Chapter 155
“Why are you still here?” Now that he was sure that he wouldn’t be called back once more, Niall left the
office briskly.
When Selena was about to pick up Juniper from school, she received the location of the restaurant via
a text from Pierre. As Juniper would be having ballet sses in the evening, she instructed Linda to
bring Juniper to her ss and scanned around the area of the ballet studio. After finding a restaurant
nearby, she sent the location to Pierre. ‘Let’s have dinner here today.’
Meanwhile, Pierre received her text when he was about to leave, and he went to the restaurant she told
him about. Just as he was about to say something, Selena took a nce at her cell phone and said,
“Juniper’s ss will take one hour and twenty minutes, and since ten minutes had already passed, we
have only one hour and ten minutes left.” “You even have to schedule a time for a meal?”
“It can’t be helped,” she replied with a shrug. Then, they went into the restaurant together. Much to their
surprise, the restaurant was unexpectedly popr and the VIP rooms were all upied; only a table by
the window was avable.
They would lose time if they were to go to another restaurant now. Thus, Selena decided to have their
meal there, and she only used two minutes for her order after the waitress rushed to their table with the
menu.
“You act like you’re racing against time,” Pierremented unhappily.
Sticking her tongue out, Selena said, “Juniper still doesn’t know about us, and she doesn’t like the idea
of me dating. So…”

“You should find a chance to let her know,” he replied, pissed at the fact that she made it sound like
they were having an affair. Furthermore, she was hiding it from a kid.
Very quickly, their food arrived and Selena ate slowly, knowing that she wouldn’t be eating much
because she would have to bring Juniper out to eat again when she finished her lesson.
Throughout the meal, Pierre seemed really irritated, and he didn’t eat much as well. Finally, he tossed
his napkin aside and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”
“Okay,” she muttered. Then, she took out her cell phone, and that was when she suddenly felt a tap on
her shoulder.
Without even lifting her head, shemented, “That was quick.”
When she didn’t hear a reply, she felt something was amiss, so she lifted her head and saw that the
person was actually Finneas.
Dressed in a standard leisure suit, he appeared sporty and dashing with his breathtaking features.
shing her a bright smile, he said, “What a coincidence, Selena.”
Since thest time they met on Sterne Ind, they had never seen each other again, and Finneas
clearly remembered the things she told Pierre before. Although she was reluctant to admit it, she was
still in love with him, because he knew he was her dream man during her youth.
However, Selena did not want to see him. “Yeah, what a coincidence,” she muttered.
Without even waiting for an invitation, he took a seat across from her. “I was nning to ask you out
recently, and I didn’t expect to run into you here. Don’t you think this is fated?”
Feeling a sudden pain in her head, she thought, Why is this man as clingy as superglue? Didn’t I make
myself clear enough thest time?
“I’m sorry, Mr. Lake, but I have a date now and it’s inconvenient for me to speak with you.”
Lowering his gaze, Finneas saw that there were no cutleries nor any tableware set up on his side of the
table, so obviously, she was here alone.
As Pierre didn’t like anything to be stacked in front of him, he had immediately asked for the dishes to
be cleared away once he was done eating. Hence, there was nothing on the other side of the table and
it appeared as though no one had eaten there before.
“You don’t have to act like this, Selena. We’ve known each other for years. Don’t you think that I know
what kind of person you are?”
Selena was unsure about how she should react to his statement, because she had no idea what gave
him the confidence to say such things.
