcus. William did not talk to Evelyn during the whole process and kept sending messages. The secretary was the only one who was trying to mediate the atmosphere. Marcus was also very cold and he had been looking at his mobile phone this whole while.
William didn’t seem to want to make a toast to Evelyn at all even when the dishes were served. Evelyn was the only one who took the initiative to raise her wine glass and looked at him with a smile. “Mr. Howard, let me toast you!”
William didn’t even touch his glass. “I’m sorry, Miss Gurney. I can’t drink.”
Evelyn panicked because William had humiliated her again. The secretary picked up her cup and tried to smooth things over. “Miss Gurney, Mr. Howard is not feeling well recently so he can’t drink. Let me make a toast to you!”
The secretary tried to smooth things over for Evelyn. William could at least drink juice, right? However, he didn’t even have the intention to raise his glass.
Evelyn was angry and took the initiative to pour some fruit juice for William. “Can he drink juice instead of wine?”
“Mr. Howard is allergic to juice.” Marcus immediately answered.
“Then let’s drink water!” Evelyn refused to give up.
William looked at her coldly and said, “Miss Gurney, are you here to eat or drink? Didn’t you say that you were very hungry? Why are you doing this since you’re hungry? Hurry up and leave. I still need to go back and eat with my wife.”
Evelyn felt as if she was slapped in the face again. She gritted her teeth and glared at William, who was also looking at her and he gave her a rare smile. “Why are you looking at me like that? Miss Gurney, your makeup is ruined and you look very ugly!”
Evelyn put down the cup and rushed to the bathroom after she heard this. When she opened the door of the private room, she bumped into the waiter who was pushing a cart that was filled with dishes.
The cart was filled with soup and various beverages. Evelyn was extremely embarrassed as she was covered in greasy soup. William touched his chin with a sneer in his eyes. His secretary quickly got up and said, “What’s going on? Can’t you do your job right? Ask your manager to come here!”
Evelyn was covered in grease all over and she was completely humiliated in front of William. How could she shamelessly continue to eat with him? She immediately left without waiting for William’s reply and she was helped away by William’s secretary with an ashen expression.
After Evelyn left, William got up with a smile and left the restaurant with Bobby and Marcus.
Evelyn was sent back to the hotel. She was so embarrassed that her face was twisted in anger.
She went to the bathroom to take a shower after entering the hotel room and William’s secretary left as well.
Paisley’s men had been following Evelyn and reported everything that had happened.
Paisley pondered for a while after she listened to the report. She didn’t really believe Angel’s words before, but Evelyn was experiencing the same thing she had in the past. According to what happened today, Evelyn was even worse off than her.
It would be easy to deal with this matter since Evelyn had a crush on William. The Gurneys were also a wealthy and powerful family, so Paisley could make use of Evelyn’s infatuation with William.
She had to find an opportunity to test Evelyn.
Abbie woke up early at five o’clock in the morning. She couldn’t fall asleep, so she changed into sportswear and went to the garden to run.
Abbie was a bit irritated while she ran and it was unlike how she was usually. She even slipped and fell as she ran.
She limped back to the living room. Helen got up and was shocked to see Abbie. “What happened?”
“I fell while running!”
“Does it hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“There’s no need for that, I’ll apply some medicine myself. Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine.” Abbie went upstairs while Helen looked at her back and felt uneasy.
Abbie returned to his bedroom and sat down. When she applied a bit of ointment to her injured leg, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
She went to the bathroom and found some blood on her pants.
Her period was late for half a month. Did she just get her period after she fell?
Abbie laughed at herself, but she didn’t take it seriously and found some sanitary pads to place on her underwear.
She didn’t go downstairs. Instead, she sat on the sofa in the room wearily and stared blankly at her phone.
There were several messages on the phone. She glanced at them and found that they were from Michael to ask if she had woken up.
Abbie didn’t want to reply at all. Michael sent her these caring messages even though he was with Josephine. What on earth did he want to do?
Abbie’s heart felt like it was breaking when she thought of Josephine. She had always thought that she was the only one for Michael and hoped that he would be loyal. However, Michael had actually slept with another woman. It was really ridiculous!
Michael couldn’t wait for Abbie’s reply and sent another message. “Why aren’t you replying to my messages? Is it because you’re busy?”
Abbie stared at Michael’s message for a while before she started typing. “Michael, were you a virgin when you were with me?”
