A Love Rekindled

Chapter 89

But was it necessary? After all, everyone knew how biased Bruce was toward Cindy. He even wanted to sue Anika for her sake. That was a privilege that people like us couldn't dream of having. However, there was something else I now had a dilemma about—I wasn't sure if I should ask Douglas to meet.

“You should go ahead and call Mr. Irvin. He would probably want you to." Caroline continued fanning the flames. "Cindy is the one setting this up anyway. It would be fine even if Bruce was displeased. It wouldn't be our fault anyway.”

Caroline had her fair reasoning. However, I wasn't keen on dragging Douglas into this again.

After putting some thought into it. I decided to turn up solo.

Their reservation was for 7:30 pm.

Before Cindy left the office, she dropped by to bid me goodbye.

I didn't waste any time either and departed shortly after.

Nonetheless, I was new to driving, so I was still unfamiliar with the roads. And by the time I arrived at Rico Restaurant, it was almost dinner time. I looked for a waiter to inquire about the location of the private room. But unexpectedly, I spotted Douglas standing a short distance away.

He was wearing a long. wool coat that was light tan-colored. He also had a tartan-check pattern Burberry scarf around his neck, and under his coat, he wore a formal and smart-looking suit.

His outfit looked casual yet serious at the same time.

At that moment, he was speaking with a staff member.

Then, as if he could sense that he was being watched, he suddenly turned around and saw me. After that, he walked toward me with big strides.

"Hi, Nancy.” He smiled slightly. "I thought I was late."

I looked at him with a perplexed look on my face. "You were waiting for me?” I asked.

"Yeah. Aren't we meeting Ms. Lane for dinner tonight?"All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon further inquiry, I found out that I wasn't the only one whom Cindy had extended her invitation to. Apparently. she'd also personally called Douglas.

She'd even called him te remind him to be punctual. But she wasn’t aware that I hadn't planned to invite Douglas at all.

Now. my plan was messed up.

It was as if Douglas realized what was running.through my mind, so he said in amapologetic tone, "I was the one whoveaused you trouble with>> regards t to searching for an attorney. Yourfave to give me a change’ to redeem myself this time, Nancy."

As usual, he was able to make anything sound so pleasant. I was the one who owed him a favor. However, I noticed the sincere expression on Douglas’ face and couldn't bring myself to ask him to leave.

So, in the end, I sighed and said, "That's not your fault. I was the one who was being too impatient.”

Douglas broke into a smile as he nonchatantly replied, "We've both made mistakes. Shall we redeem ourselves together then?" Content -

I was aboutto answer him when I : heard Cindy’ s voice coming from besideme. In a sweet-sounding> Voice, ‘she said, "Hi, Nance. Hiy Mr. Irvin. What a coincidence.".Content ~

I looked toward the direction of her voice. Cindy was holding on to Bruce's arm, and they were standing a few meters away.

Cindy looked cheerful and innocent as she put on a convincing act of being surprised to bump into us.

In fact, it didn’t seem like she was acting at all.

Meanwhile, Bruce was standing next to her, and there was a glint in his eyes.

His gaze was fiery, and the shape of his brows showed a clear depiction of his disgust.

But it didn't matter how convincing Cindy's acting was.

Bruce had already made up his mind that Nancy Fisher was a cunning and selfish person.

Just take this uncoincidental coincidence as an example. He'd probably assume that I had come with bad intentions in mind. He probably thought that I was the one who set up this coincidental meeting.

Well, so what if I did have other intentions? Wasn't it more important to achieve my goal?

So, I went up to them

Then, I warmly and causally greeted them, "Hello, Mr. Harold and Ms. Lane. What a coincidence to see the both of you here."
