“Miss Perez? Could it be Talia Perez?” Andrew glanced at William subconsciously.
The corners of William’s mouth curled up into a smile as he asked, “Is it Miss Talia Perez?”
“Yes, that’s right!” The secretary nodded and answered.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let her come up immediately!”
William had already said so, so the secretary immediately turned to let Talia in. However, Andrew said helplessly, “Uncle William, why on earth did you let her up?”
“Can’t I meet Miss Perez?”
“I have nothing to do with her! We have no relationship at all!”
After hearing this, William smiled and said, “Why are you panicking? Besides, I never said that you guys had a relationship, right?”
A few minutes later, the secretary led Talia into Andrew’s office. However, she never expected William to be here as well. Her face turned a little red, so William took the initiative to say hello with a smile, “Hello, Miss Perez!”
“Hello, William! Hello, Mr. Howard!”
“Take a seat here!” William said as he motioned for Talia to sit next to Andrew.
Well, Talia was already here, so Andrew couldn’t be impolite. Hence, he ordered his secretary to pour some tea for her.
On the other hand, Talia was a little uneasy as William was here. However, William looked at Talia with a smile and then looked at Andrew before asking, “Andrew and I are going to have lunch. Miss Perez, do you want to join us?”
After hearing this, Talia glanced at Andrew. She was a little afraid of William, but she didn’t want to give up the opportunity to spend time with Andrew. Hence, she immediately nodded and said, “Actually, I came here to invite Mr. Howard to have lunch too.”
“Is that so?” William smiled thoughtfully. “What a coincidence! Let’s go then!”
After that, the three of them went out of the office and entered the elevator. Then, William glanced at his phone and exclaimed, “Oh! Andrew, your aunt is looking for me, so I can’t eat lunch with you guys now! Well, I’ll go and meet your aunt first, so both of you can go ahead then.”
Andrew smiled helplessly when he heard this. He knew that William was just making up an excuse, but he couldn’t expose the latter, so he replied, “Then I’ll buy you a meal next time then.”
Then, the three of them left the elevator. William got in his car and left. Meanwhile, Talia watched him enviously while saying, “Wow! William has a good relationship with his wife indeed!”
Andrew agreed, “That’s true. Uncle William and Aunt Valeria have a good relationship.”
After that, both of them got into the car. Andrew was driving while Talia was sitting in the passenger seat. Suddenly, she glanced at Andrew’s handsome side profile.
Last night, after Andrew had helped her and sent her home, Talia was already captivated by him.
She had specifically asked for more information about Andrew. Thus, she had learnt that he was currently single, and he wasn’t dating anyone.
How could such an excellent man not have a girlfriend?
He was not only single but he wasn’t involved in any scandals either! After all, he was too focused on his work.
The more Talia asked about Andrew, the better she thought that he was. She didn’t want to give up someone as excellent as him, so she mustered up some courage to invite Andrew out for a meal.
Luckily, Andrew didn’t reject her. Since he didn’t refuse her, this meant that she had a chance. After all, since Andrew didn’t take the initiative to invite her out, she would do so.
After that, the two of them arrived at the restaurant for dinner. While they were parking, Raymond and Anna came over. They had been talking and laughing, but the smiles on their faces froze when they saw Andrew and Talia.
Meanwhile, Andrew looked at Raymond and Anna with a slight frown. Hence, Raymond took the initiative to greet them. “Andrew, are you and Miss Perez also here for dinner?”
“That’s right!” Andrew replied. He was still trying to guess the relationship between Raymond and Anna. The two of them were smiling so happily and seemed to be so intimate. Wait, were both of them in a relationship?
However, at this thought, he felt that it wasn’t right. If Raymond and Anna liked each other, Valeria wouldn’t have introduced Anna to him, right?
When Raymond saw Andrew staring at him and Taylor, he felt burdened. Did he just steal his friend’s girlfriend?
It wouldn’t be a big deal if he had done this to someone else. However, the other party was Andrew. Hence, he had to explain his relationship with Anna to Andrew.
Right now, Raymond couldn’t think of a way to so do now, so he asked awkwardly, “Andrew, do you want to join us?”
He thought that Andrew would refuse, but he didn’t expect the latter to nod and agree. “Okay! Let’s go together!”
Andrew had agreed to eat with them. Anna pinched Raymond behind Andrew’s back, but Raymond gritted his teeth as he couldn’t say anything. However, he was complaining secretly. Urgh! He shouldn’t have said something like that just now. Wasn’t he just creating trouble for himself?
The four of them went to a private room. After they sat down, Andrew handed the menu to Talia while saying, “Well, I don’t know what you like. Please pick some dishes then.”
“I’m not picky when it comes to food. I’m alright with anything, so please order us some food, Mr. Howard.”
After hearing this, Andrew didn’t refuse and ordered the signature dishes. On the other hand, Raymond knew what Anna liked, so he took the menu and ordered it himself. They were all Anna’s favourite dishes.
While they were ordering, Talia looked at Raymond and Anna curiously. She remembered that previously, when she was on a blind date with Raymond, Anna suddenly rushed out and shouted at Raymond. She had shouted and kicked at Raymond while claiming that the latter had cheated on her friend.
At that time, it seemed that Anna and Raymond were enemies. But now, they were so intimate when they ate together.
What the hell were they doing? When Talia saw that Anna was looking at Raymond differently, she was shocked. Did Anna like Raymond?
Then what about her friend?
However, it wasn’t appropriate for her to bring up this issue in front of Andrew. Also, Anna and Raymond also didn’t say much as well.
After the dishes were served, everyone began to eat. Talia took the initiative to take some food for Andrew. When Raymond saw how Talia got along with Andrew, he made a guess secretly. Could they be in a relationship?
Anna was also stunned as she glanced at Raymond.
They had eaten several times before, and Raymond would take the initiative to pick some food for Anna too.
Raymond saw that Anna was looking at him, so he immediately thought that Anna wanted him to get some food for her. Hence, he immediately took some food for Anna.
When Andrew saw this scene, he narrowed his eyes. He had only been a little suspicious before, but now, his guess had been confirmed.
When did Raymond and Anna start dating?
Hah! These two people were crafty indeed. Luckily, he had no feelings for Anna, and he only admired her. If not, he would be depressed if he saw this situation, right?
However, Andrew was a little upset at this scene. He was gentle, but he wouldn’t allow other people to bully him like this. Hence, he had to get to the bottom of this situation.
At this thought, Andrew stood up and left the private room. Then, he texted Raymond and said, “Come out!”
Raymond could only leave the room after seeing Andrew’s message.
He walked up to Andrew and said without waiting for the latter to say anything, “Andrew, I’m sorry! I’ve always wanted to tell you about this, but I didn’t know how to do so!”
However, Andrew sneered and retorted, “When did you and Anna start dating?”
“Well, it’s only been a few days.”
“A few days? Raymond, tell me honestly, did you just steal my blind date?”
Raymond immediately denied it. “Andrew, I didn’t steal your blind date! It’s not like that. Please listen to my explanation! I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. After all, I never had any thoughts about dating her. However, I feel guilty because I didn’t know how things ended this way too…”
“Alright, you don’t need to explain! Raymond, I treated you like my friend, but you did this to me instead! How dare you! From today onwards, we’re not friends anymore!”
