    Este nned to get some desserts and go to W Marks Studio to see Natalie.


    Because Larson Group was also nearby, she called Sean to say hi. It would be great if she could have


    dinner with Sean after seeing Natalie.


    But Sean’s voice sounded strange. Este noticed he was being very cautious, and she immediately


    realized something was wrong.


    “What are you doing now? Sean!” Este asked aloud. The tension could be heard in her voice.


    Sean apologized, a cold sweat running down his back. He cast a subconscious nce at Vivian, and


    then said to Este, “I can’t really talk right now; I’ll call youter, okay?”


    Este would not give up and angrily said, “I’ming to you.”


    Since Este said so, she would do as she said. She was now close to Sean’s workce, and finding


    Sean was only a matter of time.


    Sean frowned even more and whispered to Este, “Mr. Larson sent me on a secret mission. I’m in a


    restaurant close to thepany.”


    He paused for a brief moment before he continued, “We can talk about itter.”


    When Este heard Sean about to hang up, she immediately said, “What a coincidence! I’m also


    nearby the Larson Group right now. Which restaurant are you in? I’m going there right away.”


    Sean suddenly became aware that Este’s voice was not onlying from his phone but also from a


    ce very close to him. Este was in fact standing at the reception desk and surveying the area when


    he looked up at the restaurant’s entrance.


    Este saw Sean at the same time. She cheerfully waved at him.


    At first, Este didn’t realize that someone else was behind Sean. Approaching, she saw ady seated


    elegantly at the table.


    Este couldn’t help but stare at Vivian. At a nce, Este sensed that Vivian was not a simple girl,


    and she had to be vignt with her.


    “I am surprised to see you with a femalepany.” Este forced a smile.


    Sean secretly met another woman, which made Este a little jealous. But in retrospect, Este and


    Sean weren’t in a rtionship. If she questioned Sean here like a jealous girlfriend, it would only


    embarrass herself. Este was unhappy and waited with a long face for Sean’s response.


    Sean wanted to say something but he hesitated on second thought. Atst, he couldn’t let out a word.


    Este was even more depressed. “Just tell me the truth if you are dating a beauty. You even lied to me


    that you were on a secret mission,” she said with a smile as she approached Sean, hard-pinching his


    shoulder as if she were letting out her rage.


    Vivian’s expression immediately changed dramatically upon hearing the phrase “secret mission.”


    Sean covered Este’s mouth with his hand right away. His eyes grew icy. “Este!” he eximed in an

    unusually serious tone. That’s nonsense! You can’t just barge in and mess with something like this. You


    have no right to ask about my private life!”


    Sean would never use such a rude tone of voice, as far as Este knew.


    She was momentarily stunned, and then felt very hurt.


    Este struggled to free herself from Sean’s grasp. “You lied to me. And you are angry with me?” she


    said as she red at the man in front of her in shock.


    Este was definitely not a pushover. She would undoubtedly and without hesitation defend herself if


    someone directed their rage at her. But now it was Sean who was scolding her. Este just felt very


    hurt, as if her heart was tightly squeezed by a palm.


    “I won’t have dinner with you. Don’t pester me anymore.” Sean nudged Este’s shoulder and pushed


    her away impatiently. He didn’t dare look at Este. Her eyes may well have filled with tears.


    Pushed, Este staggered. She turned around, helpless, choking on sobs. “You’ve never treated me


    like this before.”


    She now felt like Sean had only pretended to be nice to her before, and in fact, he didn’t like her at all.


    The cold man before her was probably the real Sean Johnson.


    Sean couldn’t help but clench his fists. He frowned a little, but he didn’t exin.


    “I won’t talk to you anymore!” Este gritted her teeth as she spoke before she turned around and ran


    out of the restaurant.


    Sean unknowingly took two steps forward, but when he thought Vivian was still behind him, he stopped


    and sat back down in his chair. He was so calm as if nothing had happened.


    Sean forced a smile and said, “You can keep on eating. Don’t let someone unimportant spoil our


    dinner.”


    Vivian furrowed her eyebrows and handed the ss to Sean. “Mr. Johnson, how about you drink up


    this ss and show me how sincere you are? Then I won’t hold on to what your little sweetheart just


    did.”


    Sean was in a bad mood so he didn’t think too much. He took the ss Vivian handed over and drank


    up.


    “That’s very impressive,” said Vivian as she looked at Sean, smiling slyly.


    After Sean drank from his ss, he seemed much more depressed than before.


    Vivian slowly chewed her food before picking up another ss and taking a sip of wine. She then


    looked at Sean’s sad face, knowing that there was definitely something going on between him and


    Este.


    She still had to thank her, though. If Este and Sean hadn’t had a dispute, Vivian wouldn’t have had a


    chance to drug Sean’s drink.


    “Your pasta is getting cold if you don’t start eating now,” Vivian said as she wiped her mouth with a


    napkin. She then shed Sean a smile.


    Now, all she needed to do was to wait for the drug to take effect. It would take a while, though. The


    drug could make people sluggish, much like how drunk people act. “I’ll eat,” Sean replied, giving her a


    shy smile.


    “Okay.” Vivian nodded and took another sip of her wine. “Didn’t you ask me about my rtionship with


    Miss Turner? I actually met her before I went abroad.”
