Chapter 104 Mr. Larsen Wants to Try Something New
As she got out of the car, Elianna kept her head down and avoided direct eye contact with
Jefferson.
"Jeff."
Asher lowered his voice and sounded deeper in the vast parking lot.
Jefferson held the cigarette between his fingers and asked with a smirk, "Asher, weren''t you
supposed to send Anna home and head back to Eclipse? Are you beingzy?"
After getting busted, Asher who was still young couldn''t remainposed and stammered as he
tried to exin.
"Yeah, well, Elianna said she was hungry, so she asked me to join her for a meal."
Jefferson naturally shifted his gaze to Elianna and asked, "Is that so, Anna?"
Elianna didn''t want to say anything else, so she simply nodded.
As Jefferson looked at Elianna, Asher also observed Jefferson with growing suspicion in his eyes.
The atmosphere between them became increasingly peculiar. So to ease the tension, Darren had to
intervene.
"The parking lot isn''t an ideal ce for talks. Let''s go upstairs."
Thus, these three, each with their own thoughts and intentions, entered the elevator one by one.
Jefferson, the calmest among them, was the first to enter the elevator, while Darren followed closely
beside him and stood beside him.
Elianna and Asher stood ahead of them.
When she couldn''t see what was happening behind her but felt the gaze of scrutiny from behind,
Elianna felt on edge and kept staring at the ascending floor numbers.
She was hoping to reach their destination faster.
"Ding."
As the elevator doors opened, Elianna hurriedly walked out, almost as if she were running away.
When she was led to a private room, she finally regained herposure.
It was at this moment that she realized how grave the current crisis was.
Now that Asher knew of her betrayal, he wouldn''t ept her as his fiancée given that he was Mr.
Asher of the Larsen family.
If he chose to call off the engagement, the Gentry family wouldn''t let her get away with this.
If she was no longer the daughter-inw of the Larsen family, she would be of no use to the Gentry
family.
Then her own family...
No, she couldn''t allow Asher to break off the engagement.
With these thoughts, she didn''t notice that there was already someone inside the private room.
"Anna?"
N was surprised upon seeing Elianna.
Elianna snapped back to reality and noticed that N appeared equally surprised. She then turned
to look at Jefferson.
Jefferson didn''t seem surprised at all, as if he had known in advance that N would be here.
Seeing the astonished look on their faces, Darren chuckled and exined, "Ms. N had invited us
for a meal, and it wouldn''t have been right for Jeff and me to bring other guests. However, since
Elianna and Asher are also Ms. N''s sister and brother-inw, we thought it would be a pleasant
coincidence to invite them too."
This exnation rified why these two groups had unexpectedly encountered each other.
After making things clear, Darren gestured for everyone to take their seats.
"We''re all family here, so let''s skip the formalities. Please, take a seat."
Jefferson naturally sat on the seat of honour, with Darren on his left.
N hesitated for a moment before taking the empty seat beside Jefferson.
To her right were Elianna and Asher.
The waiter handed them menus.
N didn''t open hers and gently said, "Today, I''m treating you all. Feel free to order anything you
like."
She then turned to Jefferson and suggested, "Jefferson, they have excellent cigars here. Would you
like to try one?"
Jefferson, who had been about to light a cigarette, put down his lighter and leaned back in his chair,
saying, "Sure, trying something new sounds good."
As she was pouring water, Elianna paused upon hearing hisment, wondering if it held any
deeper meaning.
After she finished pouring the water, she naturally ced the ss on Asher''s side.
Asher, who had been silent all the way, didn''t respond to her nice gesture and simply pushed the
ss back.
However, he didn''t control his strength, so the ss toppled over and water was spilled all over
Elianna.
"Gosh!" N noticed this and quickly handed a napkin to Elianna, saying, "Wipe it off."
"Thank you."
Elianna felt bitter as she was wiping the water on her. She thought that it was not her day today.
Fortunately, the ss rolled on the table, and only a small amount of water had been spilled on her.
As she was busy drying her clothes, the appetizers arrived.
N rolled up her sleeves and elegantly served Jefferson the escargot. She said, "Jeff, you can
continue enjoying your smoke; let me handle this."
As a woman raised and trained by the Gentry family, N made even the process of extracting snail
meat seem elegant.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
She selected the appropriate fork from the array of cutlery, pulled the meat from shells, and put the
te back in front of Jefferson.
Jefferson raised an eyebrow, briefly nced at Elianna who was sitting across from him and looked
back at N.
"That''s very considerate of you."
