"You also look like another person!" Sawyer said seriously. I continued cutting into my steak. I thought he was just chatting as he was too bored.
"Mm!" I responded indifferently as I focused my gaze onto the plate.
Sawyer didn't eat. He merely swirled his wine glass and said, "You look very much like my mother, especially your eyes."
I found Sawyer incredibly boring. As I continued biting another piece of steak, I said, "I do have a fairly common look. Some people even thought that I looked like Andrea!"
I remember that Grandfather used to make that remark, but I disagreed. After all, there were too many people who shared the same eye color. Being born into the same land meant that we shared a common ancestor, and it was not uncommon for everyone to at least have some resemblance with one another.
He curled his lips and drank all the red wine in his glass. He then looked at me and said, "Why did you decide to transfer to another university when you were in Newland University?"
What he said stunned me. How could he know about things that had happened several years ago?
Putting down the knife and fork in his hand, I looked at him and said, "Were we schoolmates?"
He raised his eyebrows, poured himself another glass of red wine, and said, "You really don't remember?"
I shook my head. I could only recall meeting him after being involved in auditing Roberts Group. Other than that, it was all blank.
Sawyer shrugged his shoulders and did not say any further.
He looked at me and said, "It doesn't matter. Just make sure you remember me in the future."
We ended up chatting for a while. Sawyer didn't eat at all but proceeded to drink the entire bottle. He must have drunk too much as he was leaning on the table staring blankly at me.
Noticing that it was getting late, I got up and went to pay the bill. If I went home too late, it would probably be difficult for me to get up in time the next morning.
Destiny sometimes behaved in an unpredictable manner. I coincidentally saw Sawyer's mother, Valerie Lawson, walking with Andrea beside her.
To be honest, bumping into either one of them was not a big deal at all. However, it was peculiar seeing both of them together.
