Chapter 107
“Bruce…”
“Hurry up,” Bruce said.
Roxanne had no choice but to get up and leave the restaurant with him.
After getting back into the car, Bruce remained silent. He turned on the ignition as soon as Roxanne fastened her seatbelt.
Just as the car left the car park, they happened to see a silver Bentley coming toward them.
Bruce felt a sudden shock upon seeing the car that he suspected belonged to Joanna.
He glanced at the license plate. It was indeed Joanna’s car.
He reckoned that Joanna also came to this place to eat.
Thinking of this, Bruce looked displeased, suspecting that Joanna must have made an appointment with a man. It was rare for someone to come to such a high–end restaurant alone to eat.
“Roxy, I have something to do now, so I can’t send you back, Bruce said, stepping on the brake abruptly and stopping the car on the roadside. “Please take a taxi by yourself.”
Roxanne was jolted by the sudden stop of the car due to inertia. She looked at Bruce in shock and said, “Bruce…”
Bruce looked a little uncomfortable. “Um, why don’t I call Andy and ask him to pick you up?” he said.
“Bruce, why are you in such a hurry?” Roxanne said. “What are you going to do?”
Bruce said, “I suddenly remember something very important that needs to be dealt with right away.
“Get out of the car first!”
Upon hearing that, Roxanne was so angry that her face turned red.
It had never occurred to her that Bruce had treated her coldly to such an extent.
“Bruce, what’s more urgent than the matter between us?” Roxanne said angrily, stiffening her body and refusing to get out of the car. “I’m not getting out of the car!”
Bruce frowned and made up his mind. “Drive back by yourself then!” he said.
As he spoke, Bruce threw the car key to Roxanne. Then, he got out of the car and left without looking back.
“Bruce, Bruce…”
Roxanne hurriedly got out of the car. Bruce was already walking into the distance.
Over here, Joanna had just parked her car, opened the door, and got out of the car.
She had just arranged to have dinner with Jaydon.
Today’s incident was quite a scene, so she naturally wanted to treat him to a meal and apologize to him.
However, she never expected Bruce to be here too.
After getting out of the car, Joanna took out her phone and involuntarily called Jaydon. “Hello, Jay,” she said. “Are you here?”
Jaydon was almost there. “Yes,” he said. “Tll be there in five minutes.”

Chapter 107
“I’ll go in first then,” Joanna said. “It’s the same seat as last timel
“Alright!” Jaydon said.
As Joanna hung up the phone, locked the car doors, and prepared to head toward the restaurant, a tall and sturdy figure suddenly blocked her way.
Joanna was so frightened that she stopped in her tracks. When she looked up, she was even more frightened. She took a step
back.
“Bruce, why are you here?” Joanna asked.
Bruce frowned and looked inside her car. There was no one else.
“Whom did you make a dinner appointment with?” Bruce asked.
Joanna was at a loss for words. Her eyes widened.
“Aren’t you being too nosy?” Joanna said. “Can’t I even ask someone out for a meal?”
Bruce’s handsome face was extremely displeased. “Is the person you’re meeting a man or a woman?” he asked. “Is it Jaydon?”
Joanna suddenly felt anxious. She took a deep breath and looked at Bruce irritably. “Mr. Everett, you’re really strange!” she said. “Does it have anything to do with you whom I’m meeting for a meal?”
“Of course it does!” Bruce said. “Are you meeting a man or a woman?”
Joanna was so angry that she could not help but curse. “You’re crazy!” she said.
