Lucy walked beside Michael, spotting Chloe first.

She glimpsed the man beside Chloe, a shadow of gloom flashing in her eyes, then said with some surprise, "Michael, isn't that Chloe?"

Michael had been engrossed in work, head down, but at Lucy's words, he looked up to see Chloe standing with Quinn.

He instantly frowned, closed his phone, and approached them.

"Why are you here with him?"

Michael's tone was stiff, even questioning.

People bustled around; the four of them stood out conspicuously in the open plaza.

"I should be asking you what you are doing here with her."

Chloe shot back, mirroring his words.

"Don't misunderstand, Chloe. Michael and I are here to discuss a project. The engineering department oversees it, so I came along to check on it," Lucy explained with a gentle smile.

"A project from the engineering department without bringing the manager, just an ordinary employee? Mr. Shawn really

knows how to do business, huh?" Chloe remarked sarcastically

and turned to leave.

She couldn't stand it a second longer.

But Michael quickly grabbed her waist. "Since it's such a coincidence, let's eat together."

Lucy and Chloe were

thinking, having all four of them dine

together?" Chloe thought.

Chloe initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Lucy's restrained expression, she changed her mind.

"Sure!"

She was curious to see how this awkward meal would play out!

Inside the restaurant, Michael naturally sat next to Chloe.

Chloe was somewhat surprised.

She had thought he would sit by Lucy.

Quinn considerately passed the menu to Chloe.

"I remember you like this local cuisine. How about ordering some steak and spicy grilled chicken?" Chapter 158 Spicy Food

Michael took the menu from Quinn, leaning closer to Chloe unintentionally.

Chloe, slightly annoyed, tried to move away, but he moved closer again.

Resigned, she went along with it, though her gaze shifted to Quinn.

When inviting someone to dine, it was natural to ask their preferences. "Quinn, what would you like?"

Quinn glanced up and said calmly, "I'm easy. I'll have whatever you're having."

His words carried a hint of ambiguity, causing Michael's expression to darken slightly.

Chloe, uninterested in engaging, turned to Lucy and raised an eyebrow." And Ms. Campbell?"

"I have a bad stomach; I can't really handle spicy food."

Living abroad, she indeed favored milder dishes.

"So, what should we do? My tastes are pretty strong, and I ordered the spicy food. You're not going to have a problem, are you? Chapter 158 Spicy Food

"There is no choice, then; the majority rules. Ms. Campbell will. just have to cope."

As Chloe discussed the matter, she closed the menu.

Lucy pressed her lips. "I remember Michael also prefers lighter

flavors."

She hoped Michael would speak up in her defense.

The plan was for a business dinner followed by a meal just. between the two of them.

But Chloe's unexpected arrival had disrupted her plans.

"Really? You don't eat spicy?"

Chloe turned to Michael with a feigned ignorance, curious to see how he would respond.

Michael knew she was doing this on purpose.

Chloe had always been jealous of Lucy. Perhaps if he sided with her today, she wouldn't be as upset.

Almost reflexively, he answered, "I can handle spicy."

At his words, Chloe smiled contentedly while Lucy's expression

soured.
