Used and Ditched!
“Don‘t say that. If you were an average person, maybe I would talk to you about everything. But you
are anything but average. You are Norma, the elite lawyer. What if the words I say become evidence in
your favor, and you turn them against me in the future?” Gloria did not answer that.
She smiled bitterly and sighed helplessly after realizing that Lovell would be on guard against her, “It
seems that you won‘t buy a word I say anymore.”
Lovell did not talk in a roundabout way either, “Just tell me what your purpose is. Don‘t worry, I will still
buy you dinners as I have promised.”
Gloria heaved a sigh and said leisurely, “Calm down. Let‘s take our time.”
“Girl, you only make it worse.” Gloria saw that Lovell had run out of patience and that what he said
was the truth. She shook her head and said, “I would still talk to you about this plan. If you disagree
with it after you hear it, so be it. I will leave you alone. But since you are gonna buy me dinners, I think
you have shown your interest and given me the chance, right?”
Lovell remained silent. Gloria smiled and continued, “Everyone has their family to support and you
have your own cause too. I know you hate changes and new things and wanna focus on your family
business. But think about the large market out there to be exploited and the future development.”
Lovell narrowed his eyes and asked, “Since you knew that to develop on these projects is the last
thing I wanna get myself involved and that I am as stubborn as a donkey, why do you come after me?
You think you can talk me out of my decisions?”
“No, deep down you know you don‘t hate these projects. You are just worried that you would fail and
that you would disappoint your family.”
At the same time, in another box. Jordy took his seat, ordered the food and immersed himself in
scrolling on his phone after they entered. Angela put her phone aside. She treasured every single
second to be alone with Jordy. But… Jordy had no intention of even engaging in a talk with her. Was
he really here to have dinner with her? Angela was now sure that Jordy brought her out on purpose!
She took a deep breath and could not hold back anymore, “Jordy, you are still thinking about Gloria,
aren‘t you?”
Jordy looked up at her, his eyes tainted with annoyance.
“Angela. I don‘t want to hear you say that again,” threatened Jordy. Angela‘s heart jolted. Jordy had
never said such cruel word to her before. Did he… She took another deep breath.
A mixture of unspeakable irritability and reluctance filled up her heart. But she did not know what to say
under the current situation. Just while she was torn by the anxiety about how to continue the
conversation with Jordy, the waiter knocked on their door. Angela breathed, smiled and said, “Come
in.”
Jordy remained silent. He was in a really bad mood at the moment. Gloria didn‘t give out any
response, not even caring that Angela was holding his arm. Humph. What a heartless woman! He
was used and ditched?! Jordy tried his best to hold down the raging anger that could explode at any
second. His mood went through strong fluctuations these two days, and his employees were terrified
that they might offend him by any means.
