Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 19

The next morning, Monica appeared in Roland Wang's office wearing black-framed glasses and old-fashioned clothes. Roland Wang looked at her from top to bottom for a while. "Moni, you waste such a good figure of you!"

Monica ignored him and made him tea and put it on his desk as usual. Then she began to look at the Roland Wang's work schedule of today.

Roland Wang squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea. He exhaled a long breath and said, "I always think the tea you made is the best. There's a saying that it feels like three years after a day's separation. Without seeing you for two days. I can't do this job anymore."

Monica lowered her head and looked down, but did not say anything. Roland Wang talked to himself for a long time, but he did not get her answer. He also felt bored, so he looked down at the document in front of him.

It was finally noon, and it was Roland Wang's lunchtime. He used to ignore her, but today he changed the rule and ordered Monica to have lunch with him.

Monica didn't want to eat with him at all, but there was no reason to object. Roland Wang took her to XM Restaurant, which used to be the place where she and Quarmy Huo often came to eat.

Seeing this familiar yet strange place, Monica felt uneasy, but she couldn't let Roland Wang change to another one, so she suppressed the uncomfortable feeling and went into the restaurant with Roland Wang.

Roland Wang pulled out a chair for her very gentlemanly. When she sat down, he told her, "It's said that the dishes in this restaurant are the best in Jiang City till now. I've eaten them that day and they tasted good, so I brought you here to have a taste."

Monica didn't say anything. The dishes cooked by the chef of XM Restaurant were indeed top-notch. After they sat down, Roland Wang ordered the specialty dishes of XM Restaurant, French fried goose liver, French snail, black pepper red wine steak. As soon as he ordered the meal, his phone rang. Fie took the phone and answered it. Monica felt much more comfortable without the annoying Roland Wang by her side.

She looked around and saw Madrigal Jane.

Madrigal Jane was wearing a white dress, sitting at a place not far away from her. It seemed that she was waiting for someone. Seeing her noble and elegant look, Monica remembered how she and Yale Guo looked like when they had just arrived at the Jane family. A sneer appeared on Monica's lips. Talking about a squirrel changed into a phoenix.

She looked back and saw a tall and straight figure entering the restaurant. Quarmy Fluo was really romantic. Fie used to like to accompany her here for dinner, but now he liked to accompany his new lover here for dinner. Different people lived in the same place. Didn't he feel uncomfortable?

But thinking about his worries was really unnecessary. For a man like him, women were like clothes, so how could he feel uncomfortable?

She didn't want Quarmy Huo to see her, so she changed her seat so that she could turn her back to them. After Roland Wang answered the phone, he was a little confused to see her change her position, but he didn't say anything and sat in the position where Monica just sat.

When they sat down, he saw Quarmy Huo and Madrigal Jane. "I didn't expect Quarmy Huo to come here for lunch"

Monica nodded, "Is Mr. Wang very familiar with him?"

"I just knew him," Roland Wang answered. "Last time I had a car accident with him. I don't know why he went to that damn place in the middle of the night."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered that this place was where Monica lived. He immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "I made a slip of the tongue. Moni, don't mind."

Quarmy Huo suddenly looked in their direction. He recognized the woman with her back to him with only one glance. When he saw Roland Wang's flattering smile at Monica, his heart stopped and the smile on his face faded a little.
