Chapter 289 Flirting in Public

Jake, drenched in wine, stood up and glared at Abigail. “How dare you say that? Do you really think

you’re all mighty just because you’re famous? No matter how famous you are, you’re still a country

bumpkin without parents and nothing more than an unwanted orphan! How long do you think that old

woman can support you? In the end, the only choice you have is to rely on a man! How naive of you to

think you can act high and mighty for your entire life just because of your current fame!”

Anthony’s expression turned grim in that split second. “Trust me, Jake. I’ll have someone cut off your

tongue!” He looked at Jake with hostility.

The commotion at their table quickly drew the attention of the waiter.

Sean cast a glance at Cameron. The latter understood his intention and approached Jake with a cold

expression. Then, he said, “My boss owns shares from this restaurant. Because of your disturbance,

which is affecting others, my boss has asked me to escort you out.”

“I’m a customer here-” Before Jake could finish his sentence, Cameron slapped him across the face.

Jake fell to the ground, and several of his teeth fell out onto the floor.

Cameron walked up to him and smiled. “Do I need to repeat myself?”

In the meantime, the entire table fell silent. Jake could feel his head buzzing from the pain and tried

get back on his feet. As he stumbled out of the room, the other male classmates quickly stood up and

bid farewell to Anthony before scrambling away.

When Cameron saw Abigail looking at him, he felt a bit uneasy. “Please continue your boss will waive

the cost for this table.”

meal. My

At that, Abigail looked at Sean. Sean raised his glass and made a toasting gesture toward her. Then,

he withdrew his gaze and took a sip of his wine.

The rest of the classmates were filled with curiosity and amazement. After all, Sean was undeniably

handsome, and his actions were undoubtedly flirting with Abigail!

Jennifer fixed her gaze on Sean. Her heart was racing, and she blushed.

“Serves him right for turning a class reunion into such a mess!” one of the female classmates

whispered.

Abigail watched as Cameron returned to Sean’s side, looking like the Grim Reaper itself.

No wonder he got a severe reprimand from the police and was fined. He doesn’t know how to control

his strength!

As Abigail thought about it, she sat back down and asked Anthony, “So, the reason Madam Mora

invited me was just to meet up?”

“Did she not add you on WhatsApp? I assume she has something to discuss with you.” Anthony looked

at Abigail intently. “Thanks for standing up for me. I really hate how he addressed me.”

Nowadays, many people would use such words to insult others during arguments. Abigail hated

this too.

“No problem. You’ve been helping me all night too. I haven’t thanked you yet,” Abigail replied as she

averted her gaze.

Jennifer looked at Abigail, and her attitude was completely different from her earlier taunting. “I saw you

on a TV show before. Sean seemed to be quite friendly with you. The two of you must be quite close,

right?” she asked gently.

Luna snorted at that. “What’s with you? We are having a meal here, and you are eyeing Anthony and

Mr. Graham. Your heart sure is fickle.”

Jennifer suppressed her anger and smiled before saying, “Oh, you know, it’s just that we’re all

getting older. It comes at a time when marriage is a hot topic. Since we’re all single, we might as well

get to know each other.”

Abigail gave her a cold look and said, “Sean is just sitting over there. If you want to get to know him,

just ask for his number.”

Luna couldn’t help but look at Abigail. She’s quite clever, hitting two birds with one stone!

Meanwhile, Sean had no idea that Abigail had set him up. He was engrossed in discussions with the

clients about investment matters.

Initially, Abigail wanted to pass the problem over, but she didn’t expect Jennifer to do as she said. Her

mouth was slightly agape since she couldn’t believe Jennifer actually went for it.

Anthony leaned back in his chair, looking utterly amused.

Luna watched as Jennifer approached Sean. Then, she turned to Abigail and said, “I’m sure she’ll tell

him that you are the one who asked her to go. Someone as petty as Mr. Graham will surely come

looking for you.”

“I didn’t expect her to actually go,” Abigail muttered.

On the other hand, Jennifer walked up to Sean with a flushed face. She mustered up the courage and

casually flipped her long, wavy hair. Then, she said to him, “I’m Abigail’s classmate, and I’d like to get

to know you. She told me to come and get your number.”

As expected, Sean’s gaze immediately shifted to Abigail.

Abigail felt a chill run down her spine, so she took a few sips of her drink and pretended to be calm as

she talked to Anthony. “I heard that your company has been doing well lately and is planning to

cooperate with the official television station. Is that true?” She had learned about this from online

sources, but she wasn’t sure if it was true or not.

“Yes. It’s in progress. We are working on aligning with the official station.” Anthony nodded. “In the

future, our company’s TV dramas will have a priority slot on that channel. Of course, quality matters.

Only the top–notch productions will make it.”

TV dramas with priority slots often had a high chance of competing for awards, making them highly

prestigious in the industry.

“That sounds great!” Abigail replied.

At the same time, Sean kept his eyes on Abigail. Seeing that she was unfazed, he shifted his gaze to

Jennifer. “Do you want me to date you?” he asked directly.

Immediately, Jennifer’s face turned flushed, and she bit her lower lip hard.
