    Chapter 235 Do the Two of You Love Each Other Very Much?


    “The waiter’s voice reached my ears. “Mr. Yates, your guest has arrived.”


    After saying that, the walter left upon receiving a nod from Charlie.


    Seeing me standing still, Charlie smiled gently. “Ms. Scott, please take a seat.”


    I nodded, btedly regaining my voice. “Okay, thank you.”


    Sitting across from Charlie, I still felt somewhat dazed. The man in front of me was extremely


    handsome, like an exquisitely sculpted artifact.


    A sculpted face, yes, that was the right description. It was just too perfect.


    His nose, mouth, eyes, and even the shape of his face were wless.

    Did tuch not say he was injured in a car ident? Howe…


    I could not help but scrutinize his face. Upon closer inspection, I could indeed see traces of scars, but


    they were faint, almost invisible.


    “Ms. Scott?” The man in front of me slightly pursed his lips, his beautiful eyes fixed on me int confusion.


    “rightened you?””


    I


    I quickly shook my head and took a deep breath. “No, it’s just that this is the first time we’re meeting


    like this, and I’m slightly… not used to it.”


    He suddenly chuckled, apologetically saying, “I’m really sorry aboutst time. I had to use the screen


    because my wounds hadn’t healed properly. I apologize if that made you ufortable.


    I shook my head, wanting to say something, but my mind went nk, and I wondered if I was being


    swayed by appearances.


    Bzz… My phone vibrated, pulling me back to reality. I looked down and saw a message from Idris: [I’m


    waiting downstairs.]


    Seeing the message, 1 frowned and nced out the window, indeed spotting Idris’s ck. Bugatti.


    Noticing my gaze, Charlie followed my line of sight and naturally saw Idris‘ car too. Raising an eyebrow,


    his voice betrayed no emotion. “Your friend? Or…?”


    I nodded and said, “My husband…” After speaking, I realized how redundant this answer was


    considering Idris and I were already divorced. What husband?

    Wanting to exin, but not wanting Charlie to misinterpret, I decided to change the subject.” Mr. Yates,


    is what you said on the phone this morning true? You’re nning to coborate with Scott Corporation


    on the development project in Avaloria?”


    Charlie nodded, his handsome face revealing a faint smile. “Yes. If possible, I hope Ms. Scott can


    arrange for us to sign the contract soon. I will also arrange for mypany’s representatives to liaise


    with yours, so we can start the project quickly.”


    He did not have much else to say besides bringing up the matter of signing the contract.


    Naturally, I was happy inside, but after some thought, I curiously asked, “Mr. Yates, may I ask.


    you a question? Why did you choose to coborate with Scott Corporation? After all, there are many


    capable and influential enterprises in Lake City. Scott Corporation has gone through several setbacks


    and doesn’t seem to have many advantages in the eyes of others.”


    He looked at me, his eyes still carrying a light smile. “You just said it yourself, to outsiders Scott


    Corporation may not seem advantageous, but I am not an outsider.”


    Hmm?


    I looked at him, a bit slow to catch on.


    He smiled, his lips curving. “You’re a friend of Inch, so naturally, you’re my friend too.” Ah, okay then.


    I smiled, guessing that this exnation made some sense.


    It seemed the business talk was almost done, and the waiter had almost finished serving all the dishes.


    Looking at thevish spread on the table, he said, “I wasn’t sure what you liked, so I ordered a variety.


    Try whatever you want and eat what you like.”


    Looking at the dishes on the table, I thought to myself that he really was wealthy. This was a meal for


    two, yet he had ordered enough for four or five people. If the table had been bigger, I bet he would


    have ordered more.


    I smiled, wanting to say something, but worried it mighte off sycophantic, so I just kept quiet and


    started eating.


    However, I was taken aback when some food was suddenly ced on my te. Instinctively, I looked


    up into Charlie’s handsome eyes. He withdrew the fork he used to serve me, smiling. “I think their pork


    cutlets are quite good. Give it a try.”


    I nodded, picking up the meat he served me, and thanked him with a smile.


    We w


    were not very familiar with each other, and now that business was settled, we did not have much else


    to chat about. I continued eating quietly, wracking my brain for topics to discuss, trying to prevent the


    atmosphere from bing too awkward.


    “Do the two of you love each other very much?” Charlie’s voice suddenly came from above.
