"Yeah, I noticed that too." Liz blinked. "I also noticed that you started looking uncomfortable after meeting Matt."
Anyone would be curious when a person who had turned to ashes suddenly showed up in front of you alive.
I suppressed all the emotions in my heart and chuckled bitterly. "Of course, I'm curious. You kept boasting about how good Matt is when we were on the plane."
As soon as I said that, Liz's face turned red. "Wanda!"
I laughed. "Also, I look uncomfortable because I got caught in the rain at the airport and caught a cold. I’m feeling a little under the weather."
After hearing what I said, Liz looked nervously at me. " Have you gone to see a doctor?"
I shook my head. "It's not serious. Taking medicine will do the trick."
"I'm sorry.” Liz felt a little apologetic. "I asked you out for dinner when you're feeling unwell."
I smiled. "It's an honor to have a meal with such a beautiful lady like you. I’m more than happy."
Liz planned to take me shopping after dinner, but she had to cancel the plan because I was not feeling well.
Liz put down her cutleries after eating. "We’ll take you back to the hotel, Wanda.”
I shook my head. "No thanks, my husband is around here. He'll come and pick me up later."
"Why don't you go and pay the bill?" Matt looked at Liz and suddenly said, "I'll take Miss Lane outside.”
Liz nodded and left obediently.
I pursed my lips, my countenance a little dull. I got up and quickly walked out of the restaurant. He followed behind me without a word.
When we got out of the restaurant, the phone in my pocket started ringing. I took out my phone and saw that it was a call from Theo.
