Chapter 1046 Reckless Angel. Clare's POV:. A few moments later, we arrived at the restaurant Lennon had mentioned. I knew this place, but I had never been here before. Well, to begin with, I could not afford to come here. The ambiance of this place exceeded my expectations. It actually looked better than the pictures I had seen on the Internet. And judging from the decor, dining from this place must cost an arm and a leg. The waiter led us to the VIP room and handed us the menu. Kelley scanned through it and exclaimed, "Oh, my God! A salad for 600 dollars? It better have gold in it! I know your husband is filthy rich, Clare. But, damn, we can eat somewhere else. I don't think I deserve to eat such expensive food. Besides, I eat a lot. I don't want your husband getting bankrupt because of me. "It's not like we come here every day," I said with a helpless smile. "Don't worry," Lennon assured her, "This restaurant belongs to our group. You can order whatever you like. Kelley and I both looked at him with surprise. This place was famous in New York for its high prices and exclusive clientele of dignitaries. We did not expect that it was actually owned by River Group. Kelley leaned over to me and whispered in my ear, "Does your husband blackmail people for a living? I've racked my brains, but I still can't figure out how a salad can cost 600 dollars. Will I go to heaven after. eating it?” I shook my head and chuckled. "I don't know. Why don't you order one? Maybe you will have your answer. Kelley snorted. "I'm not that stupid to order salad in this kind of place

I'm going to order something else!”. Sure enough, she ordered all the expensive fancy dishes on the menu. Not long after, the dishes were served one after another. Kelley and I both thought that they all looked scrumptious. But to her, it seemed that the food was not the only thing that looked appealing. She appeared to have taken a fancy to a handsome waiter and even asked him for his phone number. ‘The delightful ambiance at lunch dispelled the sadness of our farewell. Lennon's POV:. After lunch, Clare and I drove Kelley to the airport. Just as I had expected, the two of them cried and did not let go of each other for at least 30 minutes, causing Kelley to almost miss her flight. After seeing Kelley off, I sent Clare back to the law office. She had asked for a day's leave. But since I had to go back to the company to deal with work and she did not want to stay alone, she decided to go back to work. When I dropped her off and went back to the company, I unexpectedly met Angel there. Upon seeing me, she slowly made her way toward me. I got out of the car, gave the car key to the valet waiting by the entrance, and asked him to park the car. "Lennon, long time no see! Did you just come back from somewhere? Where have you been?". I did not think it was necessary to answer her question, so I dodged it. "Why are you here?" My indifferent attitude seemed to hurt Angel. A look of disappointment flashed across her face, but she regained her composure shortly after. "I'm not here to bother you. I'm here for a meeting," she answered with a beaming smile. It suddenly occurred to me that our company had recently invested in Hanley's upcoming film and there was a meeting scheduled for today. However, I did not expect that Angel was slated to be the female lead in the movie. Perhaps for fear 1 would misunderstand her, she hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I didn't use any improper means to get this role. Hanley believed I was a good fit for the character, so he sent me the script

I also found the story appealing, which was why I decided to do this. I had no idea that River Group was going to invest in it. All I could think about was how talkative and annoying she was. I did not care how she got the role anyway. "There's no need to explain yourself. I won't interfere in Hanley's decision. If he thinks you're suitable for the job, then so be it. What's the use of saying all this anyway? Would you have declined the role if you knew that River Group had invested in the film? I doubt it," I said without even sparing her a glance. The look on Angel's face changed in an instant. She remained silent, probably trying to come up with some excuse, but Thad no desire to hear her out. I checked the time on my watch and impatiently said, "You should go now. The meeting is about to begin. "Okay. Angel suddenly walked over to me and held my hand as if I were her boyfriend. I could not tell if she misunderstood what I had said. But I must admit, 1 was perplexed. I never expected she would do such a thing, especially since she knew I was married. With a deep frown, I yanked my hand out of hers and asked in a frigid tone, "Do you have any idea what you're doing? Miss Yates, don't you have any sense of boundary when it comes to a married man?". "No, no. It doesn't mean anything. Please don't take it to heart. I'm just used to holding your hand when we—". "That was for work. " I interrupted her before she could finish her sob story I was not interested in. Without another word, I walked to the elevator and left her behind
