Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 31

As I ate a prawn which Lucy had peeled personally, I mocked, "Young lady, you're two-faced, aren't you?"

It hadn't been long since Lucy composed herself. Once again, her face reddened.

"Mr. William, stop pulling my leg. I will definitely make it up to you after this meal."

I clicked my tongue. She was honest indeed.

If only she was as honest as this in the elevator.

By the time I was full, the elders around the table were already looking drained.

They were individuals who were experienced in the business world. Spending time with clients was a piece of cake for them, but having a meal with a young man indeed rendered them a little helpless.

Out of good intentions, I stood up. "Alright, that's all for tonight. I'm full from dinner, and I really enjoyed the meal. It's time for me to head back to school. I've got a curfew."

The group of elders got to their feet immediately, as if they were relieved that they were being spared.

"Alright, alright. Let's not make Mr. William stay up too late. He's the future of our country, so he needs to rest early and focus on his studies."

They sent me off downstairs, and I waved goodbye to them.

Just as I took a few steps forward, I noticed that Lucy was following behind me.

She asked, "Mr. William, did you drive here?"

"I took a cab."

"Lying low?"

She smiled. "Shall I send you back, then? It isn't easy to flag a cab at this hour."

"Sure."

If I turned her down, she definitely would assume that I was still holding a grudge against her behavior.

Truth be told, she had been attending to me the entire meal. I had already forgiven her.

After getting into the car, she hurled her blazer to the back seat. The sleeveless top was the only top she had on. Under the dim lighting, her fair skin looked even more alluring.
