###Chapter 597 Please Love Me Sincerely And Warmly – Part 7

Grace and William were in the hall on the first floor. When they saw us coming down, Grace came forward and walked to me and said, "I knew you were in the hotel, so I suggested that William come here and wait."

I couldn't help asking, "What do you want with us? Why didn't you just call me directly?"

She said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. Didn't your boss Jordan just arrived by plane for a few hours? This should give him some time to rest!"

"Is there something wrong?"

She nodded. "There's something, but it's not personal. It's about the company. I'm going to eat again tonight!"

Linda came in carrying a big bag of things, looked at everyone and smiled, and said, "Everyone is here, so why don't we go straight to the restaurant?"

William looked at Jordan and said, "Boss Jordan, the preliminary work of the base has been completed. Today we are invited to have dinner and relax together. Do you have time?"

Jordan smiled and said, "You'll have to ask my wife. I've promised her to take her to an Italian barbecue restaurant tonight."

Grace and Linda both said that they were probably too tired.

William looked at me and said, "Mrs. Astley, we happen to have an Italian barbecue tonight. Why don't you join us?"

Grace took me by the arm and shook, "Sister, come join us. There will so many people to bond with!"

I nodded and replied, "That's right, there are so many people!"

If Jordan and I went to eat alone, it was obvious that Nicole would also go. At that time, it would not be dinner for two at all, but for all three of us. Who would be embarrassed at that time?

It would be better to eat with Grace under this circumstance.

Because of the large number of people, Linda booked a small private room. She put the bag she was carrying on the table, and then began to give it to Grace.

"I drank it when I was shopping the other day, and it tasted good. Try it!" Grace, while talking, put a cup of milk tea in front of us.

In the end, she found that there seemed to be one cup missing, and Linda said awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't think Boss Jordan's friend would come, so I bought one less."

"It's all right. I don't usually drink milk tea, so don't worry about me!" Nicole opened her mouth to say sorry, more or less embarrassed.

Jordan put the cup in front of him, to my hand, and said, "Here, have a taste!"

His action was so natural that he seemed a little intimate. Grace and Linda were stunned for a moment, and then they turned their eyes on me as if asking me what kind of relationship do Jordan and Nicole have.

I smiled and said nothing. I bowed my head and drank the milk tea in front of me. I always thought it was too sweet and greasy.

"Wow, it's so sweet. Brother Jordan, would you like to try it? It's all really good!" Nicole took a sip, then looked at Jordan in surprise. She then handed the milk tea in her hand to Jordan.

"Forget it, I should buy green tea today. Milk tea is too sweet. Green tea is just right!" Grace looked at Linda and looked a little unfriendly.

Linda curled her lips and said with a faint smile, "You're right, it's a little too sweet!" The conversation between the two was hushed, so Nicole just smiled, but she had no superfluous reaction.

I bowed my head, not able to suppress my gloomy mood anymore. I knew what happened before Jordan and Nicole, and I also knew that Jordan took care of Nicole. That was brother's instinctive care for his sister, and it meant nothing else.

However, with this kind of mood between him, it was inevitable that I would be affected.

"What do you think?" There was a low voice in my ear. It was Jordan. As he spoke, he took away the milk tea from my hand, and then drank it away from the straw I had just sipped from.

In fact, this kind of action meant nothing for husband and wife. But we were in a public place, and Nicole was there again. This action seemed like it was done inevitably and deliberately to make people think something.

"Oh, you husband and wife are too greasy to show love. Can you consider the mood of us bystanders?" Grace opened her mouth and chuckled at laughter.

Linda looked at her and said, "Did you see them flirting with each other for the first time?"

The two smiled alike.

However, the smile on Nicole's face faded slightly, and the hand holding the milk tea tightened slightly. I moved my eyes away from her and slouched my lips.

People who could not get what they wanted, would eventually regret it for the rest of their lives. For Nicole, perhaps, Jordan was the regret of her life.

Jordan put down the milk tea in his hand, looked at me, and said, "It tastes good, but it's a little greasy and too sweet. It's not good for your teeth. You can't drink it often!"

I tilted my mouth, "I don't drink very often. In fact, I have only drunk milk tea once in many months, and you're still robbing it from me!"

He laughed. "Are you so distressed by just a sip of milk tea? How dare I not even compare with this cup of milk tea?"

His voice was so low as he said it in my ear. To the outsiders, it looked like we were flirting.

In order not to affect the meal, I changed places with William and sat with Grace.

Grace looked at me and frowned. "Why did you change seats? That's your man. What are you doing? Is it to avoid suspicion?"

"I'm not avoiding suspicion, William suddenly called him out. I guess he had something to talk to him about. Did you think I believed that you really planned to invite your boyfriend to this barbecue for nothing?"

She was stupefied for a moment, then smiled, looked at me, and said, "Ivelle you are still thoughtful, thank you for reminding me!"

I was already hungry. I didn't talk much, but I just ate.

After a few bites, I was almost full. Jordan and William were chatting. I had nothing to do and was bored. I just looked at them with my hand touching my chin. To be exact, I looked at Jordan. He hadn't seen him for a few days, and they had no chance with their relationship. He was probably too busy at work and looked a little haggard, but this didn't affect his handsomeness at all.

Maybe my eyes were so direct that he couldn't help looking up in my direction, and his dark gaze converged with mine slightly for a moment.

Aware of his unhappiness, I couldn't help but be curious. What did I do wrong? I also couldn't help looking down at myself. I forgot that when I came in just now, I took off my coat because of the heat. And because the clothes inside the coat was a dress with a wide collar, and I was lying on my chin, my neck and collarbones were completely exposed.

Seeing his slender fingers on the table, he tapped a few times rhythmically and coughed, which obviously was a signal for me to sit down.

I blinked, sat up, and tidied up my clothes, looking dignified.

Grace picked up meat for me, approached me with a smile, and said, "You two really have a tacit understanding."

I laughed and then bowed my head to eat meat. If there had been a tacit understanding, he would not have come out gladly with what happened
