SWNOVELS Chapter 64
Chapter 064
Dress formally? They weren't going on an important date. What was the point of dressing so formally? Lucia casually put her phone aside and put what Jamie had said behind her. Soon, it was evening. Lucia put on a casual outfit and hurriedly went out after telling Turner. When she arrived at her destination by taxi, Lucia saw the name of the restaurant outside through the window and understood why Jamie had told her to dress formally.
Brilliand, the only national restaurant in Austos City, was a place for the best cuisine. It was beyond the reach of most ordinary people even if they had money.
Lucia had heard of Brilliand, but she had never been here before. She hadn't expected that Jamie would choose this place for dinner.
Thinking about him, Lucia saw Jamie coming up in a dark blue suit as she got out of the car. When Jamie approached and saw what Lucia was wearing, he couldn't help but stare at her with his eyes wide open, "Why
are you..." Lucia said honestly, "We're just coming to dinner, so I dressed casually.”
Jamie was speechless, but after a few seconds, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sure enough, the woman he had his eye on was different.
*All right.” Jamie smiled. Then, he raised his hand to pull off the tie around his neck and took off his coat before he started to unbutton his shirt.
Lucia was startled. "Why are you..." Why was he taking off his clothes in the street?
Jamie unbuttoned the top two buttons on his shirt and rolled up his cuffs, winking at her. "You're not alone now!"
After that, he reached out his hand and held Lucia by the arm, pulling her towards the entrance. Lucia was stunned, wondering what was going on in this man's mind.
When they arrived at the restaurant on the second floor, the waiter showed them to a table by the window and then handed
them a menu. After ordering, Lucia picked up her cup of tea and took a sip. When she looked up, she saw Jamie staring straight at her
across the table.
Perhaps because of his outright stare, Lucia's cheeks got a little hot. "What are you... looking at?" "What a pity.” Jamie shook his head, pretending to be sorry. "What?" Lucia got flustered by what he was doing. "What's the pity?"
"I mean the fact that you have married August.” Jamie raised his eyebrows. "But I still have a chance.”
Hearing that, Lucia frowned. "Stop saying that.” Jamie smiled and suddenly said in a sure tone, "Okay, but I bet you and August will get divorced sooner or later.” Lucia's heart skipped a beat when she heard his words.
She didn't know how long her relationship with August would last. She was panicking after what had happened yesterday. It seemed that August had another woman out there, and Lucia had her bottom line and principles to uphold, so they weren't likely to stay together for much longer. Jamie saw the gloom in Lucia's eyes, and only then did he react, saying casually, "Forget it. Let's stop talking about it. Now that we're out here, why don’t we have some fun?"
As he spoke, the waiter came over with the food. Jamie put on his disposable gloves and thoughtfully pulled the whole roast
quail into small pieces before he pushed it to Lucia. Lucia paused and tried to decline. "No, thanks. I can do it myself." She was just about to push the plate back when Jamie suddenly reached out and directly held her hand down. If you don't take it, then I'll feed you."
Hearing that, Lucia looked up to meet Jamie's charming eyes and got goose bumps.
Being stared at by him like this, she just felt uncomfortable all over her body. Lucia hurriedly pulled her hand back. "No... thanks. I'll eat it myself.” Soon, the dishes came one after another. The last one was beef soup and it was served by a young girl. She picked up the
soup bow! from the tray and put it on the table carefully. However, her hands shook. Some of the soup spilled out and a few drops fell on Lucia's arm. Lucia couldn't help but gasp as she subconsciously withdrew her arm. "Sorry... I'm sorry. I'll wipe it for you."
The young girl hurriedly handed over a tissue. Lucia took it and said casually, "It's okay." Jamie, who was sitting across the table, saw how red the burnt place was on Lucia's arm and his face immediately darkened. "What's wrong with you?" The young girl raised her eyes and saw the stunningly handsome man glaring at her. She was so scared that she lowered her head instantly. "I... I didn't mean it." Lucia hastened to stop him. "It's okay, Jamie. I'm fine." Jamie said in a rare serious manner, "It's hot soup. What if it's spilled on your face?"
With that, he stood up, reached out, and took Lucia's wrist. "Come on. Let's wash it with cold water." Burns can be serious or minor. Although she was only burnt on a small part of her arm, the skin there was so burning hot
that she felt uncomfortable. Lucia was pulled to the public sink in the restroom before she could speak. Without saying a word, the man turned on the faucet, took her arm, and rinsed it with the water. With a frown, Jamie couldn't help but say, "A small burn like this can leave a scar, you know? You should take better care of
yourself as a woman!" Lucia was touched by his words. She was about to say thank you when footsteps suddenly came from the corridor nearby. She subconsciously turned her head to look and met the dark eyes of the man who was coming over.
It was August!
Lucia was startled and subconsciously pulled her hand out of Jamie's.
August looked as black as thunder and stared at her unblinkingly with his ark eyes.
Lucia felt as if the air around her had instantly gotten much thinner. She managed to muster up the courage. "August..” Before she finished her words, the man had already stepped forward and grabbed her hand without saying a word, dragging her directly into the adjacent ladies’ room. Jamie reacted and hurriedly strode over. “August.”
"Bang!" The door was closed all at once. Jamie was left outside with his eyebrows knitted. He pushed the door, only to find that it had been locked. Inside, Lucia backed up in surprise. “This i the ladies"..toom."
August frowned. Without saying a word, he came forward and directly comnered Lucia
Then, he said in a cold voice, "Why are you with him?" He had told her to stay away from Jamie. However, she didn't listen to him and got closer and closer to that man instead. What should he do? Lucia opened her mouth nervously without knowing how to explain. After all, she had to start with what had happened at the jewelry exhibition, for which she had promised to have a meal with Jamie. Suddenly, she remembered what had happened last night. Feeling upset, she took a deep breath and said through clenched testh, "I'm just having dinner with him.’ she pretended to be calm and the indifference in her eyes worked to iitate August. The man's face clouded over with anger and he breathed heavily. His voice sounded like rolling in his throat as he said in a cold voice, "You were holding hands, talking, and laughing And
now you're telling me that you're just having dinner?”
