She remembered suddenly when Levi had mentioned that this steakhouse was a hit among the affluent in Eldorria City.

Go figure she’d run into Jeffrey of all people! Before Levi returned, she'd already gathered her things and slipped away from their table.

She figured she’d wait for Levi at the front door, out of Jeffrey's line of sight.

After settling the bill and actually washing his hands, Levi returned to an empty seat.

He scanned the room and saw no signs of Karen. Panic set in.

Did she leave because he took too long paying? Was she angry? He whipped out his phone and dialed her number.

She picked up quickly.

“Karen, where are you?” “I'm at the front, just needed sfresh air. Cfind me.” “Okay.” Levi found it odd that she wanted to leave before finishing their meal, but didn’t dwell on it. He ended the call, grabbed his coat, and followed suit.

Unbeknownst to him, the very mention of “Karen” had pricked Jeffrey's ears! “There.” Karen waved at Levi as she saw him approach.

He jingled his car key and walked over, “Not feeling well? Should we see a doctor?” “It’s not that dramatic. Just felt a bit stuffy in there, 8 because of the poor ventilation.” Karen chuckled as she tugged at the sleeve of Levi's jacket, “Let's just go.” “Sure!” As Karen's intimate gesture made Levi blush, they headed for the car.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, Karen glanced at the front of the steakhouse gate. And she saw Jeffrey stand right there.

He stood there, arms crossed, decked out in black jeans and a matching bomber jacket. Leaning against the entrance, he was fixing his eyes on her.

This was bad.

When had Jeffrey noticed her? Karen's face turned ashen in a sec, and her pace quickened.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated for All Books Updates...

Levi, sensing something amiss, offered support, “You look pale. Maybe we should just go to the hospital?” “No need, let's just go fast.” Karen pretended not to see Jeffrey and got into the car. As she reached to close the door, a large hand suddenly appeared and made a firm grasp.

Looking up, she met Jeffrey’s narrowed eyes.

“Why the rush? Can’t you even say hello when you see an old friend?” Karen pouted.

Levi glanced at him, then at Karen, “A friend of yours?”

“Uh, yeah! A friend. Just hang on a sec, I'll have a quick word with him and then we can leave .Karen forced a stiff smile at Levi, then quickly stepped out and shut the door. She didn’t speak to Jeffrey right away, instead walking a bit away before speaking.

“Fancy seeing you here, Mr. Turner. You're into steak too?” Karen's smile looked more like a grimace.

Jeffrey slid his hands into his jacket pockets, pulled out a cigarette and lit it with a flick of his lighter. “Did you get the new phone?” “Yeah, got it. Thanks for the replacement.” “And who's that?” Jeffrey nodded toward the black Audi.

He wasn’t clueless. He had a hunch but wanted to ask anyway.

Karen thought, why act all guilty like she'd been caught cheating? So she replied candidly .He's someone I was set up with Scratch that, guess he's my boyfriend now.”
