The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 774

He told her to go on ahead by herself.

Jessa hesitated. She had been hoping David would come pick her up. That was what made a date feel special, like a real occasion.

“David, can’t you come get me? I...” she started.

David shut her down before she could finish. “Jessa, I already had someone book us a table at the steakhouse. I’ve got a big meeting to handle, so just go straight there. Be good, okay?”

The way he said those last words, so confident and commanding, sent a thrill through her. Jessa had always been drawn to powerful men. She agreed right away. “Alright, David. I’ll head over. Don’t keep me waiting too long.”

“I won’t.”

Jessa got ready and had her driver drop her at the steakhouse.

A waiter met her at the door, all smiles. “Miss Wade, welcome. Your table is ready. Please come with me.”

He led her to a private table by the window, where the view was beautiful. Jessa couldn’t help but smile. This was exactly the kind of place she liked.

“Miss Wade, can I get you something to drink?”

“Just a coffee for now,” Jessa replied. “I’ll wait for David before we order anything else.”

“Of course. I hope you and Mr. Harmon have a wonderful evening together,” the waiter added with a wink.

Jessa was in a great mood. When her coffee arrived, she sipped it slowly, feeling like everything was just right.

That’s when she heard a familiar voice. It was Lilly. She had just walked in and spotted Jessa right away. “Jessa, it’s you.”

Lilly was fuming. In her head, she was calling David every name she could think of. How could he do this to Ella?

“Jessa, you’re such a liar. There’s no way David would ask you out. You’re just trying to get under my skin, but I’m not buying it.”

Jessa only looked more pleased with herself. “Fine, Lilly. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you sit over there and wait? You’ll see for yourself when David shows up.”

Lilly didn’t want to believe her cousin could be this kind of guy, but she wasn’t about to back down. “Alright, Jessa. Let’s see who’s lying.”

She took a seat at the table right across from Jessa, staring her down.

Jessa’s lips curled into a confident smile. She couldn’t wait for Lilly’s shock when David arrived.
