    Chapter 199 Do We Look Like Siblings?


    With Jasper’s instructions, no one dared to say anything about Eileen leaving. Instead of attending


    these banquets with Will, she would prefer to be with Jasper. Will was afraid of the Smith family and


    absolutely did not want to offend Jasper.


    With that, Eileen set off for Seatown at ten in the morning and arrived around half past eleven, just in


    time for lunch.


    The driver dropped her off in front of a high-end restaurant.


    “Ms. Eileen. I’ll be leaving first. Mr. Jasper will escort you hometer.”


    “Alright, thank you for your help.”


    “Not a problem, Ms. Eileen.”


    Seeing the familiar car, Fabian stepped forward and opened the passenger door. Eileen, carrying her


    chain purse, got out of the car and pulled her jacket tightly around herself.


    Fabian informed her, “Mr. Smith is waiting for you inside. I’ll leave the two of you alone.”


    Before entering, Eileen asked, “Have you finished your business negotiations?”


    Fabian smiled. “We’re already in the final stages. It’s not a big deal if Mr. Smith isn’t there to join us.”


    Eileen nodded. “Alright, thank you.”


    In truth, she was also worried that her arrival might cause trouble for Jasper. She thought that if he was


    busy, she could spend time exploring Seatown on her own.


    Walking into the restaurant, Eileen spotted Jasper sitting on the couch. His head was slightly lowered,


    as if he was texting someone. She approached quietly and took a seat opposite him.


    ordered?” “Sir, is the person you’re waiting for not here yet? Why haven’t you


    Upon hearing the voice, Jasper put down his phone and poured a cup of tea for her. “Perfect


    She’s just arrived. Mr. Smith is aid-back yet wealthy man. Order whatever you like”


    A few waiters brought over some appetizers and also presented two menus.


    “What are these?”


    Jasper said, “It’s something for you to snack on.”

    Eileen casually ordered a few dishes but made sure it wasn’t too much, as she didn’t have a big


    appetite.


    However, they might have to take the leftovers with them, as too much food had been ordered.


    Jasper watched as Eileen enjoyed her meal. Watching her eat was also a kind of pleasure for him. “I


    heard you did well on your test this time.”


    “It’s not too bad. After solving so many math problems, it doesn’t feel that difficult.”


    “Try to eat less cold food. The weather hasn’t warmed up yet. It’s easy to get sick.”


    “Alright, I’ll have onest bite.”


    On business trips, Jasper tended to eat wherever convenient, seldom visiting such restaurants. He


    enjoyed a quiet environment and didn’t like to be disturbed while eating.


    Even the orders were Fabian’s idea. If he had known earlier, he should’ve ordered less food.


    Sure enough, Eileen was already eighty percent full.


    So much so that for the steak that followed, Eileen only had a few bites, and the rest end up in Jasper’s


    stomach.


    If she were at home, Eileen would certainly not behave so unrestrainedly.


    However, it was different with Jasper. She knew that he would indulge her.


    “Have you finished eating?”


    Eileen nodded contentedly. “I’m full. Where should we go


    next?”


    “I’ve had Fabian send your change of clothes to the hotel. Let’s take a walk together to aid digestion.


    Jasper reached out his hand, and Eileen understood his intention. She handed him the bag she was


    holding. With the bag in his left hand and holding her with his right, the two of them.


    left the restaurant.


    As he was getting ready to pay, he suddenly heard a gentle and pleasant voice. “Mr. Smith? What a


    coincidence. We meet again.”


    Eileen followed the direction of the sound, not knowing which esteemed family’s daughter she was


    looking at. The woman’s skin was as smooth as silk, her every frown and smile. perfectly tined, while


    she moved with an elegant demeanor. Eileen didn’t recognize this. woman, but she did recognize the


    person standing next to her.

    It was Benjamin Raker, her ssmate and the top student in the entire grade.


    Eileen looked at Benjamin, and she could easily guess that those two were siblings. Their facial


    features were simr, and it was apparent at first nce.


    When Benjamin met Eileen’s gaze, Eileen nodded in greeting, and Benjamin responded with


    a nod in return.


    Jasper merely nced at Elizabeth, not saying anything. Instead, he noticed Eileen’s gaze. “Do you


    know each other?”


    Eileen honestly said, “This man here is my ssmate.”


    Jasper’s brows rxed.


    The cashier pulled out a bill. “Here is your bill, sir. Please take a look.” She then asked, “Are the four of


    you together?”


    Eileen was about to speak when Jasper’s voice, cool and detached, cut in. “We’re not.” As he finished,


    he slightly turned his body. “My wallet is in my pocket.” His voice was noticeabl gentler than before.


    Elizabeth smiled to ease the awkwardness. “We’re at table number 12. Could you ple how much it is?”


    “Alright, please wait a moment.”


    Eileen understood and reached into his coat to pull out a ck wallet. As she opened the wallet, she


    immediately saw it-a photo of her. It was the one-inch picture she had taken while temporarily wearing


    her school uniform. Eileen was born with natural curls, but found them troublesome to manage, so she


    had them permed into waves. Later on, she ended up cutting them short.


    “Which card?” Eileen didn’t know that her photo was in this wallet, and with people watching nearby,


    she felt her ears growing hot in embarrassment.


    “Any of them will do.”


    Eileen casually drew a card. Unnoticed by her, Jasper’s eyes flickered momentarily, an emotion that


    quickly vanished into nothingness,


    After settling the bill, the four of them walked out of the store together.


    Tm surprised the CEO of Smith Corporation can be so forgetful. We’ve talked before at thest


    banquet,” said Elizabeth as she shifted her gaze to Eileen. “Is this your younger sister?”


    Sister

    Do we look like siblings


    Seeing


    the scowl on his face. Elizabeth immediatelyughed to lighten the mood. Im sorry. It was a


    misunderstanding on my part.”


    “Ms. Raker, you have been persistently bothering me. Is there something you need?” His tone was


    slightly cold.


    Elizabeth paused for a moment, then shook her head. “I just saw you and wanted to say hello, There is


    nothing more to it than that.”


    “Is that so? But I don’t know you very well. It is not appropriate for a man and a woman to be too close.


    Next time… Ms. Raker, it would be best if you kept your distance from me. I have no patience for


    people I am not familiar with. Moreover… my girlfriend is here, and I don’t want someone insignificant


    to cause unnecessary misunderstandings between us.”


    Elizabeth’s face darkened slightly. Even with her extreme restraint, she couldn’t bear Jasper’s


    words.


    Those words seemed to insinuate something, prompting Elizabeth to continue the


    conversation.


    Initially, Elizabeth’s attempts to strike up a conversation were met with indifference by Jasper. He had


    no intention of engaging with her. On the contrary, he wanted to dista himself from her.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Now that she was approaching him again, she had essentially crossed his boundar


    He wasn’t interested in women who threw themselves at him.


    Besides, he already had Eileen.


    Jasper left with Eileen, leaving behind a very upset Elizabeth.


    Jasper opened the passenger door, and Eileen got into the car.


    While in the car, he exined himself, fearing that Eileen might misunderstand something.


    Eileen gave a slight smile. “I trust you.”


    The voice heard on the phonest time. It must have been hers.
