Chapter 282: Acting Out Their Own y


    “Tsk tsk, Daniel, you are really hypocritical.” Leigh snorts, “You said you were going to New York, but


    look at youing here with Louis in the end to see someone, ahem!”


    Louis says casually, “Leigh, the biggest suppliers of your two listedpanies are Daniel’s. One day


    Daniel is going to stop your supply and you will go bankrupt.”


    The smile on Leigh’s face diappears immediately as he pours tea into Daniel’s cup, saying in a tone


    dipped in ttery, “Daniel, here, drink some tea! Ignore me please, I am still young and stupid!”


    Daniel is toozy to reply.


    Quite soon their table is filled with the dishes they ordered. There are too many dishes, most of which


    are ordered by Leigh saying that he is afraid Jessie will go hungry. He eagerly offers her the barbecue


    meat.


    “Honey, try this barbecue.”


    “Honey, this chicken cheese curry rice is really good. Let me feed you.”


    “Honey, here’s some pear juice, open your mouth!”


    “Honey…”


    All the people on the table can hear his annoying “Honey”. He even leans over to kiss Jessie from time


    to time, not caring about anyone else.


    “Leigh.” Louis says quietly, “Can you shut up? Or do you want me to make you shut up?”


    Leigh replies, “You can do this too! I don’t mind…”


    Before he can finish his sentence, Daniel’s hand passes from behind Louis’s chair, grabs Leigh’s hair


    and ms his face first into a te of spaghetti with meat sauce.


    Daniel asks him, “Is your mouth shut now?”


    The women at the table rock back and forth roaring withughter.


    After having finishedughing, Jessie passes him a tissue, “Wipe your face, Daniel!” She snorts with


    Leigh feels wronged, “Honey, I am doing all this for you and you areughing at me?”


    As he raises his head, his whole face covered in sticky meat sauce makes Jessieugh crazily. Seeing


    Jessieugh, Leigh feels like he just got hit with a thousand volts.


    “I am sorry… Oh! I need to take this call.” Jessie’s cellphone rings and after seeing the number she


    hurries away to receive it.


    Lily is feels curious when she sees her anxious expression.


    Is there a problem at thepany?


    At the same time, Louis’s gaze pauses on Jessie for a bit, his expressions meaningful.


    “Mr. Daniel, isn’t it a bit nd?” Seeing the food on Daniel’s te untouched Ste passes him the


    ck pepper.


    Daniel doesn’t even raise his eyes to look at her.


    Ste rests her chin on her hand and looks at him with a smile, “Mr. Daniel, we have known each other


    through quite a lot. I know that we can’t be lovers but can’t we at least be friends?”


    “No need for that.” Daniel’s expressions are cold. He looks like he has nothing more to say.


    Ste hums in response and continues the conversation without getting angry, “Mr. Daniel, you are


    thirty-three years old, right? Are you married?”


    “Noment!”


    “Hmm! So, you haven’t married yet.” Ste guesses and asks again, “Do you have a child?”


    “…”


    Ste shakes her head and looks at him pitifully, “Mr. Daniel, you are already in your thirties but have


    no girlfriend or wife and have no children. What a failure of a man you are!”


    “Daniel didn’t even answer but you already know that he hasn’t?” Louis looks at Ste with a


    meaningful smile, “What kind of life he has lived in New York for the past three years, can you see that


    too?”


    Ste chuckles, “Looking at him, I can guess that it wasn’t that good!”


    “Not necessarily!” Louis raises his eyebrows, “There were quite some young executives in thepany


    in New York who had a thing for him and often invited him out for dinner.”


    He taps his chin thoughtfully and says, “I remember on a Christmas some years back, there was a


    twenty-three-year-old Polish woman, an executive in hispany, who invited him for dinner, and he


    didn’t return home that night.”


    Louis kicks Leigh under the table.


    “Yeah! I also remember that!” Louis agrees hurriedly. He can’t do anything else but he is experienced in


    these games and he understands what’s going on. Louis kicks him again and Leigh knows just what to


    add.


    He smiles and says, “She was so pretty. Big eyes, straight nose, killer body, enough to make people


    lose their minds. But she resigned a month after that Christmas. Maybe it was because she found out


    she was pregnant and ran away with Daniel’s child.”


    “I think so too!” Louis agrees, “The child must be two years old now, right?”


    “Should be.”


    The two brothers are acting out their own y.


    Daniel frowns and opens his mouth to say something. But before he can say anything, Ste, who is


    sitting opposite to him, gets up sullenly. She picks up the ss of warm water in front of her and


    sshes it in his face.


    She smiles coldly, “Go to your Polish executive!”


    She picks up her jacket and leaves.


    “Wow! She is really fierce!” Leigh passes a tissue to Daniel. This is the first time he has seen Daniel


    being sshed with water by someone, and yet Daniel doesn’t look angry at all.


    “Are you both shitting us or is it really true?” Lily’s eyes widened, “Mr. Daniel, do you really have an


    illegitimate child?”


    “No.” Daniel replies, wiping the water off his face, “I am busy, unlike Leigh and Louis, I don’t have time


    to go out and y around with women.”


    Lily’s expressions change, “What do you mean?”


    Daniel looks at Louis and sneers, “Do you know Dolores Moore, former executive of Smith Group’s


    overseas department? She was transferred to New York this year and joined the Finance department


    there. It was arranged by your honorable boss Mr. Louis Smith. On valentine’s day he spent a hundred


    million to rent the entire Silver Bridge Club and spent the whole night there with her.”


    “Oh!” Leigh exims, clearly wanting the world to burn in chaos, “So that’s why I couldn’t get hold of


    him no matter how many times I called, because he went on a date.”


    Louis’s expressions turn ugly, “Excuse…”


    “Louis, you lying bastard!” Lily gets up angrily and curses at him, “What did you say? Never been near


    women? Turns out your private life is already too rich with women.”


    As she is about to leave, she spots lemonade on the table. She picks it up and sshes it on his face,


    C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    “You go back to your Dolores!”


    Leigh quickly swerves to the side, avoiding the lemonade ssh.


    The surrounding guests look at them as the two men get sshed in a row.


    Louis wipes his face and looks at Daniel helplessly, “Daniel, I was trying to help you! Is that how you


    repay kindness? You also know the actual story of Silver Bridge Club.”


    “When did I go to dinner with the senior executive on Christmas?” Daniel snaps back, “Her boyfriend


    came to pick her up, and he was wearing the same scarf as me so you thought it was me!”


    “Come on now, we are all brothers! Don’t quarrel.” Leigh passes a tissue to Louis, obviously gloating.


    Daniel and Louis look upset.


    Just then, Jessiees back after answering the call. Seeing that Lily and Ste are gone, she asks,


    “Where are they? Did they go to thedies’ room?”


    Seeing Daniel and Louis’s clothes still visibly wet around the cor, she is even more curious, “What


    happened to you two?”


    “They…”


    As Leigh is about to answer, Louis grabs his hair again and buries his face deep into the spaghetti


    again.


    Daniel unlocks his phone with his thumb and hands it to Jessie.
